Mountain is a relative newcomer into the gaming peripherals space, but with the Everest Max keyboard, the company has displayed an impressive ability to innovate and push the boundaries in terms of design and functionality.
The Everest Max has a level of modularity and customisation that I’ve yet to see on a gaming keyboard. For starters, it offers a total of three modular parts that can be attached and detached on the fly – a media dock with a display dial, a Numpad with customizable display keys, and a plush wrist rest.
You can even choose where you want the media dock and numpad to go, both on the left and right sides of the keyboard. They are also incredibly easy to attach and detach, and once in place, they feel very secure. You don’t need to fumble or peer over the side to look for the USB-C port.
The media dock slides into place effortlessly, and the numpad has helpful magnetic notches to guide it in place. There’s barely any wobble or give once they’re attached, and every bit of this build oozes premium. The cushy wrist rest is topped by PU leather and snaps on magnetically as well, so you don’t have to worry about it not being aligned either.
Base Camp software can be used to customise keys, effects and lighting.
