- The Q4 is a mini custom all-metal keyboard ideal for a variety of situations and will upgrade your typing experience. With full aluminum CNC machined body, double-gasket design, and QMK/VIA support, the Q4 is the ultimate choice for the mini keyboard.
- With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, and more.
- You can hot-swap the Keychron Q4 with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. while the pre-installed Gateron G Pro mechanical clicky Blue switch providing unrivaled tactile responsiveness with up to 50 million keystroke lifespan. The PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizer for “big keys” such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete are designed for less wobbliness.
- 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.
- 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.

All-Around Customizable Keyboard
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be easily assembled, including keycaps, switches, gasket, plate, and case foam if you want.
Double-shot PBT KeycapsOur new double-shot PBT keycaps comes with an OSA profile similar height to the OEM and has an SA-like shape. It provides excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out. And 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. | Hot-swappableThe 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. The optimized molded Gateron G Pro switch with more precise positioning and less wobble will undoubtedly improve the feel at your fingertips. | All New Screw-in PCB StabilizerThe screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q4 also supports third-party stabilizers, including Cherry or Durock. |
Program Q4 with QMK & VIA
QMK/VIA literally means endless possibilities for a fluid workflow. Simply connect the Q4 to your device with a cable, import the Q4 keymap JSON file into the VIA software, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on macOS, Windows, or Linux operating systems, e.g.: create a macro command of a screenshot on macOS. Check our user guide or user manual for more instructions.
To get started, please follow the steps: download the appropriate keymap JSON file below, open VIA, turn on "Show Design tab" on "Settings" tab, and drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on VIA to get the Q4 keymap working on VIA. Since the VIA code for the Q4 is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized, you will need to manually download and enter the Q4 keymap.
