Wireless and Wired
An excellent solution for multitasking.

Switch among them swiftly, and it’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows. A reliable USB Type-C wired connection is also available when you need it.
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 Pro.
Easy Assemble
We designed every component to be able to assemble easily so you can customize and adjust each component with ease to create your ultimate typing experience.
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.
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
A powerful ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 chip (MCU) equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box on type-c wired mode (90 Hz on wireless mode), which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.
OSA ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps
To further leverage your typing experience, the Q6 Pro ISO version comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical angle) and ABS backlight shine-through keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel and a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.
Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q6 Pro 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 aluminum rotary encoder allows you easily customize the knob to your desired key or macro commands like zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.
Program The Q6 Pro 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 Q2 Pro keymap working on VIA
Since the VIA code for the Q2 Pro 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 Q2 Pro keymap working on VIA.
Hot-Swappable
Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the Q6 Pro with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. You can customize your own typing experience in seconds.
South-Facing RGB
Comes with 22 types of RGB backlight settings. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed, and different modes, or even remap these keys with QMK/VIA.
Keychron K Pro Mechanical Switch
By optimizing the switch mold, the Q6 Pro switch wobbles less than the standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed K Pro switches will ensure the best fingertip smoothness. Not to mention the banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.
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.

+ Very customizable
+ Easy to build and mod
+ VIA
+ Doesn't move on your desk when you don't want it to
+ Awesome typing experience
+ Bluetooth is easy to use and works great
- RGB is not very bright
- Not as many RGB effects as I would have wished for
- Lack of availability for DE layout (and sometimes barebones version)
- Also doesn't move on your desk when you want it to
(- weird stab compatibility, but could also just be on my side)
I really like this Keyboard, it sounds very good stock and even better when modded (coming from the Corsair K70 MK. 2 with red switches). I tapemodded it and used WS Morandi switches and different keycaps. Furthermore, it is very hard to find shine-through keycaps for south-facing RGB that I have just given up on it completely and will just buy some DYE-Sub caps in the future. Also, the RGB could have been brighter.
Yes, with this many mods I should have gone for the barebones version, but it was not in stock when I ordered the keyboard sadly. Also ISO-DE (the layout I am using) was not available so I had to buy a different ISO layout.
The typing experience is so much better than my old keyboard. It is also very easy to take apart and put it back together. One weird thing I encountered was that different stabs would not fit well in the board so I couldn't use them.
VIA is also very easy and intuitive to use, however it would have been nice if the firmware supported more rgb effects as there are a lot more than it currently supports, but doesn't for some reason.
It is also very heavy and the "feet" make it so that it literally doesn't move on a desk. I like to move my keyboard around so I just laid some felt gliders under it so I could move it (it is still heavy to move around and still doesn't accidentally move, so that's perfect for me).
Overall this is the best custom 100% keyboard you could get, but with some very minor downsides.
Pricey but good

Keychron Q6 Pro QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard ISO Layout Collection
I've had the Q6 Pro for about a month and honestly every time I sit to use it I smile. I never thought the feel and look of it would make such a difference in my work. I went with the banana tactiles and it just feels so good.
Delivery was fine and it arrived on time well packaged. I had a Corsair mechanical before this and the sound of the keys was quite loud and harsh, often picked up on my microphone. The sound of the Q6 Pro is beautiful, clicky but not annoying and doesn't affect recordings. Everything is solidly built, the keyboard weighs a ton and feels really stable on my desk.
Wireless works well, I charged it fully once with the included cable and it's currently at 90% one month later. I had noticed that people worried about response time when using it wireless but I have never noticed any lag while working. Full size is great, working in gamedev I often need to input numbers and with the numpad you cant go wrong. Extra media keys are great for music or binding to other macros. Setup is relatively painless - the guide is there to follow if you want to change input mappings.
It's not cheap but I would say it's well worth it.
