Keychron has expanded its Q Max series of mechanical keyboards with the overseas release of the Q15 Max. This keyboard, tailored for enthusiasts of the Ortholinear layout where keys are arranged in a grid, starts at US$189 (approximately 1,375 Yuan).
The Q15 Max seamlessly integrates into Keychron’s established Q Max series, also referred to as the “Aluminum Tuotuo” series. This series already includes various layouts, such as the Q0, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6, Q8, Q10, Q12, Q60, and Q65 Max.

The south-facing RGB lighting provides vibrant underglow effects, and two programmable multimedia knobs enhance its functionality.
