- Hot-swappable Full Size Layout Keychron K5 SE: a 104 keys ultra-slim hot-swappable Bluetooth mechanical keyboard, included number pad that offers convenient access to all the essential keys for Mac and Windows included the dedicated Screenshot Key, Siri (Cortana) Key. The K5 SE designed to boost your productivity yet meets your desktop aesthetics perfectly.

The K5 SE is best to fit home, office and light gaming use while connecting with your smartphone, laptop and iPad. It also has wired mode with USB Type-C connection.
- Compatible with both macOS & Windows: With a unique Mac layout, the K5 SE has all the necessary Mac multimedia keys while still being compatible with Windows. Extra keycaps for both Windows and Mac operating systems are included.
- Hot-swappable: You can easily hot-swap every low-profile Keychron optical switch without soldering to customize your typing experience on the K5 SE (*This keyboard is NOT compatible with any conventional MX style mechanical switch). The redesigned low-profile banana optical switch is 40% slimmer than conventional or normal profile switches with a shorter pre-travel and total travel distance that triggers an input and early tactile feedback faster than conventional/normal-profile mechanical switches.
- Reinforced Body: Engineered with reinforced aluminum top case plus SGCC galvanized steel plate is added to the plastic bottom frame, making the K5 SE one of the thinnest yet durable mechanical keyboards on the market with stable wireless transmission capability. Two level adjustable feet makes the K5 SE more comfortable to type on.

Poor battery life, and slow reconnects.

for the office this keyboard is awesome, ergonomics are good, but it could be better with a slim wrist rest.
I opted for the banana keys, these are heavy brown alike keys and are very nice to type on, however for gaming they may become fatiguing over time.
The backlighting is great, however, I am unsure why there are so many lighting effects for white keys, opt for RGB if you want these effects.
I love the hotswappability of the keyboard.
all in all good keyboard, good price.

I build and use a lot of keyboards, but I wanted one I can use for work and gaming without need for a wrist rest. Besides the form factor being on par with my requirements, the switches are hot swapable. No it doesn’t take normal switches. You will need keychron specific switches. But this keyboard is my favorite of my daily users.
