Lucas Ropek has used the Keychron K2 for about two years and says he hasn’t looked back.
The $60 keyboard supports USB and Bluetooth connections.
His article also surveys newer Keychron models, including a wooden-bodied K8 HE priced around $200 and the one-handed C0 HE, which was sold out at publication.
Keychron launched in 2017 on Kickstarter. Since then, it has released dozens of keyboards, numeric keypads, and mice. In the two years prior to the publication of this article, it has also introduced newer models, with different features and prices.
Among them is the Keychron K8 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard, with a wooden body and backlit keys. It costs about $200, while the K2 costs $60.
The C0 HE One-Handed 8K Keyboard is a one-handed keyboard designed for ease and speed, with an industrial look. It was out of stock at the time of publication. Keychron has also refreshed its K, Q, and V series keyboards. Prices for many models in these series range from $100 to $200, depending on the model and its features.
Users can change the keycaps or order custom-designed ones. The author prefers the distinctive sound of mechanical keyboards, although others may find their loud sound annoying.
He also likes the retro aesthetic of Keychron, which reminds him of older electronics and computers.
