Keychron drops a walnut K3 Max for people bored with plastic

Wood accents just hit the low-profile keyboard game hard because Keychron decided the K3 Max needed a walnut makeover. This fresh All-Wood Edition maintains that classic 75% layout sans wires while ditching the boring chassis. Instead of plastic or aluminum, users get a genuine walnut case wrapping the familiar low-profile format.

Thick cases usually ruin wrists, yet this specific board dodges that nightmare. The company claims a 10.7 mm front height, which hits 20.2 mm at the keycap tops. That measurement keeps things comfy without requiring a wrist rest, barely adding height versus non-wood siblings.

Internals got swapped around since the All-Wood Edition runs low-profile Keychron Milk POM switches. Buyers pick between tactile brown or linear red options at checkout, though clicky fans get ignored here. Thankfully, hot-swap Gateron KS-33 sockets let modders toss in different compatible replacements later without soldering.

Under the hood sits a steel plate supporting a wireless 2.4 GHz radio alongside Bluetooth 5.2 connections for multi-device setups. Power drains from a 1550 mAh cell that allegedly lasts around 86 hours maximum, depending on usage. Spec sheets align perfectly with the older platform, aside from the fancy exterior.

Double-shot PBT keycaps in an LSA profile sport a colorway matching that walnut enclosure for a uniform look. Pricing sits at $119.99 via the official web shop. Basically, it offers the core checklist of hot-swap sockets and two wireless modes inside a wooden shell.
