New firmware update (1.1.0) for K1 version 6 QMK

And now begins the six-month long wait (or more) for the corresponding source code to be released (so far, it was only fully released for a single keyboard, for the V3 Max). In fact, the source code for the original K1 V6 firmware version hasn't even been released yet (it is probably approaching one

Low profile, wireless, TKL

I see no indication that the K1 v6 is a magnetic board. What you say "Google" do you mean what they call the "AI" results? Those are often nonsense. I have my browser set to redirect to a different search page that doesn't even display that nonsense. Double typing should not be an issue any any boar

Help understanding keyboards K1 QMK V6 and K1 Max

K1 V6 is Bluetooth-only (besides wired). Very little is known, but being a newer keyboard, the K1 V6 may or may not be less affected by the Keychron 2024 design and production quality issues with keychattering and missed keystrokes. The 2024 troubles weren't limited to the gasket keyboards, and ther

Advice for a new keyboard

the k1 v6 is solid but keychron's shipping is rough. grabbed a NuPhy Air75 V2 last month for nearly the same feel - cowberry switches are tactile but not clicky, quieter than my old k1 reds. nuphy's official aliexpress store is legit, ordered twice without issues. if you want dead silent, swap in so

New firmware update (1.1.0) for K1 version 6 QMK

Same. I switched from Logitech G513, which has very bright LEDs (and because of their central position symbols in both layouts are equally bright). But those LEDs started to die after about 2 years. :( As I really need symbols backlight, I bought Keychron K1 Version 6 RGB and ordered cyrillic layout

Cannot get two (2) different K1 Version 6 keyboards to enter Bluetooth Pairing mode

I'm having the exact same issue with a brand new K1 QMK Version 6 ANSI RGB (K1X-B1) non hot switchable. Everything works as expected when wired but when I switch to BT the keyboard just "dies". I've tried everything with no luck. For my version the newest firmware is still v.1.0.0 so there is not ev

K1 max vs QMK v6

Re "why my typing is so much worse on the QMK [(K1 V6)]": The switches may be overlubricated There is also an element of getting used to different switches and keycaps. It may take a few weeks of use as the daily driver. Though I must admit I have a hard time getting used to the flat keycaps on the

K1 max vs QMK v6

The K1 V6 (QMK-based) has north-facing LEDs, so it will be much easier to find shine-through keycaps, including PBT keycaps (this combination is probably nearly impossible to find for south-facing keycaps). An example of PBT shine-through keycaps is Tai-Hao. I bought my set on sale for 1/3 the price
