Seamlessly switch between your laptop, phone, and tablet, with full compatibility for both Mac and Windows. For gaming enthusiasts, the USB Type-C wired connection with a 1000 Hz polling rate offers a responsive and competitive edge.
Ultra-Slim Design
Featuring innovative low-profile Gateron switches that are 31% slimmer than standard mechanical switches, the K5 Pro is one of the thinnest wireless mechanical keyboards in the world. Despite its slim profile, it delivers a satisfying tactile response, encased in a durable aluminum body.
Programmable with QMK & VIA
Unlock endless customization possibilities with QMK and VIA support. The K5 Pro is the first wireless mechanical keyboard to offer these capabilities out of the box. Simply connect via a USB cable and use the drag-and-drop interface to remap any key or create custom macros on macOS, Windows, or Linux. The ultra-low-power ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 MCU, equipped with 128K Flash, provides developers with maximum flexibility.
Universal Compatibility
The K5 Pro is designed with a Mac layout but remains fully compatible with Windows. It includes keycaps for both operating systems, allowing you to switch effortlessly between them. The keyboard supports multimedia and function key functions identical to Apple keyboards, making it a top choice for Mac users seeking tactile feedback. VIA software compatibility extends to macOS, Windows, and Linux, offering comprehensive customization options.
An Epic Core Inside
A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz on wired mode right out of the box, which makes the latency hardly noticeable even in competitive games.
Low-Profile Gateron Switches
The K5 Pro is equipped with Gateron low-profile MX 2.0 mechanical switches, known for their reliability and precision. Whether you prefer the smooth feel of linear switches, the audible click of clicky switches, or something in between, Gateron’s switches ensure a consistent and enjoyable typing experience.
Premium PBT Keycaps
Engineered for a superior typing feel, the K5 Pro features double-shot PBT keycaps made from durable, non-backlit shine-through material. These keycaps resist oil buildup and maintain their integrity over time, providing a long-lasting, premium typing experience.
Enhanced Stabilizers
The K5 Pro’s redesigned stabilizers ensure a level and stable feel across all keys, particularly larger ones like the space bar, left Shift, backspace, and Enter key. This design minimizes wobble and enhances overall typing accuracy and comfort.
Ergonomic Design
With three adjustable typing angles, the K5 Pro is designed to provide ergonomic support for your wrists, making long typing sessions more comfortable and reducing the risk of strain.
