Yeah, I have one of their keyboards. The keyboard is advertised as a QMK based device but it doesn't work with QMK software. At minimum using their website means they get a ping whenever I'm configuring my keyboard. At worst they could be asking for all sorts of tracking information, usage details, etc. Heck, since their website can configure the keyboard's firmware they could add keystroke recording the next time and I'd never know. Now, I'm not accusing them of that or saying they would do that, but it's possible. When the site goes down one day what do I do then? Local software will always live longer and have more respect for my privacy than web based software. I'm thinking about throwing AI at the problem and either working to make their site work offline, making standard QMK software work with my keyboard, or replacing the firmware with more standard QMK.

I'm not a big keyboard nerd, but I had three of their keyboards, two of which were declared QMK. As far as I remember, QMK software was extremely annoying from my own perspective, and the Keychron team was also dissatisfied with them (there was something about them being slow to add their keyboards to the app). I can say that I was able to customize my keyboards only after they released their own app. So huge chance that your problem is caused by QMK, not Keychron. Regarding app, i'm sure it can be made portable, maybe even via turning it into single file html.
