Keychron C2 Pro Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Full Size Layout

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.

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

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.

Key feel is very nice. Reminds me of the old apple II. Feels pretty solid for a budget keyboard.

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.

Keyboard felt nice and was excited for the price of the keyboard. The keyboard is "back lit" but you can't see the light through the provided key caps. After a few hours, several keys stopped working. I created a customer support ticket and went into detail on the issue and their response was just "Send video." So it was clearly a waste of time. I will not be purchasing another Keychron keyboard. Their quality seems to be going down hill.

This is an extremely well built keyboard. I cannot say this is "basic" due to the powerful QMK ability, extremely well built PBT keycaps, and overall solid build despite this being Keychon's "low end" mechanical keyboard. Also came with extra colored keycaps and a very good USB-C cable. However, unless you have really good noise suppression, this keyboard is oddly loud even after adiing o-rings to the red switches. I am also comparing the sound versus a J5 and a Q6 Pro, and while i've had louder keyboards, but still, it is loud. It is not an annoying loud if you want the "clack-clack", it is a lovely sound (and i dare guess with clicky switches it would be heavenly if you're into that), but can be annoying for some work situations. Pros: - Better than other brands worth 50%-100% more, build wise. - South facing LEDs, and to me, no RGB is not a con as i stick with solid colors anyway. - All keys are QMK programmable. - Spare colored keycaps add splashes of color. - Worked flawlessky even on a KVM. Cons - Hard to disassemble. Even keychron advise against fully disassembling this keyboard. - No sound proofing capability whatsoever. - Cable only operation, plus depending how your setup is configured, connector placing can be a blessing or a curse for cable management. - Keycaps are not see-thru, so LEDs don't help as much on dark rooms.

Works great with Linux. Feels really well built. It's heavy though so that may make some folks unhappy but I personally like a well built item. Lighting effects are what you expect. Nothing fancy. The interchangeable windows or super key is nice if you are using it on Windows or Mac.

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.
