It could be a good keybord, but it ain't.

If you are looking for a keyboard that you can work with late at night...
It is better to just get a white one which will be nicely visible in the
IPS monitor's light.

If you will go with K5, prepare to learn that:
- Bluetooth is actually terrible.
This keyboard could be good if it had its own receiver.

- Most eye-catching are the switches underneath the key caps.
'+' and 'enter' switches on the num pad are even turned 90° just to make
sure that this is what will shine in your eyes instead of the key symbols.
It can be fixed by painting the sides of the switches black.

- The brightest thing when wired is the battery indicator.
It would be nice if there was a way to turn it off, but there isn't.

- Key blocks are too close together, most noticeable right arrow and 0 from
numpad. You can buy beveled keycaps that solve this problem, but they are
not compatible with back-lighting, and paying another $30 for something that
should be the standard just doesn't seem right.

- Light bulb key cannot be remapped to anything else, similarly the mic key next
to it, from the three only Print Screen can be actually utilized by your system.

- If you would like to find keycaps that have the proper F keys instead of the
silly icons... you won't.

- Original keycaps are poorly visible without back-lighting even during the day.

Good things about this keyboard are:
- it is actually pretty quiet (i used the silicon rings though)
- the frame is nice
- the switches are good
But it is hard to enjoy any of it when the keyboard disconnects from Bluetooth
(turning the sleep mode off won't help you one bit).

It's great.

I decided to buy brown. I'm very satisfied that I pressed it. Premium material quality I really like it, especially LowProfile. It makes my use and layout simple.

Why didn't I get one sooner?!

I didn't realize how much I hated typing on my old membrane keyboard until I started using my new K5. What a magnificent difference! I got the Gateron red switches and it's such a pleasure to use. The feel of the textured concave keys are amazing, and it's barely louder than my old membrane keyboard. And I love the minimalistic design of the K5; the beautiful clean lines and space saving low profile size are just wonderful. Cool lighting effects too.

Almost perfect

I got the K5 with brown optical. So far love the low profile and feel. Also great having the USB connection in the back instead of the side like the K10. The only problem is lack of adjustable incline, otherwise would have been perfect. I found and added 1/2" pads underneath to make it work for me.

I finally found the right keyboard!

I've been using this keyboard for a few days and I absolutely love it. I had been using the K4 for a few months and never really got used to it - it was too bulky for me and I found it hard to type on. This is just the perfect feel and I love that it's full size. It looks great, too. Being able to switch from PC to Mac with one tap is a huge plus.
