The Polish brand ENDORFY has revised its popular Thock series and is announcing three models in the new Thock V2 series, which not only impress visually with their elegant old gray look, but also feature numerous technical improvements. Inspired by the flagship Celeris 1800, the series is aimed at both gamers and creatives who value comfort, sound and flexibility. Particularly exciting: despite extensive upgrades, the prices are surprisingly affordable.

  • Three models available: two wired versions and one wireless model
  • Improved switches (ENDORFY Red & Yellow) with hot-swap support
  • Multi-layer acoustic insulation for optimized sound
  • Standardized software for lighting, key mapping and macros

Improvements in sound and typing feel

One focus of the redesign is clearly on the sound. With up to three layers of acoustic foam (PORON, EPDM and IXPE in the wired versions) and additional silicone dampers under the space bar, the Thock V2 ensures a pleasantly warm, muffled typing noise. Frequent typists and gamers in particular benefit from a significant improvement in sound compared to the first generation. Despite the damping, the feedback from the keys remains precise and crisp, which makes the keyboards interesting for both intensive gaming and long typing sessions.

The build quality has also been upgraded: All models rely on a sturdy aluminum top, which gives the keyboard more robustness and a classy appearance. ENDORFY is thus positioning itself with a product that is not normally taken for granted in this price range.

Flexible connection options

The Thock V2 series is particularly versatile when it comes to connection options. The wireless 75% version supports three operating modes: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz radio with low latency via USB dongle and classic cable via USB-A. A slide switch on the side makes it easy to switch between the connection modes, which is particularly beneficial for users who frequently switch between several devices.

The wired models rely on a detachable USB-A cable with a length of 1.8 meters. This solution ensures a tidy setup and makes transportation easier – a detail that is appreciated in many gaming and work environments.

New switch options for more individuality

The revised switches are another highlight. The wired models use ENDORFY Red switches, which offer fast response times and even illumination thanks to the milky housing – ideal for gaming. The wireless versions use the ENDORFY Yellow by Gateron switches instead, which were developed together with the switch specialist. They are characterized by a two-stage spring, particularly smooth typing behavior and a rich sound.

All models offer hot-swap support so that switches can be replaced individually without a soldering iron. In addition to keycap and switch pullers, the scope of delivery even includes two replacement switches, which makes them even more user-friendly.

Software and extras for more convenience

Control is via central software, which is available for all models and also works wirelessly. Lighting, button assignment and macros can be flexibly adapted here. ENDORFY also supplies useful accessories: Tools for individual customization, optional alternative keycaps for the wireless version and the option to purchase a magnetic palm rest separately.

It is precisely this combination of well thought-out extras, high-quality workmanship and individual customization that sets the Thock V2 series apart from many competitors in the same price range.

Conclusion

With the new Thock V2 series, ENDORFY shows that high-quality gaming and work keyboards don’t have to be expensive. Improved sound, new switches, flexible connection options and hot-swap functionality make the series an exciting overall package. The prices are 66 euros for the full-size version, 55 euros for the TKL model and 76 euros for the wireless 75% version (RRP incl. VAT in each case). This makes ENDORFY an attractive offer for anyone looking for a reliable and modern keyboard.
