What reviewers say

  • The Verge review praises the Keychron Q2 for its excellent typing feel and build quality, noting that it is a refined version of the earlier Q1 with a quieter sound thanks to an added silicone gasket. The reviewer highlights the hot‑swappable switches, per‑key RGB lighting, and South‑facing switch orientation as strong points, while also pointing out the higher price compared to other Keychron 65‑percent keyboards. A key drawback is the smaller 65‑percent layout, which lacks a dedicated function row and can be inconvenient for some users, especially on PCs.
