Keycult No. 2 Rev. 1.
Exceptional build quality with a unique dampening gasket system for a premium typing feel.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“There is no keyboard on earth that matches the No. 2 Rev. 1 in sheer build precision. Keycult has created something that transcends utility and enters the realm of industrial art. The gasket system produces a typing acoustic that is addictively satisfying, and the anodization finish is flawless. It is the undisputed king of the enthusiast keyboard world — and the only true successor to the Rev. 2 in Keycult's current lineup.”
