Know before you buy
Yes, the keyboard features a dedicated physical switch on the side that allows you to toggle between macOS and Windows layouts instantly. It also includes specific keycaps for both operating systems to ensure your labels match your setup.
No, this specific model is a prebuilt keyboard and does not feature hot-swappable sockets. You will need to solder if you wish to change the switches.
QMK and VIA allow you to remap any key, create custom macros, and build complex shortcuts directly on the keyboard. This means you can customize your workflow without needing to install proprietary software on your computer.
The south-facing RGB LEDs are positioned toward the front of the keyboard, which prevents interference with Cherry-profile keycaps. This gives you much greater flexibility when choosing aftermarket keycap sets.
The K2 Pro is equipped with a 4000 mAh battery, which is quite large for a 75% keyboard. Depending on your backlight settings, you can expect several weeks of use under normal wireless conditions.
Yes, the K2 Pro offers a 1000Hz polling rate when connected via the included USB-C cable, providing the low latency required for competitive gaming. While wireless mode is great for productivity, we recommend the wired connection for the most responsive gaming performance.
