Looking for WFH wireless keyboard
I have picked up a Keychron Q5 Max for my office keyboard and have loved it so far. I swapped to an MT3 profile keycap set + TTC silent bluish white v2’s though.

Hello! What will you primarily be using your keyboard for (office/school work, gaming, programming, etc.)? My first mechanical keyboard was a Keychron Q1 (75%, so not your ideal layout preference). I think it was an excellent board to introduce me to the hobby and I assume the Q5 Max is just as grea

Long term users of Q1 Max. How has your experience been?
I’ve been using the Q5 Max for about two years and I love it. I’m also using the keychron silicone palm rest. I really like the high profile keys. No issues at all with the keyboard or the ergonomics. It might take you a week or two to get used to the key profile but that’s about it

I want a mechanical keyboard that feels like the Keychron Q5 Max to type on (which my partner has, and I like it). It has Gateron brown switches and standard height keycaps. But I need it to have a Trackpoint (non-negotiable), and preferably to be very compact (e.g. 65%). I currently use a Thinkpad

I'd just get an ISO Keychron V5 MAX or a Q5 MAX if you have the budget for it. Note the V5 MAX will be lighter if you are planning on toting it around otherwise the Q5 is much heavier. The Q5 is gasket mounted so typing on it is a little more 'bouncy' and the sound is a bit more muted than the V5 if

Best Mechanical Keyboards I Have Tried in 2025 ( Both Pre-Built and Custom)
I am new to keyboards and I am looking for the best pre-built keyboard which will be used mainly for typing. For context, I enjoy the Wobkey Rainy 75 and Crush 80, Keychron Q5 Max (linear) and Q5 HE. I also enjoy the ASUS Jelly75. Any suggestions based off of this?
