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.

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

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

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.

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
