Keychron V6 Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Knob Version, Full-Size QMK/VIA Programmable with Hot-swappable Keychron K Pro Brown Switch Compatible with Mac Windows Linux (Frosted Black-Translucent)

After two Logitech G910 Orion keyboards have failed on me in the last three years (RMA'd the first one) it was time to try another manufacturer. I spent half a month searching the web for an alternative full-sized keyboard and digging through many $200+ keyboards, I landed on a reddit post saying try this up-and-coming custom keyboard. I'm so glad I got this gem! It is under $150 (at time of review) and you can literally customize every single key in the VIA software. This keyboard supports and allows you to enable/disable full N-key Rollover(NKRO) While the software allows for full customization it wasn't easy to find and install the local computer app. You have to find it on GitHub; best to search for the download link. A nice feature for those that don't want an additional app you can even run it from within your web browser from the VIA website. One note about using VIA to make modifications to your key layout/macros. You have to do it on the correct layer for your operating system. MacOS is in layers 0 and 1, while Windows/Linux are layers 2 and 3. This does come with replacement keycaps that show the correct icon for the command/option keys for MacOS and Windows. I accidentally pulled the switch out when trying to pull the keycap with the included tool but since they are hot swappable it was easy to put it back in. Having been using this for almost a month now, I can unequivocally say this is an amazing custom keyboard. They keys have such silky smooth action and they make a lovely but fairly quiet thocc. It's very satisfying to type and game on. I may buy some different keycaps that will allow the LED's to shine through the letters as the current ones don't have that feature. They are nice enough for now as I went with the smoked translucent shell. There is plenty of LED glow bleeding through the shell and around the keycaps. If your not quite sure this keyboard is right for you, give it a try! While I personally wouldn't consider this a 'budget' keyboard, it kinda is considering most other custom options are over $200. **Update-03/15/2026** I have been using this keyboard for just under two years and am still loving it! I even had a bit of a scare when I woke up one morning to find my cat spilled a whole cup of water into the keyboard overnight. After taking it apart and drying it, it's been almost a year and not even a hickup or glitch.

The quality and f the keyboard is fantastic, the feel of the keys is great, and the setup is simple. If I had one complaint it’s that I wish I went with the yellow switches that have more feedback, because I have been hitting a lot if extra keys when typing. One major complaint, that doesn’t have anything to do with the keyboard, but with Amazon, is that they shipped it to me without any packaging, and the box ended up with a giant hole in it. I would recommend selecting the gift option so that they actually would ship it correctly.

I'm moving from a Model M to this Keychron V6 with brown switches. It's not even close to the same - it's a completely different type of clickyness than the old keyboard. But overall, I like the feel, and I like being able to type without everyone on the Zoom call getting annoyed that they can't hear me because of all the noise cancellation that had to happen with the old keyboard. I'm also looking forward to trying new switches at some point, but part of the appeal of this keyboard is how modular it is. Speaking of modular, let's talk about how easy it is to assign keys, macros, change LED modes, etc. - all from a browser window. I didn't have to install software, it all *just worked*! I loooove the volume/mute knob, and I've reassigned the extra keys above the keypad to give me media controls, which work out of the box with Foobar. Amazing. I don't care about the LEDs, so I'm leaving those off. The keyboard has a nice weight to it. It feels solid. If there's any one issue I have, it's a very, very minor one. The included USB-C cable is a nice, thick, well made cable, but it sticks out the back and makes it hard to place anything behind the keyboard. I told you it was minor. It's nothing I can't easy solve with a right-angle adapter. I'm not going to retire the Model M - it'll be hard to give up completely. But I think I've found a really great device which isn't the same, but is still pretty darn good. I like it enough that I'm likely going to buy another for the office.

If you are thinking about buying this keyboard, it's the best mechanical one I have ever used. I wish it had it had shine through key caps, as it it is hard to see what you are typing when it's dark.

For $80 this is probably the biggest PC improvement/dollar I have ever purchased. This is coming from a non keyboard snob, so I can only imagine what the higher end models are like, though this suits my needs and tastes very well. Unfortunately, the rgb does not illuminate the keycaps. It only illuminates the keyboard. While I love everything else about this keyboard, I will be returning it and getting a Keychron J5 instead.

I've used dozens of different keyboards over the years, brands and models that is, some were hundreds of dollars each, but this is truly one of the best keyboards I have ever used. The keys feel so good to the touch, very creamy. If you compare more expensive keyboards to this, there is no comparison. I should also add that it only took me a day to get used to it, other keyboards usually take me a week or so to get used to it, not this one. Anyway, buy this one!

really this is the best keyboard I've ever used!

This is a top quality keyboard. If you've never had a custom keyboard before, this is an excellent place to start. I swapped the switches out for some Kailh Box Whales, which are silent tactile, but honestly, the browns it came with were very nice. Much nicer than the Razer Orange switches I had before. The only complaint I have is that the case is not as transparent as I was thinking it would be. Also, VIA is super easy to use and intuitive. The lighting isn't quite as customizable as Razer Chroma or Corsair iCue, but there are plenty of options from classic RGB vomit to tasteful reactive effects and, one of my favorites I haven't seen many places, a heatmap mode where it'll light up different colors depending on what keys are pressed more frequently. It's cool! or hot! I dunno! And it's bright! Just note that the LEDs are south-facing, so traditional shine-through backlit keycaps with the legend on the top of the keycap may not work as well.

The Keychron V6 is an excellent full-size mechanical keyboard for enthusiasts who want VIA/QMK programmability without breaking the bank. What Makes It Awesome? ✅ VIA & QMK Support – Fully customizable key mappings, macros, and layers without proprietary software. ✅ Solid Build Quality – Sturdy plastic case with a gasket-mounted feel, providing a satisfying typing experience. ✅ Hot-Swappable – Easily swap out switches to fine-tune your typing feel. ✅ Wired USB-C Connection – Low latency and reliable performance. ✅ South-Facing RGB – Great for shine-through keycaps and better switch compatibility. Any Downsides? No wireless option (wired-only). Some may prefer an aluminum frame like in the Q-series. Overall, the Keychron V6 is a fantastic VIA-compatible keyboard, perfect for custom key layouts, macros, and a premium typing feel at a reasonable price. 🔥

Urunu 3 aydir kullanmaktayim. Sol "Alt" tusunun kenarinda ufak bir deformesi var. Bunun haricinde klavye kusursuz calisiyor. Almadan once bayagi arastirmistim ve fiyatina degdi. Yazim hissi guzel. Urunde brown key var. Ne red key kadar sessiz, ne de blue key kadar sert ve sesli. Tuslara basarken red key kadar hafif ve bastiktan sonra ufak bir geri tepmesi ve geri tepmesi ile birlikte biraz sesi var. Boylece yazarken gercekten yazdiginizin hissiyatini alabiliyorsunuz. Daha once blue keyi de denedim ve soylemeliyim ki brown key her turlu daha iyi.

No complaint so far

Excelente teclado, silencioso e agradável de digitar. O teclado é pesado, o que para mim é uma vantagem pois ele não escorrega na mesa.

Waited for it for a long time to come to india, atlast meckeys has brought it to india from keychron, it is so customizable that you won't even able to see this kind of customization in any brand from the leading brands as of now in india, It has silicon base in the shell and another silicon base in the between the pcb and the main frame which makes it thoccc and the beautifully available customizable switches from keychron is just another blessing, I got the red ones pre installed all lubed and even with lubed screw in stabilizers which is amazing and I also bought banana switches from keychron which has top tactile bump which are also lubed and so satisfying to type on it that you will feel if you are typing on SpongeBob. It's a pure awesome experience to type on it, the knob is mutable by pressing down and also the whole keyboard including every key is customizable from via or QMK, I have tried, and it works great, although I wish it supports signal RGB cause the effects they have more variety then VIA, although the effects are more than enough and can be set to any mode, style, brightness, although one con I think is some keys like the assistant key which is the mic key above HOME key cannot be assigned to any other function despite trying it multiple times, I hope it will be fixed in a firmware update, rest all no complaints, although I wish it could have given a 2 years warranty like some leading brands do, which would have been nice, in my opinion this was the best I had in years after trying logitech and hyperx and I am truly amazed and can't stop typing on it and they also give us cute stickers please do check the pictures they are really good also the packaging is just enough and great.
