Fixing my MX Keys - making a tiny "hook" to hold one of the key hinges
Tx to the shopping option of chatgpt, I founded the keychron k17 max that seems to check all my checkoxes : low profile, hot-swappable, num pad.

Mechanical keyboard or Slim keyboards for typing and coding comfort
I recently got myself a Keychron K17 Max. It’s an amazing low profile keyboard. Feels incredible to both type and play on.

Worth getting a proper mouse or keypad early on?
Oh I bought most of this as an ST1/2 so can't perfectly remember. Mouse - Logitek G502 hero. Went for wired. Must have onboard memory because of NHS BS. Mic - Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CRKY7RSN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I tried a Bluetooth headset first, but again NHS BS

Best sounding/most silent OEM switches for the K5 MAX?
Oh, well, in that case. I just bought the K17 Max with the browns, and I quite enjoy their feel and even sound, although Keychron's no-gasket design makes it a bit echoish. I also like laptop keys, the resistance is pretty similar.

First Mechanical Keyboard
nice :) similar form factor, i like my keychron k17 max plenty enough to keep for a lifetime (linear switch, for some reason the tactiles make it sound+feel like trash) hope you enjoy for a long time!

Suggest a keyboard i can easily use for mac and win
i grew up with laptops and "chiclet-style" keyboards, so not only am i comfortable with my keychron k17 max but it feels more responsive than a regular keyboard simply because the key doesn't have to travel as far as a full-size keyboard. i guess their k7 is 65% but i really think having a knob elev

K Max Series Keyboard with a Knob
K11 Max is close. Note that some variants have soldered-in switches. These Keychron low-profile keyboards have a knob (rounded to the nearest 5%): K11 Pro (65%) K11 Max (65%) K15 Pro (85%. Not true TKL (crippled navigation cluster)) K15 Max (85%. Not true TKL (crippled navigation cluster)) K17 Pro (

What’s going on with Keychron?
I got a K17 max a few days ago and I'm very happy with it. BTW, Keychron is one of the few companies to offer ISO-FR layouts

Which low profile 96% keyboard should I buy?
Lofree Flow 100 - Feels and sounds good to type on (creamy). Lack of customizability (only on Windows) cheaper too Keychron K17 Max - Looks better imo. Just average on feels, and the sound is on the clacky side. Infinitely customizable with VIA (browser based software)

Keychron K17 Max QMK is my first disappointing keyboard in 20 years.
Untangled: Keychron K17 Max QMK is my first disappointing keyboard in 20 years. This keyboard was probably my most looked-forward-to purchase over the 20 years I've been buying keyboards, and I guess I've been lucky up to this point to say I've never had any issues with my previous purchases, but th
