Advertised as the new (and only) way to copy and paste on the site, it was an ultra-compact macropad called The Key. The punchline-turned product was a huge hit, selling over 10K units and earning a nearly 5-star average review. Now, we’re back with a second act: The Key V2. The same size as its portable predecessor, this punchline-turned-product has a few notable changes—including an acrylic case to accent its two built-in RGB LEDs. Plus, we made it hot-swappable, so you can easily change out the switches for a truly custom experience. And just like the original, a portion of all proceeds from The Key V2 will go to the data-driven social startup digitalundivided. + +* Keyboard Maintainer: [zvecr](https://github.com/zvecr) +* Hardware Supported: Drop **The Key V2** +* Hardware Availability: Limited Release - https://drop.com/buy/stack-overflow-the-key-v2-macropad + +Make example for this keyboard (after setting up your build environment): + + # default provided by Drop / Stack Overflow + make drop/thekey/v2:default + # common modification where C = CTRL+C, V = CTRL+V + make drop/thekey/v2:url-copy-paste + +Flashing example for this keyboard: + + make drop/thekey/v2:default:flash + + +See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information.
