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.

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.

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

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

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

Regret buying my nuphy
Dude… 1000% Never in my life have I had more typos than on my Nuphy Air96 v2. Not only are the keycaps large and/or oddly close together but they’re all in the same plane, so there’s no distinct elevation difference between rows. This made a difference for me. I switched to a keychron k17 max and it

Just upgraded my desk setup with the NuPhy Air Series keyboard—and I’m seriously impressed.
I also have an Air96 v2 and it’s the worst typing experience I’ve ever had. More typos than any other keyboard. I blame either the minimal spacing between keys or the oddly large keycaps (it’s def not me…) Switched to a keychron k17 max and am much happier. Can finally type without frustrating error
