Keychron Q15 Max: The Ortholinear Grid, Mastered Full Aluminum • QMK/VIA • Tri-Mode Wireless • Ortholinear Layout A grid, not a stagger. Every key aligned. A layout built for pure efficiency. Introducing the Keychron Q15 Max: the ortholinear keyboard that brings a full suite of enthusiast features to this unique, efficient layout. Constructed from a solid block of 6063 aluminum and engineered with a double-gasket design, this compact standout comes equipped with a long list of endgame components. PREMIUM BUILD A Foundation of Solid Metal The first thing you'll notice about the Q15 Max is its weight. This board is crafted from a single piece of 6063 aluminum for maximum stability—no hollow plastic, no shifting on your desk. The entire case is CNC machined, polished, and sandblasted through more than 24 manufacturing stages to achieve its final form. A polycarbonate plate and double-gasket mount deliver a cushioned, responsive feel on every actuation. ACOUSTIC ENGINEERING 15-Layer Acoustic System Inside, a complex 15-layer system of acoustic foams—including IXPE, PET, and Latex—absorbs unwanted pings and refines the sound profile. The result? A deep, satisfying sound that turns every keystroke into a premium typing experience. Combined with the double-gasket mount system, the Q15 Max delivers both acoustic excellence and a cushioned feel that high-end keyboards are known for. FULL CUSTOMIZATION Make It Yours The Q15 Max is designed to adapt to your exact preferences. Hot-swappable sockets accept nearly any 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switch—no soldering required. Remap any key, create complex macros, and add extra layers of functionality through VIA or Keychron Launcher web app. The two programmable knobs can be assigned to anything from volume control and screen brightness to timeline scrubbing in your editing software. TRI-MODE WIRELESS Wireless Freedom, No Compromises With the Q15 Max, that compromise is over. Full QMK and VIA support across all connectivity modes. At its heart is an ARM Cortex-M4 processor that provides flawless performance across all three connectivity modes: USB-C Wired 1000 Hz polling rate for zero latency Bluetooth 5.1 Connect up to 3 devices seamlessly 2.4 GHz Wireless 1000 Hz polling for competitive gaming All while retaining complete control through QMK and VIA PREMIUM SWITCHES Gateron Jupiter Switches The fully assembled version comes equipped with Gateron Jupiter switches, pre-lubed from the factory for a smooth feel right out of the box. A unique LED diffuser design allows the south-facing RGBs to shine brightly, creating stunning per-key lighting effects. With a lifespan of up to 80 million keystrokes, they're built to last through years of intensive typing. PREMIUM KEYCAPS XDA PBT Keycaps Topping it all off is a set of XDA profile keycaps. Made from durable, oil-resistant PBT plastic with dye-sublimated legends. Their uniform height is a perfect match for the ortholinear grid, making it easy to rearrange keys without disrupting the look or feel. For the larger keys, screw-in PCB stabilizers create a more stable and consistent typing experience, reducing rattle and wobble.
