modern keyboards are built to tickle the childlike brain of the NPC
>wireless + timebomb battery (planned obsolescence)
>hotswap because the switches suck ass and it gives the NPC an illusion of special snowflake customizability while also introducing an additional point of failure (see pic)
>surface level "quality", e.g. a cheap aluminum case, foam inside the case to alter the typing noises, Durex lube in the switches
>tranny aesthetics to pander to nostalgia and a childlike brain
Old keyboards would usually last at least 10 years.
Modern "keebs" (like trannies call them) last way less than that even with memes like hotswap, and are far less reliable.

>Keychron V6 max with banana tactile switches
> So I purchased some switches and started replacing them. And it worked! For a day. Then the weirdest thing happened, the problem spread like a virus or something, I replaced the "I" then the "K" stopped working, I replaced the "K" switch, then after half an hour the "J" stopped working. In less than a day I replaced half of the keyboard's switches And... it stopped, no more misfires. Was happy for a day then the "K" key stopped working again. Replaced the switch twice, nothing.
>So I opened the keyboard up only to find out that the small piece which is soldered on the PCB and closes the circuit (looks like a small bridge) where the pins of the switch touch when pressed down, has gone loose.

>We are talking about days, not months! I've never in my life had such a bad experience, even with cheap a$$ keyboards
>The PCB flexes too much in the middle, the plastic parts cannot withstand a lot of pressure and the switches tend to stop working with no apparent reason and the bridges at the back of the PCB suffer from the cold joint problem.

>I don't think that the flexible PCB is the problem because this has also been reported on the K3 which is tray-mounted.
>It stopped because you're mashing the sockets into the PCB solder pads with the cardboard. There is now contact where there should be for the keyboard to work properly. The flexible PCB isn't the cause of the problem, but it exacerbates it, because flexing causes the already-inadequate solder joints to separate from the PCB. This is definitely a QC issue that Keychron needs to address.
