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

Trying to find a keyboard thats 100%? But small in size

Consider some floating design with minimal edges, such as Keychron K5 Max, Cherry mx10.0 or MX10.1. For something slighter more compact, there is Nuphy Node100 or Keychron K17 Max. All of them are low profile.

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.

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.

VIA keyboard colors changing on boot (after plasma 6.7?)

I'm experiencing the exact same issue, ever since the update to 6.7 my Keychron K5 Max keeps reverting to aqua on boot no matter what color I set under Keychron Launcher or VIA. I thought I was going crazy, good to hear it's not just me. EDIT: You can turn it off here:

Low profile tactile keyboards

I have a Keychron k5 max that came with gateron reds and I swapped those out for a mix of banana and wisterias (both tactile and feel/sound way less cheap than the browns). I like Keychron, they have good quality for the price and I was pleased to find out regular keycaps fit the low profile board

Keychron K3 max white gray

The 'ISO' variants are all hot-swappable, I think. Some of the 'ANSI' variants are hot-swappable. Why would you choose one of those particular variants you linked to? Why would you not use a (reputable) local reseller (with a real warranty)? There have been several angry posts here lately (forever,
