Keychron - K3 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard

K3 owner here, really happy with my choice.

I went all out earlier in the year and tried a bunch of low profile keyboards. Nuphy air75 he / Keychron K3 / Nuphy air75 v2 / Keychron B1 / Logitech MX mechanical / Logitech MX / If you want to buy a keyboard that will last you the next 5+ I would spend the $$ on the Nuphy HE or the Kechron K3, specially if you are going to use it for gaming. Otherwise the best cheap is the Keychron B1. I kept the Nuphy He, because I loved the magnetic keys, and the Keychron B1 because I can take it anywhere. My advice is that if you are going to be moving around with any of these, you must buy a keyboard case. Non of them felt like they would withstand a drop. Note: I did not try the lofee because it was the only one that required me to pay shipping fees if I returned it, so I didn’t take my chance. But I have seen great reviews.

If you want low profile and gaming then keychron k3 max is your best best. The typing speed thing is a personal thing.

It’s not the full key set you want, but I put together a Keychron K3 with YMDK DSA profile keycaps https://imgur.com/gallery/writerdeck-ipad-air-on-nulaxy-foldable-metal-stand-keychron-k3-with-ymdk-dsa-profile-keycaps-TtwxNcI#koN4qNF

k3 max is way better for 75% low profile, 2.4ghz, cable and bluetooth

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

If you want low profile, get an odd-numbered K Max line board. Make sure it's hot swap. Otherwise, get V or Q (although I would avoid Q cuz it's heavy, as you said, and you plan to travel with it). I would avoid the Razer because it's membrane and loud. Since you're traveling with this board, I doubt the people around you would like to hear the board, too.

V Max > K Max, but again, if you want low profile, you don't really have a choice and can only get a K Max. But if you don't really mind, V Max.

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

I'm typing on a Drop keeb right now, but wouldn't buy one today. I'm moving over to Keychron low profile. Has wireless, low profile switches and cost a lot less. Also has QMK/VIA support.

I adoooore my low profile keychron lots and lots. It's gotten me through work and games without a hitch in the 4 years I've owned it. Plowed through Elden Ring on release (1k hours in that game all on this board) + extremely high demand comics schedules where crtl+z has been spammed at maximum. Unreal value. K7.
