$250 Keychron vs. $80 Aula
Nice. Hope it works out for the best. After doing research, I bought a keychron v5 max and monsgeek m2 v5 for black Friday. I have used the monsgeek since then out of fear of keychron brand and it was sealed. I really like monsgeek. I have seen Aula f108 & Yunzii al98 as really good. Each has its pr

Keychron Q6 or V5 Max? Difference of $15 so I can't decide!
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

Just bought a keychron v5 max and I’m surprised at how ugly the key caps text is. For a tool that’s about words, the kearning is totally off and the pad print quality is so so.

I have a V5 I bought a few years ago. Happy with it. So I upgraded to Q6 Max. Had massive double key press problems. Returned it. The replacement was exactly the same. So I replaced with Q6 HE. Still had the same problem, just not as bad. In short I'll never but keychron again. This sub is littered

Wow. Had no idea the entire V series is so problematic. Thanks for the info! Looks like I should steer clear of the V5 Max. I saw rtings review on both and am concerned about the pretty high latency on the Q6... This is just for work typing so I don't think it's an issue? rtings comparison
