$250 Keychron vs. $80 Aula

Nice. Hope it works out for the best. After doing research, I bought a keychron v5 max and monsgeek m2 v5 for black Friday. I have used the monsgeek since then out of fear of keychron brand and it was sealed. I really like monsgeek. I have seen Aula f108 & Yunzii al98 as really good. Each has its pr

Just one of many examples of why Keychron should be avoided.

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

Keychron Q6 or V5 Max? Difference of $15 so I can't decide!

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. And you don't have to worry about managing the battery's charge state (or a fire). Don't participate in the lottery Getting a V5 Max is risk

Just bought a keychron v5 max and I’m surprised at how ugly the key caps text is. For a tool that’s about words, the kearning is totally off and the pad print quality is so so.

v5 max vs v6 max vs anything else?

So far as I know all the recent (say, past 2 years) Q and V gasket mounted boards may exhibit the same problems. Keychron has a 96% "K" board that is tray-mounted so doesn't risk board/plate flex ejecting any switches. Other options: Monsgeek M2 v5 VIA ($100) Redragon K742 * ($56 with coupon) Nuphy

Keychron Q6 or V5 Max? Difference of $15 so I can't decide!

I have a V5 I bought a few years ago. Happy with it. So I upgraded to Q6 Max. Had massive double key press problems. Returned it. The replacement was exactly the same. So I replaced with Q6 HE. Still had the same problem, just not as bad. In short I'll never but keychron again. This sub is littered

Keychron Q6 or V5 Max? Difference of $15 so I can't decide!

Wow. Had no idea the entire V series is so problematic. Thanks for the info! Looks like I should steer clear of the V5 Max. I saw rtings review on both and am concerned about the pretty high latency on the Q6... This is just for work typing so I don't think it's an issue? rtings comparison
