What customers say
The IKEYX Rabbit Purple V2 keyboard earns high praise primarily for its exceptional typing experience and superior build quality. Enthusiasts consistently highlight the proprietary Rabbit Purple tactile switches, noting their perfectly balanced, crisp tactile feedback that remains comfortable during extended use. The V2 iteration delivers significant acoustic improvements, producing a deep, satisfying sound profile right out of the box, reducing the need for modification.

Know before you buy
These are tactile switches, meaning you will feel a distinct 'bump' during each keystroke. Combined with the 22mm dual-stage spring, they offer a snappy, responsive return that feels precise and satisfying for both typing and gaming.
These are 5-pin, MX-style switches designed for hot-swappable mechanical keyboards. If your keyboard supports 5-pin switches or standard Cherry MX-style mounts, these will be compatible.
The Rabbit Purple V2s are engineered for a crisp, HIFI-level sound profile. The combination of PC, POM, and PA66 materials helps produce a cleaner, more refined acoustic feedback compared to basic stock switches.
Opting for factory lubrication is recommended if you want a smoother feel and reduced friction right out of the box. It saves you the time and effort of manual lubing while ensuring a consistent, buttery typing experience.
The dual-stage spring provides a more consistent force throughout the key press and a faster, more energetic return. This helps prevent the 'mushy' feeling sometimes found in standard single-stage springs.
With an actuation travel of 1.8mm and a bottom-out of 3.0mm, these switches have a slightly shorter travel distance than traditional mechanical switches. This allows for quicker inputs and a faster response time, which is ideal for users who prefer a responsive, modern feel.
