Title: A worthy Logitech MX Master replacement if you can ignore the quirks — Keychron M6 8K wireless mouse review
Post by: Redaktion on August 15, 2025, 18:49:15
The Keychron M6 8K is an ergonomic mouse that looks to be a perfect alternative to the Logitech MX Master series, even claiming better specifications and performance than Logitech's best productivity mouse. But does it live up to these claims in practice, and what corners did Keychron cut to bring down the price?

QuoteThere is also no easy way to switch connection modes from the top of the mouse for those using different systems.
what are you talking about, every mouse on the market switches connections on the bottom..

Quote.. was its weight. A ∼30 g increase from the Keychron M7 ..
its 20 not 30 !

and this here is still over 50 grams lighter than the logitech monster, .. master mx!
one cannot mention this often enough. clearly the better choice here in every aspect.

hope keychron will add an option to configure the thumb wheel better.

This is true, but it would still be nice to be able to switch between Bluetooth connections with a key combination on the top. Niche use case, but it's also a nice mouse...

Damn you're correct! I was thinking about the M2 lol. Still, point stands, the weight was a noticeable jump.

I totally agree with you there.

Every? Logitech G604 (https://www.logitech.com/assets/65839/g604-lightspeed-wireless-gaming-mouse-qsg.pdf), Logitech POP Mouse (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/pop-wireless-mouse), MCHOSE G3 (https://www.mchose.store/products/mchose-g3-series-wireless-gaming-and-office-mouse), and these are just from the top of my head as I would need to search correct names for others including for my HyperX which also has button on its top (and DPI switch on the left side, under thumb). There is many more. Even my trackball has it on the top: https://imgur.com/a/KfhIbTF (https://imgur.com/a/KfhIbTF)
