Looking for a new mechanical keyboard (lemmy.zip)

I'm looking to get a new keyboard since my current board (Cooler Master K653) is in rough shape, spilled some coffee on it a while back and it's started to not register inputs randomly and sometimes doubletyping instead.

I want 96% or 100%, wired, hotswap, with a budget ~200€. Will mostly be used for casual gaming and some schoolwork.

I've considered Keychron Q6 Pro with K Pro Banana switches, but I've read a few scathing reviews about Keychron from 2024 and 2025, have their quality decreased during the latest years?

EDIT: Thank you all for your replies! I ended up buying a Keychron V6 Max since it was on sale, and Keychron was one of the few manufacturers which came with nordic keycaps as stock.

From what I've seen it's not hotswappable, otherwise I really like the look of the 6 Professional, but only for the cleaner look over the 4 Professional. It's definitely an option.

I think it looks best with the blank keycaps ;)

Oh yeah, super clean look! I was referring to the little logo in the upper right corner, which I think gives it an overall less clean look than the 6 version.

Ah right, gotcha!
