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.

    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?

      Mine does have the volume knob, got the special edition purple.

      If you like weight this one has it, I’m almost certain if there is a earthquake it won’t even move.

      Had it for almost 2 years.

        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.
