Keychron V6 Ultra 8K Brown Switch (ISO-CH)

Keychron V6 Ultra 8K Brown Switch (CH) – Full-size keyboard with tactile typing feel

Ideal for beginners

The Keychron V6 Ultra 8K Brown Switch (CH) combines a complete ISO-CH layout including a number pad with a pleasantly noticeable, tactile typing feel. This makes it an excellent fit for the office, home office or gaming setup - especially when linear switches give a little too little feedback. The pre-lubricated Keychron Silk POM Brown switches have a clearly noticeable pressure point, but do without a loud click mechanism. This feels defined when typing and gives direct feedback with every input. The connection is via 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 or USB-C. With up to 660 hours of battery life with the lights off, the charging cable can also stay in the drawer for quite a long time.

For IT professionals & enthusiasts

Technically, the V6 Ultra 8K plays well above a classic full-size keyboard. It achieves a polling rate of 8000 Hz via USB-C and 2.4 GHz. The polling rate is 125 Hz via Bluetooth. NKRO is available both wired and wireless. A powerful MCU with 1 MB of flash memory works inside. ZMK is used as firmware. The browser-based Keychron launcher can be used to adjust key assignments, macros, shortcuts, RGB lighting and other functions.

Program with Launcher

The Keychron Launcher allows configuration directly via a compatible web browser. Keymaps can be reassigned, macros can be created and lighting effects can be changed without having to permanently install classic desktop software.

660 Hours of Use on a Single Charge

The integrated 4000 mAh lithium polymer battery achieves up to 660 hours of runtime when the lighting is turned off. With RGB lighting activated at the lowest brightness, up to 200 hours are possible. The keyboard can also continue to be used while charging.

2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection

The V6 Ultra 8K works wirelessly over 2.4 GHz with up to 8000 Hz polling rate. Bluetooth 5.3 also allows you to connect to up to three devices. USB-C is available for wired use. Practical for those who regularly switch between desktop, notebook and other devices.

An Epic Core Inside the Keyboard

A powerful ARM-based MCU with 1 MB of flash memory forms the technical basis of the keyboard. This allows the high polling rate, extensive programming options and ZMK firmware to be reliably implemented.

Keychron Silk POM Switches

This variant uses pre-lubricated Keychron Silk POM Brown switches with tactile characteristics. The actuation force is 55 ± 15 gf, the delay is 2 ± 0.4 mm and the total travel is 4.0 ± 0.4 mm. The service life is stated to be up to 50 million actuations. The stem, upper housing and base are made of POM. The factory lubrication supports a smooth sequence of movements. The tactile pressure point is clearly noticeable, but remains acoustically much more discreet than a classic clicky switch. Especially when typing, this little feedback under the fingers is quite pleasant - you simply know when the key has been triggered.

Customize Every Part

The V6 Ultra 8K is designed for individual adjustments. Switches, keycaps and other components can be changed so that the typing feel, appearance and acoustics can be adapted step by step to your own wishes.

Gasket Mount Design

The Gasket mount design combines a flexible polycarbonate plate with multiple layers of damping. Acoustic foam, PET layers, EPDM foam, and additional cabinet attenuation reduce resonances and give the touch a little more compliance. With a large full-size keyboard, this can make the difference between hollow rattling and a controlled typing feel.

Suitable for All Devices

The V6 Ultra 8K supports macOS, Windows and Linux. A system switch makes it easy to switch between Mac and Windows mode. Suitable keycaps for both platforms allow for easy adaptation to different workplaces.

OSA Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps

The OSA Double-Shot PBT keycaps combine an OEM-like height with a more rounded shape reminiscent of the SA profile. The double-shot process ensures permanently shaped lettering. PBT is also resistant to gloss and wear.

Hot-Swappable

Thanks to hot-swap sockets, the mechanical switches can be replaced without soldering. Most mechanical 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches are supported, for example from Cherry, Gateron or Kailh. Brown today, linear tomorrow, some exotic switch the day after tomorrow – that's exactly what hot-swap is practical for.

Newly Enhanced Stabilizers

Screw-down PCB stabilizers support large keys such as Spacebar, Enter, and Shift. The design reduces unwanted wobble while facilitating maintenance or later modifications.

Unlock Dynamic Backlit Control

The south-facing RGB backlight offers more than 22 lighting effects, as well as static white lighting. The effects can be adjusted via the Keychron Launcher.

Per-Key RGB

With Per-Key RGB, each key can be individually illuminated. Gaming keys, shortcuts or certain workspaces can be visually highlighted.

Mix RGB

Mix RGB allows the keyboard to be divided into two lighting zones with different effects. Handy for functional markings – or simply when a single RGB zone would somehow be too reasonable.
