It started failing after one week, due to loose hotswap sockets (reseating and replacing switches only provided a temporary solution). Hotswap socket picture.

There really does not seem to be consensus on which keyboard to get if you're buying your first. I was going to get Keychron V6 Max b

Nearly all of Keychron. For example, the following.
