Keychron has introduced the Z6 Ultra, a custom mechanical keyboard that combines a full-size layout with durable materials and modern wireless performance. The keyboard is built from an electrophoretic and powder-coated aluminum alloy, while the back panel is CNC-machined to improve rigidity and finish quality.
The Z6 Ultra uses a quick-release touch-bead structure and a gasket-mounted internal design. It includes a single-key slotted PCB, a PP positioning plate, and a five-layer filling system that helps control vibration and sound during use. These structural choices aim to enhance typing comfort and provide consistent feedback across all keys.
Keychron equips the Z6 Ultra with hot-swappable custom Silk POM red switches rated for 50 million presses. The keyboard comes fitted with OSA-profile two-color PBT keycaps and features south-facing RGB lighting for clear illumination. A multifunction knob in the top-right corner allows quick control of volume and media.
Connectivity options include USB-C wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4GHz wireless modes. Both the wired and 2.4GHz connections support an 8KHz polling rate, allowing faster input response. The keyboard runs on an 8000mAh battery paired with a Realtek RTL8762G series chip and ZMK low-power firmware. According to Keychron, the Z6 Ultra can last up to 210 days on Bluetooth mode, depending on usage and lighting settings.
With its aluminum build, flexible connection options, and efficient power management, the Keychron Z6 Ultra is positioned as a reliable choice for users looking for a customizable mechanical keyboard with extended battery performance. Availability and regional pricing will be announced later.
