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). I use both of them daily and I have not had a single issue. Like I have seen on here i order them via Amazon to avoid having

Full size Lofree with the creamy sound

You mean you don't want it to be compact? You could look at the Keychron K5 Max, but it probably won't sound or feel as good as the Lofree. Would probably feel better though if you got different switches.

Conseils pour un clavier iso-fr, plutôt profil bas et avec numpad

J'ai un keychron k5 max, très bon clavier, les switch sont faciles à retirer pour le nettoyer intégralement, ou pour les remplacer au besoin, pas trop bruyant, low-profile, j'en suis vraiment très heureux, iso-fr et sans fil soit bluetooth soit avec le dongle. Bon il est plus vers les 140 ou 150 que

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. It has no see-thru keys, which defeats the purpose of having rgb (or any light for that matter). Keychron does sell abs see thru keycaps, but that almost doubles t

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.

Thoughts on K5 Max

The Max boards generally have decent connectivity IME. I've tested the K15 Max, which is an Alice layout, 75% version of the K5, and it was super stable and easy to connect Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz. Never had any dropped signal, and never had any issues connecting to a host, which is, shockingly, not a

PSA: Womier Skyline R3 = Keychron LSA

They’re identical to the keychron stock keycaps that come with the K5 max so I didn’t bother trying. Wasn’t a fan of the originals. Currently using the skyline R2 which I like better - they kinda like nSA but top is smaller so less typing issues. Waiting on nuphy berry to arrive, I heard those are t

Need a choice for Low Profile

Can’t offer much guidance as I am currently in the same boat looking for a similar keyboard. I have come across the Keychron K5 Max but have heard RGB lights aren’t very strong. Also looked at Nuphy Air96 V2 but concerned with the battery issues others have reported. Lofree also hit my radar but pro
