What it is?
Keychron Q2 Max
Introducing the Keychron Q2 Max, a full metal QMK wireless customized mechanical keyboard with a 65% layout and support for 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and Type-C wired connections. Compact enough for any space. The built-in multiple layers of acoustic foams, combined with the double-gasket design, enable you to experience unparalleled keystrokes while giving a pleasant typing sound.
Key Benefits
- 2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection: Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the Q2 Max via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.
- 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 Q2 Max.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. Experience the next level of key sounds and comfort with our gasket mount design together with a flexible PC (Polycarbonate) plate. This design combination allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.
- KSA Double-Shot PBT Keycaps: To further fine-tune your typing experience, 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.
- Suitable for All Devices: Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q2 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.
- 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.
- Hot-Swappable: Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the Q2 Max with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. You can customize your own typing experience in seconds.
South-Facing RGB:
- 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 Keychron Launcher web app.
- 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. The banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.
- PCB Stabilizers: No detail is too insignificant when it comes to your fingertip feel. 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.
