UK Keychron V2 QMK RGB Tactile Mac/PC Frosted Black Custom Keyboard with Knob - V2-C3-UK

All-Around Customizable Keyboard
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be easily assembled so you can customize and adjust any or every part the way you want.
Note: The screw heads are molded into the case, so they have a very strong grip and won't fall out.

Programmable Knob
Designed to enhance your creative workflow, the aluminum rotary encoder allows you to easily customize your favorite keys and macros on the knob through the VIA software.
You can easily customize the V2's knob to your desired key or macro commands such as: zooming in/out, adjusting screen brightness, brush size, volume, selecting video clips or photos, or backlight hue.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
A powerful ultra-low-power ARM architecture MCU equipped with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box, which makes latency non-existent for the competitive game.

OSA Profile ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps
To further leverage your typing experience, the V2 ISO version comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical angle) and ABS keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel and a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.

Switch Layouts Between macOS & Windows
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron V2 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Program V2 with QMK & VIA
With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects and more.

Get the V2 keymap working on VIA
To get started, please follow these steps: download the appropriate keymap JSON file below, open VIA, turn on 'Show Design tab' on 'Settings' tab, drag the JSON file into the 'Design' tab on VIA to get the V2 keymap working on VIA
Since the VIA code for the V2 is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized, so you will need to manually download and enter the V2 keymap.

 

Hot-swappable
The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights
The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Pre-lubed Keychron K Pro Switch
By optimizing the switch mold, the K Pro switch wobbles less than a standard mechanical switch and feels smoother on each hit. Plus, the factory pre-lubed process on all the K Pro switches (exclude the clicky ones), no doubt this will ensure the best smoothness at your fingertips when typing.

All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers
The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky. The big keys' (space bar, shift, enter, backspace) typing experience is now more stable and smooth. The Keychron V2 also supports third-party screw-in PCB stabilizers.

  Mr. E  28/03/2023
Well, well, well, what a nifty little contraption we have here! I bought this keyboard for some jolly good fun in my home office, where I can indulge in the louder style switches. I must say, the pre-lubed Keychron K Pro browns were rather superior to the unlubed cherry browns, but not quite in the same league as pre-lubed Gateron Pro browns. So I've swapped them out for Boba U4Ts, and I've paired them with some rather fancy and pricey SA-P snowcaps.

Now, I must admit, I was a bit hesitant about the layout at first, but the semi-translucent case and the knob give it a playful and rebellious flair that breaks free from the traditional grid style. I may even look into deepening the sound of the typing with some mods - it's quite the experimental board, you see!

This is my first time venturing into the world of function key-less keyboards, and I haven't missed them one bit! It's just a downright fun piece of kit, and from my favorite dealers of keyboards in the UK, no less. I'm tickled pink by this keyboard, and I'm sure it will bring joy and amusement for years to come.
