Keychron V10 Max Quick Start Guide

If you are a Windows user, please find the appropriate keycaps in the box, then follow the instructions below to find and replace the following keycaps.

1 Connect 2.4GHz Receiver

Connect the 2.4GHz receiver to the device USB port.
Switch toggle to 2.4GHz mode.

For the best wireless experience, we recommend using the extension adapter for the receiver and placing it somewhere on your desk close to your keyboard for a low rate of latency and fewer signal interferences.

2 Connect Bluetooth

Switch toggle to Bluetooth mode.
Press fn + 1 (for 4 seconds) and pair with the device named Keychron V10 Max.

3 Connect Cable

Switch toggle to Cable mode.

4 Switch To The Right System

Please make sure the system toggle on the top left corner has been switched to the same system as your computer's operating system.

5 The VIA Key Remapping Software

Please visit usevia.app to use the online VIA software to remap the keys.

If the VIA cannot recognize your keyboard, please reach out to Keychron support for instructions.

*The online VIA software can only run on the latest version of Chrome, Edge, and Opera browsers. *VIA only works when the keyboard is connected by wire to the computer.

6 The Layers

There are four layers of key settings on the keyboard. The layer 0 and layer 1 are for the Mac system. The layer 2 and layer 3 are for the Windows system.

If your system toggle is switched to Mac, then layer 0 will be activated.

If your system toggle is switched to Windows, then layer 2 will be activated. Remember that if you are using it in Windows mode, please make changes to layer 2 instead of the top layer (layer 0). This is a common mistake people are making.

7 The Backlight

Press fn + Q to change the lighting effect.

8 Adjust The Backlight Brightness

Press fn + W to increase the backlight brightness.

Press fn + S to decrease the backlight brightness.

9 Warranty

The keyboard is highly customizable and easy to be rebuilt. If anything goes wrong with any of the keyboard components during the warranty period, Keychron will only replace the defective parts of the keyboard, not the whole keyboard.

For support, please contact support@keychron.com.
