Double-Gasket Design

The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A brand new ultra-low-power MCU Arm structure that is powerful and armed with 128K Flash to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is up to 1000 Hz out of the box, which makes latency non-existent for the competitive game.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

For the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

Switch layouts between macOS & Windows

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron Q6 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Program with QMK & Launcher.

The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app.

* Please use the latest version of Chrome / Opera / Edge browser to open the Launcher and connect the keyboard to your device via wired mode.

Hot-swappable.

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights.

The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Note: The Q6's top case has sharper corners to make it much more compatible with third-party keycaps.

Keychron Q6 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard (US ANSI Layout)

Perfect

Bought this for my first custom keyboard. Used gateron reds with some raiden shogun double shot pbt keycaps and lubed the switches too. Honestly love the keyboard and the keychron q6 board has participated heavily to the sound of said keyboard, its weight keeps the keyboard from ever moving, doesn't feel cheap at all as expected, loved the reprogramming keys feature on via. Overall worth the money for good quality

After weeks and weeks, the order has finally arrived

I wanted this for a Christmas present and didn’t think it would ever come and nobody answers your emails so provided it is in one piece under the packaging. It is finally here.

Keychron Q6 QMK Custom

The Keychron Q6 is a great keyboard. I wasn't able to order it prebuilt in ISO UK, but I was able to order the ISO barebones. It was a fun experience choosing and installing keys and keycaps, I've learnt a lot! The board is itself comes in a very sturdy box, with a nice, branded braided cable. the LED backlighting is peaty bright and paired with the VIA keyboard software it very easy to control. VIA was also a great help testing all of the keys once I had them all installed.

I had a big issue with shipping. This was not Keychrons fault, but it was a frustrating part of my introduction into mechanical keyboards.

Beautifully crafted

This is Keychron's best keyboard yet. Nothing else needs saying, other than I wish there were more colourways available (like the retro one).
