Remap with QMK & VIA

QMK / VIA is open-source software for keyboards that allows anyone to easily program and remap each key or macro (incl. the knob) on macOS, Windows, or Linux. *Note: User can remap a key on wired mode only. Once it’s done, the keymap will work on both wireless and wired modes. Please download the keymap file (guide in the manual) to use VIA as the code is still not yet auto-recognized.

South-Facing RGB Backlit

The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.

Comes with 22 types of RGB backlight settings. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed, and different modes, or even remap these keys with QMK/VIA.

Keychron K Pro Mechanical Switch

By optimizing the switch mold, the Q5 Pro switch wobbles less than the standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed K Pro switches will ensure the best fingertip smoothness.

PCB Stabilizers​

We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as the space bar, shift, enter, and delete keys. You can even customize your favorite stabilizers on your own.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 chip (MCU) equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on type-c wired mode (90 Hz on wireless mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

N-Key Rollover

NKRO greatly improves operational efficiency, especially when playing games on wireless/wired mode.

Up to 100 Hours

The Q5 Pro offers up to 100 hours (at lowest brightness) steady and stable wireless typing performance and up to 300 hours with backlit off.

KSA Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

We designed our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.
