Last year, we reviewed the MODA tenkeyless mechanical keyboard from Nixeus. Today we?re looking at the MODA v2 which conserves the tenkeyless form while introducing some improvements. You might be more familiar with the monitors from Nixeus which use high-end panels in a no-nonsense product. Their first MODA keyboard followed a similar fashion of straightforwardness that we expect to see in the MODA v2.

In addition to the aforementioned tenkeyless layout, the MODA v2 most notably features Kailh mechanical switches available in three varieties: Red, Brown, and Blue. Kailh switches are Cherry MX clones though they aren't knockoffs by any significant stretch. We?ve tried out a few mechanical keyboards with Kailh switches a few times this year and realistically were unable to differentiate them from keyboards with Cherry MX switches.

The MODA v2 is packaged in a cardboard box printed with the usual graphics and information on the front and back. The usage of Kailh mechanical switches is clearly mentioned.
