Keychron V6 Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Knob Version, Full-Size QMK/VIA Programmable Macro with Hot-swappable Keychron K Pro Red Switch Compatible with Mac Windows Linux Black (Non-Transparent)

I am very picky about my keyboards. I loved the mac extended keyboards, kept that as long as possible - with adapters until it no longer worked. After that it was miserable for a while. Even the Mathias keyboards with mechanical switches didnt work that well. Settled on a Logitech wave keyboard until they were discontinued (wired version) and the switches no longer worked smoothly. So went looking for a new wired keyboard. Never heard of Keytron but was intrigued because they seemed durable, customizable, wired, worked with macs, and reasonably priced. Went with the brown switch because of the supposedly positive feedback. Box said V6-D3 brown tactile. Well, in comparison with the Apple A1048, there is almost no tactile feedback, almost feels like a linear switch to me. The tactile feedback is very light. But that is somewhat good as I preferred a lighter tactile feedback. Easy to set up, and get working. If there is one improvement, I would suggest including some custom keycaps for the top 4 keys to the top right. They come with a circle, triangle, square and X. which are next to useless. The other suggestion would be to have translucent keycaps like macbooks. The LED lighting is distracting and useless. Oh, and the keyboard is heavy, so it stays put. I will try this a while and see if it stays.

The Keychron V6 Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard has exceeded my expectations! It came exactly as advertised, and the build quality is outstanding—it’s solid, well-built, and has a surprising heft to it. The keys sound great right out of the box, are hot-swappable, and the RGB backlighting offers plenty of customization options to match any setup. The volume knob is an excellent touch and super convenient for quick adjustments.One tip: I’d recommend testing out the different key switch options before purchasing to find your ideal feel and sound. My only minor complaint is that the stock keycaps aren’t shine-through, so the RGB doesn’t shine as brightly through the legends.Overall, this is a fantastic keyboard, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a durable and customizable mechanical keyboard!

* Build quality: 5 stars* Tactile feedback: 5 stars* Key Press Sound: 5 stars* Ease of connectivity: 5 starsSo this keyboard is probably one of the best keyboards I've ever purchased. I've been using it for about 4 months now and have had 0 issues with it. No problems with its construction, its build quality, its design, its layout, nada. This thing is built like a tank, too. Heavy solid frame, keys sound great when pressed and give excellent tactile and auditory feedback, and it worked with Windows 10 right out of the box. It cost nowhere near some of the higher end brands, like Das Keyboard, yet I think it exceeds their quality. Absolutely worth the price.The only thing I wish it could do is disable the LEDs. I don't care much for LEDs on my gear and most keyboards/mice have a way to disable them but I couldn't figure out how to do that with this keyboard.

If you're obsessive about researching your computer gear like I am you'll likely have come across the term "budget" when researching this board. This is a budget board when compared to boards two or three times it's cost.This keyboard is great and is miles ahead of the Corsair K70 it is replacing. I have the red switches and the keys feel and sound great. Most importantly they are fairly quiet. I love the macro feature. The keyboard is fully programmable so I programed the shape keys to be my macros. The macros are saved onto the keyboard itself so you can even unplug the keyboard and move it onto your work computer. The software is great and is much easier to use compared to Logitech's.Just two minor complaints. The keycaps are not shine through. If they are they are barely shine through. In the dark you'll be able to see the outline of the keys but not the letters. The knob is a great feature but it is a little awkward to manipulate. There isn't much room between the knob and the keys to fit your fingers.
