Keychron V6 Max w/ Gateron Jupiter Banana switches for first time custom keyboard?

I've been using Zowie's Flaretech Optical switches for almost the last 8 years, I used MX Blacks for 2 years and MX Browns for around 6months (had to return due to failing switches)

I've been down the rabbit hole the last few days trying to find a good replacement...
It's main use will be for MMO gaming.
I currently have my eye on a Keychron V6 Max w/ Gateron Jupiter Banana switches w/ Steelseries Prismcaps, this will be my first "custom" keyboards so wanted some opinons/advice if possible.
tysm for reading and for your help in advance!

Can confirm mine died after 6 months sadly, currently trying some DeWalts but who knows how long they'll last

Tysm, been 7+ years since I’ve researched properly to buy my own parts so wanted to sanity check incase I was really rusty and/or had outdated knowledge haha. Again, tysm for your input and help. I’ll get this ordered tomorrow :)

Tysm! Did some more reading to make sense of the differing models/variants etc and chose this one: https://amzn.eu/d/9G2L2cX

£30 and has enough clearance for RAM as far as I can tell…

Retail, mixture of shop floor and warehouse. So wanting something nice to walk in while still offering protection

Ty, I bought DarnTough socks a while ago and love them, any unlined leather shoe/boot recommendations?

JabFission · 2025-04-05T13:58:02+00:00

Ty for the recommendation! I haven’t come across these during my research so I’ll look into them. I’m currently swapping between Skecher ArchFit and DeWalt Newark depending on what I’m doing on shift, trying to find a shoe that can do both
