About the Keychron Q6 Max Wireless Mechanical Keyboard (Carbon Black, Red Switch)
The Keychron Q6 Max is a full-size mechanical keyboard with a CNC-machined aluminium body, made for people who need a number pad and want a heavy, quiet board that also works wirelessly. It connects over 2.4 GHz at 1000 Hz, Bluetooth 5.1 with up to three devices, or USB-C, and supports QMK and VIA for remapping and macros. This Q6M-M1 version is Carbon Black, fully assembled with linear Gateron Jupiter Red switches and KSA double-shot PBT keycaps. A double-gasket mount, PC plate and several foam layers soften each keystroke, and the knob handles volume or custom shortcuts.
