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

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

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

My thoughts on the Keychron K5 Max

My Experience: Some years i bought my first "premium" Keyboard, the Logitech MX Keys. I was not interested in Mechanical Keyboards. Than I bought the MX Keys S, because the MX Keys without S has Backlight issues (Turns on multiple times in Night without any reason). But than I realized, that the MX

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

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.

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
