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

Light and Dark

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.

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.

Is getting a keychron worth it anymore

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

Full size with magnetic switches, shine through key caps and a volume

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

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

Tired of the keyboard rabbit hole – help me choose!

You don’t need 8K. I’ve been using the keychron Q5 Max since 2024 and I really love it. It’s built like a tank, and you absolutely will not notice any latency whatsoever with 1000 Hz polling rate.

Keychron Q6 Max broken out the box
