Keychron Q6 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard Barebone Knob Version, Full-Metal Hot-Swappable RGB Backlight 2.4 GHz/Bluetooth/Type-C Wired Gaming Keyboard for Mac/Windows/Linux - White

This is — BY FAR — the absolute best keyboard I have ever owned. The thing weighs an absolute TON, but I suppose that just means it's not going to be sliding around while I type. The customization through Keychron's site makes it even that much more incredible. I was super happy to find that you can create 2 separate "zones" (whichever keys you choose) and apply RGB lighting affects separately to each zone. I highly recommend this if you are in the market for a keyboard.

Well built, stable and heavy. Sounds very nice with clicky or tactile switches. Preinstalled foams and gaskets make this board a great performer out of the box with room for mods if you get bored. All things considered this is a very reasonably priced board given the features. It is hard to do better at this price point.

Good keyboard, a little on the heavy side really good quality I would recommend

This is your end stage keyboard. Every review says it is heavy but to put it in perspective, this keyboard without switches and caps weighs exactly 4lbs. My personal build included Gazzew and Boba U4T Thocky tactile switches (v2 black at 68g) and MOA style keycaps. The good: They keyboard is solid and heavy. It has the full spectrum of connection options and the battery seems to last as long as my other Keychron keyboard. Make sure when buying caps, you buy a set that supports 110 keys. While I don't use them, the RGB function and customization seems incredible. The online app for configuring works well without needing a thick client to install. The sound combined with my switches is exactly what I was looking for. A USB-C cable is also included and the connection is at the top of the unit unlike other Keychron boards where it is on the side. For my other board, it was really hard to find a usb-c coil cable with a right angle on just the one side. Opportunities: I only have 2 areas I would like to see improved (hence the 4 stars). First, others have mentioned it, but either the switch plate or the supports for the plate are not up to the standards as the rest of the keyboard. I noticed this mostly around the top left near QWERT. It flexes too much when inserting the switches. However, I don't notice this when typing and gaming (WASD is fine). The second is the complete lack of feet and ability to raise the board. It is too flat by default. I resolved this by finding a model on printables and then remixing it to the exact height that I prefer. I then had to mount these to the keyboard by removing the existing m3 screws and replacing them with longer ones. This is the biggest hangup for me. For a keyboard that costs more than $200, adding feet to the bottom shouldn't require custom cad work and a 3dprinter. Don't let these opportunies dissuade you from getting the keyboard, they are merely recommendations for the next version of it.

This is my fourth Keychron keyboard, having previously purchased and used a K5 Pro, a Q6 Pro and a V6 Max. I installed Gazzew Boba U4 silent tactile switches and Keychron OSA keycaps, which added another $120 to the total cost, but I have been extremely happy with the overall feel after having used it daily for the past several weeks. It is a very heavy keyboard, weighing in at close to 5 pounds, but the weight provides a solid feel and sound when typing. The VIA website (caniusevia.com) does require a Chromium-based Windows browser (e.g., Chrome or Edge) to remap the keys, but it is straightforward enough to do once you download the keymap JSON file from the Q6 Max product page on the Keychron website.
