Mechanical keyboard or Slim keyboards for typing and coding comfort
I recently got myself a Keychron K17 Max. It’s an amazing low profile keyboard. Feels incredible to both type and play on.

Worth getting a proper mouse or keypad early on?
Oh I bought most of this as an ST1/2 so can't perfectly remember. Mouse - Logitek G502 hero. Went for wired. Must have onboard memory because of NHS BS. Mic - Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CRKY7RSN?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I tried a Bluetooth headset first, but again NHS BS

Best sounding/most silent OEM switches for the K5 MAX?
Oh, well, in that case. I just bought the K17 Max with the browns, and I quite enjoy their feel and even sound, although Keychron's no-gasket design makes it a bit echoish. I also like laptop keys, the resistance is pretty similar.

First Mechanical Keyboard
nice :) similar form factor, i like my keychron k17 max plenty enough to keep for a lifetime (linear switch, for some reason the tactiles make it sound+feel like trash) hope you enjoy for a long time!

Fixing my MX Keys - making a tiny "hook" to hold one of the key hinges
Tx to the shopping option of chatgpt, I founded the keychron k17 max that seems to check all my checkoxes : low profile, hot-swappable, num pad.

Suggest a keyboard i can easily use for mac and win
i grew up with laptops and "chiclet-style" keyboards, so not only am i comfortable with my keychron k17 max but it feels more responsive than a regular keyboard simply because the key doesn't have to travel as far as a full-size keyboard. i guess their k7 is 65% but i really think having a knob elev

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - May 15, 2026
Hello. I’ve been shopping around for a low-profile mechanical keyboard with a 96% layout that is: wired, RGB backlit, and has quiet but tactile switches. I am currently using a Matias Wired Aluminum, and I love it, but I am a bit of a hard typer and its pretty beat up after 5 years. My budget is $15

Is getting a keychron worth it anymore
I recently picked up a K17 Max. I did swap out the switches to Gateron KS33 Chocolates at a cost of £37/$45 ish after a switch failure after a couple months. The build quality is fine and the keyboard is very average. The switch options (although hot swappable if you select that option) suck. Althou
