K5 Max

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.

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,

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.

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

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

Re "...somewhere in Reddit, I’ve read that the Q6 Max has horrible chatter/input issues": Here is a list of nearly 200 reports Not all are for Q6 Max, but for example, Q6 Max: Chatter issue and no solution since November 2024 Keychron Q6 Max double typing.

Mmmm... I'd buy a Keychron before some sketchy Redragon. Newer ones are fine but their older models are just... no. On the other hand, Keychron is also bad these days. I don't know if this is good or bad, but it's low profile, 100%, hotswap and QMK/VIA. https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k5-
