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.

Best Keyboard

Great feel, great build. Coding has become even better with this keyboard

Nice keyboard

I just wish it came with more example code for QMK. For example on how to setup keepalives when using wifi so my macros running delays don't cause it to disconnect.

Incredible Keyboard

I've been using it for about a month and it just FEELS great and looks great. I started with Cherry MX Blacks, which were nice, but as soon as I dropped the Blues into the board, this thing unleashed its true potential. I've been missing performance like this for 25 years. As someone who writes for a living, it's insane I went this long without investing in a tool of my trade. It's so worth it.

Amazing keyboard

Calling this a keyboard is a bit of a misnomer. It's a next generation input device designed for your finger tips. Beautiful feel, great banana switches, and lovely key caps. I doesn't have adjustable feet on the bottom, but I'll get some thick rubber pads to raise it up a little bit. I think it's a function of the all metal frame. The thing weighs a ton, so don't expect to be moving it around a bunch. But that gives it a great feel and sound when typing and if somebody breaks into the house they are getting a keyboard to the face.

I've been looking into the Github issue to see if I can help get the JSON mapping merged into the master branch. There's both QMK and VIA that it has to be checked into, and it seems like Keychron has a single person that tries to handle all that. Some community assistance may be in order.

Great keyboard, great feel

Absolutely amazing. I received the q6 max very quickly considering the origin and was impressed out the box. The aluminum case makes it feel great as far as weight. The response and typing from the keyboard is amazing, I love the push and feedback from the banana switches. I can't believe it took me this long to get a mechanical and I'm glad I finally did. I'm an old school computer guy and love that this one is full size and has plenty of extra buttons available to assign macros. Off putting part is you can't just load it up in the VIA web app, you have to go download their JSON because of alleged issues with GITHUB. Regardless, it's by far the best keyboard I've used in my 31 years of using a computer.
