What it is?
The Q3 Max Keyboard, featuring an 80% TKL layout, combines advanced 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth, and Type-C wired connectivity, enhances workspaces by reducing clutter and facilitating efficient remote work. Its upgraded acoustic foam not only ensures quieter typing but also elevates the tactile experience, making each keystroke smoother and more refined.
Key Benefits
- 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 customize 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 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: Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the aluminum rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the Keychron Launcher web app.
- Program with QMK & Launcher.: The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app
- 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.
- All New Screw-in PCB Stabilizers: The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers 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 stabilizers.
