V6 Max

No. I cannot in good faith recommend Keychron any longer. I used to be a huge champion of their products, but something is wrong as of late and they don't seem to be doing anything about it. If you want a prebuilt keyboard, I'd look at Wobkey (Rainy75, Crush80) or Womier/Yunzii, both brands of which

Re "there isn't any good keycaps for the V6 Max": The shine-through ones for V6 do work (though the light is even more feeble for the V6 Max, making it only barely acceptable (only really works in close-to-complete darkness)). At least they were available for the ISO variants of the V6 (first-hand e

If you by "they" mean the people who had problems, some of them have troubleshooted it, found the root cause, and fixed it/repaired it.

"allegedly" they fixed the manufacturing issues, but they never had a recall for all faulty products so ones with issues are still being sold. the major issue is that the keys in the middle of the keyboard would not work ou

I just got my Aula F99 pro with the Star Vector switches today and it is the creamiest keyboard I've ever had the honor of using. Its LEAGUES ahead of my Keychron V6 Max with the Gateron Bananas. Also the keycaps are much better quality.

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

Yes, the RGB light on the V6 Max is feeble, only barely acceptable in close-to-complete darkness. I have a V6 Max (I am typing this comment on it), with Keychron ABS shine-through keycaps from a V6 (they aren't very good, with the white paint for the legends blocking a lot of the light) Literally sc
