Prices change; check the one for the switch you want. Keychron sells it in Carbon Black and Shell White, fully assembled with Gateron Jupiter Brown, Red or Banana switches. The Barebone build, in Carbon Black or Shell White, comes without keycaps and switches, so you'd supply your own.
Keychron lists macOS, Windows and Linux as compatible. It says the Q6 Max comes with a system toggle, and the fully assembled builds include both Mac and Windows keycaps.
What switches and keycaps does the Q6 Max come with?
Keychron lists Gateron Jupiter Brown, Red and Banana switches for the fully assembled builds, and says they're hot-swappable. A hot-swap socket lets you pull a switch out and push another in without soldering, so you can change switches later.
Keychron lists the KSA keycaps as double-shot PBT and not shine-through. Shine-through keycaps have see-through legends that let the backlight show.
How long does the battery last, and which connection should you use?
Keychron's wireless figure is up to 180 hours with the backlight off and up to 100 hours with RGB at its lowest brightness, from a 4000 mAh battery.
Polling rate is how often the keyboard tells the computer what you pressed. Keychron lists 1000 Hz on 2.4 GHz and the cable, and 90 Hz over Bluetooth. So 2.4 GHz or the cable suits fast games.
