2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection
Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the V6 Max via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.
All-around customizable keyboard
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be easily assembled so you can customize and adjust any or every parts the way you want.
Dual Receivers
For a better 2.4 GHz wireless experience, the V6 Max comes with Type-C and Type-A receivers. Enjoy the quick plug-and-play time. Or, put them away in the keyboard magnetic storage slot at the top right corner.
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
A powerful ARM architecture MCU equipped with 256K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.
OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps
These double-shot PBT keycaps have a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
Switch Layouts Between macOS & Windows
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron V6 Max comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
Gasket Mount Design
By adopting a gasket mount design along with a PC (Polycarbonate) plate, the V6 Max reduces acoustic resonance, delivering a softer and quieter typing experience with enhanced flexibility.
Program V6 Max with QMK & VIA
With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more.

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches.
South-facing RGB LED Lights
The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.
Gateron Jupiter Switch
Our exclusive Gateron Jupiter mechanical switch (for the Fully Assembled version only) comes with a 3-pin design, its pre-lubed with a reliable Gateron quality standard with up to 80 million keystrokes lifespan. While their unique LED diffuser design offers high RGB backlight transmittance and softer backlight effect.
The banana switch provides an early tactile bump at the top with a uniquely smooth experience like those Panda switches on the market.
Screw-In PCB Stabilizers
Even small part matters for your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete. The Keychron V6Max also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.

Customer Reviews
I have been trying to return get my money back on this dumb thing for months. It has lots of pretty flashing lights but doesn’t have the one light you really need…the caps lock light. So, when you are trying to type in a password that has an upper case letter or, worse, a few of them, you don’t know what you are actually typing. When the password you are trying to enter gets rejected you don’t know whether/when you typed an upper or lower case letter. So much for Wirecutter’s testing. I also don’t like this keyboard because the keys feel totally dead. And I really don’t like this manufacturer because they just respond with, “Yup, no caps lock light” and that’s it. I won’t buy anything on Wirecutter’s recommendation again.
Wow I heard good things about this keyboard and I figured for the price it would be alright. I wanted to get into keyboards and this as an intro might make that a short trip! The feel of the keycaps and the red switches are amazing! The keyboard software isn't bad, a little buggy but works. It sounds great but I bit too loud for my taste. I put O rings on the caps and it feels and sounds perfect for me! I my get silent switches and an aluminum or brass board to swap but I couldn't be happier with this keyboard! If you're wanting a mechanical keyboard but don't know where to start, START RIGHT HERE!!!
I received the keyboard from Yorcom, very great packaging from both the sender and Keychron, love all the included tools like the switch/keycap puller, hex key and screwdriver. Works great on my laptop on Bluetooth without any issues, the 2.4ghz dongle connected quite easily as well, pretty much plug and play, and the included USB-C to USB-A was a really nice touch. The build feels sturdy and the sound dampening is pretty good. For this price point... it's more than you'd expect. I went from using a Cooler Master Masterkeys Pro L to this, and the difference is night and day. I won't be buying any name-brand keyboards ever again! The knob has a nice satisfying feel to it and is neatly clicky. The web-based software is amazing and intuitive, with lots of customisation capabilities built into it as well. Will try to use VIA later to see how that works.
Overall, great premium quality keyboard for an appealing price point, would definitely recommend it to anyone who's used to using 100% or needs the full layout.
(Before I get into this, I got the V6 Max with the Gateron Jupiter Reds pre-build)
This is my first "custom" keyboard I have every bought. The only keyboard I have had close to it was one that came with a custom tower to it (so nothing anywhere close to it). When I was thinking about getting a keyboard like this, a buddy recommended this to myself, and it was an amazing recommendation!
The keyboard has that clicky-ness that comes with this keyboard, but is not TOO loud for people in my office to cause a disturbance. The type feels extremely smooth, making everything I type just feel so fluid in my motions. I also really enjoy the Launcher that lets you customize the keyboard, and even test the keyboard to either what you need it for, test to make sure it is working properly, and customize it to your personality. This is also including with how easy it is to swap keys out. The keyboard comes with the necessary tools to swap keys out, as well as some other keys to change some looks of it when you first (small things like the Windows keys, the Escape Key, etc). I bought a couple of keys when I got the keyboard, and was extremely impressed on how quick and effect it was.
I can't speak on behalf on some other keyboards, but I will say I am extremely satisfied with this keyboard, and can not recommend enough for people wanting to get into custom keyboards!
I've bought fully assembled version of V6 Max with Gateron Jupiter Banana switches and can't believe how smooth and premium it feels. Initially I wanted to go for Q6, but couldn't due to budget. Compared to my previous keyboard with original Cherry MX browns, these switches, sound and typing experience feels heavenly! After using for some time and trying my old keyboard again, it felt really rusty rough and springy. The only difference I'd love to see would be the keycaps with transparent letters, but that's a minor issue compared to quality for the price paid.
