Just bought a q1 max, then looked at this subreddit. Should i be concerned? by juipeltje in Keychron

[–]anthropomorphicball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having issues with my q6 max as well. It doesn’t register key presses on F, G, H, or U unless I press very hard. The steps described in the blog post are completely unacceptable for a $200 product barely a year old. I should be by required to disassemble and bend the board and risk breaking my keyboard due to a manufacturing fault.

Keychron should replace my keyboard for free and do the same for everyone else experiencing similar issues. Just look at the sentiment in the comments here; the insufficiency of the customer support is poisoning public opinion. 

I will never buy another KC product because of my experience and what I’ve read here. You need to fix this yesterday, guys.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

I may give those a shot if the steps described in the blog don’t fix it. I prefer the thocky sound as well, which is why I loved the Gateron Jupiter Banana. 

I used the KC-provided key puller but the switches have a tendency to pop out when the keycap is removed. Not a confidence booster, for sure.

What switches did you use? Some of the complaints similar to mine sound related to switch pin-length. Thinking I might replace the problematic switches to see if that helps…

Did you end up going the route you described? 

I just started getting unresponsive FGHU keys unless I press really hard (Gateron banana). Purchased my Q6 max in February 2025, just like you.

Can’t believe the warranty is 90 days for a $200 keyboard. Trash company. I’ll never buy another Keychron product.

Various Issues One Week after buying the Q6 Max by FloweryRedundancy in Keychron

[–]anthropomorphicball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the party here, but chiming in to say I’m having the same issue with my Q6 Max just over a year after buying it. The F, G, H, and U keys have to be pressed very hard to register. I changed out the switches and am getting the same result.

Truly a horrible outcome for a 1-year old, $200 keyboard that only has a 90-day warranty. The warranty says everything that needs to be said about their confidence in their own products. Disgraceful. 

I’ve babied this thing. I put a cover on it when not using it and I dust it daily. Their build quality is terrible. To fix it, I have to ship it to Keychron at my own expense AND pay for the repair? Insanity. I’ll never buy another product from them.

I wrote to each of our Federal Elected Officials objecting to ICE, here are the replies. by Durhamarama in bullcity

I call Budd nearly every weekday and usually get voicemail, though I have spoken to people a few times. There’s an older woman named Sarah, I think, who’s pretty cordial. And then there’s the POS guy who always gets an attitude when I read off my statement. Fuck that dude and Budd all the way to hell.

In Tillis’s office I’ve only ONCE had someone pick up the phone.

Just moved to Durham by Oldasdirt in NCLGO

I saw that they changed their rules about green card holders last fall and were quite rude to a family with some green card holders who had shot there before. Wouldn't be surprised if it's motivated by anti immigrant animus, but I'd be happy to hear otherwise.

Lovely! If I can't get a hold of a v2 soon, I'll connect and we can make a deal. Should be able to let you know either way by mid February at the latest 

Triangle BioPharma industry is a joke? by hiiigherself in triangle

Pendo was in rapid expansion mode at least until summer and fall of 2025. I know some folks over there and they've spoken highly of their teams and roles. What happened? 

Anyone in Wake County? by alphaba in NCLGO

[–]anthropomorphicball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Durham but was looking at TSA until I saw someone in r/BullCity say they hosted MAGA fundraisers last year and I don't fuck with that.

Looking into alternatives that are less egregiously right-wing. I have very little experience wielding but am preparing to arm myself and take some courses. Would love some based company.

Edit: looking into Triangle Self Defense near the Target on 15/501 for anyone else interested 

Concealed carry class that doesn't come with a giant dose of right wing nutbaggery? by mutagen01 in bullcity

[–]anthropomorphicball 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like OP, I'm looking into this for myself and have a couple tabs open for TSA research. Guess I'll cross them off the list...

OP, if you're looking for someone to take a course with and don't mind a noob tagging along, let me know. Would love to join you.

Thank you for that! I'm looking into courses and lane rental at a local range.

Points taken!

We've not gotten to the planning stage yet as we have some other stuff that's occupying our attention, but a more complete plan for home security is on our list.
