got a cheap Chinese 60% because the Corsair one for my desktop decided to suddenly start glitching and die; not the worst in the world and has Bluetooth, but godamn the fn combinations are fucking bonkers; I think the most annoying part is that it has a dedicated Home key but for End I have to conto

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.

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.

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

Looking for a 96% board with a knob

for long writing sessions, the Keychron V5 Max is a good pick. The gasket mount gives a nicer typing feel, which can help your hands over time... If you’re into tactile switches, the Jupiter Bananas could work, but classic Browns are always a safe bet for feel and smoothness. Check out keyboardyeti
