i've had this KB for about 6 months. RGB aluminum with browns, fully modded switches and stabs with the caribean caps from KBDfans. the caps let the RGB shine wonderfully. i also have foam and dynamatt in the case. i love this for my laptop when on the go.and it sounds and feels almost on par with my other 2 full custom keebs. my ex tried to steal it when i told her to kick rocks. would recommend to anyone new to the hobby

[@keepitzen]

The gf steal qualification is a must

[@fluffybunny6482]

I just preordered mine. Out of stock and excited to get it and mod it with my new switches. Im new to keyboards and want to grow after this one. Glad there's good reviews.

[@_fiftyseven_]

umm dude, do you recommend any OEM keycap set for this keyboard for more RGB illumination?

nice! i use this board way more than i ever expected myself. the blue paint job looks very nice too, love to see customisation

[@MrSenses33]

Bro, your mod was absolutely amazing! Loved that blue finish.

[@dolphinoplaza5904]

Finally, a keeb youtuber I know talking about the newer Keychron boards. A lot if people just covered the K2 but I feel they’ve made a lot of improvements in recent months and now have some great value to them! Great vids as always Tae!

[@queerprose]

Yay! Back to budget!

[@fractile8915]

I literally just bought this a few days ago. Love to see this review!

[@godoglove115]

the rgb is not super bright, so if you are in a well lit space the rgb barely shows, not a game changer for me tho

[@coleparkyn9961]

Just got my hands on the latest model and they have done a number of improvements to the keyboard. Solid purchase in 2022.

[@kanade2605]

My first mechanical keyboard and I love it. Im not keyboard enthusiast just using it for everyday use and this keyboard offer everything. Type C usb, compact for travel use, both bluetooth and cable connection, can be used both for my laptop and ipad. Really recommend it

[@Ocelaw]

Haha finally you covered this board, I have this with Tangerines and a PBT keycap set. Keep up the good work!

[@Maeiourk]

I have been using my K6 since released. Modded it with filmed and lubed Zealios V2 67g plus GMK Laser. 3 device bluetooth connection is my favorite feature. I could just switch between my PC, work laptop, and iPad Pro without a problem.

[@stevie_tv]

For the foam mod, you use the thicker piece from the bottom of the packaging and cut it down to size. Since the battery is on the upper left hand side, you'll need to add second layer of foam on the right side and narrow strip on the bottom so it's more consistent. I find using that foam does a better job of making the chassis sound less hollow.

[@joelcb07]

It kinda made my day to see that you did a video on this KB. The K6 was one my 2nd MKB purchase and has served as a daily driver ever since. I think the glue on the sockets was a revision they did after the initial release - I just swapped in some new switches on mine a few weeks ago and had a few sockets break off with the circuit. Their support & engineering department was pretty on point and provided me with a diagram to make a jumper repair.

[@hanadulchaer]

ITZY @ 4:20 , you sir are a man of culture!

[@clarrencejose6461]

Love the Red Velvet Keycap bro. Great Job!

[@dracolnyte]

please push them to create software for existing boards or CREATE a BRAND NEW qmk/via keyboard like they said they would. edited for clarity.

[@urabus986]

They have plans for this

[@dracolnyte]

@@urabus986 yeah I realize that (as per their FB group), but they keep on delaying it since March. Just want a definitive answer or timeline

[@TaeKeyboards]

@@dracolnyte lol damn

[@surya5077]

@@dracolnyte I agree

[@Riverrattie87]

Sorry to burst your bubble here, but they have also updated some time ago that qmk/via compatibility is unlikely for existing boards as it’s too much work to get it compatible. It’s more likely for them to release qmk/via compatible boards as new releases in late 2021

[@unboostedzc]

Been rocking my K4 for a few months now, absolutely love it still. Getting ready to pick up a V2 for the office comp.

[@SuperSweetyblue]

I'm considering getting a K4, what switch option did you get?

[@fritzmoy101]

Haven't done anything to mod mine yet, but I bought it last week and I'm loving it. Was the only wireless, small keyboard with iso Nordic that I could find for a decent/budget price and it was a good choice

[@huantian]

Hey cool more TaeKeyboards, seems like a cool board and a cool vid!

[@f4yeg]

The blue paint looked really classy

[@farhan-app]

I have the K6! My very first mech....honestly I love it so much!!

[@StellaMoonstone]

Great video! I have the aluminum hot-swap K8. I love it. The stabs came pre-lubed and I put Kailh Box Yellows in them and they work like a dream.

[@johnle3819]

Thank you for the great video! I was contemplating on a K2 vs. K6 but was worried about painting aluminum and this seals the deal since my entire desktop is white themed and this was the only keyboard that offered bluetooth so I can use it for both my work laptop + personal desktop. I agree with you, while there are many great custom keyboards out there, they need to start adding bluetooth to their keyboards so people can use one keyboard for all. :)

[@YoLxgan]

Love what you're doing, keeo the videos coming! I got them notifications on. This is my 2nd time watching this

[@PickleTickle]

Great video as usual taeha . . Joking of course. Always appreciate a budget build video and forgetting bags when going to woolies

[@Duckers_McQuack]

Budget doesn't inherently mean bad, just means you got a starting point! Just got my K6, and will start by buying lube and switches to the ones i really want, then later get the base and PCB with proper open RGB software customization as well as configurable hotkeys as keychron doesn't have any customizable software yet.

[@soysaucesalad]

12:50 good use with the EWO stickers! i have a lot of stickers from all my twice albums, maybe i’ll do the same when i get my own board :)

[@JayzBeerz]

even stock it sounded pretty good. but after the mods it sounds amazing.

[@user-sd8us2gk5k]

I am rocking K6 for almost a year now! Just swapped it with lubed & filmed gateron ink blacks, covered with some np pbt keycaps and foam modded. Absolutely love it and use it everyday with mac.

The stock stabs on a 50$ keyboard were better than one I spent 100$ on. I don’t get it either.

[@frostiimoon]

When I got mine, it was lubed and tape modded too which was surprising for the price

[@SubterraneanChick]

First offs: Thanks you Tae for the recent push of vids. I definitely missed the frequenfy during these trying times. TaeKB for 2021. 2ndly: For those that may be curious, I always spray paint my tech with, and subsequently recommend, both the Montana Gold and Black spray can lines. Both are grounded in the graffiti and pro art world. In the US, visit your local art store, online shops, or, for some folks, your local Michael's craft chain store may carry (an extremely limited) stock.

[@TaeKeyboards]

yep, montana is also available here, but I have to order :( solid paints, and a great colour range :)

Wow this video came just in time! I just put some foam inside my new keychron k2 version 2, like literally 30 min ago. I used the 3 mm foam with adhesive. Now I'm just waiting for my 205g0 to arrive. Kinda nervous since its my first mod.
