Gateron Jupiter Red switches
The Keychron Q5 Max is equipped with Gateron Jupiter Red linear mechanical switches, which deliver a 45g actuation force, reliable performance, and smooth operation. These lubricated 3-pin switches have a lifespan of up to 80 million keystrokes, ensuring long-term durability for daily use. A special LED diffuser provides high RGB backlight transmittance, creating a softer and more uniform lighting effect.
Double-shot OSA PBT keycaps

Their special profile combines the advantages of the OEM shape with rounded edges, which reduces typos and increases typing efficiency. Double-shot PBT technology guarantees exceptional resistance to wear and grease, so the legends remain legible even after years of use, making them ideal for work, writing long texts, and gaming.
Screw-in PCB stabilisers
The Keychron Q5 Max is equipped with screw-in PCB stabilisers, which ensure a smoother and more stable press for larger keys like the spacebar, Shift, Enter, and Delete. Thanks to this design, they eliminate unwanted wobble and improve the overall typing feel. The keyboard also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilisers, allowing you to further customise it to your preferences.
South-facing RGB backlighting
The Keychron Q5 Max gaming keyboard's south-facing RGB backlighting ensures better visibility from the user's perspective and provides uniform, bright key illumination. There are more than 22 RGB backlight modes available, and you can easily adjust the hue, saturation, brightness, and effect speed to suit your style and environment.A powerful ARM processor ensures lightning-fast response and flexibility
The Keychron Q5 Max is equipped with a powerful MCU with an ARM architecture and 256KB of Flash memory, providing greater flexibility for developers and enabling advanced keyboard customisation. With a 1000Hz polling rate in 2.4GHz mode and via a wired connection, it offers an instant response with no noticeable latency, which you'll appreciate especially during competitive gaming and fast typing. This powerful hardware ensures stable performance and reliability in daily use.
The Keychron Q5 Max wireless keyboard provides up to 180 hours of battery life on a single charge
Thanks to its 4000mAh rechargeable li-polymer battery, the Keychron Q5 Max gaming keyboard offers up to 180 hours of battery life with the backlighting on and 100 hours in active RGB mode, which means long hours of uninterrupted use. You can also comfortably use the keyboard while it's charging.
Three connection options
The Keychron Q5 Max keyboard supports three connection modes, making it easy to adapt to any work environment. The 2.4GHz RF wireless connection, with its lightning-fast 1000Hz response rate, ensures instant reactions without delay, ideal for both gaming and productive work. With Bluetooth 5.1, you can connect up to three devices simultaneously and switch between them seamlessly. For maximum stability and zero latency, a wired USB-C connection is available, giving you reliable, drop-out-free performance.
Programmable knob for efficient productivity

Using the Keychron Launcher web app, you can program the knob for various actions, such as zooming in and out, adjusting screen brightness, changing volume, setting brush size, or selecting video clips and photos. It can also be used to change the RGB backlight hue or assign custom macros, making it an invaluable tool for both creative and productive work.
Web app for easy keyboard customisation
The Keychron Q5 Max keyboard features open-source QMK firmware, which gives you limitless customisation options. You can remap keys, create macros, set up shortcuts, or fine-tune the actuation points of the magnetic switches. Using the Keychron Launcher web app, you can make these adjustments simply and intuitively, without the need for complex programming. Whether you want to optimise your keyboard for work, gaming, or creative projects, QMK and Keychron Launcher give you perfect personalisation for every key.
Double gasket ensures quieter and more comfortable typing
The Keychron Q5 Max gaming keyboard uses a double-gasket design that delivers a better sound profile and smoother typing. Silicone pads between the top and bottom cases reduce acoustic resonance while maintaining the natural flexibility of the keyboard. Additionally, an acoustic pad at the bottom improves the overall sound quality of keystrokes. For users who prefer more flexibility when typing, this pad can be easily removed, allowing for even finer customisation of the keyboard experience.
Significantly improved acoustic foams for quiet and comfortable typing
The Keychron Q5 Max uses premium IXPE, PET, and Latex acoustic foams that effectively dampen key sounds and ensure a softer, more pleasant typing response. This advanced combination of materials makes every keystroke smoother and quieter, creating a comfortable and seamless experience whether you're writing, programming, or gaming.
Premium all-aluminium body combines elegance and durability
The Keychron Q5 Max keyboard is crafted from 6063 aluminium, a material that provides maximum durability, stability and a premium feel with every keystroke. This solid metal body protects the keyboard from physical wear and tear while adding an elegant look. 6063 aluminium is highly resistant to damage. This combination ensures both aesthetic appeal and long-lasting durability, making the Q5 Max not only a high-performance keyboard but also a visually impressive one.
The Keychron Q5 Max is fully compatible with macOS and Windows
The Keychron Q5 Max is equipped with a system switch that lets you quickly alternate between macOS and Windows modes, and it also includes two sets of keycaps designed specifically for both operating systems. This lets you save two different layout configurations and easily switch between them, which you'll appreciate when working or gaming on different devices.
