Das Keyboard X50Q

Work & Gaming RGB Keyboard

Q software puts your work on the keys instead of on your screen. A site goes down, a task lands on you in Basecamp or Trello, a Twitch channel you follow goes live — the key changes color where your hands already are. Record macros, switch RGB profiles, or build your own lighting in the profile editor.

Windows only. This keyboard has no Mac or Linux mode.

Questions

Das Keyboard X50Q FAQ

What makes the Das Keyboard X50Q a smart keyboard?
The Das Keyboard X50Q has an RGB LED under every key that Q software can address individually. Applets light the keys with live data — build status, unread email, server uptime, CPU load — so the information reaches you without an alert covering your screen.
Which switches does the Das Keyboard X50Q use?
The Das Keyboard X50Q uses Gamma Zulu switches, made by Omron in Japan for Das Keyboard. They are soft tactile and rated for 100 million keystrokes per key, the same switch used in the Das Keyboard 5QS.
How is the X50Q different from the Das Keyboard 5QS?
Both use Gamma Zulu switches and run the same Q software and applets. The Das Keyboard X50Q has a gaming-oriented chassis and a detachable palm rest. The 5QS has an anodized aluminum top panel and a Q volume knob.
Is the Das Keyboard X50Q good for gaming?
Yes. The Das Keyboard X50Q has full N-key rollover over USB and a dedicated gaming mode, alongside the RGB notification features that Q software provides for work.
Which operating systems does the Das Keyboard X50Q support?
The Das Keyboard X50Q supports Windows only. For a smart RGB Das Keyboard that also runs on macOS and Ubuntu, use the Das Keyboard 5QS or the 5QS Mark II.
