I\u2019ve spent the<\/span> last few weeks with the Keychron Q5 Pro and Q6 Pro mechanical keyboards, and I think they’re some of the best bang-for-your-buck full-size keyboards<\/a> you can get today. The Q6 Pro is a traditional full-size keyboard layout with a NumPad and navigation keys, while the Q5 Pro is a slightly more compact 1800-style layout.<\/p>\n

Both of them are gasket-mounted, with thick aluminum cases and a knob in the top right corner. You can buy either model with Keychron\u2019s red linear switches, brown tactile switches, or banana tactile switches, and they include hot-swap sockets, RGB lighting, and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity by default. If you don’t mind a cord, you can also connect them via USB-C. (Read my guide, How to Shop for a Mechanical Keyboard<\/a>, if you want to learn more about some of these terms!)<\/p>\n

Why a Full-Size Layout?<\/h2>\n

Anyone who wants a full-size keyboard layout already knows they want it. In my experience, it\u2019s something you\u2019re already acclimated to, not something you\u2019re going to switch to on a whim. These things are huge and can have a dedicated key for everything, especially if you take advantage of the ability to reprogram keys.<\/p>\n
