Tri-mode full-size Q that reviewers rate highly

A 2.2 kg full-size aluminum Q with 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired modes, double gasket and Jupiter switches. TechRadar, WePC and GameRevolution praised it; weight and fixed height are the caveats.

Our take, based on research

A top-rated full-size mechanical board. Everyone who reviewed it agreed on strong build and sound, and flagged weight and fixed height.

Overview

The Q6 Max is the tri-mode full-size Q: CNC aluminum with a PC plate, gasket mount, hot-swap sockets, QMK/VIA, a knob, 2.4 GHz at 1000 Hz, Bluetooth for three devices and wired USB-C. Keychron lists Gateron Jupiter Red, Brown or Banana, KSA double-shot PBT keycaps, 137 x 446 mm, 2,184 g and a battery rated up to 180 hours.

WePC gave it 5 out of 5, calling it one of the best keyboards its reviewer had used, with exceptional typing even on linear switches and excellent build, and finding the double gasket effective at muffling noise; its only cons were no height adjustment and heavy weight. TechRadar called it a top-tier full-size board for typists and gamers who want it all, listing weight, fixed angle, no wrist rest and a stiff connectivity switch as downsides. GameRevolution also noted the heavy weight and fixed height. Tom's Guide's combined Q6 and Q6 Max review lists 90 Hz over wireless for the Max, 1000 Hz wired.

It is the safest recommendation among the Q6 variants if you want full-size, wireless and mechanical switches.

Pros & Cons

Strengths
  • 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired modes with a number pad

  • Top-notch build quality and QMK/VIA compatibility (TechRadar)
  • Switches layouts between Windows and macOS (TechRadar), with extra keycaps for both
  • Great battery life, Keychron rates up to 180 hours (WePC)
  • Side-printed keycap option available (WePC)
What Could Be Better
  • Extreme weight makes it hard to carry (TechRadar, GameRevolution)
  • No typing angle or height adjustment (TechRadar, WePC)
  • No wrist rest included (TechRadar)
  • Stiff connectivity switch (TechRadar)
  • Tom's Guide's spec table lists 90 Hz over wireless for the Max, so use the cable for the 1000 Hz rate
