The low battery indicator could be made more visible, like flashing the keyboard with a red hue to let you know that battery is running low. Keychron also sells a well-built palm rest to pair with the K2. The keyboard is really thick, making it feel tall and almost impossible to use without a wrist rest when angled. The backlight itself is a bit dim and is barely noticeable in a well lit environment, something to take into consideration if you are thinking about getting the RGB version. Keychron ships the K2 with specific keycaps for both Windows & Mac, a USB Type C cable for charging and using it wired.īattery lasts a long time with the 4000mAh integrated battery, but your mileage might vary depending on how you have the backlight setup Picture courtesy of Andres Vidoza Downsides of the K2 Moreover, it can switch quickly between up to 3 devices as it has Bluetooth 5.1. The K2 is very comfortable to type on, the switches feel amazing in the Red variant. I can happily say that the Caps Lock does have a light to let you know when its activated, something that my own keyboard is lacking and is a daily frustration. The color is a combination of dark and light grey with just a hint of glow on the ESC key on the top left in a bright orange. If you notice some fatigue, you can also get a wrist rest separately.All the keycaps have a clean and simple design, making it feel unobtrusive and blends the keyboard perfectly with any workspace. The keys are light to press, and despite having a high profile, it shouldn't be too tiring typing on them for long periods. The ABS keycaps feel slippery, but you can get an extra set of PBT keycaps. The function row is the same height as the number row instead of being slightly taller like on most keyboards, so it may feel different for some, but it shouldn't be too much of an issue. The right Shift key is smaller than the left Shift, so that may cause an increase in typos when you first use it. The compact 75% size may take some time to get used to, especially if you use non-alphanumeric keys, such as Page Up and Page Down, which are positioned differently than on standard full-sized keyboards. The keys are stable, but the spacebar wobbles just a bit. They offer good tactile feedback, and it's also available with Gateron Red and Blue switches, so you can get the ones you prefer. The Gateron Brown switches on our unit provide a great typing experience.

You can get a wrist rest and a set of PBT keycaps directly from their website, so your experience may vary with these extra parts. Keychron sells extra accessories for the K2 V2 mechanical keyboard. It's the updated version of the Keychron K2 V1, which doesn't have an incline frame or a Caps Lock indicator light. The differences between the versions are listed below, and the build quality, typing experience, and typing noise may change depending on which model and switch type you get. It's available in a few different variants, including a hot-swappable version that allows you to quickly change the switches without soldering. We tested the Keychron K2 V2 with an aluminum frame, RGB backlighting, and Gateron Brown switches.
