Keychron V6 Max drops to $110 in US and £92 in UK, TechRadar says
TechRadar reports the Keychron V6 Max full-size wireless mechanical keyboard is discounted to $110 at Amazon in the US and £92 at Argos in the UK, with features aimed at writers, programmers, and office workers.
TechRadar reported that the V6 Max is aimed at writers, programmers and office workers who type for long periods and want a customizable mechanical keyboard with a dedicated number pad for Windows or Mac. The board has 108 keys, Gateron Jupiter Red switches, 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, USB-C connectivity, QMK customization, gasket-mounted construction, double-shot PBT keycaps, adjustable RGB lighting and hot-swappable switch sockets. A volume knob can be tapped to mute the computer. Bluetooth can pair with up to three devices, while the 2.4GHz and wired modes support a 1,000Hz polling rate.
The article listed the U.S. price both as $110, down from $120, in its main deal summary and as $109.19, down from $119.99, in a price-context section. The latter reduction is $10.80, or about 9 percent. TechRadar said it had seen the keyboard cheaper in the past, but only as low as $95.99, meaning the current price is $13.20 above that previous low.
TechRadar said the gasket-mounted design and sound-absorbing foam help reduce typing noise and provide a comfortable typing experience. The double-shot PBT keycaps are designed to resist wear and keep lettering from fading. The pre-lubed Gateron Jupiter Red switches provide smooth keystrokes without the tactile bump found on some mechanical keyboards. The hot-swappable PCB supports most three-pin and five-pin MX mechanical switches, allowing users to try different typing characteristics.
In the review, Steve said: “if I could, I’d sit at my desk all day and all night just to feel that pleasing feedback, listening to the satisfying clackety-clack as my fingers depress the keys. It might just be the best office keyboard I’ve ever used.” He added: “For me, it’s one of the best keyboards around, perfectly positioned for productivity-minded professionals, students, programmers — effectively anyone who’s going to be spending a lot of time at their desk. On that score, it delivers an awesome experience.” TechRadar also said its hardware editor had used the keyboard every day since reviewing it in June without complaint.
TechRadar advised buying the V6 Max for users who regularly switch between several computers or want a keyboard that works across different operating systems. It advised skipping it for users with limited desk space or those who regularly carry a keyboard between locations, because the 108-key layout with a dedicated number pad takes up considerably more room than a compact mechanical keyboard.
Editor's Summary
TechRadar reports that the Keychron V6 Max is discounted to $110 at Amazon in the U.S. and £92 at Argos in the U.K., with the article also citing a $109.19 U.S. price in its price-context section. The full-size wireless mechanical keyboard offers hot-swappable switches, Bluetooth and 2.4GHz connectivity, and a 108-key layout that TechRadar recommends for frequent typists but not for users short on desk space.
