Keychron, the innovative leader in keyboard technology, announces the UK availability of two new additions to its acclaimed lineup: the Keychron Q6 Max Full-Size Wireless Keyboard and the Keychron K5 Max QMK Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard ISO Layout Collection. These models redefine premium keyboard design, offering unmatched versatility, durability, and performance for work, gaming, and creativity.
For users seeking a full-size layout, the Keychron Q6 Max, is a wireless QMK/VIA keyboard that brings a powerful combination of functionality and sound quality. Constructed from the same 6063 aluminium, the Q6 Max exudes refinement through a CNC-machined body, paired with double-gasket mounting and reinforced multi-layer acoustic foam (IXPE, PET, and Latex) for premium typing acoustics.
The Q6 Max supports 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.1 connections, enabling high-speed wireless functionality alongside a wired Type-C option. The keyboard's Arm Cortex-M4 processor ensures consistent 1000 Hz polling on 2.4 GHz and wired modes, making it ideal for both work and gaming. The Q6 Max also includes South-Facing RGB lighting, customizable with 22 RGB modes, and a hot-swappable design compatible with most MX-style mechanical switches. These elements give users the flexibility to fine-tune the Q6 Max to their preferred typing style without the need for soldering.
Q6 Max Main Features:
The K5 Max blends sleek aesthetics with powerful functionality, offering a 100% full-size layout and advanced features that cater to both productivity and gaming enthusiasts. At 31% slimmer than traditional mechanical keyboards, the K5 Max utilizes innovative low-profile Gateron mechanical switches that maintain a tactile and responsive typing experience. Its lightweight aluminium base ensures durability without compromising portability, while the advanced acoustic foam mod—featuring IXPE and latex layers—provides a whisper-quiet typing experience with enhanced comfort and switch support.
Connectivity is a standout feature of the K5 Max, which supports Bluetooth 5.1, a 2.4 GHz wireless connection with a 1000 Hz polling rate, and a wired USB-C option. Users can seamlessly switch between three devices, making it a versatile choice for multitaskers. The keyboard is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux and offers options for various layouts such as UK, German, Swiss, Nordic, and more.
Customization is also effortless with QMK firmware and the Keychron Launcher web configurator, allowing users to reprogram every key, create macros, and tailor the keyboard to their exact needs. The hot-swappable design further elevates flexibility, enabling quick switch replacements without soldering.
The K5 Max also comes equipped with double-shot PBT keycaps for exceptional durability, oil resistance, and fade-free legends. For those who prefer a backlit experience, the keyboard features over 22 RGB backlight settings and a static white option, which can be fine-tuned for brightness, hue, and effect speed.
Redesigned stabilizers ensure consistent and wobble-free performance on larger keys, such as the spacebar and Enter key, enhancing the overall typing experience. For ergonomic comfort, the K5 Max offers three adjustable typing angles, catering to long hours of use.
Underneath its sleek exterior lies a robust Arm architecture MCU with 256 KB of Flash, delivering a 1000 Hz polling rate for near-zero latency in 2.4 GHz and wired modes, even in competitive gaming scenarios.
K5 Max Main features:
Both models are fully compatible with Keychron's newly introduced Keychron Launcher software, a web-based platform tailored for easy setup and customizability. Keychron Launcher allows users to remap keys, set macros, adjust RGB lighting, and update firmware—all without downloading additional software. Designed with user input, the platform offers a more accessible and user-friendly interface than VIA, ensuring users can maximize the functionality of their Keychron keyboards from the moment they're unboxed.
