First mechanical keyboard : keychron k17 max or v6 max ?

K17 is low profile (LP switches and LP keycaps). And LP switches are not standardised, there are multiple manufacturers with different pin layouts. V6 Max is gasket mount, has all the bling and uses standard MX switches. Recent Keychrons have a lot of problems unfortunately (double inputs, chatterin
