Maybe because of die German Cherry MX switches... oh the 5Q doesn't even use those.

They should have called it 'Die Tastatur', sounds very rammsteiny.

And grammaticaly correct.
"Das Keyboard" is grammaticaly correct, but useless when you need the letters i-z.
Yes but it refers to an electronic musical keyboard, not a computer keyboard, which is indeed „Tastatur”.
Hence "i-z" (in Germany the notes of the chromatic scale go up to H; the German H = English B, Germany B = English B-flat).
