The Keychron Q2 is a 65% compact wired keyboard that feels very similar to the Keychron Q1, but it's smaller and has upgraded PBT keycaps with a different shape. It's highly customizable and comes in a barebones version so that you can install your own switches and keycaps. There's also a variant that comes with a programmable knob. We tested the fully-assembled version with tactile Gateron G Pro Brown switches, which feel light to type on and are very quiet. Unlike most other Keychron boards, there's customization software available, so each key is macro-programmable, and the customization software is available on Windows and macOS, as well as Linux. Unfortunately, it doesn't come with a wrist rest, but you can buy one separately to improve comfort. While its PBT keycaps are a great upgrade from the usual ABS keycaps found on Keychron units, they're not translucent, so the backlighting doesn't shine through the legends. Also, while its latency is decently low, it's not as low as other gaming-oriented options.
