Keychron K2 in Linux

OK... I got new mechanical keyboard: Keychron K2 😀 Nice and compact keyboard layout with F-Keys and cursor keys. Brown switch and RGB Led and big battery



It works nicely under Linux, I use gnome-shell, Fedora 30. Using USB cable or Bluetooth is also working. Key combo like Ctrl-Shift-PrintScreen is working and also trigger SysRq like Ctrl-Shift-Alt-PrintScreen-O is working (don't try this)


To make Function keys without pressing Fn use this command:

echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode

To make it permanent, edit /etc/modprobe.d/keychron.conf and reboot:

options hid-apple fnmode=2


We can also see remaining battery from Gnome Settings - Power
