Halo75 V2 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - 75% Wireless RGB

In this review the Halo75 V2 mechanical keyboard is evaluated for gamers and power users who want a compact 75% board with flexible wireless options and strong build quality. The biggest reason to consider it is the combination of a solid aluminum top shell, distinctive halo lighting and support for Bluetooth, 2.4GHz and USB-C modes that let you switch between up to four devices. For those who prize customizability, the V2 also supports QMK/VIA firmware so remaps and lighting profiles are not constrained.
