Discussion: The entry-level mechanical keyboard market is confusing

If you're looking for a 75%, then it's just the Keychron V1. No need to even look at the Max version or 8K or whatever variants that were released later. Availability could be relatively hit or miss though since they don't seem to reliably stock the barebones kit or prebuilt versions with non-clicky

Are aluminum Keyboards always better than plastic-made ones?

It’s just a matter of preference when it comes to alu vs plastic for the case material. I think that good plastic keyboards can sound absolutely amazing. I think my Keychron V1 sounds pretty damn good for a plastic case. I’ve not tried but the Bauer Lite should be a really nice sounding keyboard for

Keychron V1 Wireless Keys are double typing

Re "The firmware change log said it "1. Fixed key double press issue caused by snap action."": It isn't clear if that is really the reason For doubling down on treating the symptoms, Keychron has also at the same time changed the default key debounce time from the already high 20 ms to a whopping 50

Inherited Glorious GMMK 3 Pro

I have the CSTM 80 and the removable plates are pretty neat idea. I recently built a Weikav Nut65 that I posted a review of here a few days ago that has the ball catch release mechanism and pogo connectors that allow the PCB to magnetically snap to the base and be connected to the built in batteries

Vrijedi li?

Ne, uzmi keychron v1 max, osobno koristim, puno bolja od corsair-a i logitecha Isto 75%, manje para, bolja kvaliteta.

/r/MechanicalKeyboards Ask ANY Keyboard question, get an answer - May 18, 2026

Personally I've never had an issue with keychron keyboards, and the V1 is fine. Mouse, though, I've always found to be super personal. As a programmer, I personally don't use my mouse too much; but for anything involving design or lots of mouse movement, I prefer a vertical mouse. That M6 mouse look

Response: "PSA: Do NOT buy from InputGear AKA "CandyKeys""

Ordered a Keychron V1 back in 2022, had 0 issues and shipping took only a few days.

Nuphy sent me a broken keyboard, now wants me to buy a second keyboard

Agreed, I got a v1 max 3 days after release in 2020 when I re-entered this hobby. It's a great keyboard I still use today. I really like how firm/soft their gaskets are. Some keebs have too soft or too firm gaskets and I think keychron tuned that really nicely.

New to Hall Effect- opinions?

Keychron has two brand new magnetic boards on Amazon recently, which is why there are no reviews. The J2 HE is based on the Jamesdonkey J2 case, and the J8 HE seems to be the Keychron V1 case. I expect the PCBs and firmware are similar to the other Keychron magnetic boards... I would go with the J2,

My sorta clean setup. Nothing fancy or super expensive, does what I need it to do :)

Ive had it for almost a year now, love it, never had any issues with this one but I had the keychron v1 max and had to return it under warranty 3 times. Got a replacement 3 times before the guy where I got my keyboard from just told me to choose something else of his shelf and I chose the K2 HE SE a
