What will you mostly use it for?
The V5 is the more complete choice for everyday desk typing, programming, and gaming because it includes a full keyboard layout. Its QMK and VIA support also give it an edge for buyers who want firmware-level customization. The SK30 stands out for travel when a wireless numpad is the intended tool, not a replacement keyboard. For content creation, the choice depends on whether a full layout or a screen-equipped numpad fits the workflow.
Pick the Keychron V5
- The Keychron V5 is a full 96% keyboard, while the SK30 is a numpad and cannot serve as a standalone full keyboard.
- Both list a 1000 Hz polling rate, and the V5 has N-key rollover.
