I have a pcb issue with my new Q6 HE 8K Wired. Looked around and it seems fairly common. I got lucky and don't have issues with no/double/triple press but it just randomly disconnects and the backlight stays on and I have to unplug it, plug it in, unplug it again and wait 3 mins before plugging it in for it to work again. Also if I bottom out the switches with a little added pressure (I type very light with very sensitive actuation) it just turns off for a second and turns back on. I was debating with buying this Q6 or a Wooting but I really like these Keychron ultra fast lime switches and the weight of this keyboard. Not sure if I exchange with Amazon, return and get a Wooting or deal with customer support and try to get an update pcb replacement. Only had this keyboard for two weeks and it was like this as soon as I started using it.
Biggest difference is no wireless connectivity on the 8k versions, but they're also slimmer, which is nice for comfort. You also have way more switch options for the new keyboards, since they work with n-pole switches, like Gateron Jade Pros and Wooting Lekker Tikkens (I've specifically tested those). I'd go with the 8k version every day of the week.
I got a wired c35 from Amazon for 30 bucks a couple years ago and it's been an awesome steam deck keyboard for when it's docked. My main q6 pro was like 200 bucks though, but TBH nobody really needs the aluminum body
