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!

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

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

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

How can I use a currently dead key in my password?
It's a keychron K17 max (95% low-profile, red gateron and volume knob) ISO FR. I'm very happy with it.

Welche Low Profile DE Tastatur mit Silent Switches?
Keychron K17 Max. Gibt's auch mit ISO-de Layout. Silent Switches bereits verbaut. Und die sind tatsächlich leise. Ich habe genau diese Tastatur und meine bessere Hälfte sitzt neben mir ohne auszurasten. Die ist genauso "laut" wie meine alte normale Tastatur.

TLDR: Are full size switches standardized in the way that low profile switches apparently aren't? Context: My not hot-swappable MK is double typing on me and I just hit the point in researching a replacement where the low profile keyboard I had all but decided on (Keychron K17 Max) now sounds like a

Keyboard purchase help: I don't know the lingo to find what I want.
If your looking for low profile, check out the nuphy air96v2 with wisteria/moss/brown switches. Could also check out the Keychron K17 Max/Keychron K5 Max with brown switches.
