Keychron V1 MAX Review: A Fundamental Shift Forward

The Keychron V1 has gotten a SERIOUS upgrade with the V1 MAX, transitioning the lineup from tray mount to GASKET MOUNT! There's a lot to unpack in terms of how the board has changed, from bottom case changes to having a proper daughterboard and, dare I say it... DECENT BOUNCE!? It's even sort of competent without foam and opens up great potential for the lineup. Watch to hear more of my thoughts and a huge thanks to mechanicalkeyboards.com for lending us this V1 MAX to review today!
