Double-Shot PBT Keycaps
The double-shot PBT keycaps of the Q3 Max provide excellent oil resistance and prevent the legends from fading out. Additionally, the keyboard offers two different keycap options to meet varying preferences and needs.
KSA Keycaps
Adopting an ergonomic design and classic appearance, it's ideal for standard typing situations.
OSA Side-Printed Shine-Through Keycaps
Less distracting during use and provides a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.
Significantly Enhanced Acoustic Foams
Elevate the typing experience with a combination of premium acoustic foams such as IXPE, PET, and Latex. Each keystroke becomes enjoyable, making every tap a delight for the senses.
Easy Assemble
We designed every component to be able to assemble easily so you can customise and adjust each component with ease to create your ultimate typing experience.
2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection
Discover enhanced performance with the Q3 Max Keyboard, featuring a 2.4 GHz wireless connection and a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate for responsive use. It also offers Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, allowing easy and efficient multitasking by connecting with up to three devices, such as your computer, phone, and tablet, with quick switching capability.
A Refined Piece of Metal Art
The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminium 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 customised keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
Programmable Knob
Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the aluminium rotary encoder allows you to easily customise your favourite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software.
You can easily customise the Q3 Max's knob to your desired key or macro commands such as: zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.
- Setting the macros for "zoom in/out"
- Using the knob as "zoom in/out"
Program Q3 Max with QMK & VIA
With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more.
South-Facing RGB LED Lights
The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.
Gateron Jupiter Switch
Our exclusive Gateron Jupiter mechanical switch (for the Fully Assembled version only) comes with a 3-pin design, its pre-lubed with a reliable Gateron quality standard with up to 80 million keystrokes lifespan. While their unique LED diffuser design offers high RGB backlight transmittance and softer backlight effect.
All New Screw-in PCB Stabilisers
The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilisers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, backspace) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q3 Max also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilisers.
Backed by a 1 year Keychron warranty.
