V1

Nah, ain't paying $200 for a Keychron V1

Most of these are on Amazon and I would recommend them all: 60%: Redragon K717 Pro * ($30) CIDOO QK61 * ($60) Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA * ($54) Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA * ($40) Womier WK61 Pro * ($31) YMDK DK61 ($88 barebones, wooden case) KBDcraft Adam 60% * ($70 lego case) 65%: Womier VK66 Pro * ($39) Roya

Stick to QMK boards that use VIA or VIAL for configuration. Yunzii has several of these. 60%: Redragon K717 Pro * ($30) CIDOO QK61 * ($60) Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA * ($54) Royal Kludge RK61 QMK/VIA * ($40) Womier WK61 Pro * ($31) YMDK DK61 * ($88 barebones, wooden case) KBDcraft Adam 60% * ($70 lego case) 65

Because really no? For 75% in big 25, we can buy alu 75% boards like Rainy75 or Wave75 or something similar, not an old V1 from keychron

I am not that negative about Keychron, they have flaws but overall not that bad. QC has suffered apparently, though they have acknowledged that and supposedly are working on fixing that. We will see. The designs are what they are, some find them boring and overpriced. I would say if a design works,

Pc plate, as a $49 you can tell it is not the best quality. Possible between this is my 2nd plastic plastic since my first keyboard which was keychron v1 so im bias for metal housing. Still stand that its nice for the price. Only downside I had was the daughter wire on fitting the silicon guide prop

I feel like it depends on which Keychron series you get though. I first tried the V1 Max with Gateron Jupiter Banana switches and thought it felt cheap, from the case's materials to the light press feel of the keys (even though the Bananas were meant to be the heaviest tactile switch available).

What country are you in? If in the US, these QMK boards in 75% on up might be worth looking into: Inland Gaming MK Pro 75 * ($85 $50 barebones, $100 $70 prebuilt, in-store only) Redragon K715 * ($32.50) Royal Kludge RK R75 QMK/VIA ($51 with coupon) Royal Kludge RK R87 Pro QMK/VIA (hotswap knob(!), $55

The actual no fooling fair dinkum genuine Skyloong GK61 QMK/VIA is pretty good. The older Skyloong GK61 is OK, but the guy who wrote the driver is on acid. The ripoff fake GK61s by HKGaming and Geeky and so on are rip offs, stay away. Other options: 60%: Redragon K717 Pro * ($30) CIDOO QK61 * ($60) Sk
