07/15/2021, 11:38 AMDoes it work cross platform?
I have a hyperx tkl mechanical keyboard that is messed up in mac due to driver issues with nkro.

07/15/2021, 12:14 PM@adventurous-fireman-74405 No. I had to place a pre-order through their indian site.

07/15/2021, 12:19 PM@careful-dawn-78148 I don't have a mac os device. It does work on windows, linux, and android. Should work on mac os. There is a switch on the side specifically for that.

07/15/2021, 1:38 PMThe height is quite tall, you would definitely need a wrist rest unless you type keeping your hands floating.

07/15/2021, 1:58 PM@broad-camera-13514 Yes. It's a problem. That's why I wanted to get K3. But I knew about this and I have a pad I can use to compensate.

07/15/2021, 5:08 PM@lemon-knife-94497 I have one lying around that I've only used for 3 weeks. After that I purchased a logitech K850 which comes with built-in wrist support.
If you want to buy mine, let me know. I can ship it to you

07/15/2021, 9:13 PM@faint-energy-11966 Thanks. But I think you misread. I already have something similar. Appreciate the offer though.

07/16/2021, 4:56 AMYeah the K2 is notorious for the height. Also it's quite old though, there's a k7 releasing soon

07/16/2021, 4:59 AMRoyal Kludge Rk84 can be a better alternative to k2, offers more features and shorter height than k2
but availability is an issue.

07/16/2021, 5:23 AMK7 is a 65% keyboard whereas the K2 is 75%. I wouldn't really compare both of them. The K7 is a slimmer version of the K6. Using key combos to do normal media functions is a no go for me.

07/16/2021, 5:26 AMI tried and searched everywhere. Keychron main website, Royal kludge, some indian websites(meckeys etc.). Only thing that was available to deliver was K2. I have v2 so it is not that old and fixes some issues with original k2.

07/16/2021, 5:44 AMmine just arrived (pre-ordered), quick feedback: as a first time mechanical user, this feels really smooth and soft keys(brown switch), much faster typing than in the Logitech k380. Wrist rest slab is a must. Only after using few weeks can tell if the investment/switch was worth it.
