This is an expensive keyboard but I think it's absolutely worth it for the quality you're getting here. To me the banana switch feel and sound better than any Cherry MX I've ever used. The layout is great. I love the volume knob, and dedicate button for screen snipping which I use on a daily basis.
Also remapping keys with VIA is a breeze so I was able to get rid of caps lock and remap it to something useful.
The wired/wireless options are amazing and easy to use and switch between if you are connecting to multiple PCs.
The only criticism I have is after owning a Q6 Max the quality of the chassis on the v3 is somewhat disappointing by comparison. It's not bad, but for the price you can get a full metal chassis that feels so much better.

Awesome keyboard. I'm in love with the Banana switches.
Out of the box, my first impression was that this keyboard is a little plasticky and cheap-feeling. However, the design and build is still excellent and it is heavy enough to stay put on your desk, which is what matters.The Gateron Jupiter Banana switches are rad. They're like brown switches, but way smoother without the scratchiness you sometimes feel with browns. The actuation force is a little higher, but whatever, they feel great. They don't have any click sound, so you won't be bothering others in the office while playing Apex on your lunch break. These switches are fine for both typing and gaming. Thes ones I got are 3-pin, but there are holes in the PCB to accommodate 5-pin switches if you want to upgrade later.The keyboard uses the seemingly-ubiquitous plastic plate/foam sandwich design for both sound and touch dampening.The keycaps are OEM profile, but have a more rounded design versus the typical OEM keycap. This rounding of the caps really makes a difference when it comes to comfort. I like it. The only downside is the keycaps aren't shine-through.Connection-wise, you can go for wired, Bluetooth or 2.4GHz wireless. Two(!) 2.4GHz wireless dongles are included, one for USB-A and the other for USB-C. It would be great if you could control which one the keyboard connects to, as this would let you switch between two computers. Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The keyboard just uses whichever one it sees first. These dongles can be updated via the Keychron web-based updater app. More on that in a minute.Physical switches are used to configure the main keyboard settings like connection mode and Mac/Windows key behavior (i.e. swapping Win and Alt keys). This is way better than having to remember some Fn key combination, as is the case with many keyboards.A big reason to go with this keyboard is the customizability of the key layout and/or using open-source QMK firmware. Keychron also has a nice web-based customization app that you can use directly within a Chromium-based browser like Chrome or Microsoft Edge. This is really nice, as you're not forced to download and run any shady standalone configuration programs from an unknown source. You can pretty much remap all the keys to whatever you want using just the web app (the keyboard must be connected in wired mode to do this). As mentioned, you can also use the web app to update the 2.4GHz USB dongles, although I could only update the USB-A one. The updater failed when I tried to update the USB-C one. Regardless, the web update feature is awesome.The bottom line is this is an excellent keyboard. Pretty much everything is done right here. The only thing that would have made it better is an aluminum chassis, but I'm sure that would have increased the price too much. You can't go wrong here.
