Iffy About New Keychron V5 Max
- Typing Feel & Switches0 pts
So about a year ago, my girlfriend overheard me talking about how I wanted to build a mechanical keyboard and was checking out some Cerakey Ceramic keycaps. She ended up getting me a green A set for Christmas. Fast forward a year and a house flood later, I finally got to buy a customizable mechanical keyboard when I got the Keychron V5 Max from Best Buy. So far, I've been somewhat happy with it—it's a big step up from my old, crappy Razer Blackwidow. But I've noticed a few things that bother me: First, the space bar feels loose and floppy, even with the stock keycap. With the ceramic one, it's just too heavy and feels worse. I think getting a new switch might fix this, since the stock ones are Gateron Jupiter Reds. On that note, I've noticed that some keys actuate too easily with the ceramic keycaps, and I keep accidentally hitting keys. This might also be because I'm not used to these switches at all. I'm also unsure about the color scheme; I originally wanted a silver Monsgeek M2 for these green caps, but I had Best Buy credit I needed to use. The black with the green looks a bit off. Please give me your opinions: should I stick with this board or switch to something else like the GMMK (I think Best Buy has those in store)? If I stick with this board, what switches should I get, and how can I improve the aesthetics?
