• A refined piece of metal art
  The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make this solid metal piece of art that is the Q5.
• All-around customizable keyboard
  To build a fully customizable keyboard, every component easily assembled was designed. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want.
• Double Gasket Design
  The Double Gasket Design is a special innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, silicone pads were added between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.
• An epic core inside the keyboard
  A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.
• OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps
  For the double-shot PBT keycaps, a profile was built. It has a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. It the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap was named. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
• Switch layouts between macOS and Windows
  Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron Q5 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
• Programmable knob
  Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software.
• Rotary encoder function of Keychron Q3 80% TKL Custom Mechanical keyboard
  You can easily customize the Q5’s knob to your desired key or macro commands such as: zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.
• Program Q5 with QMK and VIA
  With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more.
• Hot-swappable
  The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.
• South-facing RGB LED lights
  The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.
• Pre-lubed Gateron G Pro switch
  The optimized molded switch with more precise positioning and less wobble will undoubtedly improve the feel at your fingertips. With the fully assembled Q5 version fitted with factory pre-lubricated Gateron G Pro switches, a smoother travel experience is guaranteed for you.
• Special screw-in PCB stabilizers
  The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is more stable and smooth.
