There is not a best keyboard, but I like the Array PC. For keychron, Q = top of the line, V = entry, K = wireless, S = slim and C = retro.

How about k6 pro?

I am not sure if you're in the US. The QK65 will have around 600 units as extras for sale on Jan 1. Shipping is going to be expensive tho, around 30usd?

The keychron k series has no customisable keys. Probably only important for the side keys. It's also wireless i believe

The keychron q series has an aluminium case. Will help with sound.

Keychron v series have plastic cases.

Mostly Keychron with QMK support. It's a firmware that does a lot of things.

Nuphy AFAIK doesn't have QMK compatibility, so you are somewhat limited in customization.

Difference between Keychron series is written on their site on the specs, layout and price, mostly.

So keychron is a winner? How is the typing experienxe

I've read that it has some problems with the wireless connection, but I don't know for sure, I have a K7 but that model doesn't have compatibility with QMK (QMK doesn't like wireless) and I never use it wirelessly, for the rest, great keyboards with good quality.

The way this hobby goes is that you keep buying keebs until you learn the truth: there is no such thing as "best one". The goal is to figure out and clearly define your own preferences, needs and ascetics then you will be able to find best fitting one by yourself.

Keychron K - "retail" keyboards with the least to mod, especially the low-profile ones are very limited due to unusual switches and keycaps, not programmable.

Keychron K Pro adds programming to them (QMK),

Keychron S programmable, low profile (limitations) and without bluetooth.

Keychron Q - proper custom keebs with plenty of customization and fully programmable. They are good to start modding and may even become your best. Many people will recommend them.

Keychron V - as above but with ABS plastic case instead of aluminium

Reviews and build guides on YT (from popular creators) are your best source of information but at the end of the day you can only feel the typing by your own hands and every "sound test" sounds different than reality in your room.

Is there any keychron Q series keyboard with wireless connection?

Q2 vs q1

No offence but why don't you go there and find by yourself? Tip: use filters on the left.

I can't sit here and answer your next 100 questions that take 2s to find on their website.

This you can see by just glancing on their pictures.

>Nuphy AFAIK doesn't have QMK compatibility, so you are somewhat limited in customization.

You mean limited in programming. They use NuPhy software for programming, not as powerful as QMK but better than Keychron K series with nothing. Therefore Halo series is better than Keychron in that matter.

Customisation is limited with Air series (low profile again but way better than Keychron low profile - you can use some 3rd party keycaps).

I got on Christmas feker alice, and it is really good for programming and general use. And it is hot swappable. Hard to get anything better in this price, and with good ergonomic. After years of coding ki won't ever again consider a keyboard without proper wrist angling. Next step is dactyl.

The K series works fine and has Bluetooth.

Q1 Pro

Why have you only focused on a single manufacture and why do you need it to be 65%? I’ve had the Das CODE with cherry mx switches for years now. It’s great, not broken, and you could probably find a perfectly good used one on eBay

Sorry but pretty much all you wrote makes no sense.

• QMK is an actual base firmware needed to use VIA which is only an GUI interface for QMK. There is no way to use VIA w/o QMK.
• Keychron got both and again - you can find out this on their website. The only minor inconvenience is that you need to load json file to VIA.
• KBDFans boards are powered by QMK out of the box (same for all other custom kit vendors). There is no problem downloading firmware for their PCB's. Nothing remotely illegal there.

Seem you got it all wrong.

This is irrelevant for few reasons:

1. It's not about Keychron we are talking about in this topic,
2. The post you are referring to specifically talks about source files. You do not need them to utilise VIA.

Also, I can see now that from the beginning you are questioning Keychron as a choice but I never recommended it. I only tried to answer OP questions regarding Keychron only comparing the options in the process.

Not sure if you need to relax but I'm good.

>... you wrote “VIA” compatibility in your parent not “QMK/VIA”

You surely need to pay more attention when reading because I haven't mentioned VIA at all before you were "asking for clarification".
