Ajazz - AK820 MAX Plus

No other keyboard will offer better features, performance, build quality around 4k than the one you chose. People will say Aula F75 is better, which it is to some extent but the Ice Veins version is way costlier. So just buy this for around 4k and be happy.

This is a fine answer - depending on budget... QMK/VIA more than doubles my price though, sadly. The AJazz Ak820_max_plus_retro is a 75% keyboard. I wish I had bought a TKL layout because it doesn't drop standard keys - can easily add a numpad but you can't add a direct key for ScrollLock/Printscreen etc which I used extensively for shortcuts. If you have to press Fn key to access ScrollLock, then any kind of Meta_ shortcut is disabled, because that just 'locks WIN' - for gamers and annoying for anyone else. However, the abovementioned switches make it instantly office friendly with a familiar tactile bump, similar to many laptop and membrane keyboards. The keyboard cost me ฿1499, whilst the cheapest available QMK keyboards around here... I was tempted by the Keychron K10 - full sized, silent keys, but ฿4,400 is just too much over the price of ฿1,490 which can type REALLY nicely already... The silent tactile ('feels like an upgraded version of a Logitech K270 or similar OEM profile with tactility offered by silicone domes) switches cost me $11 US so the total price (฿1,490 plus ฿365) was still under $50 US. So you do pay a fair bit extra for software.

> but most good companies that I found here And we ALL know where 'Here' is, right? Personally, I travelled 2km and walked into a total of 4 different shops to get a feel for the keyboards. I was impressed with the Ajazz Ak35i - not only full size, but with a couple of media keys included (flat rubber - membrane maybe) plus a bump to incorporate a knob and screen (i.e. not replacing keys). However, for less than 50% of that price I bought an AK820-max-plus-retro... similar quality, but no screen... and the drawback I'm appreciating now is that having SCrLock, PrScr, pause and ins on a FN layer means I can't do Meta_shortcuts (because Fn_Meta locks the Meta key...). So I'd say 'full sized - or TKL' because having a numpad that's in the same place, but can be pushed away to bring in the mouse is good too. I also learned in my first week or two that the light 'flying fish' switches praised by gamers etc... well they just don't suit me, and I made more typos than I did on a cheap nasty Logitech K270 (which is actually good for typing). So I ordered Outemu Cream Yellow Silents from Aliexpress ($11 for 90 of those) and now it feels like a supercharged membrane keyboard with precise Mechanical response but totally silent keys, and no rattle that you get with a cheaper membrane clacky keycaps. Bonus: Messing with Monkeytype - on 'awkward stuff' my typing speed was limited to about 50 WPM. With the linears, that hovered around 60 - a bit faster, but with more botched stroke typos... but with the silent linears, I'm now comfortably hitting 75 to 90 wpm comfortably. Oh, and the cost - keyboard plus Outemu's from Aliexpress totals the equivalent of $48 USD. Depends where you are, watch out for Tariffs if you're in Trumps garden of Great America. TL;DR You need to go find out for yourself, because what many people say is the best on here is not necessarily gonna suit you.

I just picked up an Ajazz AK820 max plus retro - I had membranes up to this point, and they mostly proved extremely reliable (resilient to spills, easy to clean) but mostly the issue was that the keycaps rattled and the legends just wore off.... So with 'durable' in mind, I guessed that hotswap is the answer - then it really doesn't matter if your switch doesn't last 50 million presses, or if you bought a KB with nasty caps and the legends wear off in less than a week - you can just replace them. As far as music is concerned, I missed the media keys on my Logitech when I bought another Logitech that had them on the Function keys... But with the Ajazz, I have a knob. If I turn the knob, it does the master volume - if I press it, I get Pause/Play. Then if I hold Ctrl, turning the knob does my Media Volume (i.e. turn down the music without turning down my master volume - or turn up the game volume etc). Holding Ctrl_Alt turning the knob does skip prev/next, and holding down Ctrl_Shift does my brightness - so a knob is brilliant. I didn't like the linear switches included, so I dropped some cash on a set of Outemu Silent Cream switches (about $8) and a month later, I fancied some nicer caps so I picked up some sandy/yellow themed cherry PBT caps for another $9. So with all things considered, my keycaps can't really wear now - Diesub PBT caps can go on for quite a few years and still look like new - and if the switches play up (I have 6 spares, I bought 90 and used 84) then I can just buy another set. The only thing that'll kill this thing is maybe a big spill... but I'm a lot more careful now than I used to be.

It's decent , I'd say a bit better than aulaF75. In terms of modding and specs.. any wireless keyboard these days supports both macOS and Windows + android and iOS, the only difference is software support which is usually limited to windows only within budget range option keyboards but yes it'll work with MAC as well,

you can use on other websites which accept razorpay. 2 days ago I bought VXE R1SE+ for 2.3k from NeoMacro using amazon giftcard. And as for your keyboard, aula is the only suggestion because ajazz ak820 max plus is kinda sub par; the keys are wobbly.

Completely depends on the board. Frankly speaking Ak820 max plus is not as bright as Aula F75. Again multiple factors. One is the switches in use. Most latest switches come with light diffuser which is better for light dissipation. Daydream awitches on ak820mp for example eats a part of light due to its design and adds yellow tint to it because of nylon opaque housing. In no way I mean they are bad. They are still visible but we may have to run the lights at full brightness.

Ajazz AK820 Max Plus - 4200 - URX Mchose G75 Pro - 4400 -Genecis PC Evofox ronin wireless - 3499(current sale price. Usually retails at 3799) - Amazon These are great options but you might have to extend your budget by a little bit to get the best in the segment. You can't go Ronin if you are strict on your budget. I personally use AK820 Max Plus and have used Ronin over a weekend in the past from a friend. G75Pro also has been people's favorite. Get which ever fits your budget.

Would highly recommend saving for better product purchase. 4-5k is a great range for good set of keebs. I was skeptical earlier until I bought my first sub 3k keyboard cosmicbyte trinity wireless which is optical. Recently got Ajazz ak820 max plus for 4.1k. Would have been happy with trinity if I wouldn't have broken it while trying to mod. This AK820 max plus feels a tier above in its stock state. Gonna explore different switches and keycaps for varying typing feel often to make the best out of it.

Have you looked up the Ajazz AK820 Max Plus (the orange,grey beige version) on Temu? A while ago it was going for around $30-$40 depending on the country/region. I got it for around $30 a couple of months ago. If you make a new account you might get some additional new user discount. It's got the linear Flying Fish switch, 8000mah battery, Tri-mode. The sound isn't really thocky tho, i think its a bit muted and sounds more Clacky. I didn't really care for the stock switches and replaced them with box jades fairly quickly and now using White Owls. The flying fish switches seemed very light to me and I was getting a lot of accidental presses with those. Other than that the board has been working perfectly for me so far (I mainly use it in bluetooth mode only). There is one more issue of the driver. This specific board, the AK820 Max Plus (tri-mode with no screen), has two different drivers for it. An XY version and a BY version. I guess there are two variants of the board. The main difference that I've seen is that one version (the one I have) can only connect to it's specific driver software in Wired mode and will not work with the other version driver. The only downside of this is that I cannot use the Music Equalizer RGB backlight effects in wireless mode. While the other keyboard variant can connect to the driver software in wireless modes ( I saw that in a video so I don't know if it was by bluetooth or 2.4 dongle).

# Ajazz AK820 MAX Wireless Believe me. Its amazing

The Ajazz AK820 Max is already wireless capable. There is a BT/USB/2.4G selector switch on the back of the keyboard next to the USB port. That selects between Bluetooth, USB wired, and 2.4GHz wireless modes.

Hello everyone, I have 2 problems with my AJAZZ AK820 MAX HE and I'm hoping if someone can help me. I have bought this keyboard recently and i'm overall quite happy with it, sounds nice, feels good. I just can not get the keyboard to connect with the software/driver for it. It just won't work at all. Also, when i press a key, my pc often does not register it. For example -> I press D while playing a game and my character won't move. It does work when I almost slam my finger on the key, only then it will register. Please help me with this. I really want to use it more often, but because of these problems, I can't use it.
