Product Description
Keychron V6 QMK/VIA Custom Mechanical Keyboard
The Keychron V6 is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard with QMK/VIA support. Anyone can intuitively master any keyboard keys or macro commands through the VIA software. The V6 is designed to be able to assemble easily, so you can customize the hardware and software with endless possibilities.
Hot-swappable
The pre-lubed Keychron K Pro mechanical switches come with an optimized mold with more precise positioning, and less wobbliness will certainly improve your fingertip feel. The Keychron switch is durable enough with unrivaled tactile responsiveness on the tactile brown switch and up to 50 million keystroke lifespan.
The hot-swappable sockets supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.), so you can customize your favorite switches without soldering.
Program Each Key and Macro with QMK/VIA
Simply connect the V6 to your device with a cable, import the V6 keymap JSON file into the VIA software, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on macOS, Windows, or Linux operating systems, e.g.: create a macro command of a screenshot on macOS. Check our user guide or user manual for more instructions.
A brand new ultra-low-power Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 MCU which is powerful, and armed with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers.
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 wobbly. The big keys’ typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron V6 also supports third-party stabilizers including Cherry or Durock.
Wired Connectivity
A reliable USB Type-C wired connection with 1000 Hz polling rate and NKRO make sure you won't miss a beat no matter cranking out emails or code.
Note: Please avoid connecting the V6 with a laptop through a hub to ensure enough power supply. For the same reason, please turn off the keyboard backlight if the V6 is connecting with a tablet.
PBT Keycaps & South-facing RGB
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle and free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the V6.
The V6 comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical-angle) and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable and subtle fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use.
All-Around Customizable Keyboard
We designed every component to be easily assembled, including keycaps, switches, gasket, plate, and case foam if you want.

Very nice keyboard, works great. For reference, I’d say their “brown” key switches are quieter than the original “Cherry brown” switches, but they still have a pretty good feel. (My last 3 keyboards were cherry brown from 3 other vendors). Ever so slightly “softer” but still a great typing experience. Love the rounded edges on the key cap shapes - very old-school feel.

pressure: I am not a light typer by any means, and I usually use red switches in 45gf. but this tactile one feels way more difficult to type on compared to the linear red switches.weight: the aluminum case gives very sturdy and pleasing sound, like it! but also makes it really heavy. sometimes I need to move my keyboard around, and this one is not so easy to lift with one hand.lighting: RGB light has decent brightness and multiple modes to switch on. although no app to control like Razer, but still good enough.

Typing speed increased with less errors. Very nice keyboard for work. Software was easy to create macros for all keys.

Really nice keyboard feel. However, the top row of keys doesn't work as it should. If you put in a request for support, Keychron never gets back to you. They appear to have no true customer support at all.

When the package arrived, the box was damaged, but the keyboard didn't seem to suffer any damage. We'll see if there's any damage over the next few days.It might have been unwise for me to have it shipped in the original box and I should have opted for Amazon packaging instead. That might have saved it from the mishandling of the shipping clerk.I just got it today, so, if I find other issues, I'll update this post.The currently issue I have, which probably can be fixed by buying new keycaps? Is that the light does NOT go thru the keycaps, so that in complete darkness, you can't see the letters!The keyboard is pretty heavy, which makes it feel premium. I've never owned a premium keyboard before... Only $12 Logitech keyboard, because I've never needed macros or custom key swapping like A = D, AND S = W so that when I play a EBR in world of tanks, I can toggle the keyboard so that I don't have to think about driving in reverse!The entirety abilities to create as toggle keyboard, and changing the keys on a hardware level is better than installing software!DO NOTE: Firefox doesn't work with the keychron launcher nor the VIA launcher. You'll need to use Microsoft Edge browser.I was using Firefox 130.0 at the time of this writing.

Solid build quality, solid typing feel, solid keyboard. Heard about this keyboard from a review on Wirecutter but didn't see it reviewed many other places (aside from here). I decided to give it a shot, and I couldn't be more impressed with it so far. It has the solid mechanical feel I remember from the old IBM mechanical keyboards but with quieter (brown switches), more modern switches, features, and RGB lighting. The key quality and lighting make for a great look. I know some have commented about the lack of shine through on the keys, but I think the south facing RGB lighting still makes for a great look. I use it for a mix of typing, office productivity, and casual gaming, and it works well in all areas.This keyboard comes with everything you need and more, plus reasonably clear instructions. The only negative I can think of is just having to spend a minute swapping four keys to get the Windows layout (it comes with Mac key layout by default). I'm not sure if this decision was because the majority of their customers are Mac users, or if they're just trying to force Windows gamers to get a quick hands on tutorial with key cap swapping, but it's not enough to subtract any from the rating. I haven't gotten a chance to try out the open source customization software for key mapping and such, but will update this review if/when I do.My love of this keyboard was also seconded by my wife. As soon as I got it out of the packaging, she tried the keys and fell in love with the typing feel/sound, and again once I got it hooked up for the RGB lighting. She loved it so much that we had to get a second one (with red switches this time).

I did a lot of research on this keyboard and which switches would be best for typing in an office environment. I'm a software engineer who is forced back to the office and needed something better than the standard issue membrane keyboards my company gave me.My wishlist for a mechanical keyboard was: no frills, inexpensive, full-sized and wired, with quiet switches that wouldn't annoy my coworkers on the same floor. The K60 with red switches hit the spot. Typing feels like a dream and the keyboard is quiet. The only noise is a slight bottoming out, no clicks.Taking it out of the box, it just screams high quality. The keyboard feels heavy, which is a good thing. You get a basic instruction manual and all the tools needed to take it apart, replace switches/keycaps, etc. Overall, this is the best sub $100 I've ever spent on a keyboard! It even beats higher priced ones I have at home.
