Keyboard Review

This is a review of the KeyChron K2 keyboard that I have been using for the last year and a half or so. I had originally purchased the keyboard due to its small size and ability to connect via bluetooth. After using the keyboard for a while, I have ended up purchasing a second KeyChron keyboard to use for both work and home.

Pros

There are some pretty nice feature of this keyboard that makes it my go-to for work and play.

  • Small form factor
  • Arrow keys
  • 3 bluetooth connections and one wired connection
  • Switch for Mac / Windows layout
  • Switch for bluetooth / wired connections
  • RGB lighting (on some models)
  • Multiple switch options
  • Lots of color options and pattern to chose from

Cons

  • Lack of number pad (obviously)
  • Default keys feel a bit cheap
  • No insert key?
  • FN keys work differently between different computers (might be a personal issues)

Would I recommend?

Absolutely - this keyboard is fantastic. I think it really hits that “dimishing returns” point on the cost / benefit curve. That is, you could spend a lot more money and get only a marginally better keyboard. As a first keyboard, I’ve found this to be very good and would recommend for someone interested in getting into mechanical keyboards without breaking the bank.
