Keychron K5 QMK Full Size Keyboard Review

Priced at $89.99, the Keychron K5 QMK Full Size Keyboard is Keychron's entry in the low profile keyboards category. With 28 buyers rating it at 4.6 stars, it currently sits at #36 of 46 in our rankings. It's not a top pick - there are higher-rated and better-value options in the category - but specific shoppers may still find it fits their needs.

The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. In this price tier, you should expect aluminum top plates, doubleshot or PBT keycaps, and per-key RGB. If those aren't here, the price is hard to justify.

With only 28 reviews, this is a small sample. The 4.6-star average could move significantly as more buyers chime in. Treat the rating as a starting point rather than a verdict.

For context, the average rating across all 46 low profile keyboards options we track is 4.2 stars, so this product is meaningfully above average.

At $89.99, the Keychron K5 QMK Full Size Keyboard sits right around the $86.40 category average. 23 options are cheaper and 22 are more expensive.

The category leader is the Arteck Wireless Full Size Keyboard ($33.99, 4.4★, 28,787 reviews). It's $56.00 more expensive than the top pick despite ranking lower, which is a hard combination to justify unless a specific feature swings the decision.

Higher-rated options in this category:

• ASUS ROG Falchion RX Low Profile - $144.49, 4.7★ (239 reviews) · Higher rated
• Keychron K17 Max Ultra-Slim Keyboard - $104.99, 4.6★ (30 reviews) · Roughly comparable If pure price is the filter, the cheapest is the Redragon BK7114 Low Profile Keyboard at $21.84.

Probably yes , with a caveat. The rating is strong and the price is reasonable. Just confirm the specific features you care about - connectivity, switches, ports, whatever - match what's listed.

Best fit for:

• Quality-first buyers who prioritize a track record of satisfaction over saving a few dollars

7.4/10

Functional, mid-pack option. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing pushing it above the better-ranked alternatives either.
