Keychron unveils 46g G6 HE wireless mouse with swappable battery

Keychron has introduced the G6 HE, a wireless gaming mouse equipped with hybrid MagOptic switches and an 8000Hz polling rate. Weighing approximately 46g with its detachable battery module, the peripheral uses a PixArt 3955 sensor alongside tri-mode connectivity for PC and mobile devices.

Keychron (via Mediagene) states that the mouse uses proprietary MagOptic switches that blend optical and magnetic technologies and provide a 100-million-click lifespan. Users can configure settings via the web-based Keychron Launcher tool, which offers 12-step actuation point adjustment and 11-step rapid-trigger tuning directly in the device's onboard memory.

Powering the peripheral is a removable 350mAh battery module designed to minimise downtime during extended sessions, with Keychron also offering a fixed-battery variant in black that reduces the total weight to 42g. The company quotes battery life at up to 35 hours when operating at an 8000Hz polling rate over 2.4GHz, expanding to 340 hours in Bluetooth 5.3 mode. Internal hardware relies on a Nordic 54LM20A MCU paired with a PixArt 3955 sensor that supports up to 40000 DPI, 750 IPS tracking, and 60 G acceleration.

The 123.7x63x41mm casing is constructed from ABS and PC materials and features an anti-slip nanofine coating and PTFE feet. Keychron plans to release the mouse in seven colorways, including standard black and white and five frosted translucent options. A global release is scheduled for September, with pricing around $90.

KitGuru says: The swappable battery is a nice touch to reduce wireless downtime, but it's likely to drive up the price. Fortunately, the fixed-battery variant should be cheaper for those who don't care about the swappable batteries.
