The Keychron Q6 Pro is a full-size wireless mechanical keyboard — number pad included — in a machined aluminium case. It connects over Bluetooth 5.1 to up to three devices or by USB-C cable, is hot-swappable, and supports QMK and VIA for remapping [1][2]. Trusted Reviews priced it at £185 / $210 at review [1]. This page is based on manufacturer specifications and published professional reviews; we don't test keyboards in-house.

Quick verdict

Trusted Reviews called the Q6 Pro "an excellent wireless mechanical keyboard," "incredibly well built," with a "responsive and comfortable typing experience," long battery life, and simple Bluetooth pairing [1]. Its downsides are price, weight, and RGB lighting that's dim through the standard keycaps [1]. If you want a premium full-size board for long typing days and need a number pad, it's one of the strongest wireless options.

Full specs

What stands out

• Build quality. The machined aluminium case has "no flex to speak of," and case foam plus pre-lubed switches and stabilisers keep it free of rattle and ping [1].
• Comfortable switches. Trusted Reviews found the Banana soft-tactile switches "felt excellent" for long writing sessions [1].
• Long battery life. Keychron quotes up to 300 hours with the backlight off; the reviewer charged it only once during their time with it [1].
• Multi-device. Pair with three devices over Bluetooth and switch with Fn + 1/2/3; a hardware toggle swaps between Mac and Windows layouts [1].
• Full size, done properly. A standard layout with the number pad and navigation keys where you expect them, plus a volume knob [1] — rare among enthusiast keyboards.

What to know before buying

• It's very heavy. 2.16kg [1]. It's a keyboard that stays on the desk.
• Dim RGB. With the solid standard keycaps, lighting acts more like an underglow and is barely visible at low brightness [1].
• Tall keycaps. The KSA profile is taller than standard OEM/Cherry caps and takes some getting used to [1]; a wrist rest helps.
• Price. It's expensive for a keyboard, even if the build justifies it [1].
• Software is functional, not slick. VIA is lightweight and powerful for remapping and macros, but less polished than first-party apps from big gaming brands [1].
• Not a gaming keyboard. The reviewer would pick a hall-effect or optical board for competitive gaming [1].

Who it's for

• Good fit: writers, analysts, and anyone who uses a number pad daily and wants a premium, quiet-sounding mechanical board that switches between computers.
• Maybe: people new to mechanical keyboards — the familiar full-size layout makes the switch easier [1], but the price is high for a first board.
• Skip it: if you carry your keyboard, want low-profile keys, or game competitively. Compare with the Logitech MX Keys S combo for a quieter, low-profile alternative.

FAQ

Is the Keychron Q6 Pro wireless? Yes — Bluetooth 5.1 to up to three devices, or wired over USB-C [1][2].

How long does the battery last? Keychron quotes up to 300 hours with the backlight off and 100 hours at the lowest RGB setting [1].

Is the Q6 Pro hot-swappable? Yes, for 3- and 5-pin switches [1].

Bottom line

The Q6 Pro is a superbly built full-size wireless mechanical keyboard with comfortable switches, long battery life, and easy multi-device pairing. It's heavy, pricey, and its lighting is dim, but for long typing days with a number pad it's one of the best wireless boards available.
