What we like about Keychron K2 Pro QMK VIA Wireless

  • Extensive customisation through QMK/VIA support for remapping any key or macro
  • High-quality double-shot PBT keycaps with a comfortable OSA profile
  • Hot-swappable PCB allows for easy switch replacement without soldering
  • Solid build quality with an optional aluminum frame and internal sound-dampening foam
  • Seamless multi-device connectivity, pairing with up to three devices via Bluetooth 5.1
  • Full compatibility with macOS, Windows, and Linux, including a dedicated hardware toggle
  • Pre-lubed stabilizers and south-facing RGB for a smoother, better-lit typing experience

What we don't like about Keychron K2 Pro QMK VIA Wireless

  • High profile/thickness often requires a separate wrist rest for ergonomic comfort
  • Bluetooth latency is significantly higher than wired mode, making it unsuitable for competitive gaming
  • Standard PBT keycaps are non-shine-through, making legends hard to read in the dark
  • Charging can be slow, with some units arriving with zero battery
  • VIA software can have a learning curve for identifying specific key actions and layers
  • Occasional reports of hollowness or 'pinging' sounds from the case or spacebar
  • Bluetooth wake-up from sleep mode can be slow

Verdict

The Keychron K2 Pro is a 75% layout wireless mechanical keyboard that differentiates itself with full QMK/VIA support for extensive key remapping and macro customization. Key characteristics include a hot-swappable PCB compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin MX switches, south-facing RGB (or white) backlighting for better keycap compatibility, and a massive 4,000 mAh battery offering up to 300 hours of use with lights off. Main pros include its seamless multitasking via Bluetooth 5.1 for up to three devices, pre-lubed K Pro switches, screw-in PCB stabilizers for smoother typing, and durable double-shot OSA profile PBT keycaps. Cons include a relatively high profile that may require a wrist rest for ergonomics and higher latency in wireless mode which may not be ideal for competitive gaming.
