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

good alternative to MX Keys S?

I've been struggling with this too The "killer feature" MX Keys have brought to me is the 1/2/3 easy connection buttons, and I'm a fan of scissor keys. Just got a Keychrom K5 Max to see if I like it It's got low profile keys - not quite scissors, but it's not horrible (got red linear switches rather

K5 Max - 2.4GHz Receiver Failing to Pair

The day before yesterday I unboxed the keyboard.The BT and USB modes work normally.The 2.4G mode wasn’t working. When switching to this mode, the keyboard didn’t react at all. The pairing LED didn’t blink (it should blink green), and the key backlight didn’t turn on. I already have a Keychron K5 PRO

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - November 24, 2025

I ended up giving away my Nuphy Air75 V2 because I thought it felt a little flimsy for the price & I ended up not being a fan of the clip-on stabilizers. I moved away from low-profile boards, but my daily driver is a Keychron & I love everything about it. From the looks of it, the K5 Max has screw-i

Tastatur Anschläge sporadisch mehrfach

Was für eine Tastatur hast Du denn?Bei meiner Logitech G G915 X LIGHTSPEED ist dieses Symptom nämlich nach etwa 4 Monaten aufgetreten. Zwar könnte es auch Staub sein, hier ist jedoch von einem Serienfehler auszugehen (siehe viele Berichte auf amazon & Co) -> Rückgabe ist erfolgt. Nun mit Keychron K5

What's the best mechanical keyboard on the market widely loved currently?

I have a keychron k5 max with brown switches. I returned two before this one. The first one had linear switches (red ones I think) and I didn't get along with them - lots of mistake key presses as they were too sensitive. Moved to brown switches. The second one had two keys that didn't work & a coup

Need help with buying advice

Check out keychron. I went from g915 to that because I wanted wireless and the k5max is a low profile variant, pretty sweet and quality seems high. Price is nice too. Good reviews of all their products online. Also if it's hotswappable you can get the very best keys on the market for them

Keychron K5 Max – left-side modifier keys popping off?

I had a similar problem where these keys never felt or sounded right compared to the other keys. Like you I thought for sure I had the keycaps pushed down firmly onto the switches. But it turned out I could still get them on tighter. What fixed it for me: turn the keyboard sideways and with a LOT of
