KeychronK2 75% Layout Bluetooth Wireless Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for Mac, Multitasking Type-C Wired 84 Keys Computer Keyboard for Windows with Keychron Mechanical Blue Switch Aluminum Frame

This keyboard is a great option for somebody looking for an affordable wireless mechanical keyboard. The aluminum frame feels excellent, and I haven't had any issues with pairing or bluetooth connectivity. It comes configured for MacOS, but includes a key puller and key caps to convert the cmd and option keys to the windows and alt keys. It also comes with a very nice right angle USB-C cable for charging or using the keyboard corded. When I unboxed my keyboard, there were a few key caps loose, but that's not abnormal for mechanical keyboards. The key caps simply push back on.The layout is very compact, with the del, pgup, pgdn, home, and end keys being in a column on the very right, but the keys are used infrequently enough that it's probably not significant for most users (and I actually find having the end key placement more convenient). The arrow keys are situated in the bottom right and the up arrow shares space with where the shift key would normally be - meaning the right shift key is a non standard size. I was concerned about this initially, but found that I never had any trouble using that shift key. My pinky always landed on the left side of the key normally.The function buttons work correctly as well - While holding the fn key: F1 and F2 are computer brightness down and up; F3 is expose view on mac and task view on windows; F4 is app view on mac and simply opens windows explorer on windows oddly; then F7 F8 and F9 are reverse, play/pause, and fast forward; and finally F10 F11 and F12 are mute, volume down, and volume up.The other versions of the K2 keyboard are backlit, but I opted for this one because of the color scheme, slightly better battery life (due to no backlighting), and for the price. You can get this keyboard for slightly cheaper with a plastic frame, but the aluminum frame feels very premium and gives the keyboard a little bit of weight that feels very good.

It's really a great mechanical keyboard for the price. It's a good, comfortable, and works on a Mac. Yes it's basic, no it doesn't light up, or let you hotswap it. It just gets the job done and the bluetooth doesn't cut out.

The leys on this are the perfect amount of clickiness. Super nice to type on. It can be a little bit “pingy” though.

The media could not be loaded. I initially reviewed the Keychron K2 before diving into the custom keyboard world. Some of my opinions have changed since learning more about switches and keyboard tuning. Here is my updated review.I bought the Keychron K2 to have a bluetooth mechanical keyboard to use with multiple devices. I opted for clicky blue switches as I had never tried them before. I use this keyboard in my home office where sound level doesn’t matter. Be aware that it is very loud and will probably not be suitable for the workplace, library, or other shared area.My main complaint about this keyboard is Keychron’s blue switches. These blue switches are basically the same as a Gateron blue. They use a sort of spring-loaded plastic jacket that snaps downward on the keypress to generate the click sound. Compared to other options (Gateron Melodic, Kailh Box Glazed Green, etc.), Keychron/Gateron blue switches have a very sloppy sound. The overall sound of this keyboard suffers due to the choice of low-end blue switches. Furthermore, this keyboard is not hot-swappable, so you can’t install nicer switches to solve this problem.My other concern is that the stabilizers need some lubrication and tuning. This might be expected on an entry-level keyboard. The spacebar especially is very harsh.Those criticisms aside, the Keychron K2 has some great features that I truly love. I really like the aluminum frame. It is sturdy and always slightly cold to the touch, which feels more premium than a plastic case. I'm a fan of the colorway too. Overall, it has a clean appearance without any gaudy, gamer-esque design elements. And if the red escape key isn't your thing, it comes with a gray one that you can swap.The Bluetooth connectivity has worked perfectly so far. I have it paired with three different devices and it switches seamlessly between them by pressing fn+1, 2, or 3. I have it switched to Windows compatibility mode and it works on my PC, iPhone, and Raspberry Pi.Consider that this keyboard is pretty tall. I use it with a wrist rest to get my wrists into a more neutral position.The Keychron K2 offers some nice features along with the popular Keychron brand name. I’m quite sure I would have been happier long-term with red or brown switches in this particular model. A clicky version is still viable, but I would recommend that they spec it with nicer switches, such as a Gateron Melodic. As this spec falls short on the switch front, it feels impossible to recommend at the current price ($80) and still difficult to recommend even if it was 50% off. There are really nice entry-level hot-swappable mechanical keyboards out there for $50-70 that I would recommend before this keyboard to anyone except dedicated Keychron fans.

Took like a week to get used to the non standard layout, but after that I've really enjoyed typing on this. It's not aggressively loud but is very satisfying.

Seems like it would be easier and cheaper to have a hotswap keyboard. the switches in the K2 are soldered on. Not a huge deal, but would like the option to change switches without major surgery to the keyboard. Otherwise, it works well and the sound is pretty good. I work in a cube farm, so i added orings to quiet it down a bit.

I love this keyboard! For one on the lower end of mechanical keyboard pricing, I am very pleasantly surprised by the build quality. the height is perfect for my hands/wrists, and it is very comfortable to type on

For whatever reason, the keyboard I received is NOT NKRO, as advertised, I've tried both wired and wireless. The Build quality is not great, the aluminum sides do not line up properly. Very disappointing.

Muy bueno, no tiene luces ni switches intercambiables, pero por el precio estás recibiendo la calidad de Keychron.

Keys have good travel but are light and flimsy; the spacebar is especially wobbly and underwhelming. The overall typing experience for me wasn't great. I enjoy distinct auditory feedback while typing, but because of how flimsy these keys are, typing on this keyboard produces an indistinct barrage of rattling noises which, to me, isn't satisfying at all. I feel like the design principle here was "customers like noisy keyboards, let's make the keyboard as noisy as possible" but it fails to emulate the right kind of functional noise that, to me, would enhance the typing experience.

es toda una experiencia el usar este teclado para mi día a día. lo recomiendo ampliamente.
