What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for Keychron Q6 Max

Best Praise
+41 pts
โ€œNice! Ive had my Q6 (non-max) for a little over a year now, and while I absolutely love the typing feel, its weight is a bit much (little over 5 lb). If you want to just push your keyboard back out of the way a little, maybe slightly shift it to the side or whatnot, think again. This chonker will resist any minor adjustments 100% of the time ๐Ÿ˜‚ it definitely helped me to realize how frequently I readjust or move things in my deskโ€

โ€œInteresting. The system requirements are A LOT higher for Phantom Liberty. Minimum GPU for Phantom Liberty is a 1060 which is what they recommend for the base game.โ€
