AK820 MAX Plus

If you don’t want the screen, just go for the base variant. To be honest, I feel it’s a bit overpriced right now. I had a second-hand Aula F75 that I bought from a friend, and at that price it was totally worth it. The Reaper switches were really good—just a bit loud, but that’s my personal preference. Unfortunately, it broke due to some circumstances. This time, because of budget constraints, I went with the AK820 Max Plus and did a few mods. Even after that, it still cost me less than the current Aula F75 prices. If you can afford it, then sure, go for it. But if you can wait and save a bit more, I’d suggest looking at the Rainy75—that could easily be your endgame keyboard. There’s also the Nut65, but from what I’ve seen, it’s mostly sold as a barebones kit, so you’ll need to spend extra on switches and keycaps. Also do one thing, copy it's amazon link in price tracker you will know if if it's current pricing is good or not.

Again, this is just my personal take—but I’m really enjoying it. I swapped about half of my switches to Akko Rosewood, used Retro J for the modifiers, and added dual-legend keycaps. The Rosewood switches have a really nice muted thock that I like a lot. Another big advantage is that I can comfortably use it in the office and at night without worrying about noise. The Reaper switches also sounded great—kind of a mix between creamy and thocky—but they were a bit loud at times. Sometimes I wonder how the Rosewood would have sounded on Aula if it hadn’t broken, but it is what it is. https://preview.redd.it/xkqmlh573yxg1.jpeg?width=4096&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=223ec59a3baee24c048cb659e6fc6d68c24d4151

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.

Ak820 max plus will be the best option in your budget. https://urx.co.in/products/ajazz-ak820-max-plus-keyboard-orange-copy?srsltid=AfmBOoqbigHeRWfc8UpDdE_Seka3284i2l17w76m5qNSkvYLO7WncIAz Nice sounding, tri mode connectivity and it has got the biggest battery in this price 8000mah.

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. If you have any questions about AK820MP, feel free to DM.

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.

If you have shopping voucher, get redragon ucal on Amazon. If you have Amazon pay gift card, use it to buy Ajazz AK820 max plus on URX as they take amazon wallet as payment method through razorpay gateway. At under 5k, I don't have any other recommendation at this point unless you manage to get anything from Mchose or Aula under 5k. VIA is definitely a great addition but there isn't really great boards in the given budget and it is really not as much needed if you don't play with key remapping and macros.

Push your budget and get Ajazz AK820 Max Plus at this point. At 4.2-4.3k it is hands down the best entry level option into this segment. You get everything you asked for(except the metal body. that is insane to expect in the said budget) in that with a massive 8000mah battery. No other board in this price range offers such big battery. If you are strict on budget, Ronin wireless is the only sensible option. It has its flaws but the sacrifices have to be made to cut cost.

Ofcourse, expectations won't have any limits until the reality hits. 😃 With the budget being flexible, you may also consider boards in sub 6k segment. There are a lot of good options. G series from Mchose F series from Aula AK series from Ajazz Xtro's kreme if I got the name right! and more... Just to give you an insight, the cheapest metal board fully built will cost you 7.6k which is currently out of stock on URX who sells it at that price. I am referring to Weikav Nut65. There are other stores that sell for close to 8k. Metal body expectation at 2k+ is nowhere close to reality.

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).
