Q6 HE 8K Magnetic Switch Keyboard (Q6HW-M1)

So you're looking for 75–100%. I can recommend something from the Keychron Q series. Plenty of really clean boards there, and they have keycaps with secondary legends for stuff like media control. A lot of them also have macro columns that can be assigned to various functions.

Biggest difference is no wireless connectivity on the 8k versions, but they're also slimmer, which is nice for comfort. You also have way more switch options for the new keyboards, since they work with n-pole switches, like Gateron Jade Pros and Wooting Lekker Tikkens (I've specifically tested those). I'd go with the 8k version every day of the week. 

Keychron Q6 HE. HE switches are the new hot stuff for gaming. Alternatively, K10 HE.

Yes and no. The original Q and K HE series are limited to S-pole switches (there's some selection, not a lot), but the new Q HE 8K series are compatible with regular N-pole switches, so they should work with the majority of common HE switches out there (even if the Keychron website lies to you about this). I have tested the Gateron Jade Pros and Wooting Lekker Tikkens in a Q1 HE 8K, and they work just fine after a calibration. That's why I recommended the Q HE 8K specifically.

Be careful, those silent Lynx switches will only work with S-pole HE keyboards. So, the K2 HE and the original Q HE series keyboards. The only differences between the Q HE 8K and the Q HE are that the 8K versions have a slightly lower front height, which makes them genuinely more comfortable to use, the 8K versions don't have wireless, and they have a slightly different look to them, which is personal, preference. The stock Ultra Fast Lime switches also only have 3.35 mm total travel, which is not a lot but you get used to it if you want to use them.

I purchased both and kept the 8K. If you're okay with a wired keyboard, I suggest the 8K version. To me, the new lime switches sound and feel better than the regular HE. They're clackier but still a low register, so very satisfying imo. Also, the new 8K has HE switches that are a bit more universal, so you could theoretically change those later if you want. The regular HE has a much less used switch that limits your options a bit. The regular HE is great, but I like my RGB lighting on max, so battery was lasting like 3 days max for me. I decided I'd rather not bother with a battery at that point, so the 8K being wired was a benefit for me without having to worry about the battery wearing sooner from being plugged in all of the time..

keychron iso v6/q6 and get silent tactile switches to swap in. silent pre-builts are few and far between https://wiki.keyboard.gay/SWITCHES.html#switches-the-switch-meta you can turn off rgb not a ton of iso/fullsized/silent boards in general

monsgeek m5 or keychron q6 not a ton of fullsized boards in general, and not a ton of iso/Swedish layout boards in you can turn off the lights, and they are heavier since they are full aluminum boards

keychron v6/q6 or monsgeek m5 and put cherry mx speed/silver switches in not a ton of fullsized boards in general getting a hotswap board and putting in your preferred switches will get you where you want to go

I have the keychron q6 he and before that the nuphy halo 96v2 and royal kludge m87. All good tbh. Personally my favorite are the m87 and the q6 he. While the nuphy was amazing for typing I really didn’t like it for gaming. Not giving any suggestions fyi I am not a keyboard know it all lol. I just like the q6 he right now but I know it’s more expensive. But the other two weren’t bad either. Stay away from gaming keyboards. I had the Logitech g915 and altho it had good and fast connectivity everything else sucked.

OK so…. 1. Double typing can be a result of tired out switches, but can also (perhaps more commonly) be caused by dirt and dust or loose connections on the PCB (circuit board) especially if your keyboard is hot swappable (you can easily remove and replace the switches without having to solder them in), it’s really easy to push too hard or bend the board and pop out a connection. Also software (firmware and drivers typically) can end up old and conflicted and can cause problems. Just FYI. 2. It sounds like you need a sturdy board and the Keychron is a hefty chunk of alumninium, so you’ll def get that. I’d always urge you to consider getting a slimmer board so that your setup is more convenient to use, the next size down is an 1800 with 96% of the keys like the the Keychron Q5. 3. When it comes to switches, there are currently 3 main types (that aren’t bog standard membrane) and there are two you’ll be interested in - standard MX switches and HE (magnetic) switches. Effectively the switches in most keyboards are “analogue” in that they work by connecting two metal terminals when you press them (MX) and performance is therefore only improvable by improving the transmission of that signal to the computer - the polling rate - the Q6 is ok compared to most gaming boards but the Q5/Q6 Max are better. Hall Effect (HE) switches activate when a magnetic field detects that a certain point on the keypress is reached and there’s an instant voltage change. These are popular now for gaming because you can set that activation point wherever you like and also have multiple on a single key. Keychron does an HE version of both the Q5 and Q6 which both also have the same 1000Hz polling rate as the max. In terms of switches wearing out, if you get a hot swappable board you can just replace them. The HE boards Keychron makes are only compatible with one type of switch (Gateron double rails) which are actually pretty good, and the lack of mechanical action makes it much less likely they’ll wear out. For gaming MX / Cherry switches ( not to be confused with cherry profile keycaps) there are two types people like for gaming, linear or tactile with a definite bump when you press them. That’s really a matter of personal taste (I can’t stand linear switches and find my fingers splaying out across the board in need of some sort of rebound) but this is where you get to sample a few, read around the subject and try them out. The Keychron keycaps are all pretty good. 4. RGB - if you mean north facing (shines straight through the top of the keycap) or south facing, north facing rgbs can interfere with certain types of keycap and generally south facing are actually considered better (they’re also much brighter from the users perspective). Keychron does a side printed OSA profile set and their RGB customisation has 22 types of setting plus adjustable brightness, speed on each of them etc. Generally, the more performance orientated the board, the less likely you’re going to get north facing rgbs. Hope this helped!

Ok, I just placed my order for a Q6. I feel like I just bet €250 on a single number in a casino roulette..

I'll probably go with this suggestion for the Q6 specifically tbh. My S/O already has a keychron she likes. May just end up swapping keycaps or switches if I need to later. I do wish that the regular Q or the pro Q were available. I like premium feel but not that extra premium price lol. Appreciate the advice!
