V5 Max

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

If youre already looking at keychron, id say not to sleep on the max series (q, k, and v) all very good boards; ive run q6 max (100%) k4 max (98%), and v5 max (98%) and been very happy with each; just make sure you specify hotswap if you go with a k.
