Anne PRO 2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard

This is and amazing keyboard but is definitely not perfect,I will talk about pros and cons of the device and a tip. Pros: 1. It is very compact and is easy to pack up in a bag. 2. It is very sturdy and does not seem to be cheap. 3. The software is simple and easy to use. 4. It has great features like having arrow keys on the right shift,control,fn1,fn2 keys if you tap them they work has arrow keys, if you hold they have a regular function. 5. Comes with free blank, colored keycaps for some customization and are quality keycaps 6. The bluetooth allows for a long 8 hour life, way better than the original 7. Has a bluetooth off and on switch underneath 8. The spacebar stabilizers are one of the best in the world it is easy to press at all parts of the spacebar Cons: 1. It has a feature where if you are updating the firmware you can brick the keyboard if you shut off the pc while updating it 2. It is a little picky but it does not have and red switches which is a little upsetting for me but the brown switches work very well 3. It does not have any stands underneath but it is at a comfortable angle regardless 4. It does not have any wrist rest which is fine for it being a 60% keyboard Ok for a summary it is very good but has quirks and the 3rd and 4th cons are kind of iffy but are still problems for some and my top is if you keyboard is "bricked" it really isn't you just need to plug it in with the software up and just click on the USB option and you just finish the update if it stops at 5% then go to your settings and turn off your anti-virus software until you are done then your keyboard will work again I had the struggle as well with this but fixed the problem big shout out to reddit for the help and I hope you enjoy your keyboard and my recommendations are to get it because I think personally think it is better than a ducky one 2 mini don't get too triggered but it is true sure the ducky has more lights but this can be wireless and has a great battery life for even some streamers and there are little to no latency issues with the wireless mode and if you are a gamer then you can make it wired for the best gaming experience so I hope this review is a good reason for why you should get it. Hope you all enjoy your keyboard if you bought it ! :D

For a while now I have been wanting to get a new keyboard, I began looking on YouTube and got introduced to the world of 60% keyboards, etc.. At first I wanted to get a 75% keyboard because I use the arrow keys a lot. Then I read and saw that this keyboard had a "TAP" feature where you can tap the right shift, right control, etc and it would act as arrow keys which is amazing. The transition from a regular keyboard to a 60% was seamless. I got the Gateron Brown switches which are AMAZING, the linear feel yet the little click you can feel is amazing and completely different compared to my previous keyboards. I previously owned a HyperX RGB Alloy Core and before that, the Black Widow Chroma v1. I personally don't use the blue-tooth feature so I'm not too familiar with all those issues other reviews claim this keyboard has. Another thing which scared me when I first got the board was MAKE SURE THE USB-C IS CONNECTED THE RIGHT WAY, I had just put it however and the board wouldn't work, later I read that it had a right/wrong way to insert it. All in all great board and I will update if anything happens after continuous use.

I am writing this review after using it for a while and let me tell I put away my Corsair K95 Platinum with Speed MX cherry for this it saved me alot of space for I use it only for gaming and it’s very compact easy to reach all buttons specially for gaming I wish they added ASDW keycaps in a texture way instead of the blank keycaps > personal opinion however I order deferent keycaps for this bad boy with a Rubbr keycaps for ASDW. I faced this problem were USB wasn’t recognized by windows I searched online and found a solution were I had to update my USB driver. The OBINS app it is very easy to use and since u don’t have Keyboard lock to prevent me from opening windows key buy mistake I remapped it to the right side.. so yeah if you’re a gamer it’s really a good keyboard for you One more thing I’m using the Brown switches which is similar to the Red one but you get this tactical feed back that you pressed the button not like my Speed MX cherry were sometimes I was hitting a button by mistake because it needs almost nothing to press it

I have used this keyboard for several days and I've written about 8K words with it so far. The quick version is that this is a 60% sized keyboard, which means they have to trim some keys to make this work like a full sized keyboard. It features Bluetooth, has a rechargeable battery, and RGB lighting. The keyboard can store RGB and key settings so you don't have to have it connected all of the time. That is, I can setup a key to act a certain way, and that setting will persist no matter which device I'm connected to. The first thing I did with the keyboard was connect it to my Macbook, chose the Mac layout, and download it, which took a second at most. BTW, kudos to Obins for proving functional Mac software. Then I ran a firmware update to make sure I had the latest. I then connected to my iPad with bluetooth and tested the connection which was solid. Same story with my iPhone. So I'm quite pleased with the bluetooth capability, and the ability to connect to multiple devices. I like having lighting on a keyboard, not so much for the pretty lights, but because I have to wear prescription reading glasses, and it's hard to read the keys on a keyboard. Having a lighted keyboard helps a tremendous amount. While the RGB can do different patterns, I leave mine on solid blue because it looks nice. The lights are adequate, but they are not super bright. I do wish they would go a few clicks brighter. One minor annoyance is that the keyboard saves space by doing away with the arrow keys. Now, this keyboard has a very slick solution. Four of the keys on the right side, including the SHIFT key, can act as arrow keys it you tap once, and then tap one more time, and this works great. However, it is a detriment because quite frequently I use the right shift key and the cursor jumps up a line. The gateron brown switches feel good. I have a K95 Platinum with MX browns and the gaterons feel very similar. I honestly find typing on the Anne Pro 2 to be a delight. The one thing they could fix, though, is the space bar. It rattles a bit and could use some stabilization. I have a Realforce 87U 55G and it is the best keyboard I have ever owned. I use it the most when I'm writing. The Anne Pro 2 is excellent because I can connect to so many different devices and keep writing if I'm sick of sitting at my desk. So make no mistake, the Anne Pro is a great keyboard, but it is no Realforce - nothing is. This is my first Anne Pro keyboard and I'm very satisfied. I just wish it had a few of the kinks worked out like brighter lights, and the funky arrow key issue.

Came fairly fast in the mail, unfortunately was just sliding around in a larger box but nothing was damaged so that was fine for me, not sure if anyone had a bad experience with that. I got the Gateron brown's (Gateron > Cherry MX imo) and I like them for all around gaming and typing since I use it for Destiny, CSGO, League of Legends, writing projects for school, Starcraft 2, etc. and needed something that would work for all. The RGB is cool and really customizable but not quite as bright as I though it would be, nbd though. The software is good for customizing, although some of the custom functions did not work, though I suspect this was due to me using it on my mac while my PC is back at school so I'll see in the future. Overall, really glad I got this and love the look of it all black and even more after some customization.

If you want a 60% keyboard look no further this thing will make you the cracked gamer you want to be and gives the ducky a run for its money. The program is so easy to use I made my dog do it for me while playing fetch with my ducky keyboard. Every click is smooth and sturdy like my ford truck. But in all seriousness the keyboard is amazing and worth a go I haven’t stopped using it since I got the thing and never had a problem.

The main complaint I have about this keyboard is that it bricks itself or may shut down your computer (I have a Mac, can't speak for PC). Ways it bricks (makes itself unusable) itself is: 1. RGB lighting affect bricking the keyboard, any of the cool effects that aren't default will probably not work. 2. Firmware update bricking the keyboard. 3. Keyboard itself will sometimes randomly brick itself. If anything like this happens to you, make sure bluetooth is off and cable unplugged hold ESC key and then plug it in with the ObinsLab software app running. Then something like anne pro 2 IAP or HID will pop up and then upgrade the software to the previous version. If it doesn't work keep trying or download another version or switch to Alpha. So besides bricking itself the other problem some may have is the RGB. I provided a picture of it in rainbow trigger, the faster you type the faster the rainbow moves from left to right. I will have to admit this affect and others like poptang, the other rainbow are actually pretty good. The problem I have his the RGB seems limited to the main colors and has difficulty producing colors like white , orange, and yellow for example. The other pic I have is the white LED color and as you can see it is tinted blue. The white keycaps might make the white look whiter but its still probably tinted blue on them too just harder to tell. What I do like about this keyboard is that my gateron brown switches feel great and sound great. I also have a towel under the board to dampen the sound further. The build quality is also good and there is little to no ping on the board unlike some gaming keyboards. Other nice features is Mac support and remapping keys with Obinslab. Also the tap arrow key feature is great as well. So like I said the keyboard is 4.5 stars when it doesn't have problems.

Amazing keyboard! Very good quality and works very well. No lag when typing at all. Only compliant is that one of my keys (the ‘H’ key) scratched and I’m not sure how. It’s not even a key that I’ve removed, so I’m not sure how it got such a deep scratch. I’ll probably change out the keycaps anyways, but a small little annoyance. Otherwise the board is great, has very low lag, and RGB is amazing!

No complaints, I'm really happy with it, the keys have a nice texture, the entire keyboard is actually pretty heavy so it feels really robust and premium.

This keyboards form factor is amazing however I dislike the switches. If you decide to choose brown switches on this keyboard then don't, the tactility isn't very good and you will much prefer linear if you are gaming. Yet, for typing tactiles are fine.

I enjoy using the anne pro 2 great it has an amazing fell to it and i really enjoy playing games with this keyboard it responses very quickly would recommend to people but mine did come with a faulty USB Type C cable , If you are going to buy this keyboard and want to change the RGB Lighting keep in mind that your Type C cable may come faulty so buy one in advanced and because the Type C came faulty i am unable to use the ObinsKit for the anne pro 2 .

Great little keyboard, shame I seem to be experiencing the same USB connectivity issues that have been reported on a few forums. MAC just wont recognise the device when plugged in. I've read changing the cable helps, which I have, same issue. Maybe I've got another dodgy cable? Seems unlikey. Am going to give it a few more days, if the problem persists I'm going to return for a refund. 27/08/19 UPDATE - ITEM RETURNED USB problem persisted. Tried c- a + c-c cables. Updated firmware/software. MAC OS is up to date. Tried all available ports as some are powered, some not on iMac..(Yes the Bluetooth connection switch is off...) It's a real shame, as it's a lovely looking piece of kit. But for £120 they really need to focus on quality assurance. Thats a lot of money for something that only works when it wants to. :( Bizarrely checking forums the Ducky has issues with MAC over USB, defo some QA holes around MAC OS for these products. My advice...Save your money and stick with Logitech/Razer for the time being.. :( See you for version 3 I guess.

Great quality keyboard for the price - very solid and reliable.
