Just got this puppy second-hand for a reasonable price. A Keychron V5 Max… I would’ve liked another brand, but these were just the only ones with VIA I could find second-hand nearby.
The plan is to slowly customize it with second-hand switches and keycaps, 'cuz I can’t really justify buying new stuff… Financially and environmentally!
Also part of the plan is opening it up to add some foam and do a tape mod… Curious what that’ll do. I already stuck some painter’s tape on the inside of the space bar, backspace, backward slash and enter keys, which makes a big difference already!
…But man, it’s hard to resist the temptation to order something new anyway. Also, does anyone have any tips for making the key with the Windows logo into a little Tux? I found this, but I don’t think that would ever look actually pretty…
Nice, I only use Keychron these days. Home PC has a Q6 Pro with Gazzew Boba Black U4T v2 switches and black side-print caps (except WASD, those are black Cerakeys). Same switches/caps on a V6 Max at the office, without the Cerakeys. My wife uses a K4V2 96%, kids use C2s, and I have a B6 Pro in my laptop bag. Love seeing more of ‘em out there.
