An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

A powerful ARM Cortex-M4 chip (MCU) equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on 2.4 GHz and wired modes (90 Hz on Bluetooth mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.

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 acoustic resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals.

Experience the next level of key sounds and comfort with our gasket mount design together with a flexible PC (Polycarbonate) plate. This design combination allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

KSA Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

To further fine-tune your typing experience, we designed our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.

Program The Q6 Max with QMK & VIA.

Endless possibilities for a fluid workflow thanks to its ability to remap any key, and create macro commands, shortcuts, or key combinations through the QMK/VIA.

Check out the video above demonstrating how to remap the F16 key to an Eject key with the VIA software to create a shortcut to put your Mac to sleep (Command-Option-Eject).

Get the Q6 Max keymap working on VIA

Since the VIA code for the Q6 Max is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized. Please download the appropriate keymap JSON file below, open VIA, turn on "Show Design tab" on "Settings" tab, and drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on VIA to get the Q6 Max keymap working on VIA.

PCB Stabilizers

No detail is too insignificant when it comes to your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as the space bar, shift, enter, and delete keys. You can even customize your favorite stabilizers on your own.

Amazing keyboard

Absolutely amazing quality and feel, I think it might be heavier than my PC! Without a doubt the nicest KB I’ve ever typed on and well worth the cost

Amazing

Amazing keyboard I love it so much! I have been using another brand and it was only 70% size and I have been dying to get a full size mechanical keyboard with the gateron key caps. I only wish they offered the gateron pro yellow caps.

I use a Mac at work so to get it to work correctly I had to switch it to windows mode otherwise my function keys didn’t work. But a small issue and easily fixed. I see no other drawbacks from using it on windows mode.

Will be buying another for home and hopefully I can buy gateron pro yellow keycaps sets in the future for them.

Absolutely awesome!

I purchased the Q6 Max and tried to install some third-party switches, which broke one of the key sockets. Contacted support and they returned, repaired, and reshipped the keyboard for free, as well as installed some first-party switches I purchased from them at the same time.
The keyboard is awesome, the switches are awesome, and the caps I got at the same time are awesome. VERY happy with my purchases.

Beautiful and Practical

From typical using mainstream names like logitech, razer, or corsair. I’m never going back. This keyboard is honestly the best I’ve owned and with zero problems. Every tiny feature blows me away with the quality and thought for the end consumer. Well done Keychron.
