The Banana and Mint switches comes with an early tactile bump of every downstroke like those Panda switches, that’s the main difference between the Banana/Mint and the Brown switch. More add-on switches here.

 SLIM YET DURABLE

The aircraft-grade reinforced aluminum frame as a pillar to make the K5 SE durable yet elegantly slim. A SGCC galvanized steel plate is added to the plastic bottom frame in order to strengthen the K5 SE's body structure, while still maintaining a stable wireless transmission capability of the K5 SE.

Great keyboard to use, happy with the battery life and Bluetooth connections for multiple devices. Keypress feel is down to your individual preference for what switch you choose, and I like the optical blues i got. Nice and responsive.

The optical switches aren't as easy to remove and swap as the videos show, they can be accidentally disassembled while pulling them out of the board if you aren't careful but they're fairly easy to put back together also and still work, but pulling them out isnt too difficult once you get the hang of it overall.

Fast delivery, great packing. Excellent, high-quality keyboard products.

Good on all counts, great on none. Normal-height mechanical keyboards at this same prices point are more solid, however, this replaced a Logitech MX Mechanical and it's much better than that one, at almost half the price. So it's good and a good deal compared to that.

No regret but will try for a full mechanical next time.

Beautiful Keyboard,but...

the keys are just slightly smaller than the G815 I'm coming from and my keyboard muscle memory is all screwed up. I can't hit the right key. So I gifted it to my son.

An excellent keyboard, just what I needed. I especially like that it is Mac compatible.
