          Installed with an optimal magnetic sensor with a sensitivity of only 0.1 mm, it offers more precious feedback. You can customize actuation points and assign multiple actions to a single key based on the travel depth you personalized, enhancing gameplay and providing a customized typing sensation.

          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.

          Dynamic Rapid Trigger

          Activate or deactivate keys based on travel distance rather than fixed points. They activate precisely upon pressing and deactivate upon letting go, allowing for immediate repetition of keystrokes in mod-motion. This enables you to execute a chain of actions in quick succession during gameplay.

          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.

These qualities ensure both aesthetic appeal and a commitment to sustainability.

          Double-Gasket Design

          Silicone pads between the top and bottom cases reduce acoustic resonance, maintaining gasket flexibility and enhancing typing sound. The keyboard's bottom features acoustic foam, PET film, and Latex, improving sound quality while providing a more comfortable typing experience.

          An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

          Suitable for All Devices

          Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q5 HE 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.

          OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

          It has a similar height to that of the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

          Hot-swappable

          Unlike mechanical switches, which depend on physical contact, Hall Effect magnetic switches use magnets to detect key presses. It is effortless to swap out the switch with compatible Hall Effect magnetic switches.

          *The Q5 HE is compatible with the magnetic switches sold on the Keychron website only.

          South-facing RGB LED Lights

          The south-facing RGB 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 user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.

          Stabilizers of Keychron Q5 HE Wireless QMK Custom Magnetic Switch 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 wobbly. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, and backspace) typing experience is now more stable and smooth.
