Keychron K2 Pro 75% Wireless Keyboard, Hot-Swap Red Switch, RGB Backlit

Out of the box there was this unusual smell, not bad but not great. I figured it was something from the manufacturing process, however a little googling later and it seems they perfume the silicon pad. It took maybe a few days to a week for it to fade(YMMV), however if you put it up to your nose you can still smell the floral scent today(maybe a month or so later). I wanted to try the pre-lubed switches, so I went with the reds as few "tactile" switches are actually legitimately tactile(if their browns are anything like cherry, it might as well not be tactile). They are quite smooth and the thock is nice, but as expected reds are too light for me. I purchased this for the size being mildly portable and bluetooth, though it's still a sizeable keyboard as far as thickness(height from base to tops of key caps) goes. It works great with my steamdeck, and PC when I'm lazy sitting back away from my desk. I've barely eaten anything out of the battery it would seem, though I've left the lighting off and it isn't my main keyboard, however it seems it would last quite a while without charging. The QMK/VIA support is nice, however currently tapdance doesn't work and to get it working you have to get involved enough to edit the json file if I'm not mistaken. The workaround seemed fairly complicated as someone who although is fairly technical, hasn't delved into QMK beyond using web based interfaces to set keys/layers. Overall it's worth it, and there's not much else out there that ticks the boxes I wanted, especially the bluetooth with hot swap sockets.

Decent build quality at the price point, hard to beat. Sounds nice. Only complaint is the keyboard arrived without the cable or key cap puller it advertised. I believe it missing a few other things also( I only got the keyboard and a mini screwdriver in the package). Really nice thock.

Recently got a couple of new PCs recently, and spent a lot of time finding just the right gaming mouse & keyboard. That lead to me wanting to 'upgrade' my existing work Apple Magic Keyboard to something with longer key throw and better tactile feel. After weeks of watching YT reviews and dithering, I settled on the Keychron K2 Pro in the black/grey/red color scheme with Gateron red switches. And I have to say that I really like this keyboard. 75% keyboards are as small as I ever want to go, I've learned. I know this because I tried using a 60% wireless keyboard on a machine for a while, and it works but I've discovered I really miss the arrow keys. And a 65% keyboard would fix that but would still be lacking the function keys frequently used on a Mac for controlling things like audio volume - something I need for online video calls. The Gateron reds feel spectacular too. Now having tried Cherry MX Speed Silvers and Reds, Outemu blues and browns, reds are my favorite keyswitches, especially for a work keyboard. For gaming I'm still very happy with the Corsair R70 RGB Pro & Razer Huntsman V2 optical switch keyboards I'm using. But the Keychron sounds and feels better than any other keyboard I have. And this style of keycaps remind me of the ones found on some computers I used WAY back in the day. Love it. I'd read that the aluminum frame Keychron K2 Pro was the way to go, but I went with the plastic RGB version because it ended up being $20 less including a coupon, and was available next day. No regrets as it feels solid and I think it sounds great.

It's a nice keyboard that feels great and sounds even better. Unfortunately, when it arrived, the letter "B" on the keyboard was not functioning no matter what I did to try and fix it. I had to return this keyboard for a refund since it was non-functional, however, I was able to contact Keychron support on their website and they offered to send me a replacement PCB board to fix it myself. The board didn't arrive in time for when I needed the keyboard, so that's what prompted me to return it instead.

This is my first mechanical keyboard; I purchased it to see what all the hype was about. The Bluetooth connects quickly and easily, and the audible clicking of the keys is a nice change to typical modern keyboards. This keyboard is heavy and solid, and has many different keyboard light patterns you can select. I have no idea if I’ll delve further into mechanical keyboards, but I’m enjoying this one for the time being.

I use this almost every day from about 5-8 feet of my PC and it works great, no perceptible input lag. The battery lasts forever, the keycaps have a delightful texture and the keys have a great feel. The aesthetic is obviously just what I wanted. But I do have some notes to be aware of: - As others have said, this thing is quite thick. I needed to get a wrist rest for the thing, whereas I didn't need one before. - I cannot figure out why it happens, but sometimes the keyboard just resets itself; about once a month. The bluetooth stays configured just fine, but the key layout and lighting are all lost. This is annoying, since I have to go plug it in and reconfigure it from the floor when it happens. Luckily, the software supports saving and restoring your keyboard layout from a file - which I highly recommend you do. The lighting setting will need to be manually recreate each time. - The lettering on the keycaps is a double-shot opaque white. No reading the keys in the dark! - This one isn't a con, but actually a pro! If you never use one of the supported platforms, you can actually copy your base layer to the very bottom and you'll be able to use the platform you don't support as additional macro layers.

This thing is soooo nice. Has great sound and is super quick to type on. Lowkey like it better than my custom mechanical keyboard I built from scratch. Definitely recommend picking one up if you’re in the market for a budget mechanical keyboard

Worth the money! I would highly recommend it.
