What will you mostly use it for?
The C2 Pro has the clearer advantage for gaming, office use, programming, modding, and content-creation workflows, largely through its polling specification, layout choices, and configuration support. The K556 SE is a more focused option if an aluminum case and linear switches are the priorities. Neither is a wireless travel board, and both use a full-size layout. The C2 Pro is lighter, but the wired connection remains a shared constraint for travel.
Pick the Keychron C2 Pro
- The C2 Pro lists 8000 Hz polling, with vendor-described adjustment from 125 Hz to 8000 Hz.
- The K556 SE has linear Dragon Chant switches and onboard RGB modes, but no polling-rate figure is listed for it.
