Keychron K6 Hot-Swap Mechanical Keyboard RGB Backlit

Good sounding keyboard

I would like to start this review by saying that I have very limited experience with mechanical boards. I owned an EYOOZO keyboard which I modded quite a fair bit, but a lot of boards around this price bracket tend to be very similar to it.For the price ($44 for a new product at the time of purchase), this is a very good buy for anyone looking for a quality compact mechanical keyboard that has hotswappable, non-Outemu switches. I ordered the RGB model with Gateron G-Pro Reds, and they feel fantastic (I know there must be a million switches which must be more expensive, feel and sound better, but for the price, I expected a worse experience).A bonus is that this keyboard is not a 60% but a 65%, so it includes arrow keys and a couple of extra keys such as Home, Page Up and Page Down. I would have replaced Home with Delete (You can still access it if you switch the keyboard from Mac mode to Windows mode and you use Fn1 + [ ) but at least they are accessible. I use the arrow keys a lot for a game that requires them, so it is a pretty good deal. The RGB effect, while smooth, it is not very bright. It does offer a plain white backlight if you need something a bit more professional, so there is that.The sound of the keys is very good for the price, although the keycaps are a bit thin. You could upgrade that easily, though. It comes configured with a Mac-friendly layout, but it does include keys for Windows, as well as an extra set of red escape/lighting keys, as well as a good keycap puller and a switch puller.In terms of connectivity, it can connect to 3 devices via Bluetooth, or you can use it wired with an included braided USB-C to A cable. It is a bit on the short side but it is a quality cable. This is very important if you are using it with a computer, since most (if not all) BIOS menus are incapable of using Bluetooth as an input. It should connect as well to Linux distributions, Android and IOS, but I have not tried that.One thing that might annoy you is the lack of QMK/VIA support, specifically because of the lack of keys and how they try to fix it. Granted, a lot of wireless keyboards at this price range also have that same issue, so it is not exactly a dealbreaker.All in all, it is a very good keyboard. If you are not interested in modding, it will be more than satisfactory for your needs of a quiet, compact and quality board. If you are, it does give you a lot of options other keyboards simply do not in this price range.

I love this keyboard, but there are a few things to note. It looks really sleek and has all the features I'm looking for. The stabs are factory lubed so they sound and feel pretty decent (space bar being the exception). Bluetooth was really easy to set up which was nice, and the typing experience is smooth. However, if you are into bright RBG it's not the best. I do like that it comes with 19 different modes of lighting, but it's hard to see it during the day or even in a dim room. You'd have to be in a pitch black room for the best result (that's usually the case anyways though). I personally don't mind and will probably use it with RBG off during the day. Another thing is it is pretty tall for me even with the little stands. My hands are small so it may vary person to person but I'd recommend a wrist rest. Lastly, my main issue is that I thought it was 5 pin compatable, so I bought Gateron KS3 yellows. When I tried to swap them in it seemed to work until I realized it wasn't in all the way and ended up getting pulled out with the keycap. I clipped the extra pins and it clicked in way better and no longer got pulled out when removing keycaps. It's a super minor issue, but can be annoying to clip all your switches. It has the holes for the 5 pin switches but looks too small. Overall, I don't regret my purchase it's great for me. Hot swap is working perfectly now that I clipped my switches and it connects well with my iPad and computer. Definitely worth it.

been using it several months now. Great keyboard. love the binds it offers and how slick and compact it is on my desk.Not a fan of the default colors. hard to find caps that have 3 keys in one also for number row/ f1=f12/ windows quick keys. I did change majority to pudding caps and it looks sick with them.Not a fan of the key switches but ofc they are interchangeable. Brown isn't quite silent like you would think, but maybe that's because the keyboard has no sound deadening built in. Has that tap sound just no clicky.RGB is pretty cool. Switched from razer where you could customize all, like the simplicity really. Just want to plug in and play. Haven't used the bluetooth a whole lot but have connected it to my iphone and works lol! Was different and though that could come in handy one day too.

Good keyboard

It takes up little space on my desk, my typing is more accurate, and I can feel the response when I am playing games. I really enjoy this keyboard.
