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%.

Remap the LED keys of caps lock and num lock on the Keychron K17 MAX QMK
Re "Are there any risks of bricking the keyboard?": Yes, but not permanently Unlike flashing the original Keychron K series keyboards (with proprietary keyboard firmware) and the wireless firmware for the K17 Max (for the wireless module inside the keyboard and the '2.4 GHz' dongle), there is very l
