Keychron USA K2v2 Bluetooth RGB Backlit Tactile Mac/PC Keyboard

Product Information

Also, if you are looking for keycap sets to customize your K2 with, you'll want to pay attention to the size of certain keys, like the right shift. That's because due to the layout size, some keys are smaller than standard sizes in sets. You may need to mix and match keycaps if you are striving for a complete theme. Let’s get into the review of what makes the Keychron K2 V2 so much better than the first model. The Verdict ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The PBT version has different colored keys- a green/brown and dark grey color scheme as opposed to the two-tone grey keycaps on the keyboard I have.

Extra keycaps: Additional keycaps are helpfully included to modify the keyboard for Windows or Mac use. The Gateron switches available are: red, blue, and brown. See below to for a short summary of each switches’ characteristics.

Wireless, compact, mechanical, and cheap; the Keychron K2 offers the lot.

The default gray ABS keycaps that it comes with (unless you get the PBT keycap version) are slightly curved, giving it a nice, tactile feel as you type. But keep in mind that ABS keycaps, in general, can wear down and get shiny over time — thankfully, you can easily replace the K2's keycaps with ease, and Keychron includes a wire keycap puller in the box (to replace the Mac keys with Windows if needed). Since the Keychron K2 uses Gateron switches, a clone of the Cherry MX, any keycap that fits a Cherry stem should work with the K2's Gaterons. Personally, I prefer to use the Keychron K2 in cabled mode at my desk whenever possible. The Bluetooth connection is stable, though, and the toggle on the side lets you seamlessly switch between cabled and wireless modes on the fly. But since I use it plugged in, the battery is always charged and ready to go when I decide to use it via Bluetooth. If you do need to use the K2 with a Windows or Android machine, Keychron includes Windows-specific caps in the box. Just make sure to remember to switch the side toggle to Windows/Android mode. Let’s talk about the USB port… the port is located in a little recessed area on the left side of the keyboard. Of course, the RGB lighting isn't too noticeable during the day, but it really shines at night. The default keycaps are also shine-through, so the RGB will light up the legends on the keys, making it easy to type in a dark room.

Although I typically prefer PBT keycaps, the ABS keycaps on the Keychron K2 V2 have a smooth feel. I haven’t noticed them getting shiny from use yet (one of the main complaints of ABS keycaps).
