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?.

Full size Lofree with the creamy sound

You mean you don't want it to be compact? You could look at the Keychron K5 Max, but it probably won't sound or feel as good as the Lofree. Would probably feel better though if you got different switches.

keyboard recommendations? looking for a full size gaming keyboard ~90$

I have had both Keychron (different model - K5 Max) and the Aula F99 Pro. Out of the two, I preferred the Aula due to the sound and how relaxing it was to type on. I don't think you can go wrong with any of these personally.

Do we think Nuphy is ever going to release a normal 100% low profile layout?

Agreed, the closest thing will be Keychron K5 Max, but the typing sound and feel is kinda mid

Keychron K1 Max: Auto Sleep in 30 Minutes periodically reset

Thanks a lot! I didn't know the ones I posted were not the right shortcuts. As for the Via clone/"Keychron Launcher", I had tried that, seeing that the shortcuts did not seem to work. However, it does not show anything related to changing the timeouts. It is missing the "Advanced mode" where I think

Need suggestions

I tried Keychron K5 Max, it really just doesn't feel or sound as nice. Currently using Lofree Flow Lite and it's been great, I just wish they have a more "normal" full size layout. In your case you'd have to get Lofree Flow Lite + buy silent switches, OR it might be cheaper to just buy Lofree Flow 2

Can I use Moss switches in the Node keyboard?

Thanks. Which switch has the best feel? In comparison I love the Flow 2 100 Pulse switches, even though they are super light they are precise, unlike Wisteria on the Nuphy Air96 v2 and Brown tactiles on the Keychrone K5 Max. Both gave me typing issues. I prefer quiet switches, you think I'd like the

Lofree Flow 2 (100-Keys) so far on my desk.

It's also my favorite. I've tried so many low profiles including Nuphy Air96 v2 with both Wisteria and Moss switches, Nuphy Node 75 with Blush Nanos, LOFREE Flow 100 with Phantom switches, every Logitech scissor keyboard, Logitech MX Mechanical, Keychron K5 Max with Brown and Brown silents, Satechi
