Review on Keychron K6 68-Key Compact Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Gateron Blue Switch, Bluetooth 5.1, LED Backlit, Rechargeable Battery - Compatible with Mac and Windows by Nick Nunez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Pretty good keyboard.

I love the look of the keyboard, it's small, attractive and professional. I love that you can easily switch it between multiple computers and that it comes with different keys if you set it up for Windows/Linux/Android or Apple OS. I really don't like the dedicated light button, the backlight is what you install when you first buy a keyboard and you don't have to fiddle with it again. On a keyboard, enabling a dedicated backlight key means tucking the more useful key under the function key rather than getting a dedicated key. The lost key in this case is the Delete key. I keep pressing the delete button where it is on most other 84-key boards and pressing the backlight button. I then have to stop typing to get back to the lighting functions until the black light is corrected. Using the Keychron software suggests every button except the light effect button in the included instructions, so the delete button is lost forever on this board. . This ends my workflow but doesn't destroy this keyboard enough to continue. A design decision for a dedicated light button, a setting you use once and then never want to touch again, compared to an important button like delete is so incredibly stupid. The keyboard is described on the packaging as a "tactile mechanical keyboard for maximum productivity". It's close to peak performance, but lacks a dedicated backlight button. Edit: I've been using the keyboard for a while. The dedicated backlight button is very annoying, I often hit it when I hit the home or return button and end up messing up the backlight. I then have to go through all the lighting profiles to get back to static lighting. Who even uses a lighting profile other than just staying on? It's annoying.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Sad packaging
