Next-generation 8K wireless performance
The Keychron V6 Ultra 8K is a 100% full-size custom mechanical keyboard engineered for serious performance. It delivers a high-speed 8000 Hz polling rate in both wired and 2.4 GHz wireless modes for the lowest possible input lag and ultra-responsive typing and gaming. Powered by open-source ZMK firmware on a capable Arm-based chip with 1MB of flash, it pairs that speed with the flexibility custom keyboard enthusiasts across South Africa expect.
Connect your way, for months at a time
Flexible triple-mode connectivity lets you link up over 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.3 — pairing with up to three devices — or a USB Type-C wired connection. A large 4000 mAh battery keeps the V6 Ultra 8K running for up to 660 hours with the backlight off (around four months of typical daily use), and you can keep working or gaming while it charges, so you’re never tethered when you don’t want to be.
A refined, acoustically tuned typing experience
Every layer is tuned for sound and feel. A gasket mount design with a PC plate softens each keystroke and reduces acoustic resonance, while multiple layers of internal foam deliver a deep, satisfying sound profile. Pre-lubed Keychron Silk POM Red linear switches glide smoothly for a consistent, quiet keystroke, newly enhanced screw-in stabilisers keep larger keys stable and rattle-free, and OSA-profile double-shot PBT keycaps resist shine and stop the legends fading.
Endlessly customisable, inside and out
Built to be personalised, the V6 Ultra 8K is fully hot-swappable — change out almost any 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style switch without soldering. South-facing RGB backlighting offers 22+ presets plus advanced Per-key RGB and Mix RGB lighting, including a static white option. Using the browser-based Keychron Launcher, you can remap keys, record macros and fine-tune lighting on Windows, macOS or Linux — with no software to install.
Made for Mac and Windows alike
Designed with Mac users in mind while keeping full Windows compatibility, the V6 Ultra 8K includes both Mac and Windows keycaps and a system toggle, letting you save two separate layouts — one for each system. With full NKRO in both wired and wireless modes and broad compatibility across macOS, Windows and Linux, it slots seamlessly into any setup.
