2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection

Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the Q6 Max via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.

A Refined Piece Of Metal Art

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

Significantly Enhanced
Acoustic Foams

Elevate the typing experience with a combination of premium acoustic foams such as IXPE, PET, and Latex. Each keystroke becomes enjoyable, making every tap a delight for the senses.

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.

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.

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 Max 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.

KSA Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

To further fine-tune your typing experience, we designed our unique Keychron spherical-angle (KSA profile) double-shot keycap set with premium non-backlight shine through PBT material, that is oil-resistant and durable for long-term use.

Suitable for All Devices

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q6 Max 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.

Program The Q6 Max 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).

While their unique LED diffuser design offers high RGB backlight transmittance and softer backlight effect.

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.

Amazing! Ordered from Toronto Canada - dont be scared about Canada shipping

I'm a criminology professor and spend a lot of time typing. This is my first mechanical keyboard, and while expensive, it is a wonderful experience to type on. Miles better than my old generic wireless logitech. I was a bit apprehensive about ordering from the site as I read on Reddit that there can be delays; however, I made my order Feb 24, and then got an email Feb 28 that my order was shipped along with a tracking number, and then another email March 7th informing me that it was out for delivery. In short, the whole experience was very smooth. I also ordered the rose gold knob, which looks amazing, and went with the G4ateron Jupiter Banana. I never used a mechanical keyboard, so no clue what other switches feel and sound like, but this one is amazing - feels incredible to type on, its super heavy and built like a tank, and Im very happy with the experience and the purchase - yes, this keyboard is very expensive, but for me worth it.

First Time Buyer

A Perfect Blend of Form and Functionality
I recently had the pleasure of using the Keychron keyboard, and I must say it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I unboxed it, I knew I was in for a treat. Here are the standout features that make this keyboard truly exceptional:

1. Sound Quality:
The sound of the keys is music to my ears. The Keychron strikes the perfect balance between satisfying tactile feedback and a quiet, non-intrusive typing experience. Whether you’re furiously typing out code or crafting a heartfelt email, the sound is just right.

2. Weight and Build:
The keyboard has a substantial weight that gives it a premium feel. It doesn’t slide around on my desk, even during intense typing sessions. It’s a keyboard that feels solid and reliable.

3. Typing Comfort:
Ah, the typing experience! It’s like dancing on clouds. The keys have just the right amount of resistance, allowing for effortless keystrokes. Whether you’re a writer, programmer, or casual user, the Keychron provides a comfortable and enjoyable typing journey.

4. Keychron Company:
I appreciate a company that stands behind its products. Keychron has impressed me with its commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. Their attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this keyboard. Plus, their customer support is responsive and helpful.

5. Would I Buy Again? Absolutely!
In fact, I’m already eyeing another Keychron model for my secondary setup. It’s rare to find a keyboard that combines aesthetics, functionality, and affordability so seamlessly. If you’re in the market for a new keyboard, look no further—Keychron is the answer.

In summary, the Keychron keyboard delivers on all fronts: sound, weight, and typing experience. It’s a masterpiece that enhances both work and play. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a top-tier keyboard. 🚀

Very nice keyboard

Feels great to type on the banana switches. Smooth movement with a muted sound that is quite nice. The keycaps are good and I have no plans to change them. Macro buttons are handy and easy to setup. The keyboard weighs more than my computer; it stays where I put it, no sliding around the desk, and my cat cannot push it around. Very comfortable to use.
