Our take, based on research

A wireless Hall-effect full-size on maker specs. Evidence for this exact model is Keychron's page; the only review found covers the wired J2 HE 8K sibling, so how this board feels is not independently documented.

Overview

The J5 HE is a full-size Hall-effect board. Keychron's page lists hot-swap Keychron Ultra-fast Lime magnetic switches (the only switches it accepts), Cherry-profile double-shot PBT keycaps, 2.4GHz, Bluetooth and USB-C, 1000Hz polling wired and over 2.4GHz and 125Hz on Bluetooth, a 0.01 mm sensitivity figure, a dynamic keystroke feature, north-facing RGB, plate-mounted stabilizers, a plastic body, three feet angles (4, 6 and 8.5 degrees) and a 4000 mAh battery. The weight figure on Keychron's page is mislabeled, so none is quoted here. No independent review turned up. The Romanian review of the wired J2 HE 8K, a sibling, found Lime switches smooth with a plastic but solid case; that is not a review of this board.
