Q5 Max

Maybe I'm getting old and grumpy, but the idea that one of the fancy keychrons 'leaves a lot to be desired' is crazy to me, The Q5 Max has a serious spec sheet. Besides better case materials, and generally aesthetic stuff, what more is there even to ask for? If you want fancy switches/keycaps you ca

I have a Keychron Q5 Max with Milky Yellows and love it. Only downside is no Caps/Num Lock lights. Pretty sure it was a Corsair keyboard (maybe a K70) that got me into hot swap mechanicals back in the day. The "A" key died on me and I had to throw the whole thing out.

I have three Keychron devices: a K2 v2, a Q5 Max, and a OnePlus Pro 81, based on a Keychron Q1 Pro. They were all purchased years ago. These days, my purchases focus on the QwertyKeys NEO line, but I still have fond memories of the old Keychron devices.

(Ofc it's still a heavy keyboard, but for the construction style it's breaking new ground in terms of weight). It's SIGNIFI

I’ve been using a keychron Q5 max since mid 2024 and it’s an excellent keyboard. No issues

Keychron Q5 Max (though Keychron has some potential quality issues), KBDFans Athena 1800 (not pre-built; you'll need to assemble it and supply stabs, switches and keycaps), Epomaker Galaxy100 and Galaxy 100 Lite, Akko Mineral 02, Akko Gem 02, Yunzii AL98, RK S98 There's probably others.

what helped me when i was hunting for a similar combo was realizing the full-size hall effect market is still pretty new. that keychron you linked is probably the closest you'll get for magnetic switches with a numpad. for a volume knob, you might have to go the separate route - a little usb knob is

It's easier to remove them if you have a metal switch puller Right is one I pulled with the puller that was included with the 80HE, left one with a keychron metal puller from a Q5 Max. It was harder to remove them from the FR4 plate I have, they were also hard to put in because it's stiffer than the
