Frequently Bought Together (Add-on)

Great switches - sucks that Keychron discontinued most of them while still selling the keyboard

Managed to get some banana switches after my partner got me a K5SE. I was hoping to buy another pack to fill out the rest of the keyboard, or maybe some mints to compare, but just a few weeks later Keychron discontinued all but the reds. Absolutely sucks when they continue to sell the keyboard itself. Definitely won't be buying Keychron again.

Banana Switches FTW

I read the other reviews on the Banana switches and took a chance, I do not regret it one bit. I've used my keyboard more now that I've switched them from red to yellow.. I was getting accidental activation on the red switches which was frustrating, changing them to the banana switches solved my issue.

Banana is the best

These optical switches are amazing. I've tried blue, red, brown, but nothing beats the Banana switches. No more accidental key presses. They are firm at the top, but soft from there. Also, not quite, but not too noisy. The best Keychron switches I am aware of.

Banana is perfect

I first ordered red switches with my keyboard having never tried linear switches before and I found myself accidentally providing enough pressure to press the keys. Banana however are perfect. I can position my fingers on the keys with natural pressure and not activate the switch until I definitely want to and then it's instant. Perfect action and couldn't be happier. Even better than my old high profile Gateron browns which I swore by previously.
