Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard

This is a pre-order product, and we plan to start shipping in late October or early November.

A fully customizable 75% layout wireless 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. 

Standard Version

The Standard Version features Cherry profile double-shot shine-through PBT keycaps and aluminum frames.

Choose the keycaps, switches, and more accessories for your K2 HE.

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. 

Adjustable Actuation Point

Customize each key with precision, adjusting actuation points from 0.2 to 3.8 mm with 0.1 mm sensitivity. Set shallow keypresses for instant actions and deeper ones for deliberate engagement, minimizing accidental touches and giving you an edge in both gaming and typing.

Last Keystroke Prioritization (LKP) & Snap Click

LKP allows seamless directional changes by prioritizing the last key pressed, ensuring smoother gameplay in titles like Valorant. With Snap Click, deeper keypresses take precedence when two keys are hit at once, automatically resetting shallower presses.

Together, these features make counter-strafing effortless, giving you the accuracy and speed needed for high-level FPS play.

*They are disabled by default, but you can easily enable them in our Launcher web app when needed.

Dynamic Rapid Trigger

Activate or deactivate keys based on how far they travel, not predefined points. This means immediate key reactions—press to activate, release to reset—allowing for faster, more precise keystrokes. In rapid gameplay, this translates to executing complex actions in real-time without delay, giving you a serious advantage during fast-paced sequences.

One Key. Multiple Actions

Thanks to Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS), you can now assign up to 4 distinct actions per key based on press depth. A light press moves your character, a deeper press makes them run, and releasing the key enables additional commands. This layered control lets you execute multiple moves with ease, streamlining gameplay while enhancing control and speed, making your reactions quicker and more precise.

Analog Mode

Experience the power of Analog Mode on your K2 HE, bringing game controller-like precision to your keyboard. This mode enables variable inputs instead of the usual on/off signals, letting you achieve more fluid and dynamic control.
With each keypress, the K2 HE detects how far you press, translating it into different speeds and intensities. Enjoy nuanced control and heightened responsiveness in racing games, sports simulations, and more.

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 256K flash and QMK open-source firmware to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box in Type-C wired mode and 2.4 GHz mode, which greatly helps when competitively gaming.

Suitable for All Devices

Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the K2 HE comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.

Double-shot PBT Keycaps

The PBT keycaps (shine-through cherry profile on the standard version, non-shine-through OSA profile for the special editions) will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

Hot-swappable

Unlike mechanical switches, which depend on physical contact, Hall Effect magnetic switches use magnets to detect key presses. It is effortless to swap out the switch with compatible Hall Effect magnetic switches.

*The K2 HE is compatible with the double-rail magnetic switches sold on the Keychron website only.
