M6 Silent Wireless Gaming Mouse, 1000Hz Polling, Bluetooth 5.3/2.4GHz/Wired, PixArt 3395 Optical Sensor up to 26,000 DPI, Lightweight 86g, Programmable, for Windows/Mac/Linux – Black

Important note before unboxing ------------------------------------- Don’t let the box fool you. Keychron seems to have some printing errors that they really should fix, otherwise they will face many unnecessary returns. In my case, the box says M6 LITE, SKU M6S-A1, and lists the PixArt 3311 sensor, including all specs for that sensor—which is incorrect for my mouse. Because of this, I almost returned it and even opened a support ticket. They suggested I try the mouse first. After testing, I realized the mouse was actually the PixArt 3395 1K version. Here’s how I confirmed it: - In the online Keychron Launcher, I was able to set DPI up to 26,000 - The firmware version installed is exclusive to the PixArt 3395 1K So yes, it was clearly a printing error (come on, Keychron 😅), and I decided to keep it. Why I started looking for an MX Master 3S replacement ---------------------------------------------------------------- There were two main reasons: Right click issues: 1. The right button started to become unreliable. Sometimes it wouldn’t register clicks depending on how the button was pressed. 2.Terrible 2.4 GHz connection: The wireless connection on the MX Master 3S is a nightmare unless the dongle is less than 10 inches from the mouse. During work, it would randomly become laggy. Turning it off and on temporarily fixes it—but expect the issue to come back. After discovering that the same 2.4 GHz dongle is used for the MX Master 4, I concluded this is likely a protocol issue. That’s when I decided to try another brand. Why the Keychron PixArt 3395 1K is better than the MX Master 3S (and possibly MX Master 4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Much smoother gliding than the MX Master 3S. I use a PU leather desk mat, and the difference is huge—mouse movement feels far more pleasant. - Great materials: The Keychron plastic feels premium and solid. In contrast, the rubberized coating on the MX Master started peeling after about one year. - Left & right click buttons: Very different from standard mice. They have more travel and better tactile feedback, which I personally love. - Middle button: Hard to describe, but noticeably easier to press than on the MX. - Side buttons: Forward and back buttons are much easier to press compared to the hard MX Master 3S buttons. - Weight: It feels significantly lighter—almost weird at first—but I ended up really liking it. - Polling rate: 125 Hz (MX) vs 1000 Hz (Keychron). Pointer feels softer and more responsive - Connectivity: Keychron: 5 devices (3 Bluetooth + 2.4G dongle + wired) MX Master: 3 devices (2 Bluetooth + 2.4G dongle) The Keychron 2.4G connection is stable 60 inches away with no lag. - Software: No more glitchy software. Keychron Launcher is free, web-based, and works flawlessly. Being picky ------------- - The metal scroll wheel on the MX Master 3S rolls more smoothly. - The side wheel on the Keychron feels a bit stiff when scrolling.

Got the 8K version. Overall very good mouse, lots of positives including flexibility, works on Linux, no crappy software installation, more than enough battery life, decent scroll wheel and buttons, polling rate and sensor overall are definitely more than I need, etc. Finish and build quality are good, I like that it doesn't have the rubber thing that the MX Master has and gets nasty over time (even if you clean it), and the weight/material feel is ok, I'd say in between Logitec ergo stuff and their gaming products. A few things bothered me though: - The scroll wheel toggle is a bit hard/loud, and the horizontal scroll wheel is not as good as the main one (still better that the plastic ones from Razer), but that's not too bad either, just something to keep in mind so you don't get surprised. - Bluetooth connection is not very reliable, had to re-connect to my SteamDeck and my Windows laptop several times because it kept “forgetting” that it was already paired. Also, over Bluetooth sometimes it causes the cursor to jump like when you have poor signal, but it happens sometimes even with the mouse right next to the laptop. It gets better, but sometimes it's just bad, so I usually just use the wifi dongle to avoid going insane. - The shape is ok but it's weird. I've used Logitec MX Master series and the grip on this one is quite a bit narrower, much more than I anticipated (and I don't have big hands, my palm is wide but nothing out of the ordinary for a relatively short man). My previous mouse is a Razer Deathadder Elite and I can tell you, both my MX Master and my Razer have more comfortable grip, I find myself going back to the wired Razer just for the better feel. All that said, I can forgive the buttons/scroll wheel difference because it's not too bad if I'm honest. As for the shape and grip size, that's just preference, not the best match for me but still can be awesome for others. The Bluetooth issues are the ones that made me drop a star, I can still ignore it because I don't care too much for BT, but it's still a big issue most of the time, so I think it's fair to warn others who might want to use it primarily via Bluetooth.

New favorite mouse. The side buttons are a bit small but still easily useable. Everything feels great. Feels premium while remaining lighter weight. Infinite scroll feels great. Finish doesn’t leave any fingerprints. All the buttons are silent (even L/R click and the scroll wheel). Have done some light gaming with it and have zero complaints. If you’re looking for an alternative to the MX master series you’ve found it at a competitive price.

This is overall a good mouse overall. I used it for a full day of CAD work. The issue was the scroll wheel, it required a heavy press and did not perform as well as I hoped. The build quality is nice with the exception of the scroll wheel, it has almost a rattle or grainy feel to it.

The mouse is perfect for me, I wanted an MX Master however I cannot deal with the low polling rate for gaming, for me this is the next best thing. The mouse wheel takes some time to get used to as it scrolls either notch less or semi notch less but is great now I'm used to it. Button clicks are quiet and soft which is perfect for me, if you're used to normal gaming mice with hard loud clicks this will be a bit jarring.

This is basically an alternative to Logitech MX Master mice, but with a higher polling rate for those who want productivity and gaming features together. I've got the 8K version, as it was the only one with the metal scroll wheel. With a price tag of $140 this is an expensive mouse, however the build quality does not match. My biggest problem is the main buttons' clicking sound. Even though this is advertised as a silent mouse, my left button keeps getting louder every day that I use the mouse, and it is annoying. Not sure if mine is a faulty unit or what, but Keychron does not have the black version of 8K in stock anymore, so I'm stuck with something I'm not happy with. The other issue is the scroll wheel mode selector button. It is a real physical button that you have to push hard with a cheap loud sound (compared to MX Master where it is an electronic button). Also, at this price, I'd expect the horizontal scroll wheel to be metal too.

Es un muy buen mouse, basicamente es plug & play, no es necesario instalar ningun software para configurarlo (a menos que necesites algo especifico) por lo que me sirve para la computadora del trabajo, es cómodo, liguero, con buena conectividad sin embargo los materiales a pesar de verse bien no se sienten de lo mejor, por el precio esperaba unos materiales no top pero mejores. De todas formas lo recomiendo al 100%

What can I say? 1000Hz polling rate is so much better. I previously was using a Logitech MX Master 3s for the sole purpose of the side/horizontal scroll wheel and ergo shape. But the non-replaceable rubberized coating degrading over time and very low polling rate of 125Hz was taking away my work efficiency. I work from home. At first with the low refresh rate monitor I got from work was working fine with that one, as soon as we got hardware upgrades, it was very noticeable and the Logi+ Option software sucks big time on my work Mac. lol But the M6 solved all of my Logitech issues: PROS: -no more icky rubberized coating -higher polling rate -browser-based launcher for mouse settings, no need to rely on slow Logi+ Options software that works 50/50 on Macs -much lighter -can finally game better on my Mac with just one mouse instead of bringing another "gaming" mouse. when I have to travel for work and my Mac is the only thing that I can game on(Timberborn) CONS:(at first, but have gotten used to the M6 after some time) -a little to slippery(bought off-brand replaceable rubber grip tape) -middle scroll wheel feels looser/cheap compared to MXSM3S) -middle scroll wheel button switcher feels cheap and awkward?(used to MXM3S button seamless button switcher) -side scroll wheel short distance(fixed with a MacOs App)

I switched to the Keychron M6 1000Hz Silent from the Logitech MX Master 3S, and honestly, the difference surprised me — in a good way. The M6 feels faster, more responsive, and noticeably smoother in daily use, especially with the 1000Hz polling rate. Cursor movement is precise, and the silent clicks are soft without feeling mushy, which makes it excellent for both office and home environments. Considering the MX Master 3S costs roughly twice as much, there’s very little reason to choose Logitech over the Keychron M6 unless you are deeply tied to Logitech. In short, the Keychron M6 1000Hz Silent is a high-performance mouse with exceptional value, and an easy recommendation for anyone considering productivity mice.
