Product details
Keychron Q14 Max Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard
Southpaw Alice Layout • Full Aluminum • QMK/VIA • Tri-Mode Wireless
There's a fundamental shift coming to your desk—and it's bringing a new level of efficiency. Meet the Keychron Q14 Max: a full-metal, wireless custom keyboard built from CNC-machined 6063 aluminum. It combines an ergonomic Alice layout with a southpaw numpad, placing your number cluster on the left to completely free up your mouse hand.
The Feel of Substance
The first thing you'll notice about the Q14 Max is its sheer substance. This board features a rock-solid aluminum case weighing over 5 pounds—no hollow plastic, no rattling, no sliding as you type.
Built from a solid block of CNC-machined 6063 aluminum, it provides unmatched stability and a premium feel that anchors your workspace.
The double-gasket mount design with silicone pads isolates the PC plate, dampening vibrations and creating a softer, more flexible typing experience on every keystroke.
A Sound Profile Built for Focus
The Q14 Max is engineered not just for feel, but for sound. Inside its aluminum frame, multiple layers of acoustic foam—including IXPE switch pads, PET film, and latex bottom foam—work together to absorb unwanted noise.
The result is a clean, focused sound profile often described as "thocky"—turning every keystroke into a quiet confirmation of your work, not a distraction.
Combined with the double-gasket mount system, metal resonance is eliminated for a refined acoustic experience.
Southpaw 96% Alice Layout
For years, right-handed users have performed an awkward dance, moving their hand from the mouse to the numpad and back again. The Q14 Max proposes a better way.
An ergonomic split Alice layout with a left-sided numpad frees up valuable desk space for your mouse and allows for simultaneous mouse and numpad use.
The split layout aligns with the natural angle of your wrists, reducing strain during long typing sessions while maintaining full functionality.

Customization from Firmware to Switches
The Q14 Max runs on QMK/VIA open-source firmware, giving you complete control to remap keys and create macros through the Keychron Launcher web app.
The hot-swappable circuit board supports nearly all 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches, so you can experiment with different tactile bumps or linear smoothness without soldering.
The fully assembled version comes equipped with Gateron Jupiter switches, pre-lubed from the factory for a smooth feel right out of the box.
KSA Profile PBT Keycaps
The keyboard comes with premium KSA profile keycaps made from durable, oil-resistant PBT plastic with dye-sublimated legends.
The KSA profile offers a comfortable, sculpted feel that's perfectly suited for the Alice layout's unique ergonomics.
Includes extra keycaps for both macOS and Windows layouts, ensuring seamless compatibility right out of the box.

Common Questions
What is the main benefit of a southpaw numpad?
For right-handed mouse users, placing the numpad on the left allows you to input numbers or execute macros without taking your hand off the mouse. This creates a more efficient workflow for data entry, design work, and gaming. It also brings your hands closer together for a more natural ergonomic posture.
Is an Alice layout difficult to learn?
Most users adapt to the split and angled key clusters within a few days. The layout is designed to align with the natural angle of your wrists, which can reduce strain during long typing sessions. The extra 'B' key and split spacebars are the main adjustments.
Can I use my own switches and keycaps?
Yes. The hot-swappable PCB is compatible with most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches. While most standard keycap sets will fit the alphanumeric keys, you will need a set that specifically supports the Alice layout's unique requirements, such as two 'B' keys and the 2.25U/2.75U spacebars.
Does this keyboard work with both Mac and Windows?
Absolutely. The Q14 Max has a system toggle switch on the back and comes with extra keycaps for both macOS and Windows layouts, ensuring seamless compatibility right out of the box.
