If you’ve ever sat at your desk thinking about how boring your standard-issue keyboard is, you’re not alone. You want your desk to have some personality! So you search “custom keyboard” online and realise that it’s not a straightforward decision. Keychron p rovided this publisher with a device for testing purposes.
This did not affect our views of the device, and our review remains independent of the manufacturer. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today The world of mechanical keyboards can be intimidating and a lot of models on the market are intentionally built to be quite chunky and intense looking! (It’s a gamer thing). A lot of these models can look out of place in today’s minimalist modern offices but there is a mechanical keyboard that incorporates the custom professional feel of those behemoths without compromising a slim low profile aesthetic.
Enter the Keychron K5 SE. I’ve been using the K5 for a little over a fortnight now and I’ve gotta say, it’s pretty good. The K5 SE has a slim, compact design that sits on the desk in three different positions depending on your ergonomic preference.
The RGB backlights have a huge range of different modes that you can cycle through (I prefer the slow fade through the colours). The keyboard can connect to up to three different devices using Bluetooth and also comes with a 2.4Ghz wireless dongle.
And if wireless connections aren’t your thing, you can always plug it in with the included USB-C cable. Th.
