Q6 Max

I have the older, regular mechanical Q6 Max and just got the new HE spin on it. You can tell Keychron has improved the design as they're effectively the same KB chassis but the HE variant has much better insulation design and the control slider switches don't rattle. And a side benefit as there's no

Are the switches replaceable on the mechanical keyboard? If so, some cheap 'silent' switches are the way to go, or o-rings if you don't mind the mushy feeling? Have you considered a low profile keyboard? they tend to be a lot quieter out of the box. The Apple Magic keyboards are low profile, come in

To be honest, the choices available that meet all your requirements are so limited that going for the Q6 makes the most sense. If I were you though, I'd not buy it direct from Keychron. They're customer support is questionable, and getting it returned should there be an issue is apparently difficult

Enthusiast circles really have a bone to pick with Keychron, though I never fully understood why. I'm not knee-deep in the super-boutique or DIY scenes, but the couple Keychron boards I do own (a K6 for travel/around the house, a Q6 Max at my desk) I've been perfectly happy with. I've always likened

That's the old doubleshot Keychron OSA profile set. I have one and it's horrible. Both the profile and the typography, and the fact practically none of the modifiers are centered. Once you see that pgup you can't unsee it. Edit: and yes, even that keycap set is not available separately. I got mine f

100% with knob is my preference as well. Add macro keys and ISO, and you have exactly one manufacturer with decent products (well, sort of what with their 2024 QC problems): Keychron. Yeah, M5 - no knob, Qk101 - no knob, less keys, two screens (?). So, Keychron it is. V6 Max, Q6 Max, Q6 HE are all w

Find yourself an original Keychron Q6 (not Pro, not Max) and put silent switches of your choice in it. No wireless. No batteries. Natively supported in VIA without sideloading a .json file. Might have to look at the used market, but should save you money over a $220+ Q6 Max (which has wireless and b

Nah don’t get another Keychron if you want another board. They’re fine as a first board, mine was a Q6 Max, but you can get such better boards for around the same price. You should look into QwertyKeys if you want to maybe dabble in the custom keyboard market. They just dropped the Neo98 and it’s an

This is good to know, and helpful information!I actually originally have the Keychron Q6 Max, which I love. But I kinda want the quieter, more creamy/thocky sound. What would be good switches/caps to swap on this Keychron board?

Das war nicht mit "passend" gemeint. Es geht nicht darum, dass es keine "passenden" Sets gibt, sondern, dass man für eine 98% / 100% Tastatur so viele davon braucht, dass es die Preisdifferenz zwischen Prebuild und Barebones komplett auffrisst und Barebone fast nie die ökonomische Wahl ist. Was zahl
