Keychron K5 SE Hot-swappable Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Ultra-Slim Full Size 104 Keys White Backlight Bluetooth/Wired Aluminum Gaming Keyboard for Mac Windows, Low Profile Gateron Brown Switch

i tried 4 or 5 different mechanical keyboard brands until finding this one, which is exactly what i was looking for. everything that's needed on a keyboard, and no useless bells and whistles that do nothing but entice wannabe streamers to buy it for their insta feed. the minimalist design of this keyboard along with the low profile give it the smallest possible footprint on the desk, and it's built like a tank.i love it so much i bought a second one for work.

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this keyboard to replace a old CM quickfire rapid tenkeyless keyboard with Cherry MX brown switches. A few keys had the switches stop working and since they are soldered in, I began browsing for replacement options. I initially chose brown switches because I was not sure if I would like the significant click that came with other options like blue or green switches but I have found I realy like the satickfying tactile click that came with them. I looked at seveal options including all of Logitechs offerings since I have been a die hard logitech periphreal user for a long time and they have always stood by their products. The thing that really stuck out to me and made me select this keyboard was the fact that It was much cheaper than its competitors in the market for low profile options, has lots of after market choices like inidvidually swapping switches, replacing and customizing switches with other types, and the form factor is fantastic. At work I do most of my other typing on low profile laptop keyboard so this feels more natural and is easier for me to maintain. Because of the bluetooth function I can even us this keyboard to pair with my Ipad or laptop for a better typing experience. I will update this review if I have any Issues but so far with a week of use I have very much enjoyed it. I have attached a video for anyone to see how the gateron blue switches sound.

I purchased the keyboard on black Friday. The keyboard was packaged well and instructions for setting up were easy. All the keys worked except for the letter "L". I was panicking at first. I removed the key and switch and swapped the switch with the "F12" key. Not sure why but both keys work fine in their new positions, I think it was just some connection issue between the switch in that position and the board. I decided not to reach out for support or return the board because it works fine now. I do wish that there was an extra switch provided for moments like this.I really like the feel of the keyboard, it has great sound. I use it plugged in rather than Bluetooth for connectivity so can't comment on that, wried has been super responsive and easy. I do with that there were some more options for the backlighting, Im not sure exactly how the battery light works but sometimes it's red or green while it is plugged in. It can be a little bright in a dark room but not a big deal.Overall super pleased with the keyboard but I will comment if something goes wrong.

There are a lot of pros for this keyboard:- At this price point (for complete build) it's really high quality- Backlight custimization, case, and USB-C are great- Gateron switches are fantastic- Hot-swappable is a must if you plan to change anything or expiriment down the roadCons:- Keycap profile is unusable ( at least for me). This was my biggest issue, the "stair-step" low-profile combined with small keycaps and space in between keys is very different and difficult to type on. If you only use it for gaming it would be ok at best, but for typing at all its very annoying with lots of fingers running into the side of keys and typos.- Keycaps are extremely difficult to replace because of the "offset" stabalizers. There are only a couple available and the color/profile/materials are extremely limited.- It does have that annoying charge light that everyone complains about.I ended up returning it because you can't readily find keycaps to replace the "triangle offset" keys that are basically obsolete now, and the ones it comes with are really badly shaped.

Very slim and portable but sturdy. Be careful putting it in a bag, some of the top corner key caps will fall off rather easily and could get lost. My mainIt ships with Mac keys, but now that I've found the correct keys for Windows, it works like any Windows KB.My main complaints are:Direct replacement extra low profile original keycaps are NOT available. KeyChron does not explain why, but I've reached out to them a couple times now and their customer service says they do not sell a full replacement set of caps that exactly match the originals. This is extremely annoying because the next best, slimmest keys they will sell in a full set are larger in every dimension and do not match the originals in aesthetics. They've told me they can sell me INDIVIDUAL cap replacements for SOME of the keys, but not all. Highly unusual and a major ding on this keyboard.For whatever reason my right pinky finger ALWAYS inadvertently hits the F11 key and maximizes whatever app I'm typing in. This is the only keyboard out of hundreds I've used that has this issue, so I have to assume there is some sizing trickery going on with the top two rows. Pretty annoying, but still a nice quiet clicky KB. I replaced the F11 key with a much taller keycap from another KB and that has prevented the inadvertent strikes on the "fullscreen" F11 key. Clumsy workaround, but it ... works.

I love mechanical keyboards but most of them have big keys that are really high, so it's hard for my fingers to reach, this is lovely because I can comfortably reach most of the keys and I still get that satisfying click of the mechanical aspect
