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

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

And we're LIVE with the official Slay the Spire keyboard collection with a special LAUNCH CODE!

Site says these are themed Keychron V1 Max's. I actually own one of those and they're generally regarded as a great value for their price. Really happy with mine and the latency on 2.4 wireless is super low for any gaming situation. A lot of the price here is in the design and art, but the keyboard

I'm too picky and can't find a keyboard for my taste and budget

Keychron V1 Ultra* 8k? The wireless is a gimmick but it fits in your price point, is a 75%, has a knob, and looks pretty good. Plus it's hotswappable so if you don't like the stock switches you can upgrade later. Rainy75 is also a very cute board imo and would be my personal pick. Doesn't have a kno

First keyboard that I built myself! (Lucky65v2)

Board: Lucky65v2 Switches: Gateron Milky Yellow Pros (KS-3) Keycaps: Shirakawa (Dye sub PBT) from Pressplay (not sure if it's a clone sorry) Not my first mechanical keyboard (that was the Keychron v1), but the first I built from a barebones kit! Mostly inspired to try because I wanted a keyboard som

Vrijedi li?

Ne, uzmi keychron v1 max, osobno koristim, puno bolja od corsair-a i logitecha Isto 75%, manje para, bolja kvaliteta. Imas i alternative u drugim velicinama, open source driveri koje mozes konfigurirati, osjecaj tipkanja nemjerljivo bolji, ja sam na svojoj napravio tape mod i feeling je ko tipkovnic

Iofi accidentally poured water on her keyboard

In my country it's 115€ for the basic keyboard (Keychron V1 Max) versus 156€ for the Reine version. That's a pretty tame premium for a themed keyboard.

New to Hall Effect- opinions?

Keychron has two brand new magnetic boards on Amazon recently, which is why there are no reviews. The J2 HE is based on the Jamesdonkey J2 case, and the J8 HE seems to be the Keychron V1 case. I expect the PCBs and firmware are similar to the other Keychron magnetic boards... I would go with the J2,
