I have no idea why, but you're now my favorite keyboard UA-camr. After one video. You're just so ... chill. I already have a K2, but I'll go through this channel for my next purchases.
As a mac user that use the magic keyboard for 8-9 years and start interest in Mech keyboard. Really love the way the K6 look and customisable. But that high is not good enough for my wrist.
I just got given a K6 for my birthday! (My friend was surprised it arrived so fast). New to this stuff, has reds currently but eventually might replace the keycaps and mod it, some more research is in order though.
I’m an economist and I work with number quiet regularly. I was on the fence about buying the k1 with 104 keys and the k4. Unfortunately you haven’t he’s the chance to talk about the k1 but the information helped me decide to go with the k4 tks a lot
Was finding it hard to understand which one was better until I stumbled on your video and it helped me decide which one. Thanks for the review, really helpful!
I think I’ve watched over 20 of your videos in the last few days and finally decided on the hot-swappable K6 and used your referral code. Thank you for your thorough reviews and all the information! Excited to dive into my first mechanical keyboard.
Love how you talk slowly, with every word enunciated. Calms me down. (I'm a fan of Tae, too, and his equally calming voice.) So. Right. My Keychron K6 (non-aluminum, non-hot-swappable, Brown switches, RGB-lit) should arrive next week (it's my gateway drug into mechanical keyboards, as it will be my first). Space on my desk is tight, so, it was either the K6 or the Akko 3084, but given what you'd laid out - the good, the uber-crucial, the bad, the annoying, the barely tolerable, the can-live-with, etc. (not just in this video, but in your other ones), it was the K6 for me. I'm a hover typer so the chonky boy's height, hopefully, will not be a problem. (And I'm getting the wristrest I saw in your vids.) Hats off to your channel.
I just got my Keychron K6 today! It's pretty lovely for the cost. I got the hot swap version and have some exotic (to me lol) switches on the way. I am super excited! Love your content so far!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I have all my stuff for lubing the switches but I am a total newbie and haven't even looked into what modding the stabailizers entails 😅 I am waiting on some Gateron Yellow Inks and some Gateron Blacks with RGB. Not super exciting but new to me!
have you guys tried the software for the 61? was considering picking one up but after hearing how bad the software is, i don't think i could live with a 60% like that. Especially when the Anne Pro 2 has it MUCH better
Another great video - your reviews are just so no-nonsense and thorough....thank you!

Today as 2nd July 2020, I bought it the Keychron K2 and they have changed the design a little bit. Now, it has a natural angle like K6 and 2 levels for kickstand for angle and cable is braided. Also, legends are similar to K6. However, I didn't see any visual changes on their website. Btw, loved your review too :) Edit: I don't know the Bluetooth version yet. If I can manage to figure out, will update here. Thx. Edit: The aluminum frame is now dark (navy) blue (just a bit shiny). Edit: The keyboard has come with keyboard plastic cover for keeping dust away.
I've been taking a look into the official website and seems like the K2 now has Bluetooth 5.1, take a look into the Connectivity Specs www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k2-wireless-mechanical-keyboard
Thanks for the review. I think I'll go with K2 + PBT keycaps. I'm switching from budget 50$ GK64 since the cost for a decent PBT keycap plus a mechanical keyboard is almost the same as getting the K2, so why not.
Just got my K2 with PBT keycap today. I can confirm that they have updated the K2 height. Now the front of the keyboard is only 22mm tall (32mm including the keycaps) and the back of the keyboard is 32mm (42mm with the keycap). They are no longer 0 angle. The keycap also looks like a tad bit shorter, looks like cherry profile I think? The K2 now also have 2 angle kickstand just like the K6. However the PBT keycap is awful looking.
Nice. I'm waiting for my K6. When I ask the seller why my order delay, they said that K6 has an issue about pressure when changing switch. It's about last design (maybe your kb) force-resistance is 4kg. So, when someone is newbie may causing the keyboard to be damaged. They changed a little bit on design to increase the force-resistance to 5.5kg. I'm preparing everything (keycap, switches,...) and ready to receive this keyboard. Your video makes me so excited :))
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I've bought a SA Maxkey Foundation set to replace the stock keycap immediately. I tested K2 before. As you said in this video, K2 and K6 used same keycaps. Stock keycaps are really terrible. Maybe, I'll find some PBT keycap to try. About switches, I'll lube and install film to stock switches first. I want to know how much a stock keyboard can be improved before change anything (except keycaps😂). Happy to hear that stock stabilizers are good (Stab of K2 I tested is very bad). Can you advise some keycap sets and linear switches to use with K6? I love the color same as your K2 keycap.
One week with my K6 with custom keycaps (DSA profile) and it feels amazing. Perfect size with all the features that I need. Hot swap will allow me custom it as I want in time. For now I'll stick with Gateron red (lubed), until I change my mind. The 2 steps additional angle make it customisable in almost every aspect. Amazing. Love it!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Hi! Do you usually lube them to reduce noise? I would like my keyboard to sound as low as possibile. I would love to get the k6 with pink sakrious, do you think it is a good idea for the purpose of reducing noise?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial In this case I've used Syncolon (PFTE) grease one. Very very little is enough. But I also have the oil (the small tube, always PFTE) and tried it on another set of switches and it works well. I've used the oil on soldered switches (on an Anne Pro 2) that I didn't want to desolder and it surprisingly worked.
Switch and Click the oil tube has some pretty pointy dispenser head and you can make a drop or two for each side after you press the switch stem. I think I saw how to do that on some video on YT. Let me know if you can’t find it.
Thanks for your reviews and your answers to my questions! You helped me make up mind and I have placed my order for a K4 RGB with Gateron Blue switches as well as the Razer Black keycaps to replace as many of the "brown" K4 keycaps as I can. Thanks again! I'll send pics after I'm done!
Do you find any difference between bluetooth 3.0 and 5.1 in terms of reconnect/pairing speed, latency etc? I have a Filco Convertible 2 TKL and a Varmilo VB21M. The Filco reconnects within 1-2 seconds the moment I hit any keys, while the VB21M takes more than 3-4 seconds. Anyway just stumbled across your channel, and immediately subbbbbbb and like!
Just ordered a K2. The 75% board market isn't as wide as the TKL and the 65% ones but it's the layout that feels the best for me. Sadly we can't have it all yet huhu (no hotswap or better ergonomic options yet) but I prioritized the layout, wireless (most modern wireless 75% outside of customs I've seen and I plan to use it between a laptop and a tablet) and a sizable battery.
This is the 2nd video I've watched in your channel and thank you so much for the very detailed reviews on these keyboards. You're so gooooood. +1 Subscriber from me. I have an incoming K2. Do you mind sharing any specific tips on picking a keycap set for the K2?
Got K6 a while ago based on reviews on this and other channels. So thanks. Got all options. Solidly built. Looks good. However, it is telling that you swapped out the keycaps on your keyboards, because for me this is the one serious issue I have with the Keychron K6. The fonts are small and thin. Symbols, numbers, punctuation can be very hard to read even with backlighting which is ineffectual. So now I fork out another $39 for replacement keycaps?
Thanks for the video. I'm still looking for a full size keyboard with Mac keys for work and I was considering the K4 but I think I'll have to hold out for the big K1 if it ever comes back in stock. Or maybe a Das Keyboard. I know I'm a bit of a dying breed but like the num pad, big right shift, and isolated arrow pad.
Hello! Been subbed since I found your channel from the Austin Keyboard build. I'm looking at the K4. I don't type much, but I do use the Num Pad, so the K4 is my choice. I see you mention using Razer keycaps on these keyboards, so I'm looking at the Razer Phantom keys. Any specifics about compatibility issues? They do come with the small Shift keycap, but I don't see the small "0" Num Pad keycap. Leaving it as it is will probably be fine for me, but are there any other keycaps you would recommend in a black theme? Great channel! finding a whole new world of stuff to do with what I've seen here.
I love your content! You are probably my favorite UA-camr. Ever. I don’t really watch UA-cam tho XD. Quick question. I’m still confused on which keyboard I should get. Should I get the K2, K4, or the K6? I know you said that the K2 had the best layout of the three, 75% if I’m not wrong. However you said that the K6 was optimal if you wanted to swap your switches. I’m not necessarily set on changing my switches, I think the Gateron Browns are fine. So should I just go for the K2? I don’t think the K6 is any more advanced than the K2 is, but idk
K6 but gf loves her K4. I also have lubed Zealios V2s and C3 kiwis that I swap between. Waiting to make my own board from scratch but this is best all rounder board for beginners who want to be able to mod it as well. Would like a K2 hotswap but gonna just build a 75% board at the end of the year as a xmas gift to myself
This video is awesome, thank you! I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard for my girlfriend, she wants rgb and good typing quality for writing and office work. I'm thinking the K4 after watching this, and I want to find those pink keycaps you have on yours cause they look great! Which are those? Thanks again for the in-depth review.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Yea they work hard on improving themselves. I went for the K1 rev. 4. I tried rev 1 and the switches were horrendous, but I am giving them another chance after seeing how they keep trying.
Loving your content so far, especially because I'm considering a keychron! Suggestion: can you mention/link the keycap sets you used in your videos? Especially for Keebs with non standard layout. These sets you use are absolutely gorgeous!
Just kinda curious, I'm in between Alpacas, Silent inks, c3 Tangerines instead of trying the black inks. Just wanted to see your thoughts about these other linear switches. Im also assuming these will be compatible with the k6
Awesome review! I love my K6 so far have had no issues with the height but yet to put it to the test when i game. Just a quick question the gaterons are 5pin correct? Do you think RGB 5pin would work on this as its hard to find 5pin in SMD! All the best and looking forward to more of your reviews!!! :D
I read you sold your K4 on eBay already, but I have a question. I noticed you had different keycaps (pink?) on the K4 you had in the video. You also have some "favorite" keycap sets. Do you remember or know whether the YMDK keycaps you linked via www.amazon.com/dp/B07PWLF56P?tag=bettyv-20&th=1 are compatible with the Keychron K4? Also, have you reviewed any wrist rests to help with the height of the keyboards? Thanks in advance...
I preferred Anne pro 2 over Keychron k2, just for the price and the strange layout of the keys with an unusual bottom line and a small right shift, which ends up limiting the customization of the keycaps. sometimes i miss the tkl layout but anyway i am very happy with my AP2
hey there - i got some of those chalk keycaps for my k6 after seeing this video. unfortunately my space bar sticks!! really weird since it seems to fit fine in your video. i contacted hk gaming already, but wondering if you have any advice? maybe im not putting it in properly? if i push it all the way down it is completely unusable and stuck, but if i just press it in lightly it sticks on every 3 or 4 presses.
If u only have to pick one with those keychron keyboards and that hyperx alloy origins core of yours which one would u pick? 😁 im buying my first mechanical keyboard and they have the same price range here in my country. I haven’t decided yet which one to get 😁 Thank you!! 😊
I'm on the look for a semi-budget 65%-60% mechanical keyboard. I'm currently using Ajazz AK33's with content blue switches (Ajazz Blues). My choices for the 65-60% KB are Keychron k6 (non hotswappable) and Anne pro 2. They're almost on the same league as prices go. At least from where I live (USD 80). I really like the looks of both KB however, Anne Pro 2 uses PBT keycaps and not ABS which is a plus for me. That said, I do love the fact that K6 has dedicated arrow keys. That said, for over all perfomance, build and quality, what can you recommend for a newbie like me. Thanks!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I appreciate the response and recommendations. Unfortunately, it's way over my budget and I'm still not looking forward to spending that much money into mechs, at least as of now.
Hi thank you for your videos. I'm new to mechanical keyboards, I'd like one that is comfortable to use for work, ideally wireless, and ability to swap keys . Are Keychron, Durgod, Ducky the ones that I should look? Ideally budget under 80usd or so
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks I'll have a look here in the UK, I think there are some Chinese brands too that I might be able to hot swap keys on perhaps
I bought a k4 with blue switches but I want to replace the key caps with black Mac keycaps. How do I find something like that because I don’t know if other keycaps will fit. Can you send me a link to black keycaps that fit k4
Hi, awesome video! Just got the k6 and i love it so far. I was wondering if you know any websites that sell matte black pbt key caps? I kind of want to replace the current k6 keycaps.
I just got my K6 and i love it. Got custom key caps and it really improved the typing experience. The stabs arent bad and it feels amazing. Best keyboard ive typed on. Awesome review, also PS the height isnt that bad. Use a wrist rest if you want but it's fine for me.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I still need it but it really is great and like it can fit many wrist rests some keys I need to rebind but like it is still great. Also, the K2 is getting a makeover with the new K6 and the K8 design on the Kickstarter right now. Are you getting that one?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial true that and if you can perhaps ask for review samples from the company later when you become bigger or just ask and see. You never know. Especially, you should ask Epomaker they have their GK68XS on Kickstarter right now I am sure they would be willing to send more reviewers one and it looks to be a great keyboard a bit similar to the K6 but with some unique features.
Switch and Click absolutely agree. I was worried as I heard a lot of people talking about the height while I was waiting to arrive and in the end is the one with the lower profile and the first I use without wist rest.
this video makes me purchased the K6 even though i already have lmao not sure whether i'm going to regret it or not lol. i use the numpad quite often, but the layout of K6 and the hotswappable makes it really tempting.
Hi, I just received my new K4 today’s. However, I have an issue where my “left shift key” output is not functioning when I combined with all the 2nd row from bottom keys (i.e zxcvbnm,./) - usually to Capital the letter Do you encounter any issue like this? Is it normal?
Hi I am set to buy the K4 because of the number pad. And based on your other videos, i liked the brown switches among the three and I would prefer to have an RGB. But because im from the Philippines, the reseller that i was able to locate only has (1) the brown switches for the white LED and (2) the blue switches for the RGB. I dont know which one to choose. Haha i am a first time buyer of mechanical keyboard, been using logitech k380 for the longest time. Thank you!!!!
Is the rgb and the aluminum worth the extra for any of the keyboards. I’m planning to get the k6 and get hotswap but idk if I should spend extra for rgb and aluminum
Hi I’m new to the mechanical keyboard area and I’ve been looking at these keyboards for a while now. I was wondering how you went about getting those color key caps? Since the website only has specific colors....?
back and forth about which size I want. I ended up with K4 because of the numpad. Looked on Ducky and Varmilo but need the wireless function for my work laptop. Also looked at Epomaker but they don't have ISO-nordic.
Thanks for the quick reply! If you did not like it, what other keyboard would you recommend for Mac users with set of features similar to k1? Does not have to be low profile necessarily, but not as high as k2. I hate the keyboard of the MacBook pro (2018 butterfly switches), and I want to buy a mechanical keyboard to work with. I have not seen other nice clean looking keyboards for Mac like the k1
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks so much for the detailed response, and I'm looking forward to your review of the K1 V4 then :) I'm also hyped for the curved keycaps. Keep up the good work, you guys make the most honest reviews!
Heya! typing this comment using K6. finally got mine. looks fine so far (stock) Comparing it to the AnnePro2 (Stock), K6 is clearly better. both have Gateron Reds and Anne Pro just have this horrible ping sound and mushy stabs that's like screaming "mod me" to me lol
@@SwitchandClickOfficial OMG tell me about it. I lubed all the kailh box whites that I modded opening it using only flat head screw. XD. Yup I'm planning on modding it. just waiting for the 2 weeks replacement warranty to be over haha
@@SwitchandClickOfficial well to be honest the only hard part for me was opening them manually lol. Well it makes it smoother and sounds better in my opinion. At least the board that I used for that is hotswappable(Lam Ang Pro). unlike anne pro 2 I have to desolder haha
Switch and Click Thank you so much for the reply! I found some people on amazon had a similar issue. I think it’s because the distance of the holes on the keycap is a bit shorter than the standard. Maybe a quality control issue.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial right that's very possible. I will just use an old OEM spacebar for now. Thank you for the replies and the recommendation of the keycap set, I like it a lot :)
Does the k6 feel noticeably lower than the k4? I was a k4 backer. I've gotten used to it but still think the bottom chin is uncomfortably tall. Considering springing for a k6 but also thinking about waiting for the k3 instead. Thoughts?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial thanks for the quick reply! do you find the k6 okay to use w/o a wrist rest? Or do you think it's still too high w/o one? Given that I've gotten used to the k4 w/o one, I figured I may not need one for a k6.
I am very impressed with the K6 board so far. For the money it seems really solid as an entry level commercial board. Going to put some ink black switches and 9009 KAT keycaps on it next.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks for your reply!. KBParadise. Those 3 are available in my country. So, I'm just thinking whether the extra shipping cost and possible tax is worth it.
Switch and Click Well, that does make a lot of sense. I assumed that the tactile feedback on low-profile keyboards with blue/brown switches would set them apart from laptop keyboards. I agree, the typing experience on high-profile keyboards must be way more satisfying
Watched your video before buying my very first mechanical keyboard. Got the K6 Hot Swap. Defo worth it. Thank you!

@@espresso2284 already have my man, you can find videos in my channel happily typing away on a K6 :D
K6 but gf loves her K4. I also have lubed Zealios V2s and C3 kiwis that I swap between. Waiting to make my own board from scratch but this is best all rounder board for beginners who want to be able to mod it as well. Would like a K2 hotswap but gonna just build a 75% board at the end of the year as a xmas gift to myself
Nice nice, all of that sounds amazing! I see you love your tactiles
great video - all the info i needed in one place :)
This video is awesome, thank you! I'm looking for a mechanical keyboard for my girlfriend, she wants rgb and good typing quality for writing and office work. I'm thinking the K4 after watching this, and I want to find those pink keycaps you have on yours cause they look great! Which are those? Thanks again for the in-depth review.
Those are the Razer PBT keycaps
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thank you!
It's almost like Keychron went "Okay, we made the thinnest keyboard... Now let's make the fattest! In fact, let's make several!"
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Yea they work hard on improving themselves. I went for the K1 rev. 4. I tried rev 1 and the switches were horrendous, but I am giving them another chance after seeing how they keep trying.
Really enjoying these vids. Cheers!
Cheers! Thank you
Awesome - thanks !!
Love your videos, how do I get your keycaps shipped to New Zealand?
are there any keycaps(other colours) suitable for the k6? Love ur vids btw👍
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks for the info!
I wish the the K2 and K6 were put side by side in the same shot!
Nice video! Where did you find the pink keycaps for K4?
💗 very knowledgeable thank you for awesome video
Loving your content so far, especially because I'm considering a keychron!
Suggestion: can you mention/link the keycap sets you used in your videos? Especially for Keebs with non standard layout. These sets you use are absolutely gorgeous!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks!! We'll miss interacting with you in the comments section soon when you get flooded by subs :)
Just kinda curious, I'm in between Alpacas, Silent inks, c3 Tangerines instead of trying the black inks. Just wanted to see your thoughts about these other linear switches. Im also assuming these will be compatible with the k6
Awesome review! I love my K6 so far have had no issues with the height but yet to put it to the test when i game. Just a quick question the gaterons are 5pin correct? Do you think RGB 5pin would work on this as its hard to find 5pin in SMD! All the best and looking forward to more of your reviews!!! :D
Switch and Click Thank you so much! Keep killing it and happy clacking 👍🏽
I read you sold your K4 on eBay already, but I have a question. I noticed you had different keycaps (pink?) on the K4 you had in the video. You also have some "favorite" keycap sets. Do you remember or know whether the YMDK keycaps you linked via www.amazon.com/dp/B07PWLF56P?tag=bettyv-20&th=1 are compatible with the Keychron K4? Also, have you reviewed any wrist rests to help with the height of the keyboards? Thanks in advance...
I preferred Anne pro 2 over Keychron k2, just for the price and the strange layout of the keys with an unusual bottom line and a small right shift, which ends up limiting the customization of the keycaps.
sometimes i miss the tkl layout but anyway i am very happy with my AP2
Does your AP2 bluetooth connection lag?
I would like to buy one for gamming, fps games, and work, do you notice any delay? is it recommended to me? thank you
hey there - i got some of those chalk keycaps for my k6 after seeing this video. unfortunately my space bar sticks!! really weird since it seems to fit fine in your video. i contacted hk gaming already, but wondering if you have any advice? maybe im not putting it in properly? if i push it all the way down it is completely unusable and stuck, but if i just press it in lightly it sticks on every 3 or 4 presses.
Probably the keycap is warped
If u only have to pick one with those keychron keyboards and that hyperx alloy origins core of yours which one would u pick? 😁 im buying my first mechanical keyboard and they have the same price range here in my country. I haven’t decided yet which one to get 😁 Thank you!! 😊
Switch and Click thank you! 😊
I got the same keycaps as your K2. But it seems that the home button is of the wrong size, isn't it? They only provided 1 size for it.
I'm on the look for a semi-budget 65%-60% mechanical keyboard. I'm currently using Ajazz AK33's with content blue switches (Ajazz Blues). My choices for the 65-60% KB are Keychron k6 (non hotswappable) and Anne pro 2. They're almost on the same league as prices go. At least from where I live (USD 80). I really like the looks of both KB however, Anne Pro 2 uses PBT keycaps and not ABS which is a plus for me. That said, I do love the fact that K6 has dedicated arrow keys. That said, for over all perfomance, build and quality, what can you recommend for a newbie like me. Thanks!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I appreciate the response and recommendations. Unfortunately, it's way over my budget and I'm still not looking forward to spending that much money into mechs, at least as of now.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I see. Thank you, you've earned a sub.
Love this review, just subbed
Np ur channel is great!
Hi thank you for your videos. I'm new to mechanical keyboards, I'd like one that is comfortable to use for work, ideally wireless, and ability to swap keys . Are Keychron, Durgod, Ducky the ones that I should look? Ideally budget under 80usd or so
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Ah OK, I was thinking more generally, maybe under $100? Thank you
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks I'll have a look here in the UK, I think there are some Chinese brands too that I might be able to hot swap keys on perhaps
keychron Q1 personally is my favorite
I bought a k4 with blue switches but I want to replace the key caps with black Mac keycaps. How do I find something like that because I don’t know if other keycaps will fit. Can you send me a link to black keycaps that fit k4
Hi, awesome video! Just got the k6 and i love it so far. I was wondering if you know any websites that sell matte black pbt key caps? I kind of want to replace the current k6 keycaps.
Hi! Can i ask if you can mod k6 to have a delete key?
Hey nice review I have a k4 and want to change the key caps got what type of key caps do I need any certain ones?
I just got my K6 and i love it. Got custom key caps and it really improved the typing experience. The stabs arent bad and it feels amazing. Best keyboard ive typed on. Awesome review, also PS the height isnt that bad. Use a wrist rest if you want but it's fine for me.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I even went from the K1 low profile to the K6. You guys have a great channel and i hope it grows even more!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I still need it but it really is great and like it can fit many wrist rests some keys I need to rebind but like it is still great. Also, the K2 is getting a makeover with the new K6 and the K8 design on the Kickstarter right now. Are you getting that one?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial true that and if you can perhaps ask for review samples from the company later when you become bigger or just ask and see. You never know. Especially, you should ask Epomaker they have their GK68XS on Kickstarter right now I am sure they would be willing to send more reviewers one and it looks to be a great keyboard a bit similar to the K6 but with some unique features.
Switch and Click absolutely agree. I was worried as I heard a lot of people talking about the height while I was waiting to arrive and in the end is the one with the lower profile and the first I use without wist rest.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I also have an Anne Pro 2 and it is higher. It's very popular and never heard anyone complaining about its height :)
K8... 💕
What keycaprs are you using? Those are beautiful!
Which ones?
Switch and Click all of your replacement keycaps. Especially those for the K2 and K6. 😍
Check out the budget pbt keycaps link in the description, it lists them all out
Will you be reviewing the new K1 v.4?
this video makes me purchased the K6 even though i already have lmao
not sure whether i'm going to regret it or not lol. i use the numpad quite often, but the layout of K6 and the hotswappable makes it really tempting.
I got two K6s so no regrets here lol, use one with zealios vs and the second with C3 Kiwis. Only wish it came with an all aluminum case
@@kbar11 how is the keyboard height? do you need a wrist rest?
@@tino_ I used a wrist rest already before getting these so I didn't notice a difference. You don't have to but it's recommended
I really need to get out of these keyboard addiction
Hi,
I just received my new K4 today’s. However, I have an issue where my “left shift key” output is not functioning when I combined with all the 2nd row from bottom keys (i.e zxcvbnm,./) - usually to Capital the letter
Do you encounter any issue like this? Is it normal?
No big right Shift no buy for me. Sounds stupid but i cant get used to a small right shift :P Nice video though. As always.
i still find right shift in general weird. i get very little use out of it compared to left one. i don‘t mind smaller shift.
Thanks a lot 👍👍👍👍
Hi I am set to buy the K4 because of the number pad. And based on your other videos, i liked the brown switches among the three and I would prefer to have an RGB. But because im from the Philippines, the reseller that i was able to locate only has (1) the brown switches for the white LED and (2) the blue switches for the RGB. I dont know which one to choose. Haha i am a first time buyer of mechanical keyboard, been using logitech k380 for the longest time. Thank you!!!!
excellent video! used your code
Is the rgb and the aluminum worth the extra for any of the keyboards. I’m planning to get the k6 and get hotswap but idk if I should spend extra for rgb and aluminum
Hi I’m new to the mechanical keyboard area and I’ve been looking at these keyboards for a while now. I was wondering how you went about getting those color key caps? Since the website only has specific colors....?
Thank you! By the way I really like your video, you make things easy to understand! 👍🏼👍🏼
back and forth about which size I want. I ended up with K4 because of the numpad. Looked on Ducky and Varmilo but need the wireless function for my work laptop. Also looked at Epomaker but they don't have ISO-nordic.
Are those chalk keycaps on K6 in cherry profile? Do you have interference on them with north facing switches?
hi! great video! can you do a review of the latest Keychron K1 V4?
Thanks for the quick reply!
If you did not like it, what other keyboard would you recommend for Mac users with set of features similar to k1? Does not have to be low profile necessarily, but not as high as k2. I hate the keyboard of the MacBook pro (2018 butterfly switches), and I want to buy a mechanical keyboard to work with.
I have not seen other nice clean looking keyboards for Mac like the k1
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks so much for the detailed response, and I'm looking forward to your review of the K1 V4 then :) I'm also hyped for the curved keycaps.
Keep up the good work, you guys make the most honest reviews!
Have you ever heard about Jingzao Keychron keyboard? It is fake keychron or same just rebranding? They also have K2,K6, K4 series. Thanks
Haven't heard of it
does keychron k6 has brightness and volume control? how does it work? i’m confuse which one to get k2 or k6
I'm very late but I hope you'll respond. K6 or the gk68xs? big fan btw :)
K6
But which un-modded keyboard do you like the best? Not many of us are going to mod our keyboard.
K2
i hope keychron comes out with a hot swappable version of the K2
Nice review 👌
Heya! typing this comment using K6. finally got mine. looks fine so far (stock) Comparing it to the AnnePro2 (Stock), K6 is clearly better. both have Gateron Reds and Anne Pro just have this horrible ping sound and mushy stabs that's like screaming "mod me" to me lol
@@SwitchandClickOfficial OMG tell me about it. I lubed all the kailh box whites that I modded opening it using only flat head screw. XD. Yup I'm planning on modding it. just waiting for the 2 weeks replacement warranty to be over haha
@@SwitchandClickOfficial well to be honest the only hard part for me was opening them manually lol. Well it makes it smoother and sounds better in my opinion. At least the board that I used for that is hotswappable(Lam Ang Pro). unlike anne pro 2 I have to desolder haha
@@SwitchandClickOfficial and yeah btw my kailh box whites are not clicky. I removed the click bars and made them linears :3
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Yup! It's Philippines only. Awesome! I hope you will like it too :)
Thank you for your videos. I also put the same keycap set on my K6, but the spacebar can't pop back up. Did you have the same issue?
Switch and Click Thank you so much for the reply! I found some people on amazon had a similar issue. I think it’s because the distance of the holes on the keycap is a bit shorter than the standard. Maybe a quality control issue.
@@SwitchandClickOfficial right that's very possible. I will just use an old OEM spacebar for now. Thank you for the replies and the recommendation of the keycap set, I like it a lot :)
Does the k6 feel noticeably lower than the k4? I was a k4 backer. I've gotten used to it but still think the bottom chin is uncomfortably tall. Considering springing for a k6 but also thinking about waiting for the k3 instead. Thoughts?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial thanks for the quick reply! do you find the k6 okay to use w/o a wrist rest? Or do you think it's still too high w/o one? Given that I've gotten used to the k4 w/o one, I figured I may not need one for a k6.
How much does your batteries last? I’m thinking mine came defective it probably lasts a week, I’m not a power user
About 4-5 days for me if I don't charge it at all
I am very impressed with the K6 board so far. For the money it seems really solid as an entry level commercial board. Going to put some ink black switches and 9009 KAT keycaps on it next.
Where did you buy the keycaps for all of them? I'm planning to switch all the keycaps to all white. Thanks
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I'm new when it comes to keyboards but does any keycaps works in K2? Like when you're chaging it.
thank you!
Can you review the Walmart sold Onn mechanical rbg keyboard? They are selling for 35, with clicky switches.
How is the build quality compared to others like vortex, Ducky, or KBP?
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Thanks for your reply!.
KBParadise.
Those 3 are available in my country. So, I'm just thinking whether the extra shipping cost and possible tax is worth it.
Hey will you do a review on the keychron k2 version 2 that just came out.
Can the keyboard keys for the K4 be modified by other colors?
Hi. can you recommend good PBT keycaps set for K2 V2 thanks...
@switch and click what key you used for the top right corner? I have the same key caps
Mac user in France, can we customize the keyboard in azerty mode ?
Very good videos, thank you.
Thanks, now I know Karabiner. Very useful application for keyboard enthusiasts.

Have you checked out K1 v4? They've updated the look and added an option for brown switches. It's available on pre-order ATM.
Switch and Click Haha, cool!
That's true, my only concern with K2/K4/K6 was their height and K1 seems to be the perfect solution to it
Switch and Click Well, that does make a lot of sense.
I assumed that the tactile feedback on low-profile keyboards with blue/brown switches would set them apart from laptop keyboards.
I agree, the typing experience on high-profile keyboards must be way more satisfying
Switch and Click Hmm, good to know. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!
