THE X50Q

Measuring 451mm in length, 168mm in width and 32.5mm in height the 1.54Kg heavy X50Q is a medium sized keyboard.

Once again we see the floating keys design which significantly simplifies cleaning of the keyboard.

The company logo is printed at the top center of the keyboard while the model name is printed on the lower right side (for some reason however it says X50 instead of X50Q).

On the top right corner we find the brightness level (10 levels in total), play/pause, next/previous keys and a volume control knob.

Here we see the Gamma Zulu mechanical switches and if they seem familiar to you it's because they are very similar to the Romer-G switches used in Logitech keyboards (both are made by OMRON after all).

Both sides of the keyboard feature RGB LEDs which as expected you can adjust from within the Das Keyboard Q software.

Turning the keyboard over we see the company name, two rubber feet and two height adjusters.

These height adjusters can lift the top end of the keyboard 1cm from the desk.

The two meter long braided cable ends on a single gold plated USB plug.

Just like other manufacturers Das Keyboard also bundled a textured keycap set with the X50Q.

The detachable wrist rest features the usual clip-on system and once mounted onto the keyboard its length now increases to 233.8mm.
