Aftermarket keycaps are highly recommended for the K6. What is surprising though is how slick the keycaps are out of the box, there’s basically no texture to the caps at all, I shudder to think what these caps will feel like after they take on the typical ABS shine. The keycaps included with the Keychron K6 are made of the typical thin ABS plastic, which isn’t surprising considering its price point. The switch puller is a little anemic, it’s thin and inflexible and it actually makes removing switches harder than it needs to be, just a little more heft and width would’ve made this barebones switch puller better. All the switches I had on hand installed easily without any issue, the insert was solid with no wiggle. The K6 has a hot-swappable version that I would highly recommend if you’re looking to try out a bunch of different switches, the 5-pin switch socket is compatible with pretty much all popular PCB mount switches. They’re not ducky level stabilizers, but they’re definitely not a rattle-fest that you’d see on a ton of other mainstream keyboards.

While I wouldn’t say that the stabilizers are flawless, they come pre-lubed out of the factory and the stabilizers are actually somewhat smooth and sound satisfying. The typing test above is with Gateron Browns. The keyboard can come with the Red, Blue, or Brown Gateron or LK Optical switches.

The K6 comes with several switch options which is something I always give points for.
