Keychron teased a new hybrid mechanical-magnetic version of its V6 keyboard with Tunneling Magnetoresistive (TMR) sensors. The upcoming model uses what the company calls a “Nova Socket architecture” to support both traditional mechanical and analog magnetic switches.
This hybrid platform lets users mix and match the tactile feel of standard mechanical switches with the adjustable actuation and rapid trigger performance of magnetic switches. The keyboard is built on the full-size V6 layout, which typically uses a plastic case rather than the aluminum design found in the premium Q-series.

A teaser image shared on social media reveals a complete full-size layout that includes a programmable rotary knob above the backspace key. It also shows a full navigation cluster, a dedicated number pad with a full-width zero key, and four macro keys situated above the numpad. Similar to the Epomaker HE75 V2 gaming keyboard, this model targets players who want highly responsive analog inputs for PC gaming.
The keyboard uses Keychron’s in-house OSA-profile keycaps, which combine an OEM height with rounded edges and a cylindrical top surface. The inclusion of TMR sensors is expected to provide better energy efficiency compared to standard Hall-effect sensors used in older magnetic keyboards.
While Keychron has not yet shared pricing details, the keyboard is expected to arrive in global retail markets soon.
