Our Verdict

Keychron Q Pro Series [Q1 Pro, Q2 Pro, etc.]

Keychron V5 Max [V1 Max, V2 Max, etc.]

The Keychron V5 Max and the Keychron Q5 Pro are wireless mechanical keyboards with compact (96%) layouts. Each keyboard also belongs to a wider respective V Max and Q Pro series with other size variants available. The biggest difference between these lineups is that the Q Pro series has a comparatively more premium feel with all-aluminum cases. The V Max series keyboards are more budget-oriented, with plastic-only cases. However, they have expanded connectivity options with a 2.4 GHz receiver in addition to Bluetooth.
