K11 Max went bonkers, how to extract low profile Gaterons?

K Max Series Keyboard with a Knob
K11 Max is close. Note that some variants have soldered-in switches. These Keychron low-profile keyboards have a knob (rounded to the nearest 5%): K11 Pro (65%) K11 Max (65%) K15 Pro (85%. Not true TKL (crippled navigation cluster)) K15 Max (85%. Not true TKL (crippled navigation cluster)) K17 Pro (

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.

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

There is K17 Max, but it has a crippled navigation cluster. For example, no End key (is Fn + Home). References K17 Max default keymap (ISO)

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

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
