I have the first version and I really enjoy it with MT3 or higher keycaps, and clickies or heavy tactiles. It currently has Gateron EF Grayish and MT3 biip Operator. It sounds and feels great. I personally never use wireless nor the right shift, so I had no trouble adjusting. It really depends on use case whether or not this is right for you. And I think your video was really helpful for people to decide! Not many channels talk about every aspect of a keyboard. I appreciate it.
So I reviewed this prebuilt with white with cat keycaps (think it's only $99)... the only issue for me is the right shift, at it's the one I use 99.9% of the time, which seems to be the standard Alice layout and you can't move it. I ordered an Ergo day one so I've had it a few months and on that one I just moved the up arrow to the right and moved the shift in - Ergo has a delete key BTW. Even switching back and forth between it, that one angles as well so your wrists are more open, and a normal keyboard my speed is the same about 120 wpm. Keychron actual modifies the Alice layout and moves out the arrow keys which would make a huge difference for me. I haven't tried one but might pick one up at some point. This is a great review on this, you definitely covered all the bases on pro and cons! Looking forward to your Ergo review!
Having to switch between Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz with key presses is annoying, but not as bad as having to toggle a hardware switch at the back of the keyboard, like all the Keychron Max keyboards. I'm baffled that Keychron still has this archaic was to switch between the wireless connectivity options
i have the neo ergo and i am now a fan of the alice layout.

Seems pretty decent for the price. It needs more plate options tho, hopefully, Weikav can at least provide a plate file.
best review

Is it possible to change the RGB strip color? I want to make it one color but cannot find out where to do it.

Wait...some people actually use the right shift key? 🤯
😆
I only use the right shift key :)
I do everyday, some specific coding needs a Right Shift + Insert combo and they are usually done with the right hand
Yeah, I use it as enter, since I have ISO boards. : >
