pretty sure keychron sells 60%s at multiple price points, i have the Q6 and it's awesome. planning to get a V3 for work.
here are just three options, but they have even more:
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k6-pro-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-q4-pro-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard
https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-v2-qmk-custom-mechanical-keyboard
but none of them have underlights i'm afraid.
Since OP wants QMK — how do the keychrons work wirelessly with QMK? I thought you needed ZMK for wireless firmware.
idk my keyboard is wired. but keychron says the wireless ones are running qmk as well if i'm not mistaken.
it literally says QMK in the listing
Totally, I saw that they are listed as QMK and wireless, I’m just curious how they figured that out when as far as I know there are basically no other QMK keyboards running wirelessly.
Seems like QMK can handle use over Bluetooth at 90 hertz polling, and configuration only while plugged in. None of the QMK Keychron boards seem to include a 2.4GHz dongle polling at the same 1000hz as the wired connection.
Okay, so you’re saying that the QMK keychron boards, when over Bluetooth, are a much higher latency than when plugged in.
Yes, though 90Hz is fine for general computing and non-enthusiast gaming. It also seems like some Keychrons may need to be configured in QMK to use the full 1000Hz in wired mode.
