The Keychron M5 8K is a wireless vertical mouse built around a 47° tilt that keeps the wrist in a handshake position rather than flat. It pairs a PixArt 3950 sensor with a Huano 80M micro switch main button set, a thumb scroll wheel that doubles as a horizontal scroller, and an adjustable polling rate up to 8000 Hz. It connects over 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.3 with a three-device switch, or USB-C wired. It suits desk workers with wrist strain who still want gaming-grade specs; against mainstream vertical mice like the Logitech Lift or MX Vertical it offers a much higher ceiling on sensor and polling, but fewer ergonomic sizing options and no vertical-specific software ecosystem.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 from 16 ratings. Owners praise the comfortable vertical grip and the smooth, high-polling sensor; the main reservations concern battery life at the highest polling rate and the fixed shape.
The Keychron M5 8K is a wireless vertical mouse with a 47° vertical angle. It has a thumb scroll wheel that also works as a horizontal scroller. The main buttons use Huano 80M Micro switches, and a PixArt 3950 sensor handles tracking.
It connects three ways: wired through a USB-C cable, or wirelessly over Bluetooth 5.3 or a 2.4 GHz receiver. A physical button switches between 3 paired Bluetooth devices. The included cable is an ultra flex paracord cable, and a 600mAh battery powers the mouse.
DPI is adjustable up to 30,000, and the polling rate is adjustable from 125 to 8000Hz. The mouse is programmable with the Keychron Launcher web app.
