FAQs

Does this keyboard support wireless connection?

No, the Keychron C2 Pro 8K is a wired-only keyboard designed to maximize performance via a USB interface.

Can I use different switches with this board?

Yes, the board features a hot-swappable PCB, allowing you to use almost any 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style mechanical switch.

Is the keyboard compatible with Mac and Windows?

Yes, it is fully compatible with both operating systems and includes a physical toggle and dedicated keycaps for each.

What is the benefit of the 8000Hz polling rate?

The higher polling rate allows the keyboard to communicate with your PC up to 8000 times per second, resulting in lower latency and faster input response.

What material are the keycaps made of?

The keycaps are made from high-quality double-shot PBT, which is highly resistant to oil and prevents the legends from fading over time.

Does it have a backlight?

Yes, it features customizable South-facing RGB LED lighting.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not responding to key presses

Check the USB connection to ensure it is seated firmly in both the keyboard and the computer's USB port.

Keymap customization not saving

Ensure you are using the correct firmware layer in the VIA/Launcher app and confirm you have clicked the 'Save' or 'Flash' button after making changes.

Backlight not turning on

Use the keyboard's integrated backlight control keys to ensure the brightness is turned up and the LED mode is active.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the C2 Pro 8K is straightforward: simply connect the keyboard via the included USB Type-C cable to your computer. The keyboard is plug-and-play for both Windows and macOS, featuring a physical system toggle to switch between OS key layouts. To customize your experience, navigate to the Keychron Launcher web app on your browser to modify your keymaps. For maintenance, keep the board clean by using a keycap puller to remove the PBT caps periodically for dusting. Because it is hot-swappable, you can remove individual switches if they fail or if you wish to experiment with different switch types, provided they are 3-pin or 5-pin MX-style compatible. Avoid using liquids directly on the circuit board to prevent damage.
