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

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,

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

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

To Keychron or not Keychron?
I have a K5 Max that I picked up at Micro Center over a year ago. It has worked flawlessly. Should the day come that I need another, I'll buy from Micro Center or Amazon. Keychron's website is perpetually out of stock on just about everything I would consider buying from them.

I did consider buying it, but there are issues with this keyboard that I did see while testing. When turned off and turned on it always defaults to mac settings. I was not able to change it. No support for Linux (no app for configurartion for it) As always witch logitech it is not fixable - I did re
