Mind you, it&#8217;s a fair bit heavier, coming in at 95 g compared to the Series 2 Pro&#8217;s 55 g weight. Still, it&#8217;s pretty light for an ergo-peripheral.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to my dear colleague Nick Evanson, it seems it&#8217;s not so much the weight of a vertical mouse that&#8217;s the issue for gaming, more the placement of it. Our Nick is an ergonomic peripheral fan, but he&#8217;s ditched his vertical mouse in favour of a conventionally-oriented <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-mice\/razer-viper-v3-pro-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">Razer Viper V3 Pro<\/a>, as the former was too easy to knock over.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping Keychron has thought of the weight distribution and kept it firmly on the bottom. Speaking of bottoms, the M5 looks to have a substantial lower half, so perhaps it&#8217;ll avoid falling over at a crucial moment better than most.<\/p>\n<p>It supports 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.3, and of course, USB wired connections, and comes with Huano 80M microswitches for what Keychron describes as &#8220;clean clicks feeling.&#8221; Nice.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"66mK3Ajhjtz5XRBkfPa4tm\" name=\"keychronmouseergo\" alt=\"Two Keychron M5 gaming mice, both in white, at diagonal angles from each other showing both side of the mouse design\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/keychrons-m5-wireless-ergonomic-mouse-has-an-8k-polling-rate-for-ultimate-control-in-gaming-scenarios-making-it-a-gaming-mouse-with-a-err-twist.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Keychron)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Keychron says it delivers 140-hour battery life, and comes with five programmable buttons and two scroll wheels, one between the main clickers and a horizontal one on the other side where your thumb would naturally rest.
