Review on Keychron K5SE Ultra-Slim Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Full Size RGB Backlit Banana Switch by Mateusz Dbski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

I would not write it down as a disadvantage, rather as a nuance: * bluetooth works with most bluetooth dongles in a peculiar way - it wakes up for a long time, the system unit does not wake up when a key is pressed. This is not a keychron problem, it happens with many keyboards. * No scroll lock, break and context menu keys. Replaced with calling chat, switching backlight modes and Fn. * No software to customize the keyboard, everything is controlled only by keyboard shortcuts with Fn (the full list is on the official website). * If I understand correctly, then keyboards with RGB backlighting have dark gray main keys, light gray functional ones. With white backlight - the opposite. Check before buying) In general, the keyboard is nuanced, but there are no special alternatives. There are a lot of English-language reviews, all the moments are well painted there. If there is a choice between K5 and K5 SE - the latter has legs, for me personally it is more convenient to type with a slight inclination. * Banana switch. In the end, I liked it - they do not have an "idle" stroke and tactile feedback allows you to more clearly determine the operation. But out of habit they seem tougher than full-size Cherry Brown.

Pros
  • An excellent keyboard - consider that there are no low-profile mechanical ones, and then there is also a full-size one. 2022 letters are well applied, some sellers have just engraving, without paint, and even applied crookedly. Be careful!
Cons
  • * When connected by cable, the charge indicator is too bright. * Blue numlock/scrolllock LEDs. Not compatible with all lighting styles.
