New to keyboards! Looking for a hot swappable wired full keyboard!
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. I havent tried the c but ive heard mixed reviews.
