Our Verdict

Dygma Raise

Dygma Raise 2

The Dygma Raise 2 is the successor to the original Dygma Raise. Both are visually similar ergonomic mechanical keyboards with a split design. The major difference is that the Raise 2 introduces wireless connectivity, supporting both 2.4GHz and Bluetooth via an add-on purchase. Both options also have add-on tenting kits available, but the Raise 2's kit is built-in and includes reverse incline options, whereas the original requires external components and doesn't offer reverse tilt. Lastly, both keyboards have per-key backlighting; however, the original Dygma Raise included underglow lighting in its base configuration, while on the Raise 2, underglow is only available as a separate add-on.
