Keychron admits to manufacturing defects with their keyboards, does not offer a recall, but offers a blog for people to read. Keychron is not a reliable company, this is not how business is done. Avoid their products.
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

Keychron is giving its popular mechanical keyboard designs to the community
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.

NUT65 - my thockiest board so far.
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

Discussion: The entry-level mechanical keyboard market is confusing
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

What do you think about keyboards with aluminum bodies?
I have three aluminum boards. Cidoo V65, Boyi GMK67, and Cidoo V98. I've also built my friend a Cidoo V75 and a Monsgeek M3, and another friend a Keychron V1. They all feel super solid to type on and very strong.

Keychron Keyboards Quality
I consider Keychron to be my favorite brand. Mostly because I’m a Mac person and they work so well with them. I know other brands have Mac modes now (I started out in 2021 getting into keyboards), but I just like Keychron. In terms of quality, I’ve been happy with all of the Keychron boards I’ve had

Are aluminum Keyboards always better than plastic-made ones?
It’s just a matter of preference when it comes to alu vs plastic for the case material. I think that good plastic keyboards can sound absolutely amazing. I think my Keychron V1 sounds pretty damn good for a plastic case. I’ve not tried but the Bauer Lite should be a really nice sounding keyboard for

Keychron V1 Wireless Keys are double typing
Re "The firmware change log said it "1. Fixed key double press issue caused by snap action."": It isn't clear if that is really the reason For doubling down on treating the symptoms, Keychron has also at the same time changed the default key debounce time from the already high 20 ms to a whopping 50

Inherited Glorious GMMK 3 Pro
I have the CSTM 80 and the removable plates are pretty neat idea. I recently built a Weikav Nut65 that I posted a review of here a few days ago that has the ball catch release mechanism and pogo connectors that allow the PCB to magnetically snap to the base and be connected to the built in batteries

Good budget gaming mouse???
That shape looks like a G502 or basilisk. If you don't need the sniper button or dpi, I would suggest an mchose g7 If you want the sniper button maybe a keychron m7 They are both wireless but can be used in wired mode. Otherwise maybe try find a cheap wired G502 or razer basilisk, the quality will b
