Keychron - K1 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard

I think I'll go the easy way and settle with a keychron K1 max (hotswap) with brown low profile gateron switches fors starters. I really like how it looks. Thx for your input.

I'd say it's an OK choice. Don't buy direct from Keychron though, as their customer support is awful. If you can find it on Amazon, that's the way to go.

I like the Keychron K lineup for a more reasonably priced KB, and their Q lineup for high end. I have a Q10 Max and I adore it. Sitting behind me is the K10 Pro. The K10 Max is on sale for 140 right now. Don't think you'd get much better than that for less.

My first recommendation would be to look at Keychron. People do have their valid criticisms but their mid-tier lineup is pretty exceptional for the price. Recently I picked up a TKL from their R line, which has an 1800 layout, and I tried to be as critical as possible and walked away really happy with it. It has backlight, a tri-mode pcb, decent switches, and keychron put out acceptable keycaps with their prebuilts. The boards are hotswap so if you want to experiment with other switches it is easy to do so. I also have a Q6 Max and both of these boards are pretty well foamed out so you're going to get a muted sound. Not silent but also not loud. Their K10 Max I also feel is excellent value for the features.

I love my low profile keyboard! Keychron K7. It’s the best. (Could be biased haha)

I tried out Keychron K1V5. Love it. I paired it with a cheap A4tech numeric keypad

I have few from keychron and nuphy - all low-profile. I use them everyday home/office/livingroom and I do not even prefer one over the other, all of those are in ANSI layout and this is my preference, got the red switches for, like how tactile those are. I also have Logi MX keys but in local layot and just because of it I do not like it, other than that it is also fine. As for connection - I have the dedicated adapter, BT and cable, depending on the setup - I see no difference in response times while typing or gaming. As for RGB - I apriciate it only in livingroom while watching movies. Oter than that I do not care, I do not look on the keyboard while typing. From wow side - nuphy is much more eye-catching, I got many positive comments about it while using in the office. If you configure something - make sure to have the shine-through key caps, the "behing keys" backlight is rubbish. For config, VIA software - whatever - I never cared about it, function lock was always there, never needed anything more. Except for nuphy v2 - I had to set it,as was F keys by default, but easily done with browser plugin and VIA software, I think it is unified. If you need macros etc - all is linux compatible (except logi - this I have no idea), As for your question: "The best Gaming Keyboard to buy for Gamers now?" I nmy opinion there is nothing like "gaming keyboard". Keyboards can be good or bad. Good keyboard is good for gaming and typing, bad is bad for everything xD

I have a keychron low profile keyboard that I like.  Feels easier to type - less travel distance
