Q5 Max

My Keychrons have become my daily drivers since I am not concerned about what happens to them. The Q5 Max is an excellent board, and my first board in the hobby. I like it so much I took it to work along with a q60. I don't think I will be buying a Q6 Pro anytime soon. I would need some other boards

Well, they're not generally budget FRL 1800 options, but i would say based on the quality of the FRL1800 boards I have that they're value because of their high quality. I have the Petrichor for instance and it is one of the nicest keyboard I own. But then you can also find something like the Flip 6P

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

The Galaxy100 is on sale open box for $72 on Amazon. The keycaps are uniform height but not shinethrough. But you can always grab a separate set of keycaps later.

i've been down this exact road looking for a quiet work board. the Keychron Q5 Pro fits almost everything you listed - all aluminum, hotswap, has the numpad, foam already inside, and gasket mount. comes in under your budget too. if you want wireless, the Q5 Max adds that for a bit more. i'd grab som

Eventually you’re going to want the Magic Keyboard case and will buy it anyways so you’ll be spending more money in the end if you buy something else instead for the time being especially if you want portability. Just saying. To actually answer your original question though, the best option that doe

i actually almost pulled the trigger on a Q5 Max but was turned off from the same issues too, it's why i went Q5 Pro (i don't need the wireless, i'm wired only and the extra foam was hardly worth it given the price differential at the time for me was $50+ dollars). not a single issue since recieving

To answer your questions regarding Keychron: ​Is it a good brand? Yes. They are currently widely considered the best "bang for buck" entry point into the premium mechanical keyboard hobby. You get a full CNC aluminum case and QMK/VIA support for a price that is hard to beat. ​Q5 Pro for beginners? A

Keychron. I have a Q5 max, all aluminum that I love but it's a 96% which I know isn't fullsize, but it has almost all of the keys including a numpad. Otherwise, I think it's the Q6 that is the 100%. They have an HE version with wooden accents that is beautiful, but these are pretty pricy and the cus

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
