I randomly got recommended Hipyo Tech on YouTube one day and since have been watching his videos. I haven’t got a clue about mechanical keyboards, but I have strong tastes in terms of aesthetics. Long story short, I kept checking shit out and stumbled across a keyboard he hasn’t reviewed yet and I think I’m in love. But I don’t know if it’s any good or is even Linux compatible. So… is the ATK V75X a decent purchase? Or does it suck?

The look I’m interested in, is the all matte black oka Gunmetal. I don’t have the foggiest about the difference between the switches.
It seems to be some proprietary Windows only crap 😭
Look into Keychron instead. Even their cheapest QMK/VIA options are legit.
Am I going crazy or does it not mention the software here https://a.aliexpress.com/_EwtHZdz
That’s non via most likely. It will definitely mention QMK/VIA.
Go by Keychron.com and then search for models elsewhere based on that. The K-series non-Max are likely older models.
Also go for non-low-profile.
Oof, looks like I’m looking at spending £110 including shipping https://www.keychron.uk/products/keychron-k1-pro-qmk-via-wireless-custom-mechanical-keyboard-iso-layout-collection
Worth it.
In fact I’d probably go for the Q3 (not Pro/Max). Low-profile is subpar compared to a full body aluminum board.
Hmmm, what about this bad-boy/girl/them?

A bit dated design and no mention of QMK or VIA. You are not better off with this than the one you linked in your OP.
You’re killing me. I’m grateful, but crying 😂 I thought all of their keyboards came with QMK and VIA 😭
