What it is?
Keychron Q6 Max
Introducing the Keychron Q6 Max, a full-metal QMK wireless customized mechanical keyboard with a 100% full-size layout and support for 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and Type-C wired connectivity. The combination of reinforced multi-layer acoustic foam and double-gasket design provides an incredibly satisfying typing experience while ensuring a superior sound quality.
Key Benefits
Double-Shot PBT Keycaps:
- The double-shot PBT keycaps of the Q6 Max provide excellent oil resistance and prevent the legends from fading out.
- Additionally, the keyboard offers two different keycap options to meet varying preferences and needs.
KSA Keycaps: Adopting an ergonomic design and classic appearance, these keycaps are ideal for standard typing situations.
OSA Side-Printed Shine-Through Keycaps Designed to be less distracting during use, these keycaps provide a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.
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, processed through CNC machining, polishing, sandblasting, and 24 additional manufacturing stages, making the Q6 Max a solid piece of metal art.
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 Assembly: We designed every component to be easily assembled, allowing you to 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 provides more flexibility for developers.
- The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box on 2.4 GHz and wired modes (90 Hz on Bluetooth mode), minimizing latency even in competitive games.
Double-Gasket Design:
- The Double Gasket Design is an innovative structure in the industry.
- In addition to the gaskets on the plates, silicone pads are added between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce acoustic resonance and noise from impacted metals.
- This design combination with a flexible PC (Polycarbonate) plate maintains the flexibility of the gasket structure and enhances the overall typing sound and comfort.
Suitable for All Devices:
- Built with the Mac user experience in mind, while retaining compatibility with 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 save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
Program with QMK & Launcher:
- The open-source QMK firmware provides endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more.
- You can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app.
Hot-Swappable:
- Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, which is why we give you the power.
- You can hot-swap every switch on the Q6 Max with almost all 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without the need for soldering.
- You can customize your typing experience in seconds.
South-Facing RGB:
- The Q6 Max 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 using the Keychron Launcher web app.
Gateron Jupiter Switch:
- Our exclusive Gateron Jupiter mechanical switch (available in the Fully Assembled version only) features a 3-pin design and is pre-lubed to Gateron’s reliable quality standard, providing up to 80 million keystrokes.
- The unique LED diffuser design offers high RGB backlight transmittance and a softer backlight effect.
- Additionally, the banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top, delivering a smooth experience similar to 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.
