Wired 65% Q with an extra row and a knob
A wired 65% aluminum Q with an extra row of keys, knob, steel plate and double gasket, around 2.4 kg per Keychron. No independent review of the wired model found.
A straightforward wired 65% with extra keys, backed mainly by the Q65 Max's reviews. Reasonable if you want the layout and do not need wireless.
The Q65 is Keychron's variant of the 65% Q with an extra row of keys and a knob. Keychron says it is based on the traditional 65% layout but adds that row, in a full CNC aluminum case with double gasket, steel plate, hot-swap sockets and QMK/VIA support. It lists Gateron G Pro Red, Blue or Brown switches on the assembled version, double-shot PBT keycaps and 2,420 g. It is wired only.
No review of the wired Q65 turned up. Reviews of the wireless Q65 Max describe the shared layout and case: Tom's Guide noted four dedicated macro keys, a sturdy all-metal build and a practical 65% layout, XDA Developers said the key placement may take some getting used to and listed 72 keys plus a knob, and EnosTech called it a board with everything except a number pad. Tom's Guide listed about 5.33 lb for the Max.
Treat those as indicative for the wired board, which drops the battery and radios.
