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

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

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

First time having a proper budget for a keyboard, please help?
ngl moving from a £30 board to something proper is a huge jump. for £200 you can get something that'll last years. keychron v1 is a solid 75% prebuilt around £100, leaves you budget for nicer keycaps later. if you want full size, leopold fc900r is built like a tank and sounds great stock. for buildi

75% wireless keyboard with knob
i went through something similar with my azoth last year and the pin connection issue drove me nuts. the keychron v1 max is solid but honestly the nuphy air75 v2 has been way more reliable for me. battery lasts about 3 weeks with rgb on low and the build quality feels way better than epomaker stuff.
