My two K1 Max Ultra-Slim keyboards operated wireless started out petty good, but after about one year they started repeating random keys. Mine was worse than my wife's but both do it.

Keychron v1 max vs k1 max vs RK S85 - Heavy typer Hi everyone, Want your advice. I've owned the original keychron k1, But it wasn't hot awappable and I destroyed the keys after 5 years of constant use. I'm a very heavy typer. I definitely bottom out. Almost abusive. I have had lots of mistypes in th

K Max as well. A sample: Is the K1 Max just a bad keyboard?. An early detection (April 2024) of this kind of problem. A comment also reports on a K1 Max (from day one, spreading to more keys over time)

I was not aware of this. I appreciate your post a lot. My Keychron K1 Max QMK at 5ms still has repeating characters on a single press. It seems to also still do this on 20ms, 30ms, ... but less. I bought this keyboard from keyboardco.com in july 2025 (I wanted an English ISO layout), so I assume it
