Keychron K2 Manual

Connect Bluetooth

On the side of the keyboard, switch the toggle to Bluetooth. Press fn+1 ^{3 seconds} and pair with device named Keychron K2.

• fn+1 connect to 1st device

• fn+2 connect to 2nd device

• fn+3 connect to 3rd device

Linux

To properly connect the keyboard to Linux, make sure that your system has the following utilities:

• blueman (maybe)

• bluetoothctl

• hcitool

hcitool on ArchLinux is in the bluez-deprecated-tools package.

Connect Cable

On the side of the keyboard, switch the toggle to Cable.

Change Light effect

Light 💡 is the key in the upper right corner of the keyboard.

• fn+light turn on/off backlight

• light change light effect

• fn+right arrow/left arrow change backlight color

• f5 and f6 keyboard brightness

• fn+l+light ^{6 seconds} lock/unlock the light effect you are using now

• fn+= and fn+- change the animation speed

Tip	If you use f1, f2 etc. keys as the standard function keys, then f5 and f6 will still control the brightness of the keyboard. To avoid this behavior, you need to long-press fn+k+c 3 seconds (or fn+k+c ^3 seconds in Windows mode) after which the keyboard will blink three times.

Miscellaneous

Battery

White Backlight Version:

• fn+b, if the power is above 70%, the backlight of the whole keyboard will on; when it is 70%~30 %, backlight the first row will be off; when it is under 30%, the first 2 rows will turn off automatically

RGB Backlight Version:

• fn+b, if the power above 70%, the charging indicator is green; 30%~70 %, the charging indicator will be blue; when it is under 30%, the charging indicator will keep flashing

Del

• fn+Del will perform as the Insert key

• fn+i+d ^{3 seconds} reverse the function of Del and Insert. Vice versa.

Etc

• fn+s+o ^{3 seconds} disable the Auto Sleep Mode

• fn+z+j ^{5 seconds} factory reset

How can I switch the caps lock color? Right now it is solid red on or off?

I found the answer. fn + Caps Lock + P -- Hold these three keys together for 6 seconds, the Caps Lock key will no longer follow the backlight mode.

I know someone was interested in that.

Will we be able to change the cap lock color from the other colored keys? From: Oleksandr Liashenko (Alex) ***@***.***> Sent: Monday, January 6, 2025 9:50 AM To: WestSmit ***@***.***> Cc: Comment ***@***.***> Subject: Re: judaew/keychron_k2.adoc @WestSmit commented on this gist.
