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)

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
