Keychron C2 Pro Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Full Size Layout QMK/VIA Programmable Macro White Backlit with Tactile Brown Switch OEM Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps for Mac Windows Linux

I've been using a Noppoo Choc Mini with Gateron Brown switches for years, and I needed to switch to a keyboard with a full numpad. I was looking for a keyboard with the following: - Full size layout - Tactile/non-clicky mechanical switches (usually Brown) - Double-shot PBT keycaps This fit the bill, and for a very reasonable price. Overall thoughts on some features: The backlighting is nice. It's more for effect since the keys aren't transparent, but I like it. You can do a lot of the same lighting effects I've seen on gaming keyboards. The keyboard has a plastic case (some enthusiasts like metal cases specifically), but I don't mind at all. It's a nice black texture that simulates brushed aluminum, and fingerprints don't show on it. The construction is sturdy and doesn't have much flex. Typing also has a really satisfying "clunk" to it. The keys themselves are very smooth. Similar in class to Gatreon Brown switches in my opinion. No complaints. The caps themselves are also fine, I'm not a huge fan of the font style, but I don't mind it. Overall, for the price, an easy 5 stars.

Great build quality, good key feel. Very programmable, cool lighting effects (white light only, but it looks good) and while I ordered this one for my gaming PC, I am seriously thinking about getting another one for my Mac! It comes with keycaps for both types of OS, and a sturdy tool to remove the keycaps. If anyone is interested, these keys are compatible with the Cherry MX standard, so you can easily swap all the keys out.

Love this thing, the keys feel amazing, versatile, the cord is nice and braided, clean, overall very happy with this particularly for the price. I’m a mechanical keyboard newbie so take it for what it’s worth but overall very happy with the purchase.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Wanted something mechanical, but quieter that others. Full marks for that, but my "T" key occasionally double types, and one of my windows keys came with a scuff mark

I have used this keyboard for about two years, and I can't say anything bad about it. I enjoy the stock keycaps and the switches used. No complaints but have recently upgraded so I'm no longer using it. Does not have Bluetooth connectivity, as it is a purely wired keyboard. Supports USBC. Somewhat clicky sounding, but that is what I wanted. I don't know if I would necessarily have it as an in-office keyboard unless you have a private work area.

Background: I needed a cheap and quality (oxymoron!) mechanical keyboard for KVM of my 2 laptops. Already had a Corsair K70 for the last 3 years for my workstation. I didn't need all the colors and display disco for almost 3 times the price of this one while keeping the price around $60. I had heard about the Keychron's quality, so decided to spend my money on this. Also, I do not write reviews till at least 2 to 3 months of usage. However, the product is so good that I decided to break that rule. Pros: 1. Great packaging and presentation. Very simple layout of all the items in the box. 2. Easy setup with very clear instructions. 3. I prefer Red keys - these keys have very smooth operations as well as good solid clicks. Furthermore, the spacing of the keys is just right for my hands. My Corsair often misses the keys and slows me down, even after 3 years of practice with it. 4. Compact size with decent heft. 5. Nice cool white colored keys that match the background light of the 2 Dell laptops. The light doesn't feel overbearing at night. Cons: Basically nit-picks 1. The plastic body. Not a con, for the price. But the metal ones do look and feel nice. Cheap beggars (me) can't be choosers. 2. Need dedicated buttons for sound control. Not current FN + sound control setup. 3. Unless I am mistaken, I do not see any buttons for Print Screen and Scroll Lock. Also, Scroll Lock does not have a light to show if it's on. Bottomline: For around $50 this is actually a very good keyboard. If it lasts even for 3 years, I will be very happy. This product deserves 4.8/5.0.

It was a great keyboard. Nice sound, nice feel, worked smoothly. Then, out of nowhere, there was lag when typing. It started with the letter C and then it progressed until the keyboard became unusable. Double spaces, missing letters, double letters. I tried updating firmware, resetting the keyboard, different USB ports, different computers, even different OS and there was still this lag that became worse and worse over time. I can't find any other solutions to get this fixed, so I guess I'm back to my old $20 Logi that has been working for years.

The quality is great for the price with a single drawback that is important to know. The keycaps are not transparent. This means the backlights is kind of just aesthetic. You CAN replace the keycaps to address this issue, but if you do the LED backlights are located on the lower half of each key only. This means that regulars keycaps don't get illuminated because the light is muffled. If you intend to use this keyboard at night I would strongly suggest getting a new set of keycaps with the lettering on the bottom/front facing side of the keys, instead of on top (you can look up this style of keycaps if you are unfamiliar) this will allow them to be properly illuminated for use in the dark. If you plan to use only during the daytime, the keyboard is nearly flawless in my opinion, and the keycaps that come with it feel very high quality. I am both a blogger and a gamer and I find the switches quiet and comfortable when you select the red switches.

I just received this keyboard, the keyboard feels great 9/10 for the price, it feels heavy enough and although it's plastic doesn't feel cheap. That being said, the keyboard did not work, it's a wired keyboard that keeps getting disconnected. I've looked online and it seems to be a common issue with this brand, with excuses ranging from "It's the cable to it's your computer or you have to modify such and such file because the keyboards have a weird configuration". In any case, I would not recommend these keyboards, Keychron seems to have a quality control issue, too bad, seemed like a good brand.
