I would say so, i myself have a keychron k6 and its very nice, im just gonna warn you, if you open it up be careful about where the modeswitches are, mine broke off when I tried to put it back together so now I cant switch through modes or swap between mac or windows mode so be careful. Otherwise good luck, its gonna be great

I use keychron OSA at work. Love the shape. Also just used the Keychron K Pro Silver in a build. They feel nice to type on

Should make a nice board with those parts :)

Keychron K series are quite cheap in my opinion, but only compared to more premium entry level custom stuff like the Q1, Akko Mod 7, or other aluminum offerings from companies like Novelkeys or KBDFans. The aluminum frame is very thin and the bottom is still plastic so it doesn't sound great, and modding did not have much of an effect in my experience (I picked up a K4 about a year ago, tried adding tempest mod, switch pad foam and case foam and it still sounds IMO too loud and just kinda nondescript). It is a good starter board to help figure out what you like though. I generally recommend prebuilt Ducky Ones as peoples' first boards in to the hobby, if they're not sure what they want.

So is the aluminium frame worth it or not really?

I don’t think so. The K series is a budget tier, if you want the sound benefit of aluminum I would go full CNC aluminum. Then if you decide on a board there will be guides or sound test videos on various mods and you can decide what will make it sound best.

I'm typing this on one right now, (albeit with different switches and caps so the experience is slightly different), but I love it. I think that the wireless and QMK are great, and unlike some other people, I don't find how thin the aluminum frame is. If it has what you're looking for, then go for it!

I have these keycaps on stock Keychron v5 and they are v good. Only thing that slowly drives me crazy is how messed up the lettering on modifier keys is.
