Keychron Q5 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard


Meet the Keychron Q5 Max
The Keychron Q5 Max is a full metal QMK/VIA wireless custom mechanical keyboard upgraded with a 2.4 GHz wireless connection, featuring a 1000 Hz polling rate. Elevating the typing experience further, it has been thoughtfully upgraded with multiple layers of acoustic foams, ensuring premium sound quality with every keystroke. Paired with many other premium features, the Keychron Q5 Max promises an unparalleled typing journey that transcends expectations.

Double-Shot PBT Keycaps
To further fine-tune your typing experience, we designed our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine-through PBT material, which is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.

2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection
Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the Q5 Max via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.

A Refined Piece Of Metal Art
The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machining, polished, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make this solid metal piece of art that is the Q5 Max.

Significantly Enhanced Acoustic Foams
Elevate the typing experience with a combination of premium acoustic foams such as IXPE, PET, and Latex. Each keystroke becomes enjoyable, making every tap a delight for the senses.

Easy Assemble
We designed every component to be easily assembled, so you can customize and adjust each component with ease to create your ultimate typing experience.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
A powerful ARM Cortex-M4 chip (MCU) equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on 2.4 GHz and wired modes (90 Hz on Bluetooth mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

Double-Gasket Design
The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the acoustic resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. Experience the next level of key sounds and comfort with our gasket mount design together with a flexible PC (Polycarbonate) plate. This design combination allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q5 Max comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Program The Q5 Max with QMK & VIA
Endless possibilities for a fluid workflow thanks to its ability to remap any key and create macro commands, shortcuts, or key combinations through the QMK/VIA.

Hot-Swappable
Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the Q5 Max with almost all of the 3-pin and 5-pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. You can customize your own typing experience in seconds.

South-Facing RGB
Comes with 22 types of RGB backlight settings. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed, and different modes, or even remap these keys with QMK/VIA.

Gateron Jupiter Switch
Our exclusive Gateron Jupiter mechanical switch (for the Fully Assembled version only) comes with a 3-pin design, pre-lubed with a reliable Gateron quality standard with up to 80 million keystrokes lifespan. While their unique LED diffuser design offers high RGB backlight transmittance and softer backlight effect. The banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.

PCB Stabilizers
No detail is too insignificant when it comes to your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as the space bar, shift, enter, and delete keys. You can even customize your favorite stabilizers on your own.
