SeekerKeychron Q6
The Keychron Q6 is very good for office use. It feels incredibly well-built and offers an excellent typing quality. Layers of sound dampening foam keep it very quiet, and the Gateron G Pro Red switches on this unit make the keypresses feel very light. That said, this keyboard is also hot-swappable, which means you can change out the default switches for those of your choosing. This keyboard also has robust customization software compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Unfortunately, the ergonomics are only decent as it has a high profile and doesn't come with a wrist rest.

Product details
- 108 Keys Full Aluminum Keyboard: Keychron Q6 is a premium full-size and all-metal mechanical keyboard. With its full metal CNC machined body, a full-size layout, double-gasket design, QMK/VIA support, and knob option, the Q6 meets all your practical needs and gives you a high-end typing experience.
- Fully Customizable From the Inside Out: To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled, including keycaps, switches, gasket, plate, and case foam if you want. With QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more.
- Hot-swappable Support: With the Gateron G Pro mechanical linear red switch providing unrivaled tactile responsiveness with up to 50 million keystroke lifespan. You can also hot-swap the Q6 with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. The PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizer for “big keys” such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete are designed for less wobbliness.
- Innovative Double Gasket: This Double-Gasket Structure allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound. We added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals.
- Double-shot PBT Keycaps & South-facing Backlight: The Q6 comes with our unique OSA profile and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable and subtle fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use. The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle and free from interference when the user installs Cherry- profile alternative keycaps on the Q6.
PROS
+ Incredible build quality.
+ Hot-swappable.
+ All keys are macro-programmable.
CONS
