I found this Keychron keyboard at a thrift store for $45!
Hell yeah, well done! I definitely don't think Keychron boards are worth $200+, but as long as you're not paying that, then they have some very solid units. My wife loves her V5 that we got her last year. If we're sharing Keychron success stories, I recently nabbed a C$229 Keychron Q9 for C$80. I sw

1st keyboard, WOW
Also got myself a Keychron as a gift to myself over the holidays. Really liking the Q9. A lot of Keychron's boards are quite simply overpriced, at their regular MSRP.

Keychron Q1 HE
Bought myself the Q9 this season, especially since it was dropped down to $55. I would've preferred the "Plus" version with the split spacebar, but worst case I'll get my own PCB manufactured; $55 was enough of a deal it's practically worth it for the case alone. Swapped in some HMX Firecracker swit

I am 40% there
So I'll give you a few words on each. Hyper40: Probably my favorite but likely hard to find. You get to have two numpads and I mapped the layers so the numbers and cursor keys can be switched on both the left and right individually.MiniVan: A total classic and what might be the first major hit in th
