C2 Pro

One option is to buy a keyboard you like that says “hotswappable switches”. You can buy the switches separately and install them yourself. It’s a lot easier than it sounds. The ‘thocky’ ones I use is the Akko Bittersweet switches, and I installed them on my Keychron C2 Pro. A keyboard that doesn’t r

My last build was a Mekanisk Klippe kit that I spent about $340 on, plus close to $200 for the keycaps that are on it, but I also bought a wired Keychron C2 Pro for my mother a couple of months ago that was about $60. The Keychron is legitimately a good keyboard. It's not nearly as premium as my Kli

If you still want to build it yourself... Save your money and use Outemu Lime switches (sometimes also called Lemon). They're silent, light to type on, and cushy. And inexpensive. For a fullsize keyboard, the Keychron V6/Pro/Max is great. And the C2 Pro seems decent as a cheaper alternative. If you

I just got a Keychron mechanical to replace one that died earlier in the year. A low end Aukey mechanical, used Cherry clone MX blues (Clicky/tactile). Having used in a previous life briefly a buckling spring Model M from IBM many moons ago, I like the feel of the clicky/tactile best. Like you, I'm

wired only? you'll have to check out Chinese brands for that. Otherwise, the Keychron C2 Pro is an option. I have a Zuoya GMK104 Pro that can be gotten pretty cheap on AliExpress, but it has both Bluetooth and Wireless and it works very well. What you can do is grab one and just use it on USB mode a

Thank you so much. I was looking at this C2 https://www.amazon.ca/Keychron-Mechanical-Keyboard-Compatible-Keycaps/dp/B09JG7KRC7/ref=sr_1_4?crid=C3CK4RSA703X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.AIem3BeJjv-rSYYSq-gMxkreLUBXHPz2sp0NACXxtGS0sZg7Ybdd_bAdnrLq4iBaIPXQRQGQkd6rmLPMVcT_0NBVPiod6nvv8Sk3YZw2OkJwJu9Nh2K-zDKeIofuMxAKlZ

I need a full-sized keyboard, wired only (no battery). Keychron C2 Pro seems like a decent option but a bit on the budget side. What would you recommend from here? I'd happily get a V6 or Q14 if there was a wired only option.

That bricked one? Nope. It gathers dust waiting.Another one, i got later as a replacement, yes. Keychron published samples quite some time ago https://github.com/Keychron/qmk_firmware/tree/2025q3/keyboards/keychron/c2_pro_8k Though Artery chips flashing is not yet supported by QMK Toolbox. There are t

Greetings all! So, I've been wanting to upgrade from a wired Redragon 100% keyboard I got (can't remember the model number) and so I've been in the lookout for something. To be honest, I would normally be satisfied with my current keyboard. But I've grown tired of having to swap out switches every m
