Keychron has quietly rolled out the P6 Ultra, a full‑size keyboard that blends new ZMK firmware with its Silk POM switch family. The design stays low‑profile, but the 22.25 mm front height results from the quick‑disassembly ball‑catch closure. This feature lets users open the aluminium case without tools, a growing trend among mod‑friendly keyboards. Users can also tweak the layout through Keychron Launcher, a VIA‑like web driver.

The P6 Ultra debuts in black, sporting black Cherry‑profile double‑shot PBT keycaps with gray and orange accents. It ships with a 4,000 mAh battery that Keychron claims lasts 660 hours on a single charge when backlighting is off, dropping to 200 hours at the lowest brightness. Both 2.4 GHz and Bluetooth 5.3 connections give users flexible connectivity options.

Keychron lists the P6 Ultra at $199.99 on its website and $179.99 on Amazon, available with Silk POM Red (linear), Brown (tactile), or Banana (early‑bump tactile) switches. The quick‑disassembly design mirrors the Lemokey P2 HE, which also uses a silicone bean gasket mount. This move signals Keychron’s push toward modular, user‑friendly keyboards.

By combining a lightweight, toolless chassis with high‑end firmware and a generous battery, the P6 Ultra offers enthusiasts a ready‑to‑go platform for custom layouts and switch swaps. Its price point keeps it competitive against mid‑tier mechanical keyboards, while the modular approach may set a new standard for portable, mod‑friendly designs.
