[Foreword] There are many brands of mechanical keyboards. When it comes to product recognition and popularity, Keychron definitely has a place in the keyboard circle. After all, its products are popular at home and abroad, and they are on the desktops of many well-known technology and digital giants. You can see a Keychron keyboard. The PO owner recently bought a Keychron keyboard—K2Pro dual-mode mechanical keyboard. Let me share with you the actual experience~~

Keychron is a high-end peripheral product enterprise focusing on production, design and sales. It not only includes customized Q series, K-Pro series, K series, V series and other types of mechanical keyboards, but also There are a series of peripheral accessories such as self-developed keycaps, switches, hand rests, and mice. Currently, its peripherals are sold in major mainstream e-commerce companies such as Tmall, JD.com, Pinduoduo and overseas websites, and many of them are Online celebrity hits on sale.

The product is packaged with a plastic film. Since the air column is wrapped in the delivery, it is still an octagonal point when it is delivered. The packaging fonts and icons are all laser-crafted.

The inner layer of the package is protected by thick pearl cotton. In addition to the main body of the keyboard, there are also accessories such as charging cables, manuals, shaft pullers, and key pullers. It is also very convenient to change the keys and shafts if you want to change the keys later with the supporting tools.

The K2 Pro mechanical keyboard has three types of switches to choose from, namely red switches, brown switches and green switches. The one that PO owners started with is the green switch. The 84-key design removes the small keyboard area, which basically does not affect daily office and game use.

The keyboard adopts a slanted design, and on the basis of an ergonomic angle, three adjustable angle tripods are added to meet the typing needs of different users.

The two-stage tripod design that flips back and forth is not easy to shift, and the thickened silicone feet at the four corners are very stable when in use.

This keyboard shell is designed with a plastic frame, and the keycap is made of OSA PBT two-color injection keycap (content ≥ 40%), with a light matte texture, better wear resistance, and it is not easy to oil after a long time, haze blue, midnight The keycap color matching of blue and Persian red is also very attractive.

The K2Pro mechanical keyboard is a dual-mode keyboard. In addition to supporting Bluetooth wireless connection, it also supports type-c interface wired connection. The switch and interface are set on the left side of the keyboard. In addition to the dual-mode switch, there is also a WIN/IOS mode switch key.

The measured K2Pro keyboard weighs about 923g.

Since the K2Pro mechanical keyboard adopts 75% configuration, the keyboard layout is compact, and the length of the keyboard is actually only a little wider than that of the MacBook air. The type-c interface on the same side as the MacBook is very convenient whether it is a wired connection or a Bluetooth connection.

Relatively speaking, in order to reduce desktop wires, individuals prefer to use Bluetooth or 2.4G to connect devices.

The keyboard supports full-key hot-swappable, and the keycap and shaft body can be easily replaced with the included tools, and supports 3-pin and 5-pin shaft bodies at the same time.

It is also mentioned above that the PO master is the green switch. The biggest feature of the green switch is that it has a strong sense of paragraph when typing, and the sound is crisp. As long as it is not used in the office or in the dead of night, it is really cool to use the green switch~~

The big key adopts PCB satellite shaft, there is no obvious cavity sound and steel wire sound when in use, and all the shaft bodies are factory-lubricated.

In addition to portable and desktop computers, the K2Pro mechanical keyboard also supports the connection of Android phones, iPhones, ipads and other devices, and can adapt to up to 3 devices at the same time. You can switch devices through Fn+1/Fn+2/Fn+3, and the keyboard also supports Full key no red and 6 key no red.

Compatible with MacOS/IOS, it is also very convenient to connect to MacBook and ipad for typing.

The keyboard is designed with a lower light position, with up to 22 built-in RGB lighting effects, and an exclusive lighting effect key to quickly switch the light with one key.

The best thing is that the K2Pro mechanical keyboard fully supports QMK and VIA. Users who like to DIY can program each key to realize all customizations such as keyboard layout, shortcut keys, and backlight effects.

The keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, which can be used for up to 80 hours without the light on, and takes about 6 hours to charge. It supports charging and using at the same time, without affecting daily use.

Although it is the first time for the PO owner to use the keyboard of the green switch, it is still a very good experience to listen to the crisp keyboard sound of the green switch when playing games alone at home. With the built-in RGB light effect, the e-sports atmosphere is very good. ~~
