“I have been using the keychron K2 V2 for more than a year so when this came out, I knew I had to get this. and boy I never imagined the smoothness and thock on this thing. I replaced the brown switches with lavender purples and it feels even better.”

“Great keyboard but K2 is too small for my clumsy hands... not their fault. A larger one may have worked better for me. Otherwise I like everything about it.”
