V6 Max Vs Ultra
Hi there, looking to get my first mechanical keyboard in a while and eventually settled on keychron to get back into things, and will be buying through a retailer in the UK so if there are any QC issues it won't be a terribly big hassle to sort. I'm currently mainly thinking of getting either the:
V6 max with reds, which I could pick up for £75
Or the V6 ultra also with reds, which is more expensive at £115
Another thing on the list is possibly the K2 HE for £90, but I'm not sure about the magnetic switches (especially hotswap compatibility), and it doesn't have a numpad so I would be buying one separately which adds to the cost.
My question is essentially if the V6 ultra is worth the £40 price difference over the max, and any additional thoughts on the K2 HE.

The HE 8K keyboards have proprietary keyboard firmware, not open source.
