KeychronK2 HE Rapid Trigger Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard with Hall Effect Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Switch, QMK 2.4 GHz Bluetooth 5.2 RGB Compatible with Mac Windows Linux (Aluminum + Wood)

I think I might be in love—with a keyboard. The Keychron K2 HE is just that good. From the moment I unboxed it, I knew this wasn’t your average typing tool. It’s perfectly weighted—not so light it slides around like a nervous chihuahua, and not so heavy it feels like it needs its own gym membership. It’s solid, stable, and a joy to use.Typing on it? Absolute bliss. Each keystroke delivers a smooth, rich “thock”—like tapping little velvet pillows that somehow boost productivity. It’s quiet enough for shared spaces, but still gives that satisfying tactile feedback that reminds you: yes, you are better than membrane keyboards.Aesthetically? Stunning. Sleek design, tasteful wood accents, and a look that says “I read Wired and have good taste.” The wireless connection is rock-solid—Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz—and the battery lasts so long I started forgetting it even has a battery.Customization is next-level. Adjustable actuation and dual-function keys make it feel like the keyboard was custom-made for me.And here's the kicker: I loved it so much, I went out and bought the Keychron K4 HE QMK Wireless Gaming Custom Mechanical Keyboard too. Because when something this good exists in a bigger size, you upgrade your obsession.

This Hall effect keyboard truly does it all. It’s an outstanding performer for gaming and an absolute dream to type on for productivity tasks. The keys feel incredibly smooth and responsive, and the adjustable actuation gives you total control whether you’re working or in a competitive match. The web-based software is powerful, feature-rich, and easy to use, making it simple to fine-tune the keyboard to your exact preferences. The only issue I had was with the firmware update process, which required unplugging the USB-C cable, holding the escape key, and then plugging it back in. It was a little tricky to get right, but once it was done, everything else worked perfectly. The wood accents along the sides give it a sleek, high-end aesthetic, and the build quality feels premium throughout. This is hands down the best sounding and best feeling Hall effect keyboard on the market right now.

Wanted to try out some magnetic switches and I do not regret getting this keyboard at all. Out of the box everything is in perfect working order. The build quality is great!Everything feels super sturdy and the wood accents on the edges do not feel cheap. The included key caps are made of decent plastic and don't have any gross shine through from the RGB. The switches feel sooo smooth and creamy making the typing experience amazing. The overall footprint is about the same as the membrane Logitech MX mini I was using before. All-in-all, a great little boardThe only complaint I have is that I would have liked more robust lighting options, but what's here is fine. Theres plenty of modes to switch through, just nothing really looks quite right with this design. I'm not huge on RGB anyway so it will mostly just remain static.

My work career has involved a keyboard of some kind, from the time I learned to type on a manual typewriter in high school. My professional career included word processing on both stand-alone and regular computer systems (that's a total of 50 years). I've used all types of keyboards (I fondly remember the original IBM PC as a favorite). Lately, I've been looking for a keyboard that would give me a great typing experience without breaking the bank. I tested several manual switch keyboards, but this was the first magnetic switch. The typing on this gives me the familiar feedback of both sound and feeling that I loved in the IBM. It's heavier than I expected, but that adds to the solid feel the keyboard has as I use it.This offers great functionality with the ability to switch between 2.4GHz/Bluetooth/wired connections. The keys are responsive, and the spacing is great for typing at something more than hunt-and-peck speeds. I prefer the soft-white lighting behind the keys, and the clear lettering on the caps also speaks to it's quality.All this to say that this has become my new favorite, hands down, for general typing use. I don't game, so I can't speak for what it might be able to do there, but if you are looking for a great quality keyboard that will make typing a pleasant experience (again ??), without costing the proverbial arm and leg, this is a great choice!

This keyboard would be utter perfection imo if it were a tad larger. The keys are a bit to close together for my preference. The typing experience is great though. The keyboard feels expensive and is of excellent quality. Keys are buttery smooth and responsiveness is adjustable through the web app due to the magnetic switches.

This is my second mechanical keyboard and after a day of use I’m so glad I purchased this K2 HE. It looks great and matches nicely with my wooden office desk. The Keychron web based UI for configuring the keyboard is really easy to use and let me quickly customize the keyboard actuation depth and remap some of the keys.The keyboard has all the different connectivity options you would want and so far has been flawless on both wired and 2.4ghz connections. I’m using it on a Windows PC and it was trivial to replace the 3 Mac keycaps with Windows keycaps that were included with the keyboard. They keycaps and stabilizers appear to be great quality for the price and the sound is very pleasant and clacky without being annoying or pingy. I highly recommend this keyboard if you like the wood accent look and want a very software customizable keyboard that sounds great out of the box.
