Keychron K2 Pro (75%/QMK-VIA/Bluetooth 5.1 + USB-C/Hot-Swappable/South-Facing RGB) Review
Keychron K2 Pro 75% wireless mechanical keyboard with hot-swappable K Pro switches, QMK/VIA support, Bluetooth 5.1 and USB-C wired connectivity, double-shot PBT keycaps.
The K2 Pro is Keychron's long-running 75% layout brought up to modern spec: real QMK/VIA firmware, a hot-swap socket, and the choice of flipping between three paired Bluetooth devices or plugging in over USB-C when the battery runs low. It keeps the compact footprint that made the original K2 popular with people who want arrow keys and a function row without giving up desk space.
Comparison to Alternatives
Against the Keychron Q1 Max, the K2 Pro trades the Q1 Max's gasket-mounted aluminum case and double-gasket sound for a lighter plastic frame and a lower price, making it the easier entry point into QMK/VIA wireless boards. Compared with the Royal Kludge RK84, the K2 Pro's software support is far more mature, though the RK84 undercuts it on price for buyers who don't need custom firmware.
