KEYCHRON Q6 ▀ BLUE MECHANICAL BEAST WITH BROWN TACTILE SWITCHES IN REALLY HEAVY METAL CASING

If you are a long term reader/visitor of my site you may already know that i am using following keyboards:

• Japanese [Topre Realforce RGB] [rubber-dome capacitive key switches]
• Chinese [Vortex Race III] [clicky blue Cherry-MX key switches]
• Chinese [Vortex Tab90M] [clicky blue Cherry-MX key switches]
• Thailand [IBM KB-8926] [quite good rubber-dome key switches]
  Note: board from 1996 in mind condition, using it on my job.

And now i’ve decided to give a shot to top end keyboard of Keychron brand.
Founded in 2017 by [Chinese keyboard geeks] and enthusiasts company offers enormous amount of keyboard models to match any possible taste.
Long-term keyboard manufactures like Logitech, Razor, Microsoft look pretty bleak and unappealing comparing to Keychron products.
This beast is a full sized, hideously massive device, which weights almost like Vortex Race III and Topre RealForce combined together.
My first impressions of keyboard sorted by priority: “What’s came to my mind first of all”.

• Silky smooth tactile hit strokes, with sensible feedback [think that i like brown switches even more than blue ones]
• Solid PBT keycaps with ergonomic retro shaped profile [OSA]
• Incredibly good quality metal casing [even better than Vortex Race III]
• Very convenient metal volume knob, which works out-of-the-box w/o any drivers [volume knob also acts as play/pause button, by pressing it]
• Persuasive price/quality ratio, you’ll get the most cheapest offer among hi-quality keyboards
• Macros and key remaping can be done in not so good quality web-app software, which runs only in chrome browser

Here are some pictures of this mechanical gem at your disposal:

After [Keychron Q6] tryout i returned to 100% keyboard size philosophy and ditched Vortex Tab 90M.
Damn, keyboard insanity should be somehow stopped. Somebody stop me please.
