Keychron Silently Launches P6 Ultra With ZMK Firmware and Quick-Disassembly Case

Keychron has been steadily updating its mechanical keyboard line-up with ZMK firmware and its new Silk POM mechanical switches. One of the more recent updates is the Keychron P6 Ultra, which features a full-size layout, 8 kHz polling, and an understated design with a neat party trick. The hallmark feature of the P6 Ultra is its quick-disassembly ball-catch closure mechanism, which allows for toolless disassembly of the aluminium case. This is becoming more common in mechanical keyboards, because it allows you to more easily get at the internals for modifications, although it does introduce a drawback in that it makes the front height slightly taller—the P2 Ultra measures in at 22.25 mm as a result. Aside from the quick-release closure, the P6 Ultra also features a programmable knob, and the entire keyboard is customizable and programmable in Keychron Launcher, the brand's VIA-like web driver.

The P6 Ultra is available on Keychron's online store for $199.99 and on Amazon for $179.99, and it can be purchased with the Silk POM Red (linear), Brown (tactile), and Banana (early-bump tactile) switches. It is only available in black, and it comes with black Cherry profile double-shot PBT keycaps with gray and orange accent keys. Keychron says the 4,000 mAh battery in the P6 Ultra is capable of keeping it going for 660 hours on a single charge, at least without the backlighting disabled. With the backlighting on its lowest brightness, that drops to 200 hours per Keychron. It features both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity for convenience and broad compatibility. Unlike many of Keychron's other mechanical keyboards, this seems to be based on a design similar to that of the Lemokey P2 HE, which also features the same silicone bean gasket mount and quick-disassembly feature.

Broken Processor
They should focus on fixing the ghosting and improve software.

Well, ANUTHA full-size keeb....w.T.h.... how dare they :D

Anyways, it looks nice with good features, but is a tad pricey IMHO...

And it seems very similar to my Logi G-613's, sans a few extra keys here & there.....

I have the Q6 Pro. They're like 6-7 pounds of CNC-machined aluminum, swappable key switches, programmable, firmware updateable, removable cable, Mac-PC switchable, and double as an anti-burglar weapon. You could literally take someone out from blunt force trauma, so they're pretty impressive.

I've replaced the switches on mine with Durock Silent Shrimp T6 tactiles, it's pretty amazing. Also, I love full-size keyboards, but I'm old-school.

Well the G613 runs about 3.2lbs, so not as heavy, but heavy enough for me, as I tend to NOT move them around much other than when cleaning my desk or something....

And I am satisfied with the switches as they are, and when they eventually wear out, I'll just toss it & get the next new on off of my parts rack, as I have several still BNIB for just that purpose, and I am also "old school" as far as full-sized keebs are concerned. I utterly despise all those little, chopped-off, mini-me gamr tois that are so popular nowadayz.....hahaha :D
