Compare Weikav Lucky65 V2 vs Alice V2 Differences Side by Side

This comparison helps buyers decide between two 65% aluminum keyboards from Weikav: the Lucky65 V2 and the Record Alice V2. Both are DIY kits with triple connectivity, hot-swap PCBs, and south-facing RGB, but they diverge sharply in layout and typing feel. The Lucky65 V2 uses a gasket mount with five layers of foam and supports both QMK and VIA, while the Alice V2 employs a leaf-spring mount with beryllium-copper shrapnel for a soft bounce and is VIA-only. The decision mostly comes down to whether you want a standard layout or the ergonomic split Alice design.

Pros and Trade-offs

If you need a modder-friendly keyboard with standard layout and QMK firmware, the Lucky65 V2 is the better choice. If your priority is ergonomic comfort and a bouncy, fatigue-reducing typing feel, the Alice V2 shines with its split layout and leaf-spring mount. Both are solid options, but your layout preference will ultimately decide which one stays on your desk.

Weikav Lucky65 V2

  • +Standard 65% layout with dedicated arrow keys and nav cluster, familiar for most users
  • +Supports both QMK and VIA firmware, allowing deep customization of keymaps, layers, and macros
  • +Tool-free ball-catch structure enables quick disassembly without screwdrivers for easy modding
  • +Comes with five layers of foam and a 1.2mm FR4 plate with flex cuts; an optional PC plate is available
  • −Standard layout offers no ergonomic wrist positioning benefit compared to the Alice layout of the Alice V2
  • −Smaller battery at 3750mAh than the Alice V2's 4000mAh, reducing wireless runtime between charges
  • −Only a few color options remain in stock; many variants (Red, Black, Silver, etc.) are listed as sold out on Velocifire

Weikav Alice V2

  • +Ergonomic split Alice layout designed to promote a more natural hand and wrist position during typing
  • +Larger 4000mAh battery supports longer wireless sessions than the Lucky65 V2's 3750mAh battery
  • +Leaf-spring mount with beryllium-copper shrapnel delivers a soft, consistent bounce intended to reduce typing fatigue
  • +Includes a dust cover, screwdriver, and switch/keycap puller in the box for assembly and upkeep
  • −Alice layout can take time to adjust to, which may hinder productivity for users who touch-type on a standard row-staggered board
  • −Only supports VIA for programming; lacks the open-source QMK firmware flexibility of the Lucky65 V2
  • −Slightly heavier and larger than the Lucky65 V2, making it less ideal for compact travel setups

Which Keyboard Is Better for Your Needs?

For gaming and travel, the Lucky65 V2 wins due to its standard layout, lighter weight, and QMK support for deeper customization. The Alice V2 takes office and programming categories by offering an ergonomic split layout and a larger 4000mAh battery, which can reduce hand strain over long days. Modding favors the Lucky65 V2 again because of its QMK/VIA flexibility, tool-free ball-catch case, and additional plate options. Content creation is a tie since both have similar connectivity and desk-saving 65% footprints, leaving the choice up to personal layout preference.
