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

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. Related: Keychron 2024 design and production quality issues with keychattering and missed keystrokes Keychron

K11 Max went bonkers, how to extract low profile Gaterons?
Similar reports for K1 Max: Avoid Keychron at all costs! Keychron K1 Max is a disaster. Several special firmware versions from Keychron were tried (presumably changing the key debounce time), but none worked. #36 Is the K1 Max just a bad keyboard?.

NuPhy killer or nah?
I switched from a Keychron K5 Max to a Nuphy and haven’t looked back… the Keychron felt very cheap and plasticky and I had to make 2 warranty claims on it. I try ink their newer offerings are probably better, but I’m much happier here

Im about to pay $90 for Keychron K7, Is it worh it?
I'm a low profile keyboard lover as well. With regards to the K7 Max, I would rather prefer the K3 Max since it has the function row which is super useful for me. Do consider if you want to wait for the K3 HE & K3 Ultra. It's launching soon according to Keychron. HE switches are better for gaming wh

keychron k5 pro bluetooth is TERRIBLE
There is a K5 Max. Though it may or may not be affected by the Keychron 2024 design and production quality issues with keychattering and missed keystrokes.

Gaming silent keyboard - recommendations needed
The K55 is a membrane keyboard so stay away from those. I think you might prefer a low profile keyboard. While i would not recommend Keychron normally since i have seen a fair amount of complaints about quality and people getting dead on arrival keyboards. They do have a few different fullsize low p

Should I buy the MX Mechanical now or wait for a refresh?
Wanna know the biggest irony? I could buy the K5 Max + ABS shine-thru. PBT opaque is a NO GO for me. I have only TWO basic requirements for ANY kayboard. N1: it needs to be wireless and N2: it needs to have backlit keys that are visible in the dark. I've been using wireless backlit keyboards since t
