Keychron is a joke

I will say that there are also plenty of people that have not had any bad experiences. In the last year I have ordered a K5 Max and a V6 Max (orders were a few months apart).

Should I buy the MX Mechanical now or wait for a refresh?

Keychron is the same price for me, at least, the k5 max version which is the only version that will do it for me, as I use wireless USB.

Are Keychron switches supposed to die this fast?

Are you sure it is the switches? Have you done controlled experiments? For example, does a suspect switch still fail if inserted back in (in a different location)? Reseat before exchanging.

Some mechanical keybs with low profile switches feel nice. Like a Mac keyboard, but better. Good brands have different key cap options. Here's a Keychron in white (not sure of AU availability, but gives the idea) https://www.keychron.com/collections/mechanical-keyboard/products/keychron-k5-max-qmk-v

All Iwant is a black Air75v3 with UK layout :(

my criteria were: 96% or greater size UK ISO low profile of which the only option seemed to be keychron. went with the K5 Max and it's been lovely so far. looks like there are some compatible keycaps that would make it all black, but I haven't tried them.
