What You Need to Know
Priced at $20.39, the MageGee K2 Wired is Magegee's entry in the 75% keyboards category. With 17 buyers rating it at 4.5 stars, it currently sits at #42 of 46 in our rankings. It won't beat the top picks on raw rating, but at 72% below the category average price, it has a different value proposition.
Construction & Key Action
The Membrane switches define how this keyboard feels in use. Switch choice is personal - what feels great to one typist can feel wrong to another, so it's worth knowing what category these fall into before committing. At $20.39, plastic chassis and basic ABS keycaps are expected - the spend goes into making the switches feel right rather than premium materials.
One feature owners single out about the MageGee K2 Wired: "Compact layout".
