AJAZZ has launched the AK820 V2 series mechanical keyboards, introducing new features aimed at gamers and PC users who want added functionality in a compact form factor. The lineup includes a standard knob version and a Smart Screen edition that integrates a rotary knob with a 0.9-inch circular TFT LCD color display placed in the upper right corner of the keyboard.
The Smart Screen version is designed to provide real-time system monitoring directly from the keyboard. The built-in display can show CPU and GPU usage, allowing users to keep track of system performance while gaming or running demanding applications. In addition to hardware monitoring, the screen can display weather updates, current volume levels, lighting effects, and active connection modes. This reduces the need to switch between software overlays and keeps key information within sight.
The AK820 V2 uses a 75 percent layout, offering a balance between compact size and functional key access. Users still get dedicated arrow keys and essential navigation keys, making it suitable for both gaming and productivity tasks. The keyboard features an ABS injection-molded shell and adopts a gasket-mounted structure, which is commonly used to improve typing feel and reduce internal vibration during keystrokes.
The internal structure includes a hot-swappable PCB with south-facing RGB LEDs, enabling users to change mechanical switches without soldering. This allows customization based on personal preference for linear, tactile, or clicky switches. A PC positioning plate is used along with five layers of sound-absorbing materials to help manage typing acoustics and create a more controlled sound profile. Front ambient lighting is also included to enhance desk aesthetics alongside per-key RGB effects.
For connectivity, the AK820 V2 supports tri-mode operation, including USB Type-C wired connection, 2.4GHz wireless, and Bluetooth. This makes it compatible with desktops, laptops, and mobile devices. The keyboard is powered by a built-in 10,000mAh battery, which is larger than many keyboards in its class and is intended to deliver extended wireless usage.
With the addition of a circular LCD display and system monitoring features, the AJAZZ AK820 V2 series enters the market as a feature-rich 75 percent mechanical keyboard option for users looking for both performance and customization. Available on Aliexpress for $60.
