Editorial Review
The Q3 Max is Keychron's Max-series refinement of the Q3 — same TKL layout and gasket-mount aluminum case as the original wired Q3, but rebuilt around the newer QMK/VIA-compatible wireless module that debuted across the Max lineup. The physical rotary knob remains, mapped by default to volume but fully remappable in VIA.
Build quality is consistent with the rest of the Q-series: a dense, double-gasket-mounted aluminum shell with a weighted, thocky bottom-out that punches well above the $219 price point. The connection toggle switches cleanly between Bluetooth (up to 3 paired devices), 2.4GHz via the included dongle, and wired USB-C.
The main reason to pick the Q3 Max over the Q1 Pro is the physical knob and the slightly more traditional TKL proportions rather than the Q1 Pro's marginally taller wireless-battery case. Both share the same PCB generation and wireless reliability, so the choice mostly comes down to whether a physical control knob matters to your workflow.
