Good Value for Money

If you've scoured the market for a good mechanical keyboard, you know how expensive it is, especially if you detail its options in enough detail . I'll start with my only negative aspect of the Keychron K6, if you're looking for very clicky tactile keys, their blue switches aren't the best I've experienced. They definitely have a click and some drag, but they seem to lack the blue feel a bit. When you know what you know. Apart from that, this keyboard has a lot of positive features to offer. First, the Bluetooth connection is pretty easy and I didn't notice any lag or typos. It can take a second to connect after waking up my computer, but the lag really isn't anything to complain about. Secondly, the RGB functionality is in no way inferior to even the best. There's a bit more investment here as far as customization goes, but the pre-programmed features are quite extensive and most people should be able to find something to their liking. You will be protected from solid colors to breath effects. The keys themselves are transparent, so the RBG backlighting can be subtle, but you have the option to switch keycaps if that really bothers you. Personally, I've decided to add some keycaps that really help with the keyboard backlighting. There are also keycaps for Mac and Windows for every platform you need them for. I really appreciate that I can use this keyboard with my MacBook and not have to worry too much about finding the right keys for a task, which is a nuisance with other non-Mac keyboards. The keyboard comes with a braided USB-C to USB cable that feels solid and durable. I'm not worried about the cable wearing out anytime soon. Finally, it's a fairly compact keyboard that doesn't sacrifice too much. There are no dedicated function keys, but there are dedicated arrow keys that I use and really need. It was also possible to customize the functions of certain keys, for example I made one of my keys a dedicated key for screenshots. Overall, it's very solidly built and lightweight, but that can be an issue for portability. This keyboard was worth the money I paid for it. I would make small tweaks here and there, but I seriously doubt you will be disappointed with this purchase. Just think about what you want from a keyboard and see if it meets those needs. If not, Keychron has some good alternatives, and judging by the quality of this keyboard, they're worth buying too.
