I feel like I’ve committed a crime
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

Media Buttons on Razer Keyboard are unlit
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. If a key dies on my current one

[KDE Plasma] Steam Classic On A CRT
half-kidding, but they were great. I've had a few mechnaical keyboards that were able to mimick that same action, but i have a $200+ Keychron Q5 Max, that I've ripped the switches and keycaps out of six separate times, but still can't find something I like. Maybe i'm crazy.

Keychron is a scam company, please DO NOT BUY.
If you by "they" mean the people who had problems, some of them have troubleshooted it, found the root cause, and fixed it/repaired it. Warranty, if the process works, is the correct action, but the point is that the causes of this problem are fairly well known. Misaligned plates Due to the physical

You can get a Keychron V5/Q5 MAX or a V6/Q6 MAX if you want a wireless keyboard. It'll last far longer than anything from Logitech. The V6/Q6 is a fullsize while the V5/Q5 is a compact-fullsize about the size of a TKL while still having the same amount of a keys as a fullsize. If you plan to use it

What sort of keyboard do you use at work?
Nice choice! The Keychron Q5 Max has a solid build and customizable features. How do you find the MX keys for typing comfort?

Thanks for great list! I was looking at other keychron keyboards but somehow missed Q5 max. I have an option to get one for 150€, maybe it could be good option after changing switches and keycaps

I finally did it. Epomaker Aula 99 pro. Anyone have experience ?
It sucks but I'm using a Q5 Max that hasn't had issues, but I've never so much as swapped a switch on it so far, which is where most people seem to get issues to happen. Also putting lots of pressure when typing or gaming. I don't do either so I'm fine for now. People guess it has to do with the fle
