Q5 Max

half-kidding, but they were great. I've had a few mechnaical keyboards that were able to mimick that same action, but i have a $200+ Keychron Q5 Max, that I've ripped the switches and keycaps out of six separate times, but still can't find something I like. Maybe i'm crazy.

... A 20% reduction in weight is more than "slightly lighter"... 🤷 This thing at 1.66kg/3.6lbs is RIDICULOUSLY light for having a 98% layout fully CNC machine aluminum housing. (Ofc it's still a heavy keyboard, but for the construction style it's breaking new ground in terms of weight). It's SIGNIFI

Replied above higher tier board as pro and max came with "better" switch, so switch are up to anyone preference, for example when i bought my second q5 max(first came doa still dealing with the Shop i got it, and keychron dont offer any help other than asking me to pay for pcb - which i did pay for

Untangled: I just got a Keychron Q5 Max. No matter what, I get double pressing on several keys, notably space and "e". I tried a firmware update via Keychron Launcher and added to the debounce delay, but without any luck. I also tried changing to different switches. I’m returning mine today.

Re "most of the keyboards in ... Q Max series are still missing": OK, the Q Max series and K Max series got more representatives in mid April 2026: K Max series: K2 Max K3 Max K4 Max K5 Max K8 Max K9 Max K10 Max K13 Max K15 Max Q Max series: Q0 Max Q1 Max Q2 Max Q3 Max Q5 Max Q6 Max Q8 Max Q10 Max Q
