Keychron C2 Pro Wired Custom Mechanical Keyboard Full Size Layout QMK/VIA Programmable Macro White Backlit with Linear Red Switch OEM Profile Double-Shot PBT Keycaps for Mac Windows Linux

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.

This keyboard is amazing for my Xbox one x, it feels and sounds so good! I love all of the different features it has.

I live the American dream. I work 8 to 5 in an office cubicle doing a job that has been proven to be more efficient at home. Let me tell ya: this keyboard is like me and not meant for the cubicle! At home, I have a mechanical keyboard, it’s around $200ish, and it’s an absolute joy. So much of a joy that I decided to try to get a cheaper mechanical keyboard to replace whatever it is they gave me at the office. Why not bring a little joy to the cubicles? Part of a mechanical keyboard is the sound. So I looked up youtube clips of the keyboard sounds and decided to go with the red switches. And I get it! Some people like louder keys, some prefer softer sounds. There are tons of ASMR videos out there. Everyone will be different. But this thing is LOUD loud. The second I took it for a test drive I knew it would be far too inconsiderate of me to bring to the cubicles. I can’t do that to my coworkers. I would consider it at half the volume. They make “silent,” switches on some of the other keyboards that cost more. Those are probably what you need for a cubicle. The keyboard felt fine otherwise. It’s lighter than my other one, but for $50? Seems reasonably built! It probably doesn’t deserve a star taken off, but I feel it must be stressed: this is NOT for an environment where others may be annoyed if you’re going clickity clack all day long!!! So with that in mind: go for it if you wish! It’s not as good as a $200ish custom board, BUT for $50??? I think it’s reasonable for $50. Get your toes wet. Upgrade later if you want. Peace!

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.

As of writing this, it hasn’t even been an hour since I received this keyboard. I unboxed it excited to use my brand new $64 keyboard, set it up without any modifications and opened a document to test it, only to run into immediate issues. Many keys require multiple presses to register, some don’t register at all, and others register multiple times with a single press. I’m extremely disappointed with the quality and would advise anyone considering this keyboard to look for alternatives.

Love this keyboard! Typing is very smooth and is a huge improvement coming from a non-mechanical keyboard. As someone who isn’t picky about all the fancy features of other more expensive mechanical keyboards, this was a perfect one to upgrade to

I’ve bought keychron before, this is my 3rd one, for my new work office. Always bought from their website proper. Decided to go through Amazon this time, probably because of shipping. Unfortunately, the keyboard arrived with a faulty key. The “I” key either double enters, enters late, or doesn’t enter at all. I tried pulling the key off, inspecting the switch. I’m not able to see anything I can fix. Too bad it’s otherwise a classic keychron keyboard. Love these things, usually.

Great keyboard. Very, very sensitive keys. Wish the keys had been translucent. Makes the backlight sort of useless.

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.
