Unreleased, bad firmware probably
Very heavyduty, feels good, sounds good, actuation is perfect for me on the default switch. Unfortunately, you will NEED to get a wrist rest. Since the thing weighs around 8 pounds, it does not come with risers, which makes sense since they would break under the weight. The keys are also very tall, so switching to other MX-type keycaps will be difficult if you don't like what comes stock. The main issue is possibly firmware related. The Max version of the Q6 suffered from double registers on keys, meaning that if you typed Mouse, it might come out as Moouse or Mouusee, etc. This keyboard makes it so that any word like noodle or waffle come out as nodle and wafle respectively, making it so that if you type at anything over 60 WPM, you get mistypes. I wonder if they still have an issue with doubletaps, and the firmware is trying to prevent them, but then negating intentional double letters. Keychron support to their credit was quick to respond, but wanted extensive video recordings and would not send the firmware. The keychron launcher is not compatible with this yet, so I was going to use qmk_toolbox... firmware was not provided. It's possible that this issue is fixed, but I don't have time for a back and forth to get a simple firmware file. I ended up with the K10HESE from Keychron, same layout, but no volume knob. It simply works, connects properly, etc. Last gripe, on both bluetooth and the 2.4GHz transceiver, it has random moments where it delays for a few seconds, or disconnects. This was not present on their K10 HE which is also new. Again, this could be firmware, but if Keychron is not willing to allow us to download the firmware without going through extensive support, I can not endorse this keyboard. $260+ with Tax, not worth it. Keychron also needs to figure out how to get their launcher to work over wireless... if their newest flagship doesn't work but some of the older ones do, they are regressing. Returned.
