I have the Q6 HE and I love it! Switched from a Corsair K95 and I love it! Didn't think I would care so much about my "typing experience" but I can't go back to the Corsair now. Shame you didn't have a good experience with the Q6 Max.

Love my 4 year old Q5 Max. Still my favorite board out of the 10 that I own.

Same issue here with dubbel spacebar inputs.

I have a Keychron K6 Max keyboard with the linear red switches. I get random extra spaces inserted between letters. It doesn't happen often, but it is annoying. I'm not touching the space bar at all when this happens. The linear red switches are extremely sensitive. I ordered the same keyboard with the brown switches in the hope that the extra force required to activate these switches will eliminate this problem. But I've read that people are experiencing the same problems on the brown switches.

I'm having the same issue with the spacebar and a few letters. I'm currently exchanging emails with Support. They're having me go through a lot of troubleshooting. It made it worse 😅

i wonder if q6 he is better, i heard q6 max having double chatter issue

The problems with double typing is a common problem with these boards sadly, also with nuphy boards. Had the same problem with my d key, luckily swapping switches did fix it for me tho. Maybe yours is a pcb related issue :/

Has anyone found a solution for the double clicking? Mine is doing it from the very beginning of getting the keyboard (Keychron V6 MAX KNOB Wireless)

yeah, I'm disappointed with my Keychron Q6 Max as well, and I'm experiencing that it refuses to work on my KVM and it kills my Razer mamba mouse at the same time. the GMMK PRO 3 is no better. I've been following some posts on other people claiming they got it to work by custom compiling the QMK firmware, I just got done doing it and flashing it; Still fails. absolutely zero change. For this much money, it should JUST work at least as a basic keyboard. This is NOT a premium experience.

Feelsbad for you, Sir. Keychron should give you a refund. I'm still using an old Keychron C2 (low tier) keyboard, and I am considering switching to a Q6. When you need ISO layout + knob + full size, they are hard to beat for the price.

I received two switches. The damn thing gave up on me after 6 months.

Very good keyboard, but the quality is possibly lacking. My Pok3r endured my violence for 6 years without issues.

I’ll switch the switches and see if the issue persists. It’s a very nice keyboard, but this is annoying, especially after such a short time and no abuse from my side.

(I even bent the PCB on the Pok3r keyboard.)

I think if you use a 2.4 ghz wireless dongle in an usb hub with 3.0 ports or in thunderbolt ports it creates interferences and you can’t use it properly, so you have to buy an usb 2.0 dock to plug it on it without problem which is a shame

Clearly faulty, you must get your money back or another keyboard
