And there's a volume knob you can tap to instantly mute your computer. It's an especially nice touch. </p><p>In his <a href="https://www.techradar.com/pro/keychron-v6-max-customizable-mechanical-keyboard-review" target="_blank">five-star review</a>, our expert Steve said, "if I could, I’d sit at my desk all day and all night just to feel that pleasing feedback, listening to the satisfying clackety-clack as my fingers depress the keys. It might just be the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/best/best-business-keyboards" target="_blank">best office keyboard</a> I’ve ever used."</p><p>He also added, "For me, it’s one of the <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/peripherals/what-keyboard-10-best-keyboards-compared-1028011" target="_blank">best keyboards</a> around, perfectly positioned for productivity-minded professionals, students, programmers — effectively anyone who’s going to be spending a lot of time at their desk. On that score, it delivers an awesome experience."</p><h2 id="price-context-amp-historical-value">Price context & historical value</h2><p>The reduction from $119.99 to $109.19 represents a relatively modest saving of $10.80, or approximately 9%. That's not a huge discount, but any price cut on such a great keyboard is worth grabbing. I've seen it cheaper in the past, but only as low as $95.99, so you're paying just $13.20 more than the previous low.</p><h2 id="should-you-buy-it">Should you buy it?</h2><p>✅ <strong>Buy the Keychron V6 Max mechanical keyboard if... </strong></p><p>You regularly switch between several computers or want a keyboard that works across different operating systems. The V6 Max supports 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1 and wired USB-C connections. Bluetooth allows you to pair up to three devices, while the 2.4GHz and wired modes support a 1,000Hz polling rate.</p><p>❌ <strong>Skip the Keychron V6 Max mechanical keyboard</strong> <strong>if... </strong></p><p>You have limited desk space or regularly carry your keyboard between locations. Its 108-key layout includes a dedicated number pad, so it occupies considerably more room than a compact mechanical keyboard.</p><ul><li><strong>In the US: </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/PC-Gaming-Keyboards/b/ref=dp_bc_4?ie=UTF8&node=402051011" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Shop all keyboards at Amazon</a></li><li><strong>In the UK: </strong><a href="https://www.argos.co.uk/browse/technology/computer-accessories/pc-keyboards/c:30058/" target="_blank">See all PC keyboards at Argos</a></li></ul> </article> ]]>
