I don’t think this is the fault of the keyboard though.
#Keychron battery indicator Bluetooth
Sometimes the Bluetooth profile works fine, sometimes there are terrible lags and I need to resort to plugging the keyboard in to have a typing experience that is in any way usable.

Unfortunately, that’s not the story on macOS with my 2019 Mac Mini. I haven’t noticed any lag and even when I go wired there doesn’t seem to be any difference in the performance of the keyboard. When using bluetooth profiles on iPadOS, it’s been great. You’ll also see this key flash when you turn your keyboard on so that you know which profile it’s using. You’ll see the backlight flash to signify that it’s connecting on that profile. Switching between profiles is achieved with the same action, but don’t hold the number key. When in pairing mode, the backlight will flash quickly. To pair to a second device, repeat the process selecting a different profile. Your keyboard will show up in settings and you can pair to it. With the connection type set to Bluetooth, press fn and then either 1, 2 or 3 for three seconds to pair with that profile. With a power switch, I just turn a keyboard off when I leave the house for the day. I love a keyboard with a proper off switch, because my kids regularly come in and start typing away on my keyboards which has created problems in the past. Bluetooth and wired on at either end of the switch with the middle position turning the keyboard off. You change between bluetooth and wired connections with the switch on the left hand side of the keyboard, which has three positions. The Keychron K2 has two different ways to connect to your devices. You won’t be able to build in any custom functions with the Keychron K2. The fn key on the keyboard really only accesses the function layer, bluetooth settings, and some LED colour settings. While other mechanical keyboards have layers for programming your keys, the Keychron does not have this.

Mine came with the macOS keys installed so I was set after a quick check to make sure that it was in the proper operating system mode.įor Windows and Android users, the keys you want are included in the box and they’re fairly easy to pull off with the included key puller. The Keychron K2 has a switch on the side dedicated to changing between OS modes. Like I said one of my biggest issues with the Akko 3068 was that it didn’t support macOS/iPadOS properly which meant that the Option/Command keys were flipped. I end up using it in the highest position. To finish off the construction of the keyboard, it has a dual position foot on the bottom that is rubberized to prevent slipping on your work surface. They also don’t have as sharp a sound at the Cherry switches on the Akko. I got the Gateron Brown switches, which feel softer than the Cherry MX Brown’s from the Akko 3068. The keyboard is available in three different switch choices, all from Gateron. Coming from macOS/iPadOS I’ve always used the built in keyboard commands to capture the screen and have never needed a dedicated button. I’ve trigged this key a few times by accident when I’m trying to use backspace. Even on iPadOS this dedicated button will take a screenshot.

With this keyboard you also have a full set of arrow keys, and page up/down home/end keys and even a dedicated print screen button. The Keychron K2 provides full support for media control. One of the faults I had with the Akko 3068 was the lack of much ability to control the media functions of my devices. The Keychron K2 is a 75% layout keyboard, with the notable addition of a top function/media row. The hardware switch on the Keychron K2 was the assurance I needed. After making a mistake about operating system support in the Akko purchase, I wanted to be sure that whatever my second purchase was, I knew without a doubt that it supported macOS/iPadOS properly.

In my quest for a new keyboard the Keychron K2 is my second stop, with the Akko 3068 being the first attempt at finding a nice mechanical keyboard.
