  • Our take on the Keychron Q5 HE

    The Keychron Q5 HE is a wired, full-size-layout mechanical keyboard built around Hall-effect magnetic switches. Those switches let you set the actuation point per key and add rapid trigger, which is the feature competitive gamers care about. It is a heavy aluminum board with RGB backlighting and a USB connection only. It suits gamers who want adjustable, fast-response keys and typists who like a solid, full-size board, but it is not for anyone who needs wireless or a compact footprint.

    What reviewers say

    Owners of Keychron's Hall-effect boards generally praise the build quality and the adjustable, rapid-trigger keys, and many say typing feels good once tuned. The common complaints are the wired-only connection and the size and weight of the full-size case.

    Questions and answers

    What makes the Q5 HE different from a standard mechanical keyboard?
    It uses Hall-effect magnetic switches instead of contact switches. That lets you set how far each key must travel before it registers and enables rapid trigger for faster resets.
    Can I change the actuation point per key?
    Yes. The magnetic switches support per-key actuation adjustment through Keychron's software, so you can tune gaming keys differently from typing keys.
    Does it work with both Windows and Mac?
    Yes. It is designed for both, with Mac and Windows keycaps and layout support, and it connects over USB.
    Is it good for typing as well as gaming?
    Yes, if you like a full-size board. The key feel is smooth and consistent, though magnetic switches feel lighter and less tactile than many standard mechanical switches.
    Does it have a numpad?
    Yes. It uses a full-size layout with a numpad and a function row, which is why the case is large and heavy.
    Can I use it wirelessly?
    No. It connects by USB cable only, with no Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz option.
    Where is the Keychron Q5 HE cheapest?
    At Walmart, for $249.99, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Keychron Q5 HE?
