K2 HE Rapid Trigger Wireless Magnetic Custom Keyboard

I am a professional software engineer and computer enthusiast. I have used no fewer than a half dozen mechanical keyboards as my daily driver over the past few years, from brands like Corsair, Asus ROG, Logitech, and Lofree. This one is by far and away the best keyboard I have ever tried. I do not write product reviews very often, but it feels so good to type on this that I just wanted an excuse to use it more. This is the only keyboard I have ever encountered that does not leave me wanting for more features. I use and develop software on both Mac and Windows PC machines, so having a built-in switch to toggle between these different platforms is a game changer. The option to connect it via 2.4GHz adapter, Bluetooth, and directly via USB-C cable makes it incredibly versatile. I really appreciate the Bluetooth connectivity in particular, as it is surprisingly low latency and makes it super easy to switch between up to three connected devices in roughly a second (which is very useful when working on multiple machines simultaneously). The ability to fully customize the keyboard on the web is another huge perk. I have found that the Keychron launcher website is fairly intuitive and works well, and I am very pleased that I do not have to download another piece of software in order to get the most out of this keyboard. Though you can only configure the settings via the web interface when the keyboard is connected via USB-C cable, the settings get flashed to the board's internal persistent storage, so all of your settings (such as remapped keys and custom RGB profiles) still work when in Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz mode. But maybe most importantly is that from a pure aesthetic and feel standpoint, it looks, feels, and sounds awesome. The RGB lighting is subtle enough to not be too distracting for a workplace but vivid enough to add a cool accent. It is also very usable with the RGB backlight turned off, as it is not needed for readability. And I cannot emphasize enough just how good the feel is. I would say that the magnetic switches on this board respond most comparable to linear (red) switches from other manufacturers (which are my personal favorite kind) but with slightly more resistance that makes accidentally triggering keys less frequent. I find that I genuinely make fewer typos on this board compared to some of the other products I have tried. Controlling the key actuation depth is a really cool bonus feature, but I honestly find the default setting to be perfect. If I could find anything negative to say about this keyboard, it would be that the battery life is only ok. While some of the other keyboards I have tried have batteries that can last for more than a full work week of use, I find this one drains fairly quickly. It's enough to get me through about two day's worth of work before I have to plug it back in, but given that it is still fully usable in wired mode, I honestly don't find this to be too big of a deal. Otherwise, the list of cons pretty much ends there. Simply put, for $140, this board is an incredible value. It takes a really special product for me to take the time and write out a review, but this board is just that good. EDIT: I initially had some reservations about the battery life on this keyboard. In day to day experience, however, that has never been an issue. I find that the board lasts for quite a long time, even compared to some of the other models I’ve used in the past. So yeah, add that to the list of things this board has going for it.

Came from a G915 TKL X since Logitech only makes products that last a year, and I'm very impressed after swapping to this. I have the wooden edge variant and the design is very clean. The keys feel great and have good texture. They come with spare keys that can be swapped out for either Windows or Mac layouts. I like that it uses the web browser app to adjust its performance instead needing to install bloatware. Although I seldom use anything that's not low profile keycaps, the magnetic switches that they use for this smooth and snappy, not too loud either, close to GX brown but a little louder. Overall I'm very impressed with Keychron, and I'm aiming for the K3 HE when it releases.

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.

A fantastic keyboard that excels for both typing and gaming. The latency is impressively low, even in wireless mode, which is how I use it most of the time. I purchased the special edition with wood accents, and it looks stunning on my desk. The magnetic switches are a huge upgrade over the mechanical keyboards I’ve used in recent years—so much so that it’s hard to go back. Another big positive is that you don't need to install software for customization, and as it is all done through a web-based app, aka no bloatware The only minor drawback is that the keys aren’t backlit, which could be a concern in dark rooms, though it hasn’t been an issue for me. Overall, I highly recommend this keyboard for its quality, performance, and premium feel—perfect for anyone looking to step up from a mid-range option.

Please avoid this keyboard at all costs! One of the worst keyboards I have ever used. Straight out of the box it seemed to work fine through the 2.4ghz connection wirelessly for literally a few moments, then for some reason no keybinds that you press will work. If you press anything on the keyboard it brings up some sort of different command on your PC and does not type at all. I thought okay maybe it does not work wirelessly so I tried plugging it in directly into my pc and sure thing, same problem. It wont work unless I plug the keyboard in and out a few times then finally the correct keybinds would be inputted in. No instructions came with the keyboard regarding troubleshooting or any firmware I need to install. Please stay away from this pile of steaming (You can guess). I looked it up on reddit and it seems as though this is a common problem with this keyboard.

The typing on this keyboard is so satisfying, comfortable, and totally worth the price compared to the most expensive keyboards. I only wished they had shine-through keycaps (or at least able to purchase them separately) or being able to at least sync it with Signal RGB. It's also a plus that it has 3 different ways to connect you PC (Bluetooth, USB Dongle, Wired). There are some reviews about connectivity issues but this is what I found out: - If your keyboard is inactive for 10+ minutes, the RGB turns off. Just press any key to turn it on again - If your keyboard is inactive for 30+ minutes, the keyboard goes to SLEEP MODE. In this case, press the SPACEBAR to turn it on. (not just any key)

Aesthetics: Absolutely beautiful keyboard. The wood accents are such a nice touch and really make this keyboard stand out. LEDs: I think all modern keyboards have good RGB lighting/effects, and this one is no exception. The only downside is that the keycaps are NOT shine-through 😭. Honestly, it's not the biggest deal. I turned off the LEDS and now the battery lasts forever. Also, if you hold 'fn +B', it lights up the number keys to indicate the battery percentage. Super cool). Switches: This one is subjective, of course. The default keys feel good overall, and I get compliments on the sound it makes. I even got one over a Discord call 😂. For me, the switches feel a bit hard to press, so I replaced them with the DAWN version of the Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Switch. I expected it to be quite a bit softer, but unfortunately, I barely noticed a difference. Please DO NOT waste your money on them. They're also hard to find (sold out almost everywhere). Connection: 2.4GHz and wired both work fine. I didn't notice any latency issues with wireless, the only way I've been using this keyboard. I'm also a huge gamer (FPS, RPGs, etc). Build/Size: Solid build overall. It has a nice and heavy weight to it (not good for portability). Key caps and switches are easily removable (comes with the tool). Software: I haven't used it much besides changing the travel distance of the magnetic switches. The only (minimal) downside is that the keyboard must be plugged in to update the configuration. Overall, I highly recommend this keyboard (even with the two issues I mentioned).

Absolutely love this keyboard. I was quite hesitant about spending this much on any keyboard, but I can honestly say, it's worth every penny. The keys have a great feedback without being loud and clacky. More of a soft thunk sound, like a gasket keyboard. It feels extremely solid, well made, high quality, and looks beautiful with the wood accents. The Windows keys were easy to swap out. Love that I can get replacement keys, switches, and that the keyboard is generally repairable. I use it in usb cord mode so I can wake my laptop from sleep mode (which I keep folded).. so I can't speak to the Bluetooth connectivity or 2.4 wireless modes, but I'd be shocked if there were any issues there. There's a ton of LED color options, but I just keep it on a low key setting - not into the gamer flashing rainbow swirls thing. But the LEDs are highly customizable, I think there are about 20 different modes, and the brightness and hue can be adjusted.

Amazing keyboard and extremely relaxing to type with, really does make you want to work more

Mo novio me recomendó este y tenía mucho razón, mi primer teclado de calidad

This keyboard is awesome. The hall effect switches feel smooth and responsive — perfect for both gaming and typing. The keys have a satisfying feel without being too loud, and the rapid trigger makes fast inputs feel effortless. It’s honestly changed how precise my key presses feel during games. I love how flexible the wireless options are. I can use it on Bluetooth with my laptop or switch to 2.4 GHz when I want zero lag for gaming. Setup was super easy and it stays connected without any weird dropouts. The build quality feels solid and lightweight, but not cheap. The layout is great — 75% is the perfect balance of compact and functional, and I don’t miss the numpad at all. Battery life has been fantastic so far and holds up longer than I expected. If you want a high-quality keyboard that feels great to type on, plays great in games, and gives you wireless freedom without compromising performance, this is definitely worth it. Highly recommend!

El sonido de las teclas es genial. Lo conecto a una Mac y también a una laptop. Es muy fácil de cambiar entre cada sistema operativo. Los led se programan muy fácil y la personalización es muy simple. A penas llevo unos días con el teclado, hasta ahora muy contento.

Absolutely awesome straight out the box. Don't forget the wrist rest though! Only downside: first model received I experienced key ghosting on several occasions. Replacement has been flawless.
