Keychron C2 Pro Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Full Size Layout QMK VIA Programmable Macro White Backlit with Tactile

Great build quality, good key feel. Very programmable, cool lighting effects (white light only, but it looks good) and while I ordered this one for my gaming PC, I am seriously thinking about getting another one for my Mac! It comes with keycaps for both types of OS, and a sturdy tool to remove the keycaps. If anyone is interested, these keys are compatible with the Cherry MX standard, so you can easily swap all the keys out. Read more

Background: I needed a cheap and quality (oxymoron!) mechanical keyboard for KVM of my 2 laptops. Already had a Corsair K70 for the last 3 years for my workstation. I didn't need all the colors and display disco for almost 3 times the price of this one while keeping the price around $60. I had heard about the Keychron's quality, so decided to spend my money on this. Also, I do not write reviews till at least 2 to 3 months of usage. However, the product is so good that I decided to break that rule. Pros: 1. Great packaging and presentation. Very simple layout of all the items in the box. 2. Easy setup with very clear instructions. 3. I prefer Red keys - these keys have very smooth operations as well as good solid clicks. Furthermore, the spacing of the keys is just right for my hands. My Corsair often misses the keys and slows me down, even after 3 years of practice with it. 4. Compact size with decent heft. 5. Nice cool white colored keys that match the background light of the 2 Dell laptops. The light doesn't feel overbearing at night. Cons: Basically nit-picks 1. The plastic body. Not a con, for the price. But the metal ones do look and feel nice. Cheap beggars (me) can't be choosers. 2. Need dedicated buttons for sound control. Not current FN + sound control setup. 3. Unless I am mistaken, I do not see any buttons for Print Screen and Scroll Lock. Also, Scroll Lock does not have a light to show if it's on. Bottomline: For around $50 this is actually a very good keyboard. If it lasts even for 3 years, I will be very happy. This product deserves 4.8/5.0. Read more

Great for work. PBT keycaps sound great. LEDs are nice and bright. I took it apart and packed it full of foam and that also did help a lot. To take it apart, there are some screws under the keycaps, and also you have to slide a slim tool around the bottom edge. It's a little tough but you have to unsnap all the tabs. It took me a while to get the case off, but after that it's easy to modify the keyboard and put it back together. Anyway I got mine used and it was still in perfect condition Read more

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Wanted something mechanical, but quieter that others. Full marks for that, but my "T" key occasionally double types, and one of my windows keys came with a scuff mark Read more

Keyboard is faster than me. Huge upgrade from my old $15 Dell. If you want to play games, this is a must have. Read more

I had a "clicky" mechanical keyboard in my home office, which I loved. However, no one else in the household appreciated the clickety-clack. I hate soft-switch keyboards, so that wasn't an option. This Keychron splits the difference, offering enough tactile feedback to satisfy my preferences, but it's significantly quieter than my previous keyboard, thus preserving my marriage. It feels well built and has held up well to daily work-from-home for more than six months so far. It came with a USB adapter. I would definitely consider another Keychron when I'm ready for my next keyboard. Read more

It was a great keyboard. Nice sound, nice feel, worked smoothly. Then, out of nowhere, there was lag when typing. It started with the letter C and then it progressed until the keyboard became unusable. Double spaces, missing letters, double letters. I tried updating firmware, resetting the keyboard, different USB ports, different computers, even different OS and there was still this lag that became worse and worse over time. I can't find any other solutions to get this fixed, so I guess I'm back to my old $20 Logi that has been working for years. Read more

Had a problem with some of the keys sticking or not even working half of the time. Vendor sent a replacement after some testing, great support! Great keyboard. Read more
