Keychron V6 Max, banana tactile. Brilliant keyboard, fully customisable.

Tray mount basic board. Get a V6 Max instead with gasket mount and knob.

V6 Max, rather. But only from Amazon or local shop, never order it directly from Keychron.

My condolences. BTW, K10 Max vs V6 Max: the latter has knob and gasket mount. Otherwise they are pretty much the same, I think.

I prefer it, makes bottom-out softer. Like a car's suspension.

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).

Of these? The Keychron. I have a 3098B Plus and it's a decent travel board (3-mode wireless) but at home I'm using 100% boards, like V6 Max, Q6 etc.

Recently moved to Keychron V6 Max (had Logitech G810 which I loved, but after 10-ish years, its started to double press). Been a couple months and pretty have so far with it and had no issues :D

I'd avoid Keychron after their PCB issues which affected my V6 max and their abysmal customer support that both doesn't stock replacement keycaps and won't RMA my keyboard that's broken due to a manufacturing defect https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.techpowerup.com/339280/keychron-explains-recent-q-max-and-v-max-issues-apparent-manufacturing-defects-caused-loose-switches%3famp

I own the original Keychron Q6, it came with shine-through keycaps, but I don't know where you could buy that model right now (might come up in the used market) - my only issue was that the keycaps it came with were not to my liking (weird texture and profile, not your usual ABS keycaps, felt kinda rubbery). I would suggest just sourcing a shine-through keycap set, and go with the V6 Max - it's the perfect balance between the premium feel of the Q series with the affordability of of the V series. Plus they come with Gateron Jupiter switches which are pretty nice. If you want to spend more then you could go with the Q6 Max if you want the aluminium case.
