I just got this new keychron k10 max, for anyone stuck on deciding a keyboard, I definitely recommend this one. The sound and feel is amazing and it just feels high quality.
Due to the tallness of the keyboard I'm using a tissue pack as wrist rest, lol.
Overall sentiment: Very good. (my first keyboard besides one from a 30 bucks kb,mouse&headphones set, so opinion isn't important at all)
Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy my first Keychron keyboard ever. I've done some research I came to the conclusion that is probably either K10 Max or V6 Max, they seem to differ a lot. While V6 Max has more features and additional dongle the K10 Max has steel plate and seems recently released.
What do you guys suggest? Feel free to add recommendations other than the ones I'm aiming for.
My intentions with the keyboard is mostly for coding, gaming and Blender. I want a more tactile feeling but without making every keystroke sound like a bullet.
Summary
Looking for 100% (or 80% TKL) mechanical keyboard with light linear switches, ISO Nordic layout, PBT keycaps. Will always be used in wired mode and never moved around. Must be hot-swappable and support all types of keycap profiles, should I choose to replace them. Full wishlist in the Details section below.
Could the K10 Max be the one for me, despite all of the recent negativity surrounding Keychron at the moment? It seems to be solid (at least heavy), is not gasket-mounted, will always be connected using USB-C, and will never be moved around. Also, I do not intend to use it for gaming or program it. I just need a solid, reliable keyboard for office (programming) work. Using it like that, should I still expect problems?
Details
Living in Denmark, I have very few options when it comes to mechanical keyboards that satisfy the following criteria:
- Layout: ISO Nordic
- Narrow bezel in front
- PBT keycaps.
- Medium height profile: Cherry, OEM, XDA, OSA, or similar.
- Black on white/beige/gray lettering.
- No sharp edges on the keycaps.
- If prebuilt, lettering on keycaps should not be moved to the top (number row especially) because of any northfacing lighting.
- Linear switches with low actuation force (<= 45).
- Southfacing LEDs (if any). If northfacing, must not interfere with keycaps of any kind, such as Cherry profile.
- Shine-through irrelevant.
- No scratchiness or ping.
- Plastic top. Not metal. Not naked like SteelSeries Apex.
- Not gasket-mounted.
- Full-size 100% or TKL 80%. Not 96% or 75%
- USB-C.
- 2.4GHz must be available if wireless is supported.
- Hot-swappable.
- F1-F12 in their traditional positions. Not mashed together to make room for a knob or extra special keys.
- Weight around 1.2 kg or more for 100% fully assembled.
Most brand names in the full 100% or 80% TKL sizes are pretty terrible in one or more respects.
As far as I can tell, based on that leaves me with:
- Keychron K10 Max.
- Ducky One 3
- Varmilo VPT109
- Akko 5108B
The K10 Max seems to check the most boxes.
The SteelSeries Apex Pro Gen 3 looked like a contender until I learned that it could be problematic to replace the keycaps, seeing that I know that I do not like the keycaps it comes with.
I am willing to pay extra for a different set of keycaps. Barebones offerings in 100% or 80% TKL sizes are virtually non-existent in Danish webshops (or German Amazon).
I got an email yesterday that the K10 max has been released.
What are the main differences between the V and the K line? How do these specific models differ and which one should I go for? V6 max for $99 or K10 max for $119?
Hi all, I have been doing a lot of research on finding a good full-size wireless keyboard and I have decided on Keychron.
Although there are 3 different models for the K10. Max, V2 and Pro. Looking at these 3 models they look almost the exact same and are advertised like they are the same thing.
Is someone able to help explain the differences between the three models?
