Top keyboard worth the money

I do lots of typing for work and I've been trying out multiple mechanical keyboards including those of Varmilo range.

With this keyboard, I absolutely love the weight, the sound, the feel, and the experience !!!

Love it !!

This was an impulse purchase that i do not regret. My partner hated my old blue switch cheap mechanical keyboard due to how loud it was. Spur of the moment i purchased this Keychron with Gateron Brown switches. I love it, much quieter but still has an amazing tactile feel and the build quality is outstanding. I feel like this keyboard could outlast me ! It is an expensive keyboard but to me it is worth it.

A note if you intend to purchase this keyboard i would probably get the Keychron Wrist rest as well. It is quite a high keyboard and i found it needed additional wrist support if you are typing for long periods of time.

Solid Build. Great Colour.

I purchased the following configuration:

Keychron Q6 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard - Fully Assembled Knob / Silver Grey - B / Gateron G Pro Brown

I debated the colour of the keyboard for ages, and if I get the blue or the brown switches. Stock availability determined the winner, and in the end, I am very happy with the colour of the keyboard, and I think I am happy with the brown switches. They aren't as clicky as I was expecting, or as tactile - but they're not terrible. I am getting used to them as time goes on, but it usually sounds more like a babbling brook than a keyboard.

There can be very little doubt that this is a solid built keyboard. The box arrives, and you momentarily assume they've posted you a stack of house bricks. Unpacking shows that there has been a level of care and attention to detail. The instructions are clear, and I was able to quickly install and update the firmware, configure the LEDs and be on my way.

My keyboard accuracy has gone way up - which is to say, I still make the same number of typos, but I can tell from the moment I hit the wrong key that I have done something wrong, whereas with the Apple Magic Keyboard, I would have to look up, inspect my work and find them - since it was so hard to tell where the finger has gone from touch. I have noticed that accuracy is also improving as I get used to the large layout - especially with the Fn key moving, and the spaced out directional keys.

This particular model does not have an adjustable / tiltable base, so I expect I will need a wrist rest pretty soon. My study desk isn't especially ergonomic, if I was able to lower the keyboard height, it might be possible to get away without it.

Overall, a great keyboard that feels destined to last longer than me. Great value, and I highly recommend.

Keychron Q6 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard Review

Substantial feeling keyboard that is fun to type on and sounds just as good. The aluminium frame is a nice touch and helps keep my keyboard in place, making it feel sturdy and high quality. Fully customizable keys as well are a nice touch.

Keychron Q6

Keychron Q6 is a premium full-size and all-metal mechanical keyboard. With its all-metal CNC machined body, a full-size layout, double-gasket design, QMK/VIA support, and knob option, the Q6 meets all your practical needs and gives you a high-end typing experience.

A Refined Piece of Metal Art

The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make this solid metal piece of art that is the Q6. 

Keychron Q6 Full Size Custom Mechanical Keyboard

All-around customizable keyboard

To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want.

Keychron Q6 Full Size Custom Mechanical Keyboard

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.

Programmable Knob

Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the premium rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software.

Rotary encoder function of Keychron Q3 80% TKL Custom Mechanical Keyboard

You can easily customize the Q6's knob to your desired key or macro commands such as: zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.

Using the knob as "zoom in/out"

Program Q6 with QMK & VIA

With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more. 

Get the Q6 keymap working on VIA

To get started, please follow the steps: 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 keymap working on VIA.
Since the VIA code for the Q6 is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized, you will need to manually download and enter the Q6 keymap.

Note: Only the right JSON file can be input, please find the right version keymap JSON file which matches your keyboard to download.

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.

Pre-lubed Gateron G Pro Switch

The optimized molded switch with more precise positioning and less wobble will undoubtedly improve the feel at your fingertips. With the fully assembled Q6 version fitted with factory pre-lubricated Gateron G Pro switches, a smoother travel experience is guaranteed for you.

Gateron G Pro Switch Features
All New Screw In PCB Stabilizers

All New Screw-in PCB Stabilizers

The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron Q6 also supports third-party stabilizers, including Cherry or Durock.

ANSI & ISO Layouts

ISO layout is widely used in Europe while the ANSI layout is widely used by the rest of the world.

Note: If you live in Europe, we recommend you purchase the "Barebone ISO” version with the corresponding ISO keycaps. The "Barebone ISO” is suitable for all ISO keyboard countries like the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland, etc.
