First Keychron purchase: K10 Max or V6 Max?
I do have a K2 Pro myself, so I'm not completely off the ball about this, but I've really soured on the whole K and C series boards. They seem kind of phoned in, even my beloved K2 Pro is kind of wonky. It's like the V series is where they really hit their stride. On the subject of tactile feel, the Jupiter Banana switches are some of the nicest non-silenced switches I've tried. But a barebones and some silent tactiles are also an idea. More on reddit.com

K10 Max quality/issues when used in wired mode only?
I have a K10 Max, US version. I think this is a great keyboard, and have had 0 issues with it in the 6 months that I have had it. The keycaps that Keychron uses are very nice. They are a unique profile unique to them, but it does fit your requirements. None of the lettering is moved around for shine through ( there is no shine through ), no pointy edges. They are rounded on the edges and feel very nice to type on. The keycaps are one of my favorite parts of the keyboard. The switches that the K10 come with probably don't fit you requirement for being very light, so you would probably be looking at buying a new set of switches. I had initially tried a set of outemu silent lemon switches in the K10 when I got it. They are very very light silent switches, and they worked great. Just turned out to be a little bit too light for me. If you need light silent switches for an office situation, outemu lemon or peach switches are a very budget friendly option. The K10 max does come with a dongle for 2.4ghz wireless. It works fine in this mode and was easy to configure. I really only used it for a day or two when I got the keyboard just because I wanted to make sure it functioned, but since this is an office keyboard for me and I don't feel like having to charge it, etc. I just use it in wired mode all the time. Overall I really like the K10 max and would purchase another again. More on reddit.com

V6 max vs K10 max
Comparing them, I note these differences: V6 Max has a knob V6 Max comes with Gateron Jupiter switches (claimed 80 million keystroke lifetime), the K10 Max comes with Keychron Super switches (claimed 50 million keystroke lifetime) V6 Max comes with both USB-A and USB-C dongles, the K10 Max has only a USB-A dongle V6 Max has magnetic storage spots for the two dongles. If the K10 Max has that, it's not mentioned V6 Max has gasket mount, K10 Max does not K10 Max has more layers of acoustic foam K10 Max has three independent LED indicators above the arrow keys for Power, Mode (BT/2.4), and Caps Lock V6 Max has a polycarbonate plate, K10 Max has a steel plate I'm sure I've missed some! For me, the extra USB-C dongle, the knob, the gasket mount, the PC plate, the better switches and a savings of $20 makes the V6 Max the choice. YMMV! More on reddit.com

r/Keychron on Reddit: First Keychron purchase: K10 Max or V6 Max?
November 4, 2024 -

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy my first Keychron keyboard ever. I've done some research I came to the conclusion that is probably either K10 Max or V6 Max, they seem to differ a lot. While V6 Max has more features and additional dongle the K10 Max has steel plate and seems recently released.

What do you guys suggest? Feel free to add recommendations other than the ones I'm aiming for.

My intentions with the keyboard is mostly for coding, gaming and Blender. I want a more tactile feeling but without making every keystroke sound like a bullet.

If you have Amazon. Get both and test which one you like. And return the one you don't like. I have 4, all stock. K10 max with brown switches. V6 max with red switch. And V6 max with brown switches. And Q6 max with banana switches. I'm keeping Q6 max and K10 max. I originally had V6 max, red switches. Didn't like how spacebar and all keys felt. So I got the K10 max. I really liked how it felt with the brown switches. So I ordered the V6 max with brown switches. I was disappointed, it felt cheap like the V6 max red switches. I have no intention of using knob, so I can't comment on how valuable it is. I even put the switches and the keycaps from the K10 max into the V6 max. It still didn't feel premium. I also did it with the Q6 max, and putting it into the V6 max. It still didn't feel good. The good thing about the V6 max, is its weight, its light. You can pick it up with one hand easily. No matter how many descriptions you read online or watch videos about it. All these stats/specs, won't matter, until you actually type and use it. I suggest just ordering both at a store that has good returns. And try them out.

r/Keychron on Reddit: K10 Max quality/issues when used in wired mode only?
May 24, 2025 -

Summary

Looking for 100% (or 80% TKL) mechanical keyboard with light linear switches, ISO Nordic layout, PBT keycaps. Will always be used in wired mode and never moved around. Must be hot-swappable and support all types of keycap profiles, should I choose to replace them. Full wishlist in the Details section below.

Could the K10 Max be the one for me, despite all of the recent negativity surrounding Keychron at the moment? It seems to be solid (at least heavy), is not gasket-mounted, will always be connected using USB-C, and will never be moved around. Also, I do not intend to use it for gaming or program it. I just need a solid, reliable keyboard for office (programming) work. Using it like that, should I still expect problems?

Details

Living in Denmark, I have very few options when it comes to mechanical keyboards that satisfy the following criteria:

- Layout: ISO Nordic
- Narrow bezel in front

- PBT keycaps.
- Medium height profile: Cherry, OEM, XDA, OSA, or similar.
- Black on white/beige/gray lettering.
- No sharp edges on the keycaps.
- If prebuilt, lettering on keycaps should not be moved to the top (number row especially) because of any northfacing lighting.

- Linear switches with low actuation force (<= 45).
- Southfacing LEDs (if any). If northfacing, must not interfere with keycaps of any kind, such as Cherry profile.
- Shine-through irrelevant.
- No scratchiness or ping.
- Plastic top. Not metal. Not naked like SteelSeries Apex.
- Not gasket-mounted.

- Full-size 100% or TKL 80%. Not 96% or 75%

- USB-C.
- 2.4GHz must be available if wireless is supported.

- Hot-swappable.

- F1-F12 in their traditional positions. Not mashed together to make room for a knob or extra special keys.

- Weight around 1.2 kg or more for 100% fully assembled.

Most brand names in the full 100% or 80% TKL sizes are pretty terrible in one or more respects.

As far as I can tell, based on that leaves me with:

- Keychron K10 Max.

- Ducky One 3

- Varmilo VPT109

- Akko 5108B

The K10 Max seems to check the most boxes.

The SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3 looked like a contender until I learned that it could be problematic to replace the keycaps, seeing that I know that I do not like the keycaps it comes with.

I am willing to pay extra for a different set of keycaps. Barebones offerings in 100% or 80% TKL sizes are virtually non-existent in Danish webshops (or German Amazon).

r/Keychron on Reddit: K10 Max vs V2 vs Pro
May 10, 2025 -

Hi all, I have been doing a lot of research on finding a good full-size wireless keyboard and I have decided on Keychron.

Although there are 3 different models for the K10. Max, V2 and Pro. Looking at these 3 models they look almost the exact same and are advertised like they are the same thing.

Is someone able to help explain the differences between the three models?

Some differences: K10 Max : There is a risk of running into the Keychron 2024 production quality issues with key chattering and missed keystrokes ( an example ). It has the blinding light problem. It is the heaviest of the bunch, at about 1360 g (15% heavier than the V6 and 40% heavier than the V6 Max). Unless mobility is a concern, heavy is a quality all by itself. K10 V2 . It doesn't have the blinding light problem. It doesn't have the four extra macro keys above the numeric keypad . The source code has not been released, though it is expected to appear here . The source code is required for any compile-time configuration , say, increasing the space and number of macros for Via macros (the default is wholly inadequate for any serious use of macros), and support for mouse actions in Via macros. Vial also has support for mouse actions in (Vial) macros, but it is infeasible to get on to any of the wireless keyboards (though not impossible ) K10 Pro : It is a solid choice, and there is little risk of running into the Keychron 2024 production quality issues with key chattering and missed keystrokes, but it can be considered obsolete. For example, the software support is lackluster (e.g, it didn't get the the early 2025 Keychron keyboard main firmware updates ) and the battery state can not be shown in the operating system (as it only supports Bluetooth 2.0, despite what is claimed). Do expect a hefty discount, say, 50%, as, for example, resellers want to get rid of stock before it becomes unsellable (due to the newer models). It is Bluetooth only. It has the blinding light problem. All are without a knob and, as for any wireless keyboard, Vial support is infeasible ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1fra7jn/comment/lpbilgj/ ) (though not impossible ). These have a knob (but not on a corner where it ought to be): V6 . Wired-only, thus Vial is a realistic option and the keyboard also gets the very newest features in QMK (as its source code is part of the main QMK project). It may no longer be in production, so get it while you can. It has the blinding light problem. Apart from the blinding light, it is a very good choice if you can live without the wireless capability. V6 Max . It has the blinding light problem. Unlike the others, it comes with two '2.4  GHz ' dongles (one for each USB plug type). There is a risk of running into the Keychron 2024 production quality issues with key chattering and missed keystrokes . For all: Probably only the older models have an option of shine through keycaps ( ABS ); the newer models tend to only come with opaque PBT keycaps (thus, the RGB light is completely useless (without getting very-hard-to-get third-party keycaps)) Conclusion There isn't an ideal combination. The ideal full-size keyboard would have: support for both the latest QMK features and by Vial . For the foreseeable future and practically, this means a wired-only keyboard. Have four extra macro keys above the numeric keypad. Or rather, three extra macro keys and a knob. Or maybe the knob somewhat separate from the keys (for example, detachable as on the BeQuiet keyboard ). Have extra macro keys to the left. For example, five macro keys. Or even 18 macro keys, as on the Corsair K95 RGB . North-facing RGB LEDs (thus without the blinding light ). This would also make it much more feasible to get third-party shine through keycaps, especially in an ISO variant Come with shine through PBT keycaps (not forced, as an option) Have a knob in the upper right Have a roller type knob, without clicks (as the main use case is volume control) An option to remove the knob (should it not be required). And perhaps use the slot as a hardware extension port. Have a function key row not crammed by a knob The source code is released in a timely manner. Doh!

The K10 QMK (aka V2) and Pro are similar, except the K10 QMK has north-facing RGB while the other two are south. The K10 Max adds 2.4GHz connectivity (I highly recommend this if you're planning to use the boards wirelessly). The other two are just wired+Bluetooth. They all are available in hotswappable and non-hotswap varients, so make sure you pay attention to the version you're purchasing.
