The tactile feedback of the Gateron G Pro Brown Switches is like music to my fingers. Each keystroke is satisfyingly smooth yet responsive, making coding sessions less of a chore and more of an enjoyable experience. It's the kind of tactile feedback that makes you want to write just one more line of code, or perhaps an entire additional function.
Wireless functionality and the option to switch to wired mode are like having the best of both worlds. The Bluetooth connectivity ensures a clutter-free desk, essential for maintaining focus and organization, especially in a busy student environment. And when it comes to uninterrupted gaming sessions or heavy-duty coding, the USB wired option offers reliability without lag.
Now, let's talk about the compact 84-key layout. It's the perfect balance between functionality and space-saving design. This keyboard provides all the necessary keys without the bulk of a full-size board, making it an ideal fit for smaller workspaces (hello, dorm room desks!).
The RGB LED backlight is not just about aesthetics; it's about functionality. The customizable lighting options are not only cool to look at but also practical for those late-night coding sessions. It's like having a personal light show that also helps you see your keys in the dark.
The build quality, with its aluminum frame, speaks of durability and a premium feel. It's robust enough to handle the rigors of daily use, whether that's in a professional setting or a high-intensity gaming scenario. This keyboard feels like it's built to last, much like a well-structured piece of code.
N-Key rollover is another feature that cannot go unmentioned. The accuracy it provides during high-speed typing or gaming is impeccable, ensuring that every keystroke is registered without fail. It's the kind of dependability that every programmer and gamer longs for.
In conclusion, the Keychron K2 Version 2 is more than just a keyboard; it's a crucial component for anyone serious about their typing experience. Whether it's for coding, gaming, or general use, this keyboard offers a blend of comfort, functionality, and style. It's an investment that pays off in every click.
For me, these Browns by Gateron are an acceptable compromise between mechanical feel and reasonable noise, just as long as you are okay with the lack any actual mechanical "break" when actuating. I prefer not waking up the house late at night! That being said, I do sometimes still miss a clearly felt mechanical actuation feel, but this works for me, and is still legions ahead of any membrane keyboard, or Apple's own. I
The keyboard is rather tall, but not exceptionally so. I use it with the rear feet extended for a more sloped typing angle, which helps. I ordered the matching Keychron Wooden Palm Rest in anticipation of this and it makes a big difference when I do serious typing. I also prefer the feel of the finished wood on my palms over spongy fabric covered palmrests, or the bare glass top of my desk. When just casually surfing the web or doing other non-typing-intensive tasks, I put away the palmrest since it just tends to get in the way if I have to move the keyboard around and have desk clutter.
Bluetooth is rock-solid, with never a glitch or delay, ever. In fact the connection is far more reliable than with Apple's Magic Trackpad 2 that I bought at the same time. If I recall, I think I had to use a wired connection just once, to be able to boot up my brand new M1 Mac mini. This is a condition specific to only the M1 versions when using a non-Apple keyboard on a new machine.
The RGB color options and patterns, though entertaining as heck at first, end up becoming more of a distraction after a while. I ended up using one preferred color pretty much all the time. Keyboard circus lights can be distracting!
A note on the colors, specifically blue. Normally a color I might choose, this blue is not very bright, even when turned all the way up in the dark. I always end up using the brightest setting for all the colors, all the time, to get to a decent brightness level. Except for blue. I find it far too subtle. in my photos I use cyan/teal, which I like very much.
Battery life with the RGB lighting activated is an issue, but it's addressed in the descriptions when you buy it. Expect to get a full day's use out of it, then plug it in overnight so you're ready to go in the morning. With the illumination turned off, it's much longer, maybe a few days.
After nearly a year of use, I can say I am still satisfied with my purchase. I wish the lighting was a tad brighter, and the rubber on one of the folding feet has disappeared (a much bigger problem on the Keychron Palm Rest on which ALL of the pads slid right off it's base - a BIG problem since it'll wobble without!), but not enough suffer any buyers remorse. The keycaps still look good with crisp lettering, and they haven't acquired significant shine from use yet. Battery life is as purchased. it still looks and types great. Whether or not you consider it's reasonable cost vs. comparably featured keyboards from some others, it's a worthy purchase.
Except for that one rubber foot-pad... When one falls off, you know more will eventually follow. Especially when you consider how awful they were on my Palmrest. I tried everything to get them to stick - unacceptable that they all fell off within a few weeks of purchase.
Keychron, you make some good gear that I'm comfortable recommending to others. I want mine made right again; how does one get replacement feet, please?

Overall, great keyboard, the brown switches are nice and the RGB is very good, and might take some time to get used to the arrow keys positioning, if you're not familiar with the layout.
