V5 Max

I used to love Keychron, their keyboards were top notch and their service was good as well. Over the last year, I've had several of their newer keyboards just die on me, the V3 Max I purchased directly from them died a few weeks in, Keychron pulled this stunt on me. A V5 Max I bought from Amazon die

Q6. It is fully supported by QMK and Vial (because it a wired-only keyboard). It is in the main QMK project. Thus it supports the latest and greatest features.

I have the Keychron q5 max at home since a couple of weeks, swapped out the switches to TTC Silent Frozen.Best keyboard I ever had. (coming from a Leopold FC980).
