The study of the old house Part 12: Office upstarts, Mac/Win universal low-axis mechanical keyboard

Ciao Bello, I am Lao Fang.

The iPad Pro equipped with the M1 chip has strong performance, and it can be transformed into a small computer immediately with a stand and keyboard, which is fully capable of many desktop-level tasks. In terms of keyboards, the old house chose the Keychron K5 Pro mechanical keyboard. The biggest feature of this brand is that it is very well compatible with Apple devices, and it also takes into account the use of Windows systems, which is very suitable for multi-machine parties like me.

Keychron K5 Pro is a low-axis mechanical keyboard with a layout of 108 full-keys, which can better meet the needs of office input.

The keycap adopts a gray and black color contrast design, a very classic color design, with stronger business attributes; the red embellishment also makes the whole more energetic and less dull.

The keycap is made of PBT material, two-color injection molding process, warm to the touch, better wear resistance, and not easy to oil.

In order to facilitate the different needs of Windows and Mac users, Keychron also specially included function key replacement keycaps in the package, and users can replace them at will according to their paired systems.

Keychron K5 Pro is equipped with Jiadalong short axis, which is one of the main reasons why Laofang chose it.

The biggest advantage of the short axis is that it is thinner, which is much thinner than the traditional mechanical keyboard, and it is more coordinated with the thin and light iPad and MacBook. The K5 Pro is only 22mm overall, which is not only thinner than traditional mechanical keyboards, but even thinner than many membrane keyboards.

The overall thickness of the keyboard is reduced, and the pressure on the wrist is less when typing; at the same time, the key travel of the short axis is shorter, the trigger is faster, and a large amount of input is not tiring, so it is more suitable for office use.

Taking into account the thinness and the feel of the traditional mechanical switch body, the short switch is becoming more and more recognized by the public and has become an upstart in the office.

K5 Pro is a dual-mode keyboard that supports Bluetooth wireless and wired connections. Among them, Bluetooth 5.1 can adapt to 3 devices at the same time, and use the Fn key to quickly switch.

For example, we need to use MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and Surface at the same time. K5 Pro can switch between three devices and three systems (macOS, padOS, Windows) at will, and use it directly, which is very convenient.

In addition, it also supports RGB lighting effects, with 22 modes. Whether it is used or not, we must have it.

108-key full-size; Jiadalong short shaft is lighter and thinner; wireless and wired dual-mode; Bluetooth one-to-three free switching connection; Apple and Microsoft multi-system adaptive; even QMK/VIA open source modification is provided. Keychron K5 Pro can meet almost all office input needs, coupled with high-quality workmanship, it is worth recommending.
