V1

It's a bit of a shame, I have to admit. I have 2 Keychrons (V8 (65% Alice) and OG Q2 (65%)), and I can't really complain. Both work great. Although I'm not challenging the fact that Keychron is not a reliable brand anymore. Since the whole HE boom, I saw many posts complaining about the quality issu

Yeah, the old ones were bad. They’ve made some pretty good progress on that, though. I finally went back and tried another Keychron (V1 max) and am pleasantly surprised.

Yuck. Just no. Here's what I would recommend: 60%: Redragon K717 Pro * ($18) CIDOO QK61 * ($60) Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA * ($54) Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA * ($40) Womier WK61 Pro * ($29) YMDK DK61 * ($88 barebones, wooden case) KBDcraft Adam 60% * ($70 lego case) 65%: Womier VK66 Pro * ($39) Royal Kludge RK R6

You don't need software for any mechanical keyboard unless you want to change the configuration or layout. If the keyboard is QMK you can configure it from Chrome or Edge using usevia.app and possibly a JSON configuration file. Small to large QMK boards: 60%: Redragon K717 Pro * ($30) CIDOO QK61 * ($6

I've been rocking mine for a week now. What an incredible piece it is. I come from a Keychron V1 and this one is light-years ahead in all aspects. I built mine with womier double-shot PBT keycaps and Huano Sakura switches. The combination is incredible, thocky as heck! The keyboard works perfectly w

If you're looking for a 75%, then it's just the Keychron V1. No need to even look at the Max version or 8K or whatever variants that were released later. Availability could be relatively hit or miss though since they don't seem to reliably stock the barebones kit or prebuilt versions with non-clicky

Eu tenho um keychron v1 max e adoro, a keychron é capaz de ser a loja que te dá mais opções para pt pt, mesmo que não exista nesse layout podes comprar qualquer um em formato iso e depois por keycaps pt pt. Se nao curtires o v1 tens o k2 mais elegante com aquele acabamento estilo madeira também. O k

Background / DisclaimerI don’t have much experience with mechanical keyboards. I’ve been using Apple scissor-switch and similar keyboards for years. I like them just fine — except maybe the lack of post-travel. I also have a Keychron K3 Max with Gateron KS-33 Brown (aka Low Profile 2.0) switches, wh
