The classmates and friends around me, including some fans, have never known the keyboard brand of Keychron before . Through my article, they have also developed a strong interest in this brand. At that time , I bought the K2 made by Beijing Tokyo under the Keychron brand on Double Eleven last year . I thought it had good reviews and the price was affordable, so I bought it directly. I bought the K2-84 key white light red switch dual-mode.
This keyboard has also been with me for more than a year. The overall experience is superb. Whether it is typing codes at work, playing games with good friends after get off work, or writing articles alone late at night, it has accompanied me through a long time.

2. Reasons for choosing Keychron V5
low latency
Friends who like to play video games must have had such troubles. When using the keyboard to control the movement of the character, the keyboard presses the movement key. Due to the delay of the keyboard or the delay of the network, it is impossible to show the audience; When programmer friends write code, due to the frustration and inflexibility of the keyboard, the copy code is full of errors and cannot be run. The powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K flash memory of Keychron V5 will provide developers with greater flexibility. The out-of-the-box polling rate is 1000 Hz, making the latency of e-sports games close to zero.
Flexible switching between multiple systems
This function is the most suitable for me. My own home computer is Win system, and the computer equipped by the company is MAC Book Pro. One product meets all my needs for home and work. The dual system of win and ios Seamless switching is simply not too cool. I think the biggest highlight of Keychron is that it is compatible with win and mac at the same time, and has the same function as the traditional Mac system in the Mac layout macOS media keys (F1 to F12) Keychron keyboard is 100% compatible with a variety of operating systems, perfect for macOS, Windows , iOS and Android.
QMK/VIA key change
I believe that there are many keyboard fanatics who have a lot of personalized needs for their own keyboards and create their own unique keyboards. Well, this V5 adopts 1800 compact layout design (96% layout), which effectively saves your space while retaining function keys and numeric keypads. It is a fully customizable mechanical keyboard that supports QMK/VIA, dual-gun PBT keys caps, spiral thorns, etc., to meet all the customization needs you want.
Self-developed K-pro shaft
The keyboard switches we are familiar with on the market generally include black switches, red switches, brown switches, green switches, etc., but these switches are by no means all brand-developed switches. The K-pro shaft developed by Keychron provides accurate fluency when pressing, and is lubricated at the factory to increase stability while reducing swing and rebound, bringing a more comfortable typing experience.
3. Personal experience
The packaging of Keychron is very careful. The outer packaging box is surrounded by garlands, which highlights the super visual experience. The inner layer uses three layers of protection. The top and bottom are thick and elastic sponge pads, and the four sides are also wrapped with sponge. On the left side of the inner layer are small tools for disassembling and installing the keyboard and the Type-c cable, and the overall layout is eye-catching. In addition to the cool outer packaging, the color matching of the keyboard keycaps is also very eye-catching, coupled with the RGB light effect, the typing atmosphere is directly filled.
Small summary:
- Feel: smooth and silky typing, light rebound, suitable for long-time typing, hands will not be tired
