Studio users with non-Apple keyboards - what do you use for Touch/Face ID?

Yep! Go ahead and check out the "Keychron V5 Max" - the volume knob in the corner is also a button and you can just program anything onto that button - I have it programmed to put in my main computer password that you can use instead of Touch ID. You can also reprogram any of the F Keys to do your b

Red or Brown switches

I'll second the bananas. I received a Keychron V5 Max last week and was waffling between browns or bananas and super glad I went with bananas. Exactly as u/ArgentStonecutter says, they're smoother than browns while still having a tactile bump. They're extremely comfortable to type on.

Help finding a keyboard

i made a similar jump from razer a while back. the keychron v5 max is a solid 96% with an aluminum frame that fits your budget and comes in white. the monsgeek m2 you mentioned is also a great pick - their pre-built quality is surprisingly good. i'd lean toward the keychron for the stock keycaps and

Вибір клавіатури

Чесно, я не великий знавець усіх можливих варіантів. Півроку тому проходив такі самі муки вибору, як Ви зараз. Пробував Aula F75, Keychron V5 Max і зупинився на магнітній Keychron K10HE. Це все дуууже індивідуально, але я для себе зрозумів, що в списку критеріїв з найбільшою вагою має йти зручна роз

Looking for a pink base or preferably a teal, light blue base keyboard

i feel you on the color hunt. that teal or pink combo with a full 96% layout is tricky. for tactile switches with some weight, check out the Keychron V5 Max in their purple or light blue - it's a 96% and you can get it with Gateron G Pro Browns which have a heavier feel. if you want something more b

Need some recommendations for a keyboard

i was in the same spot a few months back. ended up going with the Keychron V5 Max for my desk - it's a 96% layout so you keep the numpad but save some space. super smooth out of the box and well under your budget. also the NuPhy Air96 is a killer low-profile option if you want something sleeker for

Keyboard for everything

I have the mx mechanical and all I can say about it is that I really enjoy it. It works well with its dongle (which I also have plugged into a docking station as it’s for my work set up), its backlighting is nice with shine through key caps, and I like typing on it with the brown switches. It was my

Looking for a keyboard to use across windows and macos

If you want mechanical then Keychron is the obvious choice. If you want high profile and need a numpad go for the Q5 Max or V5 Max. If you don’t need a numpad Q1 Max or V1 Max. For low profile go K3 Max with no numpad or K17 Max if you need a numpad. If you don’t want mechanical then the Logitech MX
