I purchased my first K6 from Keyboard Co. (excellent service!) a couple of years ago. Its been perfect, so much so that when I realised Id need a keyboard to keep at work too, I just purchased another one. Its the ideal size if you want a keyboard thats small and compact, but with the convenience of arrow keys (somewhat hard to find). The quality is excellent, I dont have any complaints. The K6 was my first mechanical keyboard and the hot-swappable version gives you plenty of scope to modify and customise it with switches and keycaps. I remember researching which first keyboard to buy for a really long time; I couldnt recommend the K6 enough.

Keychron series is very underrated, I was looking for a nice thockyclacky sound on a board that doesn't cost the whole world, and the default sounds are so good on this, way better than any of the Epomaker boards, even the stabilizers sound pretty good, you could improve them but the default ones aren't too bad, if you're new Hot Swap boards and just want to get a feel, these are 100% the board for you. You'll have to make sure you get the right switches, I got some AKKO Linear switches and they didn't fit, so I think Gateron style switches will fit. And have to mention the battery life is just amazing, I've owned this for just about a week and I haven't charged it since I pulled it out the box (although would recommend charging it fully before use!).
There's a good collection of RGB lights and effects which also complement the board really nicely, I've got custom keycaps so I usually leave my backlight off. There is no official software to change the mapping of your keys, so the Keychron guide has two open-source softwares that they suggest they can use,they're not too user friendly but Keychron have said they'll be coming out with a new software later this year.
All in all, a very good board, would highly recommend and also great service and delivery times from KeyboardCo, would definitely recommend picking up boards from here if they have what you want as I will myself.

Couldn't be happier really, with a few tweaks this is a great little beginners board, and if like me you work with both Windows and Mac regularly then there's not an awful lot out there as good, the switch to go between Mac and Windows layout is invaluable really!
If you want a more thocky noise then you can grab yourself some new switches (lube them if you really want to go the extra mile!), put some foam in the base and even a new set of keycaps and it all works out nicely, couldn't be happier with my purchase really.
