K2 Pro, from Keychron's store

The K2 Pro puts QMK/VIA, screw-in stabilizers and a steel plate into the 75% K2 with Bluetooth only for wireless. EnosTech called it a no-frills board that just works; Tom's Hardware's K8 Pro review found the Pro platform's Bluetooth and keycaps weak.

75% layout Tri-mode Hot-swap QMK/VIA

Our take, based on research

A solid 75% for QMK users who stay on Bluetooth or wired. The Max is the better pick if you want a dongle.

Overview

The K2 Pro is the QMK/VIA version of the K2. Keychron lists a 75% layout, hot-swap K Pro switches, a tray-mount case that is either ABS (940 g) or ABS with an aluminum frame (1070 g), a steel plate, PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers, double-shot PBT keycaps in OSA profile, a 4000 mAh battery, and 1000 Hz polling when wired but 90 Hz over Bluetooth. Bluetooth supports up to three devices; there is no 2.4 GHz dongle. The fully assembled black version is not hot-swappable and has no sound-absorbing foam.

EnosTech called the K2 Pro a no-frills board with everything most users need, noted the OSA keycaps take some getting used to, found the 75% layout slightly cramped around the arrow keys, and liked the three-device Bluetooth and two-level feet. Tom's Hardware reviewed the K8 Pro, which shares this platform, and was harsher: the OSA keycaps felt slick, Bluetooth performance was poor, and the tray mount made the typing feel stiff and the sound inconsistent despite added foam. Treat those as platform-level cautions rather than K2 Pro measurements.

Next to the K2 Max, the Pro lacks the 2.4 GHz dongle; next to the original K2, it adds PBT keycaps, a steel plate and QMK/VIA.

Pros & Cons

Strengths
  • QMK/VIA customization and hot-swap sockets
  • Steel plate and PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers (maker)
  • Double-shot PBT OSA keycaps
  • Three-device Bluetooth and wired USB-C; two-level feet (EnosTech)
  • EnosTech's verdict: a no-frills board that just works
What Could Be Better
  • Wireless polling is 90 Hz over Bluetooth, and there is no 2.4 GHz dongle (maker)
  • Tom's Hardware found Bluetooth poor and the tray-mount typing stiff on the sibling K8 Pro
  • OSA keycaps take adjustment and felt slick on the K8 Pro, and legends do not shine through
  • Arrow keys sit tight against the main block (EnosTech)
  • The black assembled version is not hot-swappable and has no foam (maker note)

Who Is This For?

Perfect For
  • Buyers who want QMK/VIA and a steel plate in a 75% for less than the Max
  • Mac and Windows users who use Bluetooth with up to three devices
  • Typists who like the OSA profile
Maybe Not For
  • Anyone who wants 2.4 GHz wireless (see the K2 Max)
  • Gamers who need lower wireless polling latency
  • Typists who prefer a softer gasket feel
