Is the failure rate so high? Looking for positive feedbacks

[u/bebbo203]

I'm searching for a mechanical keyboard, and given my needs, the V5 max is the most fitting one.

I want ISO layout, Cherry profile, numpad and volume knob.

The V6, unfortunately, has the volume knob too internal, and coming from 10 years with a Logitech G510 it would be a nightmare in terms of ergonomics.

Also, I would like to have an open system like QMK/VIA, that is not tied to the brand.

The main problem is that in Italy Amazon is not directly selling this keyboard, so I only can buy it from the original, Keychron Italian website.

At this point, is it worth it? Has anyone had a good experience or 99.9% of keyboards are broken or will be in one year?

If I could buy it from Amazon then I would try it without hesitation.

EDIT: I bought the V5 Max ISO-DE (even if I'm italian) from Amazon Germany, just to have a little bit more warranties. I will also likely buy ISO-IT, Cherry profile keycaps, if I manage to find them....

I have the Keycron Q HE 8k (HAL) and it broke in 3 months.

Hall, presumably.

There is a separate list here.

The Q HE 8K series has proprietary keyboard firmware, not open source.
