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

This is a great "do everything" mouse. Productivity work is excellent, easily customizable, and you can do it all on a web browser, so no software needed. I mapped the side scroll wheel to the left and right arrow keys for music production and it works insanely well. I love the tactility of the side scroll. I've had it for 2 months and charged it only once last week at around 40% while using it at least 4 hours a day. And up to 6-7 hours on the weekend using the dongle. And you can use it while it's charging (imagine that Apple). The mouse is really light which didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. The clicks are quiet, and feels really comfy in my hand. I used it for gaming in MOBAS and it's great. Biggest downside, is that there's only 1 profile. So if you want to map different buttons for different uses, it doesn't seem like you can. Not even on the software. Kind of a bummer but not a deal breaker for me. Either way. This is a solid mouse for the cost. Yeah you'll get a more premium experience with an MX master, but this is like 85% there at a quarter of the cost.

First I’ll say I think the mouse is worth it. I’m coming from the Mx master 3s, which I thought was too heavy. It’s much more slippery than that but I got used to it fairly quick. The quality is not as good which is why I give it 4 stars. Nothing is quite as set in place as the 3s, but it is far from low quality. The weight is great, almost too light, but I’m starting to get used to that and it 100% fixed the too heavy not as precise issue I ahd with the 3s. Overall very happy though not a perfect mouse, for the price it’s great and it also easily allows for gaming as well. If you are in a similar boat as me you would probably be happy with it, very comparable and cheaper/fixes the biggest flaw of being too heavy.

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.

I really wanted to like this mouse but after a week of using it, I just don't. I'm another that is coming from the Logitech MX Master 3s and something similar for less than half price is extremely attractive. Unfortunately, this just isn't the mouse for me. Pros: The lightness of the M6 is nice. The MX Master 3s is HEAVY and a day of swinging that thing around wears out your grip. At times my thumb would even cramp up, something I don't experience with the M6. Battery life is good. I've been using this every day for the last week and have yet to charge it. It's still running on whatever charge it had from the factory. Cons: Why am I returning it... 1. It turns itself off to save battery. The problem with that is it takes 6 seconds to turn back on. If you watch a YouTube vid that is longer than 10 minutes, you have to wait for the mouse to wake up to select the next one. If you watch several vids, you have to wait each time. A couple hours of this can get very frustrating. I would be fine with the mouse sleeping when the pc sleeps but the mouse going to sleep every 10 minutes is annoying. I don't know but it might be possible to turn this 'feature' off in settings but then you lose battery life. 2. While the M6 is lightweight, it's very hard to pick up. The sides of the M6 are smooth plastic and there's nothing for your fingers to grip against. With multiple monitors, you sometimes have to slide, pick up and reposition, then slide again to cover the whole width of the monitors. That pick up and reposition is a problem. The Logitech has rubberized sides that are easy to hold on to. Again, I really wanted to like it but I just don't.

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.

The scroll on the horizontal scroll wheel was really slow, and there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust it in the keychron web app. BUT you can (in windows) go into control panel and turn the speed up on the horizontal scroll to fix it. The shape of the mouse feels fantastic. Its really comfortable, and all the buttons are easily reachable without contorting my hand. Its a lot lighter than I'm used to, but I've gotten used to it pretty quickly. It might be a bit small for someone with big hands, so if that's the case, I'd try to get a hold of one to see if its comfortable first. The buttons are also very silent, which threw me off a bit, but I can see where that's a benefit if you're in an office environment.

Love the free scroll wheel, buttons are muted rather than loud and clicky, and no issues with connectivity and there is little to no noticeable lag or latency. Battery life is solid as well. Only downside I’ve found is that, coming from a Logitech Triathlon, it is a bit too slim for my hands to the point of being a bit uncomfortable. It is also very light - which can be a positive or a negative depending on your preference. Overall, solid option at a good price.

I bought this to replace my MX Master 3, like many, and I don’t regret it. It’s lighter, smoother (both physically and digitally), and much easier to use. My only gripe however, is the side wheel feels cheap to spin, and is plastic. But that’s really it.
