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.

Keychron K2 Max. It has RGB, but you can disable it. RGB tends to be a feature you pay more to remove, not less. It's also available in ISO, if you needed that. I think it's over your budget, though.

Well... Keychron has many 100% and 96% (1800?) boards but their quality is not all that great with the Max models. If you buy Keychron, buy it from Amazon / local seller, not directly from Keychron because their warranty policy is lacking. V5/6 Max might work (gasket mount), or K10 Max (tray mount), perhaps J5. Q5/6 Max is over the budget. I have a V6 Max and no issues but I don't use it much (having multiple Q boards).

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.
