## Description

Product description Keychron V5 is a classic (96% layout) custom keyboard while retaining the function keys and num pad with many premium features like QMK/VIA support, PBT keycaps, screw-in stabs, Programmable Knob, etc., which provides endless possibilities and a comfortable typing experience! QMK & VIA Programmable With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects, even the knob, and more. All-Around Customizable Keyboard To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want. Pre-lubed Keychron K Pro Switch By optimizing the switch mold, the K Pro switch wobbles less than a standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed process on all the K Pro switches (exclude the clicky ones), no doubt this will ensure the best smoothness at your fingertips when typing. Programmable Knob Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the aluminum rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software. Support macOS & Windows The Keychron V5 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. Hot-swappable You can hot-swap the V5 with most of the 3pin and 5pin MX switches on the market (Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. South-facing RGB LED Lights The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. Double-shot PBT Keycaps Unique OSA profile and double-shot PBT keycaps Provide a more comfortable and subtle fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use. An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games. Specs

Review: Cannot go wrong with this one - Why did you pick this product vs others?: This thing is my baby. It's HeAvY! Robust and amazing keyboard. Spilt beer on it once and it never skipped a beat after a wipe up. Great base to customize later on as well, but I've been so happy that I can't bring myself to even swap the caps much less the switches. Have the Browns in mine.
Review: my new Main Keyboard - Love this keyboard! keys sound great, not overly loud but i like the sound it makes. holds strong and stable on the desk as well. highly recommend for price point as well

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good keyboard - quality build - needs better mapping
*by D***N on January 14, 2025*

I've been using a 80% keyboard for a while because a full 100% keyboard was just too big. But, I keep wanting to use the keypad. The Keychron was recommended to me by several people. They keyboard is solid and well built and is high quality. However, most keypads have 9 and 3 also function as Page Up and Page Down. I use page up and page down a LOT. And while you can map page up and page down to those keys, it requires the use of the FN button, and it awkward to press Fn and keypad 9 or 3 at the same time. You have to physically move youe hand position to do this and it slows me down. And there are other keyboards that have dual 9/PgUp, 3/PgDn using the shift key. I have also seen a few people talk about PgUp and PgDn being required for some games... wish I had seen that before I got the Keychron. So back it goes. Otherwise, it is a great keyboard.
