Anne Pro 2
One of the original wireless 60% keyboards — Bluetooth, PBT keycaps, and a wide switch selection at a reasonable price.
Quick verdict
The Anne Pro 2 was the wireless 60% to own before the Royal Kludge and Keychron alternatives arrived. It remains a competent board with a wider switch selection than most at this price, reasonable Bluetooth connectivity, and PBT keycaps included. Its age shows in some areas — no hot-swap, older Bluetooth implementation — but the fundamentals are solid.
Pros
- Wide switch selection — Cherry MX, Gateron, and Kailh Box all available
- PBT keycaps included
- Bluetooth wireless
- Compact 60% form factor
- Established community with good documentation
Cons
- No hot-swap — switches are soldered
- Older Bluetooth 4.0 — pairing is less seamless than newer implementations
- Battery life is short with backlight on (~8hrs)
- ObinsKit software has reliability issues
- No wireless gaming — Bluetooth only, no 2.4GHz

Who it's for
The Anne Pro 2 suits someone who wants a wireless 60% with specific switch preferences — the ability to choose Cherry MX, Gateron, or Kailh Box at purchase is more flexibility than most competitors offer. It also has an established user community with lots of documentation. If hot-swap isn't a priority and you want to choose your switch at purchase, it's still worth considering.
Build & design
Standard plastic construction for the price — compact, light, and functional. The PBT keycaps are a genuine inclusion at this tier; they resist shine better and have a more satisfying texture than ABS alternatives. The Bluetooth implementation works reliably for typing and light use; the older Bluetooth 4.0 specification means pairing isn't as instant as newer boards. Battery life is the biggest practical limitation: about 8 hours with RGB on, significantly more without.
Typing experience
Cherry MX options make this one of the few wireless boards where you get true Cherry reliability. Gateron options provide a smoother feel at lower cost. Kailh Box switches add weather-sealing and a more precise tactile feel. Whichever you choose is fixed — no hot-swap means no changing your mind later without soldering. Choose carefully based on your switch preference.
Software & customization
ObinsKit handles RGB configuration, macro programming, and Bluetooth device management. It works, but has a reputation for occasional crashes and slow updates. Most users configure it once and leave it alone. The keyboard has onboard memory so profiles persist without software running.
The verdict
The Anne Pro 2 is a competent wireless 60% that's been surpassed in specific areas by newer competition — the RK61 has hot-swap at lower cost, the Keychron K8 has a larger layout and better battery. Where the AP2 still leads is switch variety at purchase. If you know which switch you want and want wireless 60%, it's still a reasonable buy.
