Know before you buy
Yes, the K2 is fully compatible with both operating systems. It comes with dedicated keycaps for both Mac and Windows layouts, and you can easily toggle between them using a physical switch on the side of the keyboard.
The hot-swappable version allows you to change the mechanical switches without needing to solder them. This makes it easy to customize your typing feel or replace a faulty switch in seconds.
You can pair the K2 with up to three devices simultaneously via Bluetooth 5.1. You can switch between your connected devices quickly using a simple key combination.
No, the 75% compact layout omits the dedicated numeric keypad to save desk space while still retaining the function row and arrow keys. If you frequently input large amounts of numerical data, you may want to consider a separate external numpad.
The K2 features an ergonomic inclined bottom frame that provides a more natural typing angle. While it does not include a wrist rest, the standard profile height is generally comfortable for most users.
Yes, you can use the K2 in wired mode via the included USB Type-C cable while it charges. This ensures you are never forced to stop working if the battery runs low.
