I love how there keyboards can look retro but be totally in the future at the same time. Also, light without sacrificing that premium feeling.

I got the Q5 Max the white/grey version which looks a lot like this except the ESC and Enter keys are green rather than red. It is my first custom board as all my other boards are mainstream brands from Razer, Corsair, Asus etc. The solidity and heft of the Q5 Max truly puts it a cut above the rest of my other keyboards. Keychron has the most immaculate packaging and accessories which gave a truly unique unboxing experience prior to even touching and using the keyboard.

Thank you for this review! I have a Q1 Pro and was thinking of getting this for my sister but couldn't find any reviews! I didn't like these caps either but my wife as the K8 Pro and loves them. Trying to decide between this an the K10 Pro. She likes clicky and I have some extra Glorious Raptors but would probably get the banana to use in a later build as I have the ones I pulled from my Q1 Pro, I'm using WS Morandi in it now.

It is absolutely fantastic to finally see someone reviewing this keyboard. I purchased one myself and am as delighted with it as you appear to be . I purchased a k4 v2 on the back of your original review, and I still have it. It makes a great travel keyboard for work, etc . Finally, and apologies if you have heard this before as I've been dying to ask, but you must know that you look like Andrew Garfield , the actor . Anyway, there I've said it, lol . Thanks for the fantastic review. Please keep doing them. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch.

Thanks for the kind words! Glad the videos have been both helpful and enjoyable to watch & that you're enjoying the keyboard. Also, I'll take that compliment for Andrew Garfield haha, he's a great looking dude.

Great to see somebody finally checkign out this keyboard. Have you had any thoughts of upgrading it with Keychron's gold plated stabilizers, acoustic upgrade kit, or brass plate? Great video!

@nloop 8 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! I haven't really thought about upgrading with stabs or new plates because I'm superbly satisfied with the quality right out of the gate. I don't think it needs further tweaking!

i really love and have been looking for a layout like this, but this is kinda expensive for me. do you know any alternatives that features the same layout? i know there's keebmonkey 1800 with 2 less keys, but is there any more like this? thanks for the review, btw!

@njames6002 7 ай бұрын

Keychron make the K4 and K4 Pro which are a similar layout at a lower price point.

What color switches are the quietest? TY!

@shopafelic 8 ай бұрын

It was hard to tell from the video but did your keys have little jagged edges like it was a DIY cutout from a plastic mould (think: plastic model kits)? Got my Q5 Pro late July but most of the keycaps I received were like that and the Keychron team hasn't been able to provide a solution after almost 3 months here man... seeing what other KZfaqr experiences are (also had black scuff marks on some keys and keyboard was missing a screw underside).

Mine did not, sorry you had manufacturing defects, hopefully they let you replace it.

When I first read banana switches i thought, they gonna be amazing. but they sound very "light" and "metallic" not sure how to describe it, but it lacks the THOCK

does it not come with windows keys? (Alt & Windows key)?

@SenorBezi 4 ай бұрын

It does. For whatever reason, it comes stock with the Mac keys installed, but in the box are the windows keys. They keyboard has a switch on the top edge to switch from mac to windows.

Good review. However the statement that because it is 96% you can have your mouse within reach is so much bullshite I don't even know where to begin. This applies only to that guy from scary movie who was stuffing turkey with his funny hand. Rest of the world can have one hand on wsad and the other on the mouse without any issues whatsoever on 100% boards.

@novak_sm 4 ай бұрын

Also, 96% keyboards in length only cut out the numpad's enter key and the period (.) column. I don't think it's significantly smaller.

@kamael1125 4 ай бұрын

There's more to it to be fair. 100% ones have pgup/ home / group of keys taking 3 columns of keys. Comparing mine 96% vs 100% I would say it is...3 key columns shorter more or less. But in terms of reach improvement...It doesn't blow your mind and suddenly make you able to do stuff in game you could not do before lol@@novak_sm

What is the difference between pro and max?

@artyboy1377 7 күн бұрын

If I am not wrong, the Pro only has Bluetooth while the Max has both Bluetooth and 2.5Ghz.

after using this board now for over 3 months I have one issue with it. And it's quite big one considering the price point. Spacebar is getting uneven after a typing session. I use my left thumb to press it and it is sagging on the left side while right side is getting elevated. It got to the point where I can push on the left edge with not much of a force and make the space completly lift of the stabilizer on the right side. I made a complaint to Keychron over the weekend and waiting for their reply. After digging around the internet, this seems to be repeatable offence by Keychron. Apparently poor quality control of the keycaps.

There's s MASSIVE FLAW of the keyboard. The Backlight is USELESSS. The characters don't lit because it's not transparent. Whoever thought of that DUMB idea? You won't see the characters in shaded or dark conditions. Funny no one talks about this.
