I freakin’ love Keychron’s Q collection of keyboards, which take among the greatest options of high-priced “boutique” mechanical keyboard designs and make them reasonably priced for the plenty. By no means extra reasonably priced than proper now, the truth is, since Amazon subsidiary Woot! is promoting one of many greatest, heaviest, thockiest designs . That’s greater than $100 off its unique $215 worth.
The Keychron Q6 is a full-sized wired design, that includes a regular ISO format and quantity pad. It’s basically the identical design I reviewed within the Keychron Q5, simply super-sized. And the factor has an absolute laundry record of high-end mechanical keyboard options, together with however not restricted to:
- An excellent-tough all-aluminum case
- Excessive-profile, high-quality PBT keycaps
- Gasket mounting for a “bouncy” typing feeling
- RGB lighting
- Braided USB-C cable
- a number of layers of inner foam for sound-dampening
- QMK and VIA programming for simple format customization
However the very best characteristic needs to be the truth that the swap sockets are hot-swappable. You may select from Gateron Crimson (clean) or from Woot, however you may as well pull these switches proper out and substitute them with no matter goofy custom-crazy ones you need, like my private favourite, (sure, that’s the true identify). And all of the instruments you’ll have to customise the board, each in and out, are included within the field.
Woot is providing the Q6 on sale for one more three days, or till the inventory runs out, whichever comes first.
