I'm looking for a low-profile numpad, and I came across this. Has anyone ever brought this before, and how was it? I can't seem to find any reviews on it.

Keychron K0 Max is an ultra-slim QMK wireless custom number pad. It supports 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, and a wired connection. And it features LSA (low profile spherical-angled) profile keycaps. You can master any keys or macro commands on it through Keychron Launcher web app.
The price it's too absurd to justify but otherwise it's at the top of my wish list.
An ali express version came out this week but very low double digit purchases so far.
I own the GMK26 numpad as a companion for all my Low profile 75% boards but the height adjustment is annoying, it's perfectly manageable but just not seamless.
I look forward to eventually getting this.
Hey!
I am debating between going for a full size Q6 Max keyboard, or a 80% TKL Q3 Max keyboard with the Q0 Max as numpad.
The Q0 Max gives a lot of flexibility w/ regards to desk setup. And the macros can enhance my productivity. But I do have some questions regarding the usability of the Q0 (Max) with a wireless keyboard next it:
What is the battery life like? Is it longer compared to the keyboard, considering you use it less?
Does it go into standby to save battery? How long until it reconnects?
Do you use two dongles with it? One for the keyboard, one for the numpad? It is not a major hassle for me, as my computer has enough USB ports. But it is something the reviews I watched did not discuss.
How much of an issue is it if both the keyboard and the numpad need to be recharged? Do you always keep two cables ready? Or does this not really occur, and do you just use one cable for both?
Background info:
After using my trusty 5 euro membrane keyboard for the past 12 years, I am looking into a wireless keyboard to minimalize my desk setup. I figured out, why not go for a mechanical keyboard at the same time! My main uses are for productivity: mostly programming and just regular text input. I figured the brown switches are ideal for this.
Price is less of an issue, as I have the budget for it and I want to get the best usable set-up, considering I intend to use this as my only desk set-up for at least another 12 years (but likely much more). I am not a mechanical keyboards enthusiast, so I would not buy more boards for my desk set-up. I might swap out the keycaps and/or switches at some point though (I mean, it is hotswappable, so why not?).
