ohh, maybe only the Pro model has VIA, after a quick google, the regular one doesn't seem as straight forward, I see, good luck.

I highly recommend it. I've had one and it's been great. A huge upgrade from my gmmk pro, and I really like the Alice layout.

As you’re being rude when I’m just having a general discussion in a polite manner, keep your mouth firmly shut if you don’t know how to be polite

Yes I was on wire while using VIA. I read Keychron's guidelines, but I haven't find any JSON file. I'll check that tomorrow. I really need it, because I found out I miss the Alt Gr key, and Powertoys doesn't allow me to add it. And with the ITA layout that means I can't do things such as € and @. Which is very annoying.

You should be able to use VIA, but you need to be plugged in wire for it to be detected and if it still doesn't work, then you need to import the JSON file, it should be on Keychron's website. Once you set it up, you can be wireless and won't be depended on Windows to remap so you can use on different computers etc.

Yeah, I have polyfil in my q2. I'm not a fan of the silicon in my v1

The springs on the Speed Silvers and Reds are nearly identical, from my experience.
The difference is the leaves in the switches, which actuate earlier on the Speed Silvers.
I would personally go with the Silent Pinks myself, but I prefer the lightest springs available.
The Silent Pinks are nearly identical to the Gateron Whites, in terms of spring weight, actuation distance and linearity.
That being said, a lot of people don't like having the lighter springs for the reasons you mention.
I actually find myself having the opposite problem, where heavier springs cause me to miss characters.
Quite often I push the buttons as hard as I think I should have to, then back off, without actuating the switches.

Mate, OP's post history suggest they've been in this hobby at least a year. If you spent a year and didn't learn how to get right key caps from a vendor that clearly lays out unit sizes on each keycap - it's on you. Coddling people who farm for karma like is not necessary.

Wow. Very interesting. It’s amazing you don’t have any issues, wish I had that Foresight.
I went with the Dygma Raise and Cherry MX red switches. I went with high profile like you’re saying.
Looks like closest one to the gatreon whites are the Kalih speed silver. I was worried about going with those because it may be too light and quick to bottom out without feedback while gaming. (I’ve even using reds for the past year ) but maybe I should contact support and change them to the speed silvers if it will help with fatigue.
What do you think?

Bro are you retarted? It’s the Keycaps, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the build it’s just that the Keycaps are bad quality which is why they are so small.

The answers to this will vary heavily, depending on the individual involved.
A lot of people prefer low profile over high, but a good number, like myself, find low profile keyboards to be less comfortable than higher profiles.
Likewise, there are people who swear by wrist rests, and those who find them to cause more issues than they fix.
There are people who love their tented/split/cupped ergos, and others who find those less comfortable as well.
As far as your switch choices go, Gateron Whites have an even lighter spring in them than Reds do, and are still linear, if that is what you're after.
Those are my switch of choice for gaming, for that reason.
That being said, I also use the springs from them to lighten up other switches which aren't linear, like Zeal Zilents, and Gateron Aliaz Silents, which would normally be in the same range as the Blacks you have used.
Having worked as a graphic designer/typesetter for the last 30+ years, as well as being a heavy gamer for going on 50 years now, I believe the reason I don't have any issues at this point is due to a conscious effort on my part to keep my arms supported, and my wrists as straight as possible at all times.
That choice has limited my experiences with RMI to those involving co-workers and friends.
What those experiences have taught me is that you are in for a fight here, and it's not going to be a pleasant one.
Fixing this problem is a very long road, at best.
I hate to say it, but fixing the problem is much harder than avoiding the problem in the first place.

Very nice build! Is that a Bauer? I’ve only seen the Bauer with a like WKL 65% layout, really wish more keyboards had this layout, the double blocker is an interesting look.

Cherries are scratchy and poor in general when stock. I think that's general knowledge in this sub
