Endorfy Thock V2 TKL Wireless Keyboard Review

Endorfy has been steadily building its presence in the peripheral market, but this is the first time we’ve had the chance to put one of their keyboards through our review process. Their latest Thock V2 series spans multiple layouts: full-size, TKL, 75%, and Compact, all offered in both wired or wireless variants, with ENDORFY Red or ENDORFY Yellow switch options. Our spotlight here is on the Thock V2 TKL Wireless with Yellow switches, which is a keyboard that balances portability with performance.

Because Endorfy is new to our bench, we’ll be comparing the Thock V2 against keyboards we’ve tested from other brands to see how it stacks up. More importantly, we want to understand what Endorfy is doing differently, whether in design, feel, or overall execution, and whether those choices help the Thock V2 stand out in a crowded market of mechanical keyboards.

We’ll conclude this article with our summarised thoughts and a product evaluation based on our in-house experience after using the keyboard full-time for over a week across a variety of workloads, from gaming to long-form writing, including this very article.

Specification

The Endorfy Thock V2 TKL Wireless keyboard is a versatile linear mechanical keyboard designed with both practicality and performance in mind. It measures 361.5 × 140 × 42.5 mm and features the US ANSI layout with 87 keys, offering the compact footprint typical of Tenkeyless boards while still providing full functionality for everyday use.

At its core, the Thock V2 is equipped with ENDORFY Yellow switches by Gateron, delivering a smooth linear feel. These switches are hot-swappable, meaning users can easily customise or replace them without soldering. The PBT keycaps add durability and resistance to wear, ensuring long-term usage.

While Endorfy has not disclosed details about the key rollover, the keyboard appears to be positioned as a multipurpose device suitable for both content creation and gaming, rather than strictly gaming-focused.

Connectivity is one of its strongest features, offering three modes: wired via USB Type-C to Type-A, wireless through a 2.4 GHz dongle, and Bluetooth. This makes it compatible across Windows 10 or newer, Linux, and Android, giving users flexibility across platforms. When wired, the keyboard supports an adjustable polling rate up to 1000Hz via software, ensuring fast response times.

For personalisation, the Thock V2 includes ARGB per-key lighting, configurable through Endorfy’s software. Users can create profiles and macros, though these settings are stored in the software rather than directly on the keyboard itself.

Endorfy Thock V2 TKL Wireless Design

The Endorfy Thock V2 TKL Wireless makes a strong first impression with its blue and yellow accents, grey finish, and premium build quality. It’s reinforced by a rigid aluminium top plate; the keyboard is engineered to withstand years of heavy use, giving it a reassuring solidity that sets it apart from flimsier alternatives.

Inside, Endorfy have gone further to refine the typing experience with three layers of sandwiched acoustic foam: two layers of PORON and one of IXPE. This combination effectively minimises echo and eliminates the hollow resonance often found in mechanical keyboards, producing the signature “thock” sound that inspired the keyboard’s name. The attention to acoustics continues with the spacebar, which is dampened by silicone pads to ensure a clean, satisfying sound from Esc to Enter.

On the right-hand side of the frame, a discreet switch allows users to toggle between Wireless, Off, and Bluetooth modes. It’s a small detail that adds convenience, though it took me a solid moment to locate it at first.

Endorfy also include a thoughtful set of accessories in the box: a 1.8m USB cable, a 2.4 GHz dongle, and both keycap and switch pullers. These tools make hot-swapping effortless, reinforcing the keyboard’s versatility.

The software is visually appealing and straightforward to use, though it lacks the depth of more established ecosystems like Logitech’s G Hub or Razer’s SYNAPSE 4. Rather than serving as a centralised hub for multiple peripherals, it functions more as a per-device setup tool. Still, it provides access to per-key ARGB lighting and macro creation, which will be sufficient for most users.

Its practical design implementations continue on the underside of the board. There’s a dedicated nook for storing the keycap puller and USB dongle, ensuring they’re always within reach. The cable can be routed in three directions, with channels that include small teeth to hold the wire securely in place, eliminating the common problem of the cable slipping out of the channels.

In terms of ergonomics, the Thock V2 offers three tilt angles, and its wider-than-usual feet provide excellent stability. Combined with rubber pads around the perimeter, the keyboard stays firmly planted on the desk, even during intense use.

Keycaps and Switches

The Endorfy Thock V2 TKL Wireless comes fitted with PBT keycaps, a slightly more luxurious and robust option than ABS. PBT resists wear and shine over time, and it’s less prone to degradation from UV light exposure. This makes the keyboard a long-term investment, as the caps maintain their texture and appearance even with heavy use. Beyond durability, PBT also offers a more satisfying acoustic profile, producing a deeper, less plasticky sound when typing. While PBT is more expensive to manufacture, its inclusion here reinforces the Thock V2’s positioning as a premium yet reasonably priced keyboard.

The keycaps follow the OEM profile, which is one of the most popular and versatile shapes for mechanical keyboards. With a curved top and standard height, OEM caps strike a balance between comfort and familiarity, making them well-suited for both extended typing sessions and casual use. This profile ensures that the keyboard feels natural to most users without requiring adjustment.

Adding to the premium feel, the legends are double-shot and shine-through, meaning the characters are moulded into the plastic rather than printed on top. This ensures they won’t fade over time, while also allowing the ARGB lighting to glow through each key.

Switches

Endorfy have collaborated with Gateron to develop a custom set of linear switches, finished in a unique colourway called ‘Endorfy Yellow’. These switches are designed to deliver a typing experience that feels both smooth and precise, standing out from standard off-the-shelf options. Each switch features a factory-lubed dual-rail design, a nylon base, and a two-stage spring. Together, these elements create keystrokes that move effortlessly, producing a sound profile that is both deep and warm and feels fluid.

Endorfy have also paid attention to stabilisation. All long keys are supported by pre-lubed, improved stabilisers, which eliminate unwanted rattle and ensure consistency across the board. This refinement makes the keyboard not only pleasant to type on but also reliable for gaming, where stability and responsiveness are critical.

For those who enjoy experimenting with different switch types, the Thock V2 TKL Wireless is hot-swappable, and let’s not forget about the included keycap and switch puller, which will make the whole process much easier. While compatibility is likely strongest with other Gateron switches, this flexibility lets you tailor the typing experience to your preferences without soldering or complex modifications.

Features We Like

Spacebar Padding

The spacebar is traditionally one of the most problematic keys on any mechanical keyboard. Because of its length and the stabilisers required to keep it balanced, it often produces louder, hollower sounds than the rest of the keys. This can cause distracting pinging or rattling noises, especially during extended typing sessions or gaming marathons when the spacebar is pressed frequently. Endorfy have addressed this issue by integrating two on-theme blue silicone dampening pads beneath the spacebar to reduce sound and make your experience more satisfying across the keyboard.

Theming of Endorfy Software

This is just a personal preference, but we at GeekaWhat use many software across many brands, and it can often feel a bit mundane trudging through the very bland-feeling UI. Endorfy have executed the theming of their application very well, and it echoes the brand aesthetics that they embody through both the peripherals and the design of their website.

Timely Macro Execution

Macros are a much-loved feature among both gamers and creative professionals, as they streamline repetitive tasks and simplify complex sequences. By automating inputs, they can significantly boost productivity and efficiency, whether you’re executing a rapid combo in-game or speeding up a workflow in content creation.

Macros can sometimes feel cumbersome if they don’t execute with the same precision or timing as recorded initially and intended. In those cases, they feel more like a hindrance than a helpful tool that they are designed to be. Fortunately, the Thock V2 TKL Wireless handles macros exceptionally well. Recording and playback are both intuitive and reliable, with sequences executed precisely as intended. This consistency ensures that macros remain a genuine aid rather than a frustration, ticking all the boxes for usability and performance.

Tri-mode Connectivity

It’s always satisfying to purchase a product that feels genuinely multipurpose, and the Endorfy Thock V2 delivers exactly that. By covering multiple use cases in one package, it not only saves you the hassle of buying separate peripherals but also makes the investment feel more justified. In practice, this versatility translates into long‑term value, and whether you’re gaming, working, or creating, the keyboard is ready to slot into your workflow without compromise!

Features We Don’t Like

Key-rollover not disclosed

One notable omission in Endorfy’s specifications is any mention of key rollover support. For gaming and enthusiast keyboards, NKRO (N-Key Rollover) has become a standard feature, ensuring that multiple simultaneous key presses are registered without issue. The absence of clarity here raises a red flag for those seeking a board tailored specifically to competitive gaming or advanced input scenarios.

That said, we must remember that this keyboard isn’t positioned or priced as a high-end enthusiast model. Instead, it’s designed as a versatile, multipurpose board that balances everyday usability with features like hot-swappable switches, wireless connectivity, and premium acoustics. While the lack of NKRO disclosure may limit its appeal to hardcore gamers, it doesn’t detract from its value as a well-rounded keyboard for general use.

No English UK Keyboard Layout

One of the more puzzling decisions Endorfy have made with the Thock V2 TKL Wireless is the lack of a UK English layout option. For buyers in the UK, this means settling for the US ANSI layout, which can be frustrating if you’re accustomed to the British arrangement of keys, such as Enter, Shift, and the placement of symbols. The omission feels even more awkward given that the keyboard is readily available on Amazon UK but not yet on Amazon US. In practice, UK buyers are left with a layout that doesn’t fully align with their regional standards, undermining accessibility in a market where the product is actively being sold. It feels slightly counterintuitive.

Software Lacks Depth

For RGB customisations, the lighting feels a little basic; despite offering a variety of display options, it doesn’t deliver the seamless experience I was hoping for. Endorfy’s branding is bold and confident in a good way, and the keyboard itself is built to a brilliant standard, yet the software side doesn’t quite match that same refinement. Having to download a .zip file from the product page to tweak settings feels clunky and outdated, and we aren’t even considering the bloat this will cause if you have to do this for every product you own from Endorfy.

Endorfy would benefit significantly from a centralised software hub that unifies all its peripherals on a single platform. Adding a few more layers of customisation, such as finer RGB brightness control, more advanced lighting effects, and deeper macro management, would elevate the overall experience. Right now, the hardware sets a high bar, but the software lags, leaving the RGB and customisation features feeling more like afterthoughts than true highlights.

RGBs Aren’t Bright

Even on the brightest setting, the RGB lighting feels more like a subtle glow; what’s worse, it’s not bright enough to be seen through the shine-through legends, so the addition of RGB lighting feels like a poorly executed idea.

Undisclosed Battery Life

One of the most common questions with any wireless device is simple: how long will the battery last? Unfortunately, Endorfy provides no clear answer for the Thock V2. The instruction manual merely states under “Safety Instructions” that “The life of the battery depends on how it is used.” While technically true, this feels evasive. Consumers already understand that heavier use shortens battery life – what they expect are concrete figures or at least an estimated range. By omitting this information entirely, Endorfy leaves buyers guessing, which undermines transparency and makes it harder to judge the keyboard’s real-world practicality.
