Know before you buy
These switches use Hall Effect technology, which detects the physical distance of the key press rather than a mechanical contact point. This allows for features like Rapid Trigger, where the key resets the moment you release it, providing a significant advantage in fast-paced gaming.
The Q6 Max is designed specifically for magnetic switches. Because these rely on Hall Effect sensors, you cannot replace them with standard mechanical switches like Cherry MX or Gateron G Pro, as those lack the necessary magnets to trigger the sensors.
QMK/VIA is an open-source tool that allows you to remap every key, create custom macros, and adjust lighting layers directly through your browser or the desktop app. Your settings are saved to the keyboard's onboard memory, so they remain active even if you plug the keyboard into a different computer.
Yes, its full-size layout includes a dedicated number pad, making it excellent for data entry and productivity tasks. The adjustable actuation also lets you set a deeper, more deliberate feel for typing, then switch to a sensitive, rapid-fire setting for gaming.
Yes, the keyboard features triple-mode connectivity. You can connect via 2.4 GHz wireless for a low-latency gaming experience, use Bluetooth 5.2 to pair with up to three devices simultaneously, or use the included USB-C cable for a wired connection.
The Q6 Max is fully compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. It includes a physical toggle switch on the back to easily swap between Mac and Windows layouts, and it comes with keycaps for both systems.
