Keychron is teasing a full-size keyboard that blends mechanical and magnetic switch technology. The V6 TMR Gaming Keyboard uses tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) sensing, which the company claims is more efficient than Hall-effect sensors. This approach aims to offer the responsiveness of magnetic switches with the familiar feel of mechanical keys.
Hybrid socket accepts both mechanical and magnetic switches
The keyboard belongs to Keychron's V-series, which uses a plastic case. It features the company's Nova Socket architecture, designed to accept both mechanical and magnetic switches. This hybrid socket lets users swap between switch types without changing the entire board.
Specifications
- Layout: Full-size
- Switch Technology: TMR (Tunneling Magnetoresistance) sensing
- Socket Architecture: Nova Socket architecture (hybrid mechanical and magnetic)
- Case Material: Plastic (V-series)
- Keycaps: Keychron OSA profile
The V6 TMR is a proper full-size layout with a navigation cluster, num pad, and a four-key macro row above the num pad. A programmable knob sits above the backspace key. The board ships with Keychron's in-house OSA profile keycaps.
Keychron has not announced pricing or availability yet. The tease suggests the V6 TMR will arrive as a gaming-focused addition to the V-series lineup. More details are expected closer to launch.
