Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Hall Effect Custom Keyboard 75% Layout

I’ve tried possibly hundred of keyboards over the years and this is the best I’ve found - good value, relatively quiet, features you need and none you don’t. Excellent quality and very robust build. Should last a long time. I use it on Mac, Windows , and Linux and comes with key caps you can swap out for OS specific keys if that’s important to you. Has every feature I need including long battery life, attractive design, Bluetooth, 2.4ghz wireless, and direct wired, plus full and easycontrol over lighting allowing no crazy distracting flashing lights if you don’t want them. Keys have a high-end feel and are great for a trained typist. Battery lasts longer than I’ve been able to test. Only caveat is I wouldn’t recommend this keyboard for travel use unless you plan to put it in checked baggage because it’s quite heavy due to its very robust build with metal case.

This is one of the best keyboards that I have ever owned. It is quick and responsive, with a lot of extra customization options thanks to the Keychron software. I have the white version with the wood accents, and it is by far the classiest keyboard that I have ever owned. I prefer to use the board with the RGB set to white as any other color does not seem to fit the aesthetic of the board. On that note the keyboard does not have vibrant RGB, so if that is something you are looking for then I would look at other boards. When I tested the 2.4 G connection of the keyboard it worked perfectly with no lag, however I primarily use the board wired so I am not sure how good the battery life is, or how well the keyboard is at waking from sleep. I have used the software to customize the keyboard a bit and I love that it is web-based software and therefore does not require me to download any software to my PC. Being a hall effect keyboard means that you can set the actuation points for all of the keys individually and set up rapid trigger for keys that you want to press very quickly. This is very useful depending on what game you are playing. I personally set all the keys to 1.0 so the keyboard would be consistent and snappy for both gaming and typing. Lastly, the keyboard is built extremely well and offers a very satisfying typing experience. I can easily recommend this board to anyone wanting a classy keyboard, or someone who wants to try out hall effect without breaking the bank.

I send it to my wife for her birthday and she loves it a lot and use it for work on a daily basis. It has mechanical typing feeling yet not making too much noise

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a gamer. I bought this keyboard because I use a keyboard a lot for work and was looking for a great typing experience. And I got it in spades. What a joy — from the perfect thwock sound to the smoothness of the keys, it’s a wonderful typing experience that actually makes me want to type more. The fun lighting options are a great bonus. If you’re just looking for a great keyboarding experience, look no further. Worth the price and more!

DO NOT BUY. I have been a Keychron customer for 4 years. I bought their low profile, alice layout, and their mouse. Their keyboard has been horrible each and every single time I have bough them, but this is the worse. If you are buying for out of the box plug and play, this is MID at best. There are way better options now from other keyboard like nuphy or Epomaker that offer Hall Effect Switches that are way better and cheaper. Let me talk about the design. You get a usb receiver but no where on the keyboard to put it. If you think this keyboard sounds good, you are horribly wrong. This keyboard is clacky like there just isn't enough foam or dampeners that can muffle the sound to sound any better. Now lets talk about modding this keyboard. Remember when I said the stabilizers are horrible? Guess what you can't change them, they just wont fit. The switches? Same thing. If you buy the switches from their company website or lemokey in the US prepare to be charged 55 dollars for 110 switches (35 dollars before tax). Careful you might be asked to pay for the delivery because of the tariff. There is no other option, at the time of this review, that are compatible with this device. As a long time keychron fan this keyboard has made me stop buying from a company that market themselves as a supercar, but when you buy the damn product it just a Nissan Altima. This company was once great for beginners, great for modding, consumer friendly has turn into Apple when it comes to customization and cost, but just without Apples great design or engineering.

I have a a K4 HE and love it. The lime switches are really nice. I wish Keychron would support more switches and dual mag-mech like others (using 3rd party ones too), but the limes are great. The Gateron double-rails, not so much. Just not the same feel and sound. I needed a smaller keyboard for typical use and really wanted a 75% K4 HE with limes, but couldn't find one. I'll stick with the K2 HE until they come out with one. A bit disappointed with this new K2 HE compared.

Phenomenal keyboard. I’ve had a wooting 60he, 80he, Logitech g915 tkl x, Asus azoth, and razer falchion and huntsman. It definitely feels better than both of the wootings and I had both of those modded to the brim. If I had to describe it, it would be a soft typing experience. The second best feeling and sounding keyboard I had was the Azoth but that was not magnetic. The build quality on this is also fantastic. It has a nice weight to it and the wood really makes it feel and look premium. The battery is great as well, it’ll last me 1-2 weeks with low brightness depending on how much I’m playing. What I don’t like about it is how horrendous it is to update the keyboard and the web based software is terrible. It’s actually horrible. Nothing saves and it’s very glitchy. Hope you can save your settings to it and never touch the software ever again. This keyboard should be $200-$250 but it’s half the price.

Out of the box, it feels great and types well! It feels premium and has a nice weight to it. Some cons are the bluetooth/wifi connection. I am using it with a mac mini and if you don’t use the keyboard for a little bit (~30 min) the bluetooth/wifi connection will lose connection and you have to re-connect it. The switches come pre-lubbed and have a nice thunk to it, but over time it started to have a more clicky sound. I’m sure if you lubbed it yourself/change out the switches they will sound and maintain its sound and feel.

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

Wow, this one is a looker. Milky white with wooden sides looks phenomenal. However the keyboard is the real deal here. It works flawlessly, smooth like butter, very easy to customise via web interface, and most importantly it is not noisy like other mechanical gaming keyboards. I make significantly lesser number of typos thanks to springy HE keys. It’s just perfect. I replaced Asus ROG Scope ii 96 with this. Asus was phenomenal too but this one is noticeably better. Fewer typos and not to mention the noise it makes it significantly lower and the sound is almost creamy. Asus used to get very dirty. The material on Keychron is just better. I also have Nuphy Halo 75 v2 which I use for daily work and Keychron for gaming and side projects. Honestly, the Nuphy sounds slightly better but is prone to a lot more typos. I now plan on using Keychron for both work and gaming as it is slightly more reliable and I make significantly lesser number of typos. Nuphy has softer linear switches that require lesser force but that leads to typos. Keychron is overall better quality and has a significantly better RGB lighting with better and easier to follow user interface.

Looks as gorgeous as in the pictures, feels buttery smooth to type on, and sounds equally buttery thanks to the factory lube. I've never had a keyboard that feels so responsive, perhaps thanks to rapid trigger. The software is quite good, it's nice to be able to adjust the actuation point and rapid trigger (or turn RT off entirely) on each key separately! As long as you're comfortable with the compact layout (there are no gaps between any of the keys) and don't set the sensitivity so high that you're making constant typos, this keyboard is immaculate. It is equally equipped for gaming and office work. Keychron's wrist rest for this keyboard is a must have! Typing has never been so comfortable.

UPDATE (10 months later): This is a quick review update after using it for 10 months. The 2.4 GHz connection suddenly stopped working and it won't connect to this lovely keyboard. Now, I have to either connect via bluetooth or through usb cord connecting it to my pc. I tried everything from factory reset, to updating firmware, and other ways I found online to solve the issue but NONE OF THEM WORKED. I emailed the customer support of keychron and waiting for their response. So, this is something to think about if you are planning to purchase this very expensive keyboard. They might have quality control issue. I'll update my review when this issue got resolved. I'd still give it a 3 star because the rest of the keyboard is amazing. ----- As someone who plays games casually and work full time using my computer, this keyboard hits the sweet spot - almost perfect except from battery life The clicks sound music to my ears and feels amazing when typing. The rgb lighting is cool as well and the keys are easily replaceable for customization The only downside I noticed is that the battery life wasn’t very excellent - it only last me for a couple of days and I need to charge it again. I find myself charging it more frequently than my mx master keys so something to keep in mind if you want to purchase this.

This keyboard is great as a wireless gaming keyboard. The battery last easily 2 weeks in normal use with led on. It’s easily configurable and i can’t feel any latency using the dongle. One drawback is the fact that it either require a press on the spacebar or clicks on other buttons multiple times when the keyboard is in a deeper sleep state.
