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.

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.

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 ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps

To further leverage your typing experience, the Q6 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.

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.

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.

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.

I'm finally able to use Vim

While this basically wraps up how awesome this keyboard, or in my case the barebone is, it's fair to say not everyone might know what Vim is. So, here we go for a review:

First of all, the color (I've got the navy blue frame) is super amazing and I really do love it. Since my first keyboard - you might remember those gray devices - I always had a lot of different colors, as long as it was black. So, having a blue keyboard is really something new for me, and I'm super happy that I opted for this paint.

I then got myself some Cherry MX Gray switches, as I personally like the extra force needed for a button to fire.

Unfortunately, I'm bound to use a German ISO layout for several reasons, which made is super hard for me to find some suiting keycaps. After days of searching, I ended up buying some 30 bucks shine through keycaps in white and another set in blue, to have enough buttons for my board. I'm really disappointed that there is no German option for this awesome Keychron Royal set. Guys, I would pay 100 straight to get my hands on this, and as far as my research went, there are others out there, who are willing to pay good money for nice full-size ISO sets as well.

But back to the barebone, and why I came to my rating of only 4 stars instead of 5.
Don't get me wrong, people, I really do love this board! It's so delightful and heavy (in a good way!) and so much fun to type with, I really even started learning Vim because of it. It is truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship, and it is worth a 5 stars rating... but....
This metallic "clang" sound, when a key resolves, and once again, when it comes back to its original state reminds me more of these "E nomine patris" meme's gong sound than what I would expect from a device of this category.

Hopefully, I can get rid of it by tape modding it, but it is kind of annoying that the stock version sound this way.
It is not an awful sound, but it is way too metallic in my opinion.

First proper keyboard, very happy

Came from a corsair k70 and the quality difference is honestly staggering. Everything from the build quality, the dampening foam, the stabs, to the keycaps. Very happy with the sound and feel of the keyboard. I bought it knowing I was likely not going to keep the switches since I wanted slightly heavier tactile, but honestly they were pretty decent. Bit too light for me but incredibly nice creamy sounding tactiles.

Super happy with it as well as the customer support. My only nitpick is the switch pulling tool and perhaps the cable, but I think keychron are well aware most people will get custom ones anyway so I wouldn't fault them on that.
