About this product

Meet the Q5 HE, a 96% layout wireless QMK custom keyboard equipped with Hall Effect Gateron double-rail magnetic switches. These switches provide a distinct advantage due to their unique mechanism, offering faster feedback, dynamic rapid triggering, and adjustable actuation points, resulting in epic enhancements for the gaming experience tailored to your individual preferences.

Features

  • Double-Rail Switches

    With the first invented dual-rail structure, and the special pre-lubed, these switches ensure unparalleled stability and smoothness like never before.

  • Adjustable Actuation Point

    Customize each key with ultra-precise 0.1 mm sensitivity and adjustable actuation points ranging from 0.2 to 3.8 mm. Setting the actuation point to 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm shortens the trigger and increases sensitivity. The reset occurs once you release the key, ensuring a faster response.

  • A Piece Of Metal Art

    The entire metal body is crafted from 6063 aluminum, a material known for its increased durability, stability, and premium feel. Not only is this aluminum more resistant to physical damage, wear, and tear, but it is also environmentally friendly and recyclable. These qualities ensure both aesthetic appeal and a commitment to sustainability.

  • Multiple Actions, One Keystroke

    Assign four actions to a single key based on the depth of your press. For example, lightly press a key to walk forward in a game, and press deeper to run. Additionally, releasing the key also supports two-stage settings. This allows for smoother, personalized combinations that can give you an edge in competitive gaming.

  • 2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection

    Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the Q5 HE's 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 Q5 HE via Bluetooth 5.2 to three devices.

    In love with this board

    If you’re into custom boards but don’t want to build from scratch, the Keychron Q5 HE mechanical keyboard hits a really satisfying middle ground. The build quality is exactly what you’d expect from Keychron’s Q-series—solid aluminum, zero flex, and a premium feel that holds up to daily abuse. What really stands out is the sound profile. This board delivers that deep, “thocky” acoustic character enthusiasts chase, without needing a ton of mods out of the box. It’s tuned well, and the typing experience feels consistent and deliberate. I also appreciate how easy Keychron makes it to personalize. Being able to grab additional keycap sets directly from them is underrated—I ended up swapping in a red ESC and Enter key, and it adds just the right amount of visual punch without going overboard. Between the typing feel, sound, and customization options, this is a 5-star board for anyone who wants enthusiast-level quality without the full DIY rabbit hole.
