A Refined Piece of Metal Art

The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make this solid metal piece of art that is the Q3 Max.

Hot-swappable

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.

Double Gasket Design

The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the acoustic resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ARM Cortex-M4 chip (MCU) equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on 2.4 GHz and wired modes (90 Hz on Bluetooth mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

Switch layouts between macOS & Windows

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility with Windows devices, the Keychron Q3 Max comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Programmable Knob

Amazing Keyboard

After using a gaming keyboard for over a decade I finally made the switch to the Q3 Max. Such a beautiful piece of machinery, the machined aluminum and shell white really makes it look and feel premium. The heft was also very surprising, but I still found it easily portable as I take it to and from my office. 11/10 would recommend.

Premium Quality

This is my first time trying "barebones". Im just blown away by the build quality.
It is very heavy! But thats something i like about it, nothing you wanna carry around in a backpack on the train anyways.

I picked up Gateron G Pro 3.0 Brown switches with it and a set of cherry profile PBT keycaps and i'm more than happy with the product!

Outstanding Keyboard

I just received my Q3 Max and I have to say that I'm blown away with the quality. It's my first venture into the world of good keyboards, but even I can tell this is an amazing investment. I have the Red switches, and they are actually much quieter than the videos I have seen. This is a good thing for me, because I plan to use this at the office and don't want to annoy my coworkers. The light effects blew my mind. I personally love the heat map option. It is a hefty, well made product. I am not disappointed in the slightest!

I think I might like to try a more tactile switch in the future, and that's the great thing about this keyboard! I can swap them out whenever it suits me. Buy one now!
