What will you mostly use it for?
The OK M has the edge for wireless flexibility, with 2.4 GHz as an additional option, while both keyboards share a 1000 Hz polling rate. The K2 Pro is a stronger fit for buyers who need regional ISO layouts or want QMK alongside VIA. For travel, the OK M's dongle storage and listed carry-along connection accessories are practical distinctions, though neither product's dimensions alone establish how easy it is to carry. The OK M's knob and dampening layers make it a considered choice for volume control and a more explicitly detailed sound-dampening setup.
Pick the Ducky OK M
- Both list a 1000 Hz polling rate, so that specification does not separate them.
- The Ducky OK M supports 2.4 GHz wireless as well as Bluetooth and wired USB-C; the K2 Pro lists Bluetooth and wired connectivity.

Ducky OK M vs Keychron K2 Pro: your questions
Yes. The Ducky OK M supports 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and wired USB-C connectivity. Its vendor description also lists a storage slot for the 2.4 GHz dongle.
The K2 Pro connectivity listing specifies Bluetooth and wired USB-C, not 2.4 GHz. Its vendor description says Bluetooth can connect to up to three devices.
The Keychron K2 Pro is available in ISO and several regional ISO layouts, including UK, German, French, and Spanish options. The Ducky OK M is listed as ANSI only.
Yes, both are listed as hot-swappable. The OK M vendor description specifies support for 3-pin and 5-pin switches, and the K2 Pro vendor description specifies 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches.
The OK M has north-facing LEDs, and its compatibility rule warns that Cherry-profile keycaps can hit the switch housing. Check keycap and switch clearance before choosing that profile.

Yes, the Ducky OK M has a programmable volume knob. The Keychron K2 Pro's listed features include multimedia keys, but do not specify a knob.
The Keychron K2 Pro vendor description specifies Bluetooth connections to up to three devices. The Ducky OK M offers Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz, and wired connections, but its description does not specify a Bluetooth device count.
The Ducky OK M is listed with a gasket mount and polycarbonate plate. Its vendor description names poron foam, an IXPE switch pad, a PET pad, and silicone pads among its sound-dampening layers.
The K2 Pro metadata lists aluminum, plastic, and ABS case materials, along with a steel plate. The vendor description identifies an ABS and aluminum frame build.
Both keyboards list Mac and Windows support. The Ducky OK M vendor description also mentions a switch for changing between Mac and Windows mode, while Keychron describes included keycaps for both operating systems.
