In owners' own words

My Keychron V3 Max broke after 1 month. They sent me a replacement PCB, it worked for 2 weeks, then broke again. Keychron refuses to give me a refund. Never buying from them again.

I currently own the KeyChron V3 Max which I love but I have consistently experienced a double input bug and after 4 replacement boards have decided to move on from the company.

tldr; I had a bad experienced with a V3 Max, wasted hours and hours of my life on it, and will never buy another Keychron

I've gone through three Keychron V3 Max keyboards that all develop the same double-typing issue after a few weeks of use.

I would say for $89 (with shipping), V3 max is not a decent option.

I don’t even enjoy it for gaming. I set it for basic strafing and it resulted in my character standing still when I tried to switch directions.

Examining them closely, the switches this came with are the Keychron Super Banana, so that helps explain why they're bad!

This is also happening to me, also brand new V3 Max. What a weird bug lol, not a good first impression at all

I bought my Keychron V3 Max about a year ago. Yesterday I noticed the LED on my right control is flickering.

V3 max felt great until it started double registering keys in a month or so. Just my two cents.

I paid a lot for it, it shouldn't have this.

So I was just unlucky by getting old stock.
