- Is the Q5 Pro worth it at $159.99?
- Yes, if you want a full-size aluminum board with hot-swap switches and QMK/VIA. At $159.99 at Keychron.com as of November 6, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent price range.
- Does it work with both Mac and Windows?
- Yes. It ships with Mac and Windows keycaps and has a physical switch to toggle between the two layouts. Linux works too through standard USB and Bluetooth.
- Can I change the switches without soldering?
- Yes. The hot-swap PCB accepts 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches, so you can pull and replace them by hand.
- How long does the battery last?
- Keychron rates it at up to about 100 hours with the backlight off and much less with it on. Heavy RGB use means charging more often over USB-C.
- What is in the box?
- The keyboard, USB-C cable, keycap and switch puller, a screwdriver, extra screws and stabilizer pads, and Mac and Windows keycaps. Switches and keycaps depend on the version you order.
- Is this the ISO or ANSI layout?
- This listing is the ISO layout, with a tall Enter key and the extra keys used in the UK and Europe. Check the listing name before ordering if you need ANSI.
