KEYCHRON Q5 Knob Version - Barebone Kit
Setting the best example for efficient space usage, the Q5 has a compact 96% layout design while retaining all the essential functions and number keys. With its full metal CNC machined body, double-gasket design, and QMK/VIA support, the Q5 is the ultimate choice for an almost full-size keyboard.
HOT-SWAPPABLE
- The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports 5 pin MX mechanical switches.
GASKET-MOUNTED DESIGN MAKES TYPING MORE FLEXIBLE
- The gasket design provides the board with a nice, flexible typing feel and a satisfying typing sound.
ALL NEW GATERON SCREW-IN PCB STABLIZERS
- The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easy for changes and upgrades. More precise craftsmanship makes the silver-plated stabilizers more stable and less wobbly. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is more stable and smooth.
- Keychron Q5 also support third-party stabilizers including Cherry or Durock.
PROGRAM Q5 WITH QMK & VIA
- With full QMK and VIA support, you can program and remap each key on the keyboard with ease. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more.
- VIA is a keyboard keymap programming software. Using VIA, you can define every key and even write MACROS for the key combinations you want on your Q5. VIA supports macOS, Windows & Linux.
SWITCH LAYOUTS BETWEEN MACOS & WINDOWS
- Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, Keychron Q5 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You will be able to save two different layouts in the keyboard, one for each system.
SOUTH-FACING RGB LED LIGHTS
- The south-facing RGB SMD LED lights are easy to be seen because they are facing toward the typer. It’s also good for the PBT, Cherry profile, and non-shine-through keycaps which are popular for customized keycaps.
