Refined Metal Art

The entire piece metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make a solid metal art on the desk that is the Q3.

All-Around Customizable Keyboard

To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want.

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 sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

Programmable Knob

Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software.

You can easily customize the Q3's knob to your desired key or macro commands such as: zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.

Using the knob as "zoom in/out"

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

For the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to 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.

You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

* 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.

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights.

The south-facing RGB LED 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 users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Note: The Q3's top case has sharper corners to make it much more compatible with third-party keycaps.

Fantastic Keyboard

I rarely provide feedback on purchases like this but this Q3 is the exception as it far exceeded my expectations. This is my first mechanical keyboard though as I have used Apples keyboards ever since the mid 80’s. I decided to try a mechanical keyboard and ordered the Q3 in black with a rotary encoder. The day after I got it, my son tried it and liked it as much as I did and I ordered him one - he says that it was a game changer for him also. Then his wife wanted one and I ordered her the blue one (much nicer looking in real life then even the photos). All three keyboards have had zero issues and are a joy to use. All of you at Keychron who make/design these - you should be proud of your work - these keyboards are well worth their cost. Thank you for creating this product.

almost perfect

My first "custom" keyboard. Feels very nice, I like build quality, I like that it is made of metal. Great typing experience with browns. With thin silicone o-rings key travel is nice and smooth. Very nice sound - slightly high-pitched, with some reverb though (should be easy to eliminate with some extra foam). Stabilizers are pretty good, zero rattle out of the box. I like keycaps profile, I like general feel of this keyboard. It is heavy and robust. For cons - no capslock light (why not at least light that single light that's underneath?); useless RGB which is basically covered by keycaps. Also the knob - seems like it's great at first but after a while you don' really use it. Bought silver/yellow version and still not sure if I like it over black one lol. Let's see how it compares to K8pro (should arrive soon), which seems "cheaper" version of Q3 but still offers more - it is wireless. Anyway, great keyboard which got me into customs.

A really good keyboard

I'm kinda obsessed with keyboards and over the years I've used (and am still using some of these): Apple Wireless Keyboards (with and without touch id), Das Keyboard 4 Professional, Keychron K1 and K8, Filco, CoolerMaster. Overall I like this one the best, it just feels right to type on this thing and I can't get tired of it.

The only thing I wish to have on this keyboard is adjustable angle, otherwise it's perfect for me (I prefer TKL keyboards btw).

A responsive, immensely satisfying board

Tried out a couple keyboards now, absolutely in love with this one. The solidity of the construction along with the feel of the gasket action is great. Super easy to customize, I ordered barebones and set it up with Kailh burgundy switches, got it done in an evening and it works like a dream. Some folks didn’t like the knob placement, I’m unfussed by such things. Overall a real step up for me in quality and performance in mechanical keyboards.
