Keychron K3 Max QMK VIA Ultra-Slim Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard Low Profile Gateron Switch Double-Shot PBT Keycap
Expert Take
Ultra-slim low-profile 75% mechanical keyboard with excellent build quality for the segment. 2.4GHz wireless is a significant upgrade over previous Keychron low-profile models. QMK/VIA support makes it highly customizable, though some wireless VIA functionality may be limited. Strong recommendation for users prioritizing portability and wireless convenience.
