Switches are wonderful, great typing experience
Connor J. · 2026-03-08 · Verified purchase
The Keychron Milk POM switches on this K5 QMK V2 are truly excellent. They provide a smooth, consistent keystroke that makes typing a pleasure for hours on end, far better than my previous membrane keyboard. The hot-swappable design is brilliant, allowing me to try out different switch types in the future if I ever feel the need. Also, setting it up with my Linux machine was incredibly straightforward, which isn't always the case with wireless mechanical keyboards.

Good features, but wireless disconnects
Paige T. · 2026-03-09 · Verified purchase
The overall typing experience with the Milk POM switches is great and I love the low-profile design. However, the Bluetooth connection drops out sometimes, which can be frustrating during focused work. It's not constant, but enough to be a minor nuisance that I hope future firmware updates can address.
★★★★★
