Keychron Q15 Max
Introducing the Keychron Q15 Max, a full metal ortholinear wireless QMK customized mechanical keyboard that features equally sized keys and a compact gridded layout. It is designed with two programmable knobs, a split-spacebar design, and supports 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. The built-in multiple layers of acoustic foams, combined with the double-gasket design, ensuring a superior sound quality with every keystroke.
Paired with many other premium features, such as the PBT keycaps, screw-in stabilizers, and more, the Keychron Q15 Max promises an unparalleled typing journey that transcends expectations.
Ortholinear Layout Design
Ortholinear keyboards is a compact yet functional keyboard with equally sized keys that are arranged in a grid pattern. This layout can improve comfort, speed, and accuracy by reducing finger movement and strain for a faster and more efficient typing experience.
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 Q15 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 Q15 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.
XDA Dye-Sub PBT Keycaps
These PBT keycaps are sculpted in XDA profile, with uniform height for maximum layout compatibility. It features ultra durable dye-sub legends that offers a solid build and wildly satisfying feel for long-term use.
Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q15 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.
Endless possibilities for a fluid workflow thanks to its ability to remap any key, and create macro commands, shortcuts, or key combinations through the Keychron Launcher Web App.
Check out the video above demonstrating how to remap the Delete key to an Eject key with the Launcher Web App to create a shortcut to put your Mac to sleep (Command-Option-Eject).
* Please use the latest version of Chrome / Opera / Edge browser to open the Launcher and connect the keyboard to your device via wired mode.
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 Q15 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.

Customer Reviews
Keyboard works great. Turned right spacebar into backspace, added back "+=" button to main layer and replaced caps lock with tab with very usefull web browser app. Amazing product. And the RGB looks great. Only downside is that you can't 100% perfectly fit Keychron cherry profile keycaps set on this keyboard. You need to use higher profile keycaps for "Esc" and "|\", I've used "5" as a tab button and used numpad Enter, because it fit with the stabilazers size. Other than this few buttons it looks great.
RGB backlight is useless for me too.
Furthermore, it would be a LOT better without any knob, and:
- Esc instead of left knob, Tab instead of Esc
- Backspace instead of right knob, "=+" instead of Backspace
- right Shift instead of Del, "`~" instead of right Shift (but "`~" key is not provided...)
So close to being a great product!
The good parts:
1) Weight - difficult to accidentally move the keyboard
2) Win/Mac support
3) Tools included
The bad parts:
1) Rgb backlight - this feature is not needed for this type of device, but it is included in the price
2) The "=+" button from the numbers row is absent, instead of it you'll have useless right knob, the "=+" you can use by fn1/fn2(also it needs configuration). But this kind of keybords should be opposite - instead of right knob, there should be the "=+" button, and functionality of right knob can used by left knob with fn1/fn2.
3) No Tab button!!!
4) The configuration app is in browser - what if I don't have the internet?
The neutral parts:
1) There is no point in continuing to make the "space" and "enter" buttons larger than the other ones. Especially when the sizes of all other function buttons have been normalized.
