Featuring a 100% compact full-size layout, the Q5 Max ensures you have access to all function keys, a number pad, and dedicated controls while still delivering an optimized footprint for your desk setup. With QMK/VIA programmability, every key can be customized to match your workflow, whether you’re coding, gaming, or working across multiple platforms.


Crafted with a robust aluminium body and a double-gasket design enhanced with sound-absorbing foam, the Q5 Max offers a soft yet responsive typing experience. The hot-swappable Gateron Banana switches ensure smooth, tactile keystrokes while allowing switch replacement without soldering. Paired with KSA double-shot PBT keycaps, the keyboard guarantees long-lasting durability, enhanced grip, and resistance against shine or fading. The south-facing RGB backlighting delivers vivid illumination, perfect for showcasing your setup with custom effects.


Connectivity is seamless with triple-mode support, including 2.4GHz wireless with a 1000Hz polling rate, Bluetooth 5.1 with up to 3 device pairing, and USB Type-C wired mode for ultra-fast responsiveness. Its 4000mAh rechargeable battery ensures up to 180 hours of use with backlighting off or 100 hours with RGB at the lowest brightness, keeping you productive and immersed without interruptions. Whether you’re on macOS, Windows, or Linux, the Q5 Max guarantees cross-platform compatibility with smooth switching between systems.


Powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32F402 microcontroller, the Q5 Max ensures exceptional performance, stability, and customization.
