Connectivity Modes
Wired Mode
When the mode switch is in the "OFF" position, the mouse will not respond if the cable is not connected.
Connect the mouse to your device using the Type-C port on the mouse and a USB port on the device. The mouse is ready to use while the indicator lights up.

2.4GHz Mode
Switch the modes toggle to "G" (2.4GHz mode). The mouse will automatically turn on 2.4GHz pairing. The mouse indicator will slowly flash green.
Find the 2.4GHz receiver and connect it to your device's USB/Type-C port. Once successfully connected, the mouse indicator will turn green and stay on for 3 seconds before dimming off. The mouse is now ready for use.
In 2.4GHz paring mode, the mouse indicator will slowly blink green for 3 minutes. If the mouse is not connected within 3 minutes, the indicator will turn off. To re-enter pairing mode, hold both the "Left button" and "Forward button" for 4 seconds.
Note: If you need to repair the connection in 2.4GHz mode, please unplug the 2.4GHz receiver first. Then, hold both the "Left button" + "Forward button" for 4 seconds, wait for the green light indicator to start flashing, and plug the 2.4GHz receiver back in to complete the pairing process.
Recommendation: For the best wireless experience, Keychron recommends using the extension adapter for the receiver and placing the 2.4GHz receiver somewhere on your desk close to your mouse for a lower rate of latency and fewer signal interferences.

Also, a diagram showing the modes toggle switch set to "G = 2.4GHz mode". Another diagram shows pressing the Left button and Forward button simultaneously for 4 seconds to enter pairing mode.
Bluetooth Mode
Switch the modes toggle to "B" (Bluetooth mode), and the mouse will automatically turn on Bluetooth pairing mode. The mouse indicator will slowly flash blue.
Open the Bluetooth settings on your device and search for a device named "Keychron M6", then click "connect" to complete pairing.
When in Bluetooth pairing mode, the mouse indicator will slowly blink blue for 3 minutes. If it's not connected within 3 minutes, the mouse indicator will turn off. If you need to reconnect, hold both the "Left button" + "Forward button" for 4 seconds to re-enter Bluetooth pairing mode. The indicator will slowly blink blue.
If the M6 is connected by Bluetooth and needs to pair with a new device, hold both the "Left button" + "Forward button" for 4 seconds and wait for the blue light to flash on. At this point, Bluetooth has re-entered pairing mode, and you can connect the new device to the M6.
The Bluetooth mode has three channels, allowing the mouse to be seamlessly switched between three devices.
