Keychron Q6 Ultra 8K – Full-Frame Aluminum Custom Keyboard with 8000 Hz Polling Rate

Ideal for beginners

A keyboard that inspires confidence right away: heavy, stable and comfortable to type. The Keychron Q6 Ultra 8K is made of a solid CNC-machined aluminum case and weighs around 2.2 kg on the desk. As a result, the keyboard remains absolutely stable even during intensive typing or gaming sessions. The classic full-size ANSI layout offers all important keys including a number pad and is therefore particularly familiar for office, home office or productive work. The keyboard is flexible when connecting. In addition to a fast 2.4 GHz wireless connection for maximum performance, it also supports Bluetooth 5.3 and can be connected to up to three devices at the same time. Alternatively, a classic USB-C connection is available. The integrated 4000 mAh battery ensures an impressive runtime of up to 660 hours without RGB lighting or around 200 hours with activated lighting. In everyday life, this means working or playing for a very long time without having to constantly think about charging.

For IT professionals & enthusiasts

A powerful ARM core chip with 1 MB of flash memory works inside. This enables a polling rate of up to 8000 Hz in wired and 2.4 GHz wireless mode. As a result, inputs are transmitted much more frequently than with classic 1000 Hz keyboards, which reduces input latency and enables particularly fast reactions. The construction is based on a double-gasket mount design with silicone pads between the top and bottom case. This reduces vibrations and creates a pleasantly muffled typing feel. A PC plate also provides flexibility when striking. Screwed PCB stabilizers stabilize larger keys such as Enter, Shift or Space and ensure a smooth typing sound. The keyboard is fully hot-swap compatible and supports almost all 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches. In this version, Keychron Silk POM Brown switches are installed:

• Switch Type: Tactile
• Operating Force: 55 ± 15 gf
• Pre-Travel: 2.0 ± 0.4 mm
• Total Travel: 4.0 ± 0.4 mm
• Pre-lubed for even stroke
• Service life up to 50 million keystrokes

Durable KSA Double-Shot PBT keycaps are used as keycaps. The spherical profile ensures comfortable finger guidance and a durable surface without shiny spots. The south-facing RGB lighting supports over 22 effects as well as individual per-key RGB adjustments. The keyboard is compatible with macOS, Windows and Linux and comes with additional keycaps for both systems.
