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

Lekker tikkens are very difficult to take out with the included switch puller
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

Finally a Keychron Owner
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

My Daughter Needs/Wants a Keyboard Like This… Any Ideas?
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. Same thing with switches if you want to swap them later. Fullsize and 96% options are limited. Especially aluminum fullsize. The best one

Need 96% thocky keyboard recs (light switches, screen + knob)
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

1800/96
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

Mom needs help - Keychron?
I have a Keychron Q5 Max and I fucking LOVE IT. It is one of my favorite keyboards that I own for so many reasons. Can't recommend them enough. Especially the Q series being that it is made of solid aluminum.

All metal case, hot swap, with numpad and sound dampening?
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
