Funcións clave e deseño

The K17 Max features a compact 96% layout, retaining most of the functionality of a full-sized keyboard while saving desk space. It includes a dedicated number pad and essential navigation keys.

The keycaps are made from durable double-shot PBT material, offering excellent oil resistance for long-term use.

Retroiluminación

The K17 Max features white LED backlighting with 14 different lighting effects to suit your preference. While the keycaps are double-shot PBT for durability, they are not shine-through, meaning the backlight illuminates around the keys rather than through the legends. This design choice prioritizes keycap longevity and feel.

No installation is needed; simply connect your keyboard via USB-C and access the launcher through your web browser. This ensures you always have access to the latest features and updates for an optimized experience.

To clean your Keychron K17 Max, gently wipe the keycaps and keyboard frame with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Almacenamento

When not in use, store your keyboard in a dry, dust-free environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight, which can affect the materials and internal components.
