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.

This worth the price? It’s in cad$ and I hate ordering online.
I loathe Keychron. I returned three of them within a week of buying them Q1 Max, Q6 Max, and K17 Max. They ate all very basic mediocre keyboards with run of the mill switches and, in most cases, those stupid SA keycaps. My very Meh Q6 Max cost as much as a Neo75 Cu. That’s crazy.

Is getting a keychron worth it anymore
I recently picked up a K17 Max. I did swap out the switches to Gateron KS33 Chocolates at a cost of £37/$45 ish after a switch failure after a couple months. The build quality is fine and the keyboard is very average. The switch options (although hot swappable if you select that option) suck. Althou

MX alternatives - keyboards for multiple devices
If you don’t want the MX keys S, which I just bought despite having a couple of dozen mechanical keyboards, you might way to check out the Keychron K17 Max. It’s low profile, mechanical, hot swappable, and of hybrid aluminum/ plastic construction. It has tri-mode connectivity. It is also VIA/QMK con

Who knew that keyboard shopping was a blackhole?
My first mechanical keyboard was a JLab and I hated it. I just received a Keychron k17 Max with red switches and it blows the JLab out of the water.

Nuphy sent me a broken keyboard, now wants me to buy a second keyboard
Don't know about Keychron's warranty, and certainly not in Europe/Germany, but in the US, I've never had a problem with them. In fact, I'm typing on a low profile K17 Max. It's been great. Hasn't gotten the shine either (yet), which I hate. Can't say the same for my Keychron M3 Mini steel mouse thou

Im about to pay $90 for Keychron K7, Is it worh it?
Re "what you think": This is going to be biased I wouldn't choose a low-profile keyboard: I can't get used to the flat keycaps: Too much mistyping. Though they could theoretically be replaced with normal profile keycaps—the MX stem is the exact same. The K17 Max is still quite heavy with its alumini

Im about to pay $90 for Keychron K7, Is it worh it?
There aren't any reports for the K7 Max, probably because much fewer are being sold, but there are for the similar K1 Max, K3 Max, K5 Max, and K17 Max. For example, Keychron K17 Max QMK is my first disappointing keyboard in 20 years. Mostly the A key, but intermittently which key. Manufacturing date
