Optimized design for an immersive audio experience.
The Endorfy Tock V2 TKL Wireless uses a sturdy aluminum plate in a combination of blue and yellow tones on a gray background. The internal structure is meticulously designed with three layers of sandwich-type sound-insulating foam, consisting of two layers of PORON and one layer of IXPE.
This combination eliminates echoes and hollow resonance, creating a characteristic warm, deep "thock" sound. Even the spacebar is equipped with a silicone cushion for dampening, ensuring consistent sound from the Esc key to the Enter key.
High-end Switch and Keycap System
The keyboard uses durable OEM PBT profile keycaps that resist wear and tear and maintain their shine over time. The double-shot molded characters allow ARGB lighting to shine through, ensuring exceptional durability.
The ENDORDY Yellow switch is a custom linear switch with a dual-rail design, pre-lubricated from the factory. Combined with a dual-spring mechanism, this switch delivers a light, smooth, and extremely precise typing feel.
Connectivity and smart features
The Tlock V2 supports tri-mode connectivity, allowing for quick switching between devices via 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, or USB-C cable. The bottom of the keyboard features a three-way cable routing groove and a convenient dongle storage compartment.
Endorvy's software allows for customizable ARGB lighting and macro setup. While the interface is visually appealing, the software is still considered to lack depth compared to major competitors like Logitech or Razer.
Areas for improvement
Despite its excellent hardware, the Thock V2 still has some limitations. The RGB LEDs aren't bright enough to clearly see the characters in the dark. Additionally, Endorfy's lack of specific battery life information and the absence of details about NKRO (N-Key Rollover) are regrettable drawbacks for a wireless product.
Summary
The Endorvy Tlock V2 TKL Wireless is a worthwhile option for those who prioritize a high-quality typing feel and sound at a reasonable price. While the software and LED brightness are somewhat limited, the hardware build quality and connectivity flexibility still make this product stand out in the market.
- Advantage:Smooth switching, great sound, premium PBT material, flexible connectivity.
- Disadvantages:Simple software, weak LEDs, lack of clear battery information.
