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.

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

        3 years used both BT and cable.

        I have used the keyboard about 12-14 hours a day for the past years. I love that I can switch from 1 device to another by just pressing two keys for BT. (Laptop for work, PC for fun) Use it for fps shooters and I have had no issues with it.

        K 10 pro which was on sale for $90 at microcenter.

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