Please excuse me for posting this here, but since this is kinda a niche market thing, might as well get to the right audience:
I have this 96% layout MKB that I'm letting go, bought from Taobao. Bluetooth is not working on that unit and it is a hassle to return it back to China.

Kailh Box brown switches, PCB with hot-swappable socket, if anyone is interested, here is the link to garage sales - [WTS] 96% MKB

Also, if anyone is looking to get a Keychron K4, I might let go mine too. Just received it yesterday, but really is too tall for my liking.

I had similar issues with my keyboard being too tall. I learned to type with my wrists straight and now I'm ok with it. There are many articles about this such as this one:

Maybe you can give it a try for a few days, see if you can adapt to it. Probably healthier in the long run too. BTW, I just measured the board I'm using now and it's the same height as your Keychron, 3.5cm to top of keycap.

thanks for the tips smile.gif yeah trying to adapt, have to not rest my fingers on the keyboard when I'm not typing.
Also not getting a wrist rest, only a wireless keyboard and mouse are allowed on my mat haha laugh.gif

at least try out for a few days first.

there are other things in mkb also, like form factors, key cap profiles, layouts, etc, that require us to adapt to them first, before we can actually appreciate them.

Actuqlly I'm giving myself an excuse to get an IQUNIX F96 🤣
