Full-size 8 kHz wireless Q with 660-hour battery
A full-size aluminum Q with 8000 Hz wireless, Silk POM switches, ZMK firmware and a 660-hour battery rating. Tom's Hardware found it solid but the switches heavy and the keycaps awkward.

Our take, based on research
A capable, solid wireless full-size board with an exceptional battery rating, held back by heavy switches and awkward stock keycaps according to its main reviewer.
Overview
The Q6 Ultra 8K is the full-size flagship of Keychron's Q Ultra 8K series. Keychron lists 8000 Hz polling, 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth and wired modes, Keychron Silk POM switches in Brown, Red or Banana, a CNC aluminum case with gasket mount and PC plate, KSA double-shot PBT keycaps, a knob, 137 x 446 mm, 2,238 g and a 4000 mAh battery rated up to 660 hours. It runs ZMK firmware configured in the Keychron Launcher.
Tom's Hardware reviewed it and called the 660-hour rating at 8 kHz impressive, though perhaps not all that necessary on a desk-bound board. It credited ZMK's wireless efficiency and a super-solid build, but flagged heavy, less tactile switches, high-profile keycaps with small tops and a large, heavy body, and said typists may want to swap switches and keycaps.
It is a niche board for full-size users who want 8 kHz without a cable.
