What we like about Keychron K6 Pro QMK VIA Wireless

  • High-quality build with a sturdy aluminum frame and weighted base for stability
  • Full QMK/VIA support allows for extensive key remapping and macro customisation
  • Hot-swappable PCB makes it easy to change switches without soldering
  • Premium typing acoustics due to added sound-absorbing foam and silicone dampening
  • Excellent multi-device connectivity, pairing with up to three devices via Bluetooth 5.1
  • Long-lasting 4,000 mAh battery providing up to 310 hours of use with backlighting off
  • High-quality double-shot PBT keycaps that resist oil and shine

What we don't like about Keychron K6 Pro QMK VIA Wireless

  • Keycaps are non-shine-through, making it difficult to see legends in the dark despite RGB
  • The keyboard has a high profile that some users find uncomfortable without a wrist rest
  • No wrist rest is included in the box
  • The recessed side-mounted USB-C port may be incompatible with some straight third-party cables
  • QMK/VIA web configuration works best with Chrome-based browsers and may have issues on others like Firefox
  • Some users reported a 'hollow' sound specifically on the spacebar compared to other keys

Verdict

The Keychron K6 Pro is a compact 65% wireless mechanical keyboard featuring a 68-key layout with dedicated arrow keys and full QMK/VIA support for extensive key remapping and macro customization. It offers versatile connectivity via Bluetooth 5.1 for up to three devices or a stable 1000 Hz polling rate over a USB-C wired connection. Built for a premium typing experience, it includes hot-swappable sockets compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin switches, pre-installed pre-lubed Keychron K Pro switches, south-facing RGB lighting, and high-quality double-shot PBT keycaps in an OSA profile. Key advantages include its robust construction with internal sound-absorbing foam and silicone padding, screw-in stabilizers for larger keys, and three adjustable ergonomic typing angles. However, notable drawbacks include the lack of shine-through keycaps which can make the legends difficult to see in the dark, the absence of an included wrist rest despite its relatively high profile, and reports that the VIA software works best on Chrome-based browsers rather than Firefox.
