Keychron K10 V2 vs K11 ProFull-Size vs Alice

The Keychron K10 V2 has a significantly larger 4000mAh battery, while the K11 Pro has a 2000mAh battery. This gives the K10 V2 potentially longer battery life between charges, though actual runtime depends on usage and lighting settings.

Yes, both are available in hot-swappable versions. The K10 V2 supports almost all 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches including Cherry, Gateron, and Kailh. The K11 Pro only supports Gateron low-profile mechanical switches because QMK firmware does not support low-profile optical switches.

Both keyboards include keycaps for both macOS and Windows and are fully compatible with Mac. The vendor descriptions state both offer a Mac layout with same multimedia and function keys as Apple keyboards, so neither has a clear advantage for Mac users.

Yes, both keyboards support VIA for key remapping and macro customization. They also support the Keychron Launcher web app. The K10 V2 uses an ARM MCU with 256KB Flash, while the K11 Pro uses a chip with 128K Flash, according to the vendor descriptions.

The K11 Pro is far more portable at only 510g and 346mm wide, compared to the K10 V2 at 1160g and 440mm wide. The K11 Pro's low-profile design also makes it easier to slide into a bag.

No, the K11 Pro is designed for low-profile Gateron mechanical switches only. It cannot accept standard MX switches due to the different stem height and PCB mounting. The vendor explicitly states it is only compatible with Gateron low-profile switches.

Yes, the K10 V2 includes multiple foam layers: PET foam, IXPE acoustic foam, and EPDM foam for better sound dampening. The vendor notes that the non-hot-swappable version does not include these foams, so check the variant before buying.

The Alice layout is a split, ergonomic design where the keys are angled to follow the natural curve of your hands. The K11 Pro combines this with a 65% layout, meaning it has 68 keys, no number pad or function row, and a compact footprint.

Only the Keychron K11 Pro includes a programmable rotary encoder knob. The vendor describes this aluminum knob as designed to enhance creative workflows. The K10 V2 does not have a knob, but it has dedicated multimedia keys.

Yes, both keyboards support Bluetooth and wired connections. The K10 V2 uses Bluetooth 5.2, while the K11 Pro uses Bluetooth 5.1. Both can connect to up to 3 devices wirelessly and also have a USB-C wired mode.

The K10 V2 is generally better for gaming due to its full-size layout with dedicated function row and number pad, and a higher performance score. Both have 1000 Hz polling rate in wired mode, but the K11 Pro drops to 90 Hz in wireless mode, while the K10 V2 maintains 1000 Hz.

The K10 V2 comes with Cherry profile double-shot PBT keycaps. The K11 Pro comes with low-profile double-shot PBT keycaps. Both are made by Keychron and designed for oil resistance. The K10 V2 keycaps are standard height, while the K11 Pro keycaps are low-profile.
