Keychron, a leading designer and manufacturer of productivity peripherals, today launched its latest keyboard, the Q5 HE. It’s a three-mode magnetic axis keyboard with multi-mode connectivity and extensive customization features. Let’s get into the details here.
Specifications
The Q5 HE offers a three-mode connection system, allowing users to switch seamlessly between 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired connections.
At the core of the keyboard lies Keychron’s self-developed magnetic axis solution, designed to improve key stability and trigger accuracy. This approach reportedly surpasses traditional mechanical keyboards by offering a response time (RT) of 0.1mm.
Additionally, the Q5 HE allows users to set up to four distinct trigger points within a single key’s travel range. This means pressing the key to a specific depth can trigger a particular command.
For wireless users, the Q5 HE boasts a custom-developed wireless solution with a claimed latency of just 3ms, aiming to provide a near-wired experience. The keyboard utilizes Gateron’s custom Nebula magnetic axis switches with a dual-track design to further enhance stability and minimize key wobble.
Customization doesn’t stop at the hardware level. The Q5 HE comes equipped with a self-developed web driver that enables users to fine-tune various aspects of the keyboard’s functionality.
These adjustments include setting magnetic axis key travel, configuring quick triggers, and even simulating joystick controls. Notably, the web driver eliminates the need for manual driver downloads and installations for real-time online firmware updates.
The Q5 HE’s build prioritizes both aesthetics and sound dampening. The keyboard features a 6063 aluminum body – anodized in black and powder-coated in white for the respective color options. This structure is further complemented by a gasket design and a noise-reducing cotton layer, aiming to minimize unwanted typing noise.
While Keychron has revealed the impressive features of the Q5 HE, details regarding pricing and availability remain undisclosed.
