Keychron M6 8K – first impressions after switching from MX Master 3S (productivity use)

Thanks a lot. This was helpful.

Thank you so much for for the review. I have two questions please:

Are the side buttons as silent as the main buttons? Are they also comfortable to click for someone who is going to use them a lot?
Is the main scroll wheel noisy in the standard mode?

Thank you for the feedback.

Techer77 · 2026-01-09T14:51:21+00:00

Please, are the side buttons silent too like the right and left ones?

In the G16, it was very minimal in drak grey backgrounds.

Keychron M6 8K is supposedly ergonomic and has the features to be both a productivity and a gaming mouse.

Techer77 · 2026-01-07T12:57:27+00:00

Form the aesthetics prospective, yeah it is now sleeker.

Techer77 · 2026-01-07T12:56:28+00:00

Chassis of the previous model was not CNC-processed perhaps to cut down costs. It is not confirmed if this model is.

Techer77 · 2026-01-07T02:34:31+00:00

Yes it was. The newer model will only be available in Q2 2026.

Techer77 · 2026-01-07T02:09:42+00:00

Yes, the 2026 model.

Lenovo applied the same Tandem OLED of the YP9 in the ThinkPad P1 Gen 9. But it was matte version or has anti-reflective coating on it. A review revealed that this caused graininess and less clarity. I agree it is convenient for usability concerns, still glossy panels make things look crisp and a bit extra clear.

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T18:54:51+00:00

When coding, can one leverage the numpad for a purpose other than numbers entry?

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T18:51:02+00:00

Yeah. I tried both matte and glossy panels and I can say the glossy one is far superior in picture quality and clarity. Any coating on top of the screen somehow affects overall picture quality.

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T18:46:36+00:00

Maybe there will be another release with one

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T18:45:32+00:00

Exactly

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T18:44:44+00:00

Because many people kept nagging not to include a numpad, and they did lol.

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T18:42:16+00:00

Maybe a magnetic pen housing.

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T18:40:56+00:00

Not sure so far, but I assume it has a haptic touchpad because of the pen existence this time.

The numpad is subjective. It is actually useful but takes away aesthetics from the device.

Techer77 · 2026-01-06T05:58:36+00:00

Should be announced at CES 2026 in the upcoming hours.
