Our Verdict

Obinslab Anne Pro 2

Keychron K2 (Version 2)

The Obinslab Anne Pro 2 is better than the Keychron K2 (Version 2) for most uses. The Obinslab has macro-programmable keys, customization software, and its latency is significantly lower, making it a much better choice for gaming. However, the Keychron has media controls and offers incline settings, which the Obinslab lacks. Both keyboards are available in a wide variety of mechanical switches.
