Keychron's gaming peripherals lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Also, the three levels of adjustable typing angle aim to provide long-lasting ergonomic wrist support.

  • Wireless and Wired: Connects the K5 Pro with up to 3 devices wirelessly via its stable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless multitasking across your laptop, phone, and tablet. Switch among them swiftly, and it’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows. You can also enjoy a USB Type-C wired connection with 1000 Hz polling rate which is engineered for the competitive game.
  • Hot-swappable Ultra-Slim Keyboard: The innovative low-profile Gateron switch is 31% slimmer than conventional normal profile switches makes the aluminum body K5 Pro one of the thinnest wireless mechanical keyboards in the market while still delivering a distinguished tactile response. You can easily hot-swap every low-profile Gateron mechanical switch in a few seconds to customize the typing experience without soldering. *The K5 Pro is currently compatible with Gateron low-profile mechanical switches only, as QMK does NOT support low-profile optical switches.

The K5 Pro comes with our unique double-shot PBT keycaps that made of durable non-backlight shine through PBT material with excellent oil resistance for long-term use.
