Keychron V2 QMK Frosted Black Knob Version Barebone

The Keychron V2 (Barebone Knob) is a fully customizable 65% mechanical keyboard designed to be the ultimate entry point into the world of custom mechanical keyboards. With its ultra-compact layout and QMK/VIA support, this board offers endless possibilities for workflow optimization and key remapping.

This Frosted Black edition features a translucent ABS plastic case that gives your setup a unique, smoky aesthetic while allowing the south-facing RGB to shine through brilliantly. As a barebone kit, it comes without switches or keycaps, giving you the freedom to choose your own components to match your exact typing preference. Internally, it utilizes a tray mount design reinforced with a sound-absorbing silicone pad and foam to ensure a solid typing feel without unwanted hollow noise.
