Forever change your gaming and typing experience with Keychron K2 HE, which brings a top-notch typing experience by merging the best of traditional mechanical keyboards with the advanced benefits of magnetic tech — in a clean, minimalistic design with natural rosewood accents. 

A fully customizable 75% layout wireless hall effect keyboard with magnetic switches — a breakthrough in switch technology, which—instead of physical contacts—uses magnetic sensors to measure actuation depth, putting you in total control over the response of each and every switch. 

Adjust actuation points using the Keychron Web Configurator to make every single keypress feel just right and enable dynamic rapid triggering for a gaming performance that will make you perform so well, you’ll feel like you’re cheating.

Magnetic switches are the new standard, and with K2 HE you’ll be at the forefront, thanks to top-of-the-line double-rail magnetic switches by Gateron. 

As opposed to traditional mechanical switches, magnetic switches use pressure-sensitive hall effect sensors to detect keypresses—which means you get to set the depth at which you want each keypress to engage, with 0.1 millimeter precision

Keychron K2 HE comes with pre-lubed Gateron double-rail magnetic switches for an ultra-stable and ultra-responsive typing experience with an industry leading, lightning-fast response time, and precise control over the way your keyboard feels and responds. Jump into action with unmatched smoothness and stability.

Not every key is used the same way. So why have them engage at the same depth?

With K2 HE, you get to customize each key individually with 0.1 mm precision and set actuation points in a wide range from 0.2 to 3.8 mm. *For the best experience, we recommend setting the actuation points in the middle range. 

Assign a shallow keypress for keys that require instant action, and a deeper keypress for keys that you prefer to engage with more deliberate effort and prevent accidental touches — for a competitive edge in video games, and a massive improvement in typing feedback

Fine tune the perfect fit for maximum performance and be in control.

In gaming, every millisecond matters. That’s why K2 HE’s magnetic switches let you go beyond fixed actuation points

Activate and deactivate keys based on travel distance to gain a consistent edge over your opponents with dynamic rapid trigger technology — which can reset your key the instant you release it with 0.1 mm precision. 

Repetitive keystrokes in quick succession are now as fast as physically possible. A total game-changer in games and applications where you need fast repetitive actions.

Thanks to Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS), you can now assign up to 4 actions to each key, with each action depending on the depth of your keypress. 

E.g. a light press to move your character forward, and a deeper press to make them run. Plus, releasing the key from the bottom enables 2 additional actions/commands for even more control

Improve control, speed up actions, and get an advantage in games. The opportunities are endless.

Connect multiple devices of any operating system with ease via USB (wired), Bluetooth, or 2.4G for a seamless experience whether you’re using Windows, Mac OS, Linux, your smartphone, or a tablet

Get your game on and enjoy extreme performance with an ultra-fast polling rate of 1000 Hz in both wired and wireless 2.4G modes

Pair up to 3 devices using Bluetooth 5.1 and switch between them with a simple Fn+1/2/3 button combination.

No more risky moments when pressing two opposing keypresses at the same time! With Last Keystroke Prioritization (LKP) enabled, you can now seamlessly change directions without having to release the previous key

LKP will prioritize the most recent key input when two opposing directions are detected, so that your character keeps moving in the direction of the last-pressed keystroke instead of coming to a standstill. 

This also means you no longer have to perfectly time the release of the previous key to execute the counter-strafe. Landing accurate hits in FPS games like CS2 and Valorant is now fast, accurate, and effortless.

Stand out from the crowd with K2 HE’s thoughtfully curated, clean and minimalistic design. Featuring natural rosewood accents, it’s designed to be seen, and ready to take your workspace to the next level.

Get even more out of your K2 HE using the Keychron Web Configurator

Connect your K2 HE by cable, open the Keychron web app in any browser—on any OS—, and intuitively remap any key on the keyboard. 

Create and save multiple custom profiles, each with their own set actuation points, toggle dynamic rapid triggering,, create macro commands, and choose RGB patterns — then upload the settings directly to your keyboard

The web configurator also allows you to upgrade the K2 HE’s firmware straight from your browser. Easy, convenient, and fast.

With pre-lubed switches, 3.5 mm thick EVA acoustic foam, and a silicone pad inside the keyboard, Keychron K2 HE produces an extremely satisfying soft and thocky typing sound, making your typing sessions all the more enjoyable.

No one likes oily-looking keycaps with faded legends. 

The K2 HE’s double-shot PBT Keycaps (shine-through cherry profile on the standard version, non-shine-through OSA for the special editions) are built to take a beating and are resistant to wear and tear. They’ll maintain their color, texture, and legends for years, ensuring a typing experience that remains consistently pleasant to the touch.

Nobody likes wobbly keys. Especially when precision matters. That’s why the K2 HE boasts PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers—to provide a significantly more smooth and stable typing experience with less wobble on the big keys (space bar, shift, enter, and backspace). 

Plus, thanks to its screw-in design, it’s easy to change and upgrade the stabilizers whenever you need.

Take your keyboard to the next level with RGB backlight—with a north-facing orientation for superior RGB shine-through. 

Choose between 22 backlight modes, and tune the hue, saturation, brightness, and effect speeds right inside the Keychron Launcher web app

Match your style and create an atmosphere that’s uniquely yours.
