Looks good, but I utilise the numpad whenever I type numbers, but I'll keep the brand in mind since they actually have layouts in Swedish!

Thanks for your reply! I'm going to give the V6 max a try, but if I don't like the weight on that one I might just get the Q6 instead.

I ended up ordering a Keychron V6 Max on sale for around 120€, as it turns out, not a lot of manufacturers have nordic keycaps as an alternative. I could order custom keycaps for some, but that would end up going over my budget.

Thanks for your info, I've also looked into the V series, which seems to be similar to the K series.

The K4 Pro is on sale for around 90€, how long have you had yours? Any issues to speak of?

Oh yeah, super clean look! I was referring to the little logo in the upper right corner, which I think gives it an overall less clean look than the 6 version.

From what I've seen it's not hotswappable, otherwise I really like the look of the 6 Professional, but only for the cleaner look over the 4 Professional. It's definitely an option.

That is good to hear, so you've had it for about a year soon I take it?

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

Basically I think Keychron is over hyped and not good.

Yeah, I've read that a worrying amount, though I suppose that could also be the popularity of the brand causing more people to get them.

Most of the places I've seen the regular Q6 is sold out, the only difference that I can see is that the Pro version has a volume knob. I like a bit of weight to a keyboard, my current one is mostly metal and very solid.

How long have you had yours?

[–] OhShitSon@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 months ago

I did look into building my own keyboard, but I don't really feel like I have the time to research it that I'd like to. I would like to dip my toes into it when I have more time, and my friend said that it'd be easier to repair a keyboard if it was hotswapable, either way I'd like the option to swap switches easily if I wanted to.

I'm looking to get a new keyboard since my current board (Cooler Master K653) is in rough shape, spilled some coffee on it a while back and it's started to not register inputs randomly and sometimes doubletyping instead.

I want 96% or 100%, wired, hotswap, with a budget ~200€. Will mostly be used for casual gaming and some schoolwork.

I've considered Keychron Q6 Pro with K Pro Banana switches, but I've read a few scathing reviews about Keychron from 2024 and 2025, have their quality decreased during the latest years?

EDIT: Thank you all for your replies! I ended up buying a Keychron V6 Max since it was on sale, and Keychron was one of the few manufacturers which came with nordic keycaps as stock.

Absolutely ashamed to be part of one of the countries for this.
