Keychron K5 Version 2 Wireless Bluetooth 5.2 Mechanical Keyboard, Low Profile Milk POM Switch 100% Full-Size Layout QMK Programmable, White Backlight with Shine-Through Keycaps for Mac Windows Linux

I bought this keyboard because I wanted a mechanical keyboard that would still work well in an open office, and it’s been a great fit. It has the tactile feel I wanted, plus that satisfying little clunk and thunk when I type, but without being obnoxiously loud to everyone around me. I type pretty heavily, so I wanted something that could handle that gracefully, and this keyboard feels solid and steady instead of flimsy or harsh. It also strikes a really nice balance on size. My desk is small, but I still wanted all the keys, and this layout works really well for that. The low profile is another huge plus for me. Low profile keyboards help me type a little less heavily, which also keeps the noise down, so it ends up being perfect for office use. One thing I didn’t know going in was what Banana switches would feel like. I usually avoid red switches, and brown switches have been a nice alternative for me, so that was my main point of comparison. Banana switches feel more tactile than brown, but without adding much sound. They just feel really nice to type on. This replaced my Apple Magic Keyboard, and honestly, it’s a huge improvement. It feels better, sounds better, and I can type faster on it. The backlighting is nice, and I like the colors a lot too. My only hesitation is the rubberized, slightly grippy coating. I actually love how it feels right now, but I do wonder how well that finish will hold up over time. Still, so far I’m really happy with it.

Keyboard feels great, but battery life is not great. I find myself charging it every other day. Keys feel great and its much quieter than other mechanical keyboards i've used. The keychron launcher is great and allows me to customize every key and set up macros, though it is only via webpage and isn't compatible with Safari (which feels weird for a keyboard that comes with mac keys out of the box). I switch between my macbook pro and windows laptop multiple times throughout the day, and switching between devices is very quick and easy. I love that it comes with layouts for both windows and macos.

2nd Keychron keyboard I've owned. I have one with Brown switches which I love but with a 1 and 3 year old, it can serisouly wake them up. These Low Profile Milk POM Switch's are fantastic. A great feel and quite. Now to find an excuse to replace my brown switch keyboard.

Huge fan of keychron products. This is my 2nd keyboard from them and I've bought 2 mice. I really like the switches on these they're quiet and tactile. The build quality is real nice and the keycaps feel good. The backlight isn't anything to write home about but it does its job fine. Would've liked 2.4ghz on this by default but you can buy a max keyboard which is essentially the same keyboard but has things like rgb and 2.4ghz.
