KEYCHRON K6 PRO - FULL REVIEW (W/ SOUND TEST)

[@disarmyouwitha]

I got my k6 pro yesterday and it feels like a dream~ Keychron is really upping their quality since the Q line, especially after Q1V2. I really like the silicone pad in the bottom and the foam between the PCB and the plates -- it sounds so nice.

[@EnforcerMan]

I totally agree. Congrats mate.

[@SanathanDharm]

Perfect video for selecting a keyboard. Couldn't have asked for more. More power to you! Subscribed for life.

[@chocohouse4147]

I was expecting a rushed video because it's the only one I've found about the K6 pro, but I'm very pleasantly surprised! Great video, keep up the great work!

[@EnforcerMan]

Appreciate the feedback mate 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼

[@itspyxis]

After a week of research for a wireless south facing 65% budget mech keeb i think i've decided to wait for this one

[@musooo]

yeah wireless and QMK programmable keyboard this one is the first %65 I think.

[@adequatequality]

Wow, the thing that stood out to me the most is actually how well the stabilizers sound compared to the non pro models of the keyboards. Didn't hear much rattle and I think with some extra lube, they'd be really good. Anyways, good video!

[@EnforcerMan]

I agree

[@danb5678]

I just got a k6 pro and damn was I surprised. I have a k2 v2 and this k6 pro just feels and sounds 10 times better than it. Now I'm thinking of getting k2 pro as well

[@jfdkfajsksadjlfa2218]

does the aluminium frame only go around the keyboard? I remember the aluminium on the k6 only covered the actual plastic body and I was wondering if it was the same here

[@thineshkumar7360]

Yea that spacebar and backspace key has a weird noise than the rest. Nice that you pointed that out also and also modding it!

[@Robotti18]

Some of the ISO versions as de spanish one, doesn’t have the option to get the PBT caps, so you’re gonna get the ABS ones, what is sad, but at least they are see through and the letters shine 😅

[@robertpearson8546]

I recently purchased a Keychron K7. The K7 is advertised as "wireless". It is actually Bluetooth (same frequency band, different protocols). Connected to my system with supplied (too short) USB cable. Multiple keys do not work. Keychron sent me a link to a website designed to test keyboards. I sent a screenshot of the results to Keychron. Keychron demands a video showing the keyboard and screen proving that I did not falsify the test results. The product is sold "as is" - there is no warranty. Tried to get an RMA number and a return shipping label. If the keys do NOT work, the feel DOES NOT MATTER, and the reliability DOES NOT MATTER! If this is the way they treat their customers, do not expect them to be there in a few years. I have never had a company demand that I provide a video proving that I did not falsify their test data. Look at their "service" non-warranty. They specify "as-is". They do not guarantee that their products work to any extent. And they refuse any responsibility for what happens when you use their product. The laws in Hong Kong must be very different. The reason some keys do not work could possibly be defects in design or manufacturing. More likely, the firmware does not conform to the USB Human Interface Device (HID) standard. Since they take an adversarial position to customer complaints, I do not see them lasting very long. Other manufacturers can make (or buy) red optical switches. Do not expect Keychron to be there when you have problems in 5 or 10 years. I have demanded that, for the video, they must send a cameraman and equipment and pay me my consultant fee for demonstrating that their keyboard does not work. I have also demanded a written apology from the CEO and an immediate refund. Other manufacturers should re-think the Windows and Apple-only policies. Given that iOS is a facade sitting on top of embedded Ubuntu Linux (eLinux), Android is a facade on top of eLinux, Chrome OS is a facade on top of eLinux, OS X for the M1 is probably a facade on top of eLinux, and Windows for the ARM is a facade on top of eLinux, supporting Linux might be a good idea. Apparently, Keychron does not have a Customer Service Department. I did receive an email claiming that if I sent the defective keyboard to their warehouse, I would get a refund. I emailed back, "What is the address of your warehouse?" They eventually gave me the mailing address. On September 10 I sent the keyboard back. As of December 16, no refund and no keyboard.

[@VictorHernandez-dw4eb]

thank you very much for your videos I liked it a lot, on what date did you make the pre-purchase? I made the purchase of mine about 10 days ago and I still have not received shipping information, I imagine that there are many orders ahead. Thanks again!

[@EnforcerMan]

Thanks mate… I actually ordered this a few months ago on Kickstarter. But my understanding is this was in pre-order stage until just a few weeks ago and they we’re going to start shipping in OCT … so they are probably backed up a little

[@osbaldocruz4735]

As a Mexican I love how they are expanding their portafolio with Spanish ISO. I'm definitely getting a couple of these

[@Robotti18]

The only fact is that they don’t have a latin american ISO version yet and… the ISO versions don’t have the PBT buttons, all of them come with the ABS ones

[@Robotti18]

How do you enter the F1-F12 functions without the buttons above?

[@ahmadrodik9213]

How does the K Pro switch in K6 Pro compare to Gateron from previously reviewed K8 Pro? Feel and soundwise

[@mrmixer3791]

Wondering this too

[@ahmadrodik9213]

@@mrmixer3791 just got my K8 Pro, feels so good. Think will use it for long before need to change it to cherry switches

[@halooche]

Thanks for the video. I take notes during work calls, do microphones pickup the sound of the keys?

[@parvez5295]

Great video, really informative

[@escalibur8437]

Thnx for the Review. One question. In all the K6 Pro Reviews so far it looks like only the keyboard is lit but not the caps. In pics and videos of the K6 the caps are lit. My son would like to get a K6 Pro for christmas. Though he already put custom caps on his list as well. Does it depend on buying the right caps if you want them to be lit as well? Hopefully i put my issue the right way, since english ain't my mother tongue. Feedback is appreciated.

[@EnforcerMan]

thanks mate... so these keycaps are not shine through.. if you want a good close look see my video at about 9:30 or so. But you can buy shine-through keycaps :)

[@escalibur8437]

@@EnforcerMan ... I appreciate your answer. Thnx. In the meantime I researched a bit more and so far I've come to the conclusion that it's a bit of a pain to find shine through caps. I mean Keychron offers a set themselves but if you prefer third party customs in specific designs... not that easy anymore. Anyway, have a great weekend and stay safe.

[@spikeimperial]

@@escalibur8437good quality pbt printed keycaps should be all you need. The backlight of the monitor is gonna be more than enough to see the keys. On the V4 I can see the keys with very minimal light on a nightlight setting with my lightbar all the way in the corner. Realistically. You are going to be in front of a light source (aka monitor) so i wouldnt worry too much about shine through.

[@Robotti18]

@@escalibur8437PBT capts have solid color and are way more durable, ABS caps are shine through but they are not that durable, you can choose between them in almost all their keyboards

[@Sbrillo43]

Hi, if I want, can I change the keycaps with something else? There are standards? Sorry for the obvious question but I'm very new in this keyboard world, and I still searching for my first mechanical keyboard. There is a white or silver/grey frame for this keyboard? Do you know a keyboard with the same features (wireless, backlit, 60%, hot-swappable) in another colour and the same price as this?

[@disarmyouwitha]

You can absolutely change out the keycaps. =] Since it's hot-swappable you can also change out the switches! I think they K6 pro is only black, but you could check out some of Keychron's other boards: www.keychron.com/blogs/news/difference-among-keychron-keyboards Specifically, you might like the Keychron Q2 which comes in different colors as well as knob/no knob (The knob is so nice) but it's ~$180

[@PhoenixKeebs]

Can you compare this with the nuphy halo65

[@CarloLeonKolega]

Does this board fit any switch that they sell on their page, except the low profile ones?

[@666BLEEDER]

Is the sound/feeling the same as the keychron k8 pro or is it any different?

[@EnforcerMan]

Exactly the same

[@MohitKumar-ri3yv]

​@@EnforcerMan I have seen many people on youtube saying that K8 Pro (with gateron Gg pro switch) sound better than K2Pro or K6Pro (with Keychron K Pro switches)... I just ordered K2 Pro Brown Aluminum as the K8 Pro is out of stock for so long in India. Still m confused between K2 pro and k8pro

[@BrianHartman]

It looks like a nice keyboard, but I'm not a fan of those keycaps. They should've made the letters translucent. That RGB lighting is aesthetic, I guess, but it serves no function if it doesn't help you see the keys.

K2 Pro is shipping. Did you got it already?

[@EnforcerMan]

I normally buy all my Keychron keyboards but recently started talking with them and I’m waiting to see if they would send me one for testing.

@@EnforcerMan got it. Mine is on the way. I’m impressed they haven’t sent this to no one to review before orders started

[@sayednab]

how is it compare to k3 pro?

[@atFate]

Hey Enforcer man, is there a huge difference between the K6 pro and non pro?

Oh my god, YES. Both for K8 and K6

Reprogramme a key using Via

They need to work on their stock spacebar

[@jeang.5139]

first thought: nice beard :)

[@mrmixer3791]

Can you remap the light button to the delete key?

[@StephenBurke]

My understanding is that with QMK you can remap anything to anything, and since it is firmware on the keyboard itself, those maps will apply anywhere. So you could reprogram it on one PC and it's going to work as expected on all your devices (like when connected via Bluetooth to your phone)

[@levu1993]

Yes you can

[@karlkeppler3786]

Is this keyboard good enough for gaming? I know it only has Bluetooth

[@EnforcerMan]

It has wired connection as well which is great for gaming

[@karjanieluj3135]

I don't get the point to backlight the keyboard but not the keycaps...

[@nypranlow1992]

[@EnforcerMan]

I don’t understand what you’re asking.

you can probably use VIA to remap one of the keys to delete key or make a key combination function the same as a delete key
