5.0 out of 5 stars Total Upgrade

C.T. · October 11, 2024

I type all day and hate the stock keyboards most offices provide. I also strongly prefer low-profile keyboards. And I’m in finance and data analytics so I absolutely need at least a num-pad. This keyboard ticked all the boxes, with the added bonus of being mechanical.I went with the RGB keyboard so I could have hot-swappable switches if I ended up liking the mechanical keeb. Turns out, I love my brown switches so I probably could’ve just gone with that. But I do like the digital rain light show that’s just bright enough without being distracting. The keycaps are beautifully ergonomic, with just enough of that tactile click to be enjoyable without annoying my coworkers at work or fiance at home. The slim case looks sleek and professional on both my office desk and my home desk. The red and black color scheme isn’t my favorite, but there are tons of options to switch to later on.It was super easy to connect via Bluetooth, but I primarily use it with the included cable. I have never had an issue losing connectivity or delays in my keystrokes. I’m mostly just upset I didn’t get this keeb sooner.

Great product at an amazing price! I look for excuses to type on this keyboard. I love it

4.0 out of 5 stars Setting up key mapping software is a hassle.

Love everything about this keyboard, but if you're not a hardcore keyboard fanatic, setting up qmk and via is far from intuitive. Really don't feel like going down that rabbit hole as my time is limited, but it's nice to know the option is there if I find the time to learn it someday. Wish it was more plug and play as far as the customization software is concerned, but the keyboard works fine out of the box without getting into the finer details.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great board from Keychron

My second mechanical KB, and a great option for low-profile:I really like the VIA open-source customization. It's not hard to use to change keymapping and create macros, etc. I hadn't really planned to use it at all when i bought the board but i ended up using it to change the lighting effects and program the extra keys. - Gateron switches are great - I went with brown but i imagine the others are just as good. - The PBT keycaps it comes with are actually pretty good, although I'm not a fan of non-sculpted, stair-stepped keycaps. - You can find keycaps (both 3rd party and from keychron) if you ever want to switch things up. - Build quality is nice - aluminum top case with plastic bottom (two angle options for the feet). - RGB lights are kind of dim but they look nice and consistent, lots of options (though i just set it at one static color as I assume most will). Too bad there is no shine-through as the grey keys are difficult to see at night. - I use it wired so i can't comment on connectivity or battery life, but it only has bluetooth as far as that goes.Overall I do recomment keychron and I highly recommend the K5 Pro if you want a "custom" full-size, low-profile mechanical (I do not recommend the older K5 or K5 SE).

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice keyboard, questionable software support

The keyboard is nicely sized, with decent battery and connectivity, however the software used to program it does not reliably connect, so you better hope you can connect to VIA, set up the profiles how you want, and never need to connect again.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bought brand new keyboard - Was delivered damaged with missing items

O. · October 14, 2024

Returned item - was delivered a damaged item and box, was clearly used as the box was open/torn with all missing items. No usb cable, tools or additional keycaps for Windows. Surprised it left the warehouse in this condition as "Brand New"...

I liked this so much, I bought another and took it to work! Using one on a Mac and another on a PC and they work flawlessly for my needs. Really happy with the purchase x 2!

Keys are quiet. Low profile is sleek. Great addition to any home office.
