Product Description
Done in a 60% layout, the Obinslab Anne Pro 2 takes up little space on the desktop. Factor in that it requires no cord thanks to Bluetooth wireless, and its footprint is even smaller Read More
I am glad to see that this finally made it back into a drop. Unfortunately, I gave up months ago and purchased one from somewhere else, so I don't need it now.
This is a follow-up to my review posted yesterday. I am pleased that Drop authorized an RMA the same day with no hassle after I described the problems I was having with the keyboard. I am disappointed with Obinslab for shoddy hardware, but I Drop has done all that I could have asked as a middleman in this transaction. Also, kudos to James Pontius for helping me get the refund and providing information about the return of the keyboard.
I recently bought 2 of these with Kailh Box switches (white and brown) on Amazon for $89 Prime shipped next day, direct from the authorized US seller for these. They're out of stock at that price now and HK Gaming Keyboards on Amazon jacks the prices way up, but keep an eye on sales there. In all honesty, I'd rather pay the markup for Prime shipped than wait for it here. It is well worth $100-120 in my opinion. Over $120 it gets a bit more iffy. My boards came with the new font keycaps and both work great. Kailh Box switches are, by far, the best on this board and I have quite literally used every switch version of this board. Bluetooth is flawless, battery life isn't the best but I still get 2 solid days of work out of it, using the sleep mode setting that turns the LEDs off when not pressed for a bit. The LEDs are not that bright anyway. The software is finicky, especially firmware updates. I had to do a few hard resets of the board when I first got it to get the firmware to take, but I think that was a software not keyboard issue and they supposedly have completely new software out. I use this on a Mac and between BetterTouchTool and the keyboard's own layout settings, I have been able to transition from a full size keyboard to 60% with no loss of functionality. The tap arrows are great. The only problem I ever have is when I'm using the keyboard hardwired into my MacBook Pro's USB hub and then remove the MBP from the hub to take it with me, while the keyboard is still plugged into the hub. For some reason, it just completely freezes in that situation but nothing a quick off/on of the bluetooth switch can't fix. All in all, great keyboard. Easy buy at $80, though I'm not sure I'd want to wait on Drop shipping. Even at $100 it is an easy buy though.
pornhub.comJust received mine from AMZ last night ($79 - Gateron Browns).
How can you tell what the battery level is?
How do you do a "hard reset"?
Haven't had time to download the Obinslab app for Mac yet. Maybe that will answer these and other questions I have. Thanks!
oh shit, didn't know I wouldn't get it until after November first. Misread as September before buying. Never paid for something on this site with this long of a wait time for shipping. 2 months? C'mon.

Any chance we'll get Type B keycaps (which are newer for the Anne Pro 2) rather than the Type A shown in product photos? (For those who haven't seen the difference, Type B dispenses with the stencil breaks in the shinethrough letters.)
Had been using this board for a couple of months now. Gateron Browns are decent, but they are still quite loud. I swapped them out and soldered on some Aliaz switches and they're great. Wish that the board supports QMK for more customization, but the in-house firmware is good enough for most use cases.
