| Pros , different | 8000Hz polling on a budget full-size (SemiPro) Launcher customization and improved Super switches (SemiPro) Lubed plate-mount stabilizers and hot-swap for 3-pin and 5-pin switches (SemiPro) Build and sound praised on the C1 Pro 8K sibling (Notebookcheck) | Gasket mount and PC plate with soft landings; GamesRadar called it a typist's dream Tri-mode: 2.4GHz and wired at 1000Hz, Bluetooth 5.1 Both USB-A and USB-C 2.4GHz receivers, stored in magnetic slots (GamesRadar) Keychron rates the 4000 mAh battery at up to 190 hours with the backlight off QMK with the Launcher web app, hot-swap sockets and a knob 1110 g (Keychron's figure), lighter than the wired V6's 1350 g |
| Cons , different | Wired only Keycaps feel a little thin (SemiPro) No knob (SemiPro) Notebookcheck found the C1 Pro 8K's firmware update glitchy and its tray mount stiff | Noticeable flex in the top plate (GamesRadar) Smooth PBT keycaps feel slightly sticky over long sessions (GamesRadar) ABS case lacks the heft of aluminum boards (GamesRadar) Max-series double-press and chatter reports led to a Keychron statement in July 2025 (TechPowerUp) Bluetooth polling is 90Hz (Keychron's spec table) |
| Research take , different | A good-value wired full-size, backed by SemiPro's review and a Notebookcheck review of the TKL version. | A well-reviewed wireless full-size with a soft, quiet feel. GamesRadar's notes on plate flex and smooth keycaps and the 2025 chatter reports are the caveats. If you want a wired board, the V6 is the cheaper and heavier option. |
