Best build on any Keyboard
First impression when holding the Keychron Q6 Ultra 8k is this boy is HEAVY and built so well that you can throw anything at it, just don’t throw the keyboard at anything. For gaming the Keychron is excellent, the keys are well spaced and there is NO fatigue no matter how long you game. I love that I don’t need to install a new app to adjust the keys/RGB/micros, all you do is plug in the keyboard and go to the URL. The Q6 also has 8k polling rate when plugged in or on the 2.4 mode and this is a must for competitive gamers as there is basically no lag whatsoever. While the keyboard is mainly for gaming it works well when it comes of office work also. As it is a gaming keyboard the keys aren’t the best for speed, but I was able to do 60+ WPM with ease with 98% accuracy, this was straight from unboxing. Be warned though as the keys are very sensitive you will get accidental keypresses, I didn’t have any issue with double presses. One of the things that the Q6 does that no other wireless keyboard has been able to do for me is wake a windows laptop from sleep consistently. I have 4 other wireless keyboards and none can wake my windows laptops (x86 and ARM) from sleep, it’s such an annoyance having to open the lid every time I want to use my laptop plugged into to a larger monitor. My biggest issue is the keyboard needs to be plugged in to update/configure the keyboard setting, there needs to be an update so adjustments can be made while not plugged in. Overall the keyboard is great and is made for competitive gamers, as I think they are the only ones that will truly appreciate the level of customization. I love the fact that you can transition from windows to mac/ wired to wireless and change out the keys in seconds. The keys are excellent and there is no way you will experience any type of fatigue when using the keyboard. While weight maybe an issue for some, I appreciated that the keyboard wouldn’t budge while sitting on my desk or keyboard trey.

Solid Build, Incredible Battery Life, Stunning RBG
This keyboard comes very well packaged, arriving in two separate boxes that provide excellent protection. Right away, you can tell it’s a premium product. The keyboard itself is noticeably heavy, which reflects its solid build quality. The metal construction of the board adds to both its durability and weight. It includes a USB-C cable as well as a USB-C to USB-A adapter for added compatibility. I personally use an Apple MacBook Pro and was able to connect easily via USB-C and Bluetooth. Once connected through Bluetooth, the connection remained stable. In addition to Bluetooth, the keyboard also supports its dedicated 2.4 GHz wireless connection using the included USB wireless receiver for more reliable and faster wireless speed connection. The LED lighting is beautiful and eye-catching, with bright and vivid colors. You can easily adjust the brightness or switch between lighting patterns using a dedicated button on the keyboard. For more advanced customization, you can connect via USB-C and use the Keychron website to program macros and customize lighting effects. Since this is a mechanical keyboard, you can also swap out the individual keycaps. The keys are very responsive and provide a satisfying typing experience. It is compatible with both Mac and Windows systems. I primarily used it with my MacBook Pro, but I also used it on my Windows PC and PS5, where it performed extremely well. The keyboard features three different layers for Apple and Windows functionality. For example, pressing F3 opens Mission Control to view all open windows, and F4 activates Spotlight search on Mac. It also includes a convenient volume knob, which is especially useful when listening to audio. The keys do produce some typing sound, which is typical for mechanical keyboards. I personally don’t mind the sound, but it may not appeal to everyone. I did notice that the spacebar sounds slightly muffled compared to the other keys. I’m not sure if this is normal or if it will improve with use, but I’ll continue to monitor it. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this keyboard. It offers excellent build quality, an impressive 660-hour battery life, and an outstanding polling rate that delivers a smooth, lag-free gaming experience. Its multi-platform compatibility makes it easy to use with Windows, Mac, Linux, and even PS5. It also features some of the most vivid and eye-catching RBG lighting I’ve seen on a keyboard. I would definitely recommend it.

Top Tier Mechanical Keyboard with lots of features
First thing I noticed when this was delivered to my house was how heavy this keyboard is. It is made and engineered with top tier high quality parts including everything from the inside out. The framing of the keyboard itself is solid metal giving it such a heavy weight and feel to it. With that weight it doesn't move at all when using it even during intense gaming sessions with intense movement and presses on the keyboard. It comes pre-setup for a Mac OS which means for most users we will have to swap out a few of the keys on the keyboard and fortunately they included the tools to do that along with the replacement keys for the Alt and the windows keys. I was able to quickly pop off the four that came pre-installed and replaced with the correct windows keys. They've also made this keyboard modular so that it's easy enough to replace the actual mechanical key parts should one of them fail or break. I like the fact that it can connect via USB to my primary workstation and then I can easily flip over via Bluetooth to connect to my other gaming workstation when I need to work on that one or access it for other reasons. Having the ability to use this keyboard on multiple computers without unplugging anything and just flipping the toggle switch on the top of the keyboard is a lifesaver. My only complaint about this keyboard is that I personally prefer the clicks of a traditional mechanical keyboard. This mechanical keyboard has a soft key feel and sound to it so you do not get the clicking or the same type of feedback that you do in a traditional mechanical keyboard. For a lot of people that may be exactly what they want is the mechanical functionality without the clicks and the noise. Me personally I like that in a mechanical keyboard. Pros - Extremely high quality materials and craftsmanship - Ability to connect to multiple computers - Online website for configuration of RGB lights and Macro key assignments Cons - Doesn't have the same clicking of most traditional mechanical keyboards - Comes setup with the keys for a Mac so all windows users will have to replace 4 different keys out the box - Extremely heavy compared to EVERY other keyboard I have ever owned or used This keyboard is as functional as it is gorgeous to look at. It has many options that can be configured via their website to download various macro key settings as well as changing the color settings on the RGB for the backlit keys. This is a keyboard for a serious professional or those gamers who want to take their gaming setups to the next level aesthetically.
