Keychron Q5 Pro/Q5 MAX POM Plate

Quality good. Solution approach with supplied screws, nuts and spacers not so good.

Installation was a bit tricky due to the very small threaded spacers and the associated screws and nuts, but after a short time it was no problem. I can't say anything negative about the quality of the plate and the foam parts I ordered. However, the solution with the spacers to be mounted separately is a bad choice in my opinion compared to the welded-in threads of the original plate. Expecially in the lower area of the space bar and between the tabulator and Caps-Lock keycaps. Due to the height added by the nut for fastening the threaded spacers and possibly even higher threads of the supplied screws, the keycaps “hit” the aforementioned nuts or the protruding threads of the screws, which naturally has a considerable negative effect on the sound of the keycaps and switches used. In addition, it can happen that the keycap gets “stuck” with its lower edge on the protruding thread when pressed and does not return to its original upward position. I will probably switch back to the original Keychron Q5 Pro ANSI plate as soon as it is available again.
