Keychron Q9 QMK Fully Assembled Black Gateron G Pro Red Switches (Knob Version)

The Keychron Q9 is the ultimate tool for minimalists and enthusiasts who demand efficiency. As a 40% ultra-compact mechanical keyboard, it removes the number row and extra function keys to provide a tiny footprint that maximizes desk space and portability. Despite its small size, it makes no compromises on build quality, featuring a full CNC-machined 6063 aluminum body and a double-gasket mount design for a premium, cushioned typing feel.

This Fully Assembled version comes ready to use out of the box in the Carbon Black colorway. It is equipped with Gateron G Pro Red linear switches, which offer a smooth, quiet, and lightweight typing experience perfect for rapid inputs. The keycaps are double-shot PBT in the unique OSA profile (OEM height with spherical shape), ensuring durability and excellent fingertip comfort. With full QMK/VIA support, you can easily program the layers needed to access numbers and symbols on this compact layout.

Key Features

• 40% Ultra-Compact Layout: A unique mini layout that brings the mouse closer to your hands. It reduces arm extension and improves ergonomics for long working sessions.

• Premium CNC Aluminum Body: The entire case is machined from 6063 aluminum, polished, anodized, and sandblasted to create a heavy, solid piece of metal art.

• Double Gasket Design: Silicone gaskets are placed between the top and bottom cases, and on the plate itself. This reduces metal-to-metal contact and significantly reduces sound resonance.

• Gateron G Pro Red Switches: Pre-installed linear switches with a 45gf operating force. They are pre-lubed from the factory for a smooth travel free of scratchiness.

• QMK & VIA Support: Essential for a 40% keyboard. You can remap every key and create complex layers to access numbers, function keys, and media controls effortlessly.

• OSA PBT Keycaps: Features Keychron's OSA profile keycaps (high spherical angle) made from durable double-shot PBT that will not shine or fade over time.

• Programmable Rotary Knob: A premium metal encoder designed to enhance your workflow. It allows for easy control of volume, zooming, or brush size.

• South-Facing RGB: The RGB lights are positioned towards the user to better illuminate the keyboard backlight.
