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.

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.

Awesome keyboard, switches & keycap combo sound great, stabilizers are wonderful, the spacebar comes with foam inserts already installed, coming from an 80% only losing 2 keys for around 2.5 inches of gained mouse space is well worth it! Overall a very well built and quality feeling keyboard, however the bottom base is made of plastic with aluminum north & south edges and a wooden east and west edges. The software is nice, however I am disappointed in macro configurability as compared to Razer Synapse Legacy the lack of key spamming/auto clicking, togglable macros, and near instant macros -- however the software not requiring to be constantly run in the background is a bonus. The keycap profile feels like it was designed for optimal typing as every key is angled. Battery life is solid, I charge it every 1-2 weeks (FN + B to view battery %), I have had no issues with the 1000Hz polling, though after a while the keyboard disconnects (configurable in software) and just needs to the connection modes toggled to turn back on. I don't use the RGB on any keyboard but the LEDs are bright with great software configurability, to note they use north facing RBG. The layers is a feature I didn't expect to use so much, but they are super useful for media control, desktop navigation, volume control, as well as the Mac separate mode! The Hall Effect switches are super nice to have when gaming, and surprisingly typing since you don't need to press as hard or as far! To note they have quite a lot of resistance, but they can be hot swapped with a lower actuation force Gateron TMR switch if that's what you like. The upgrades I would consider would be an 8k polling mode for gaming, metal toggle buttons, bigger battery, a FULL metal case, the silicone layer to be solid, and an option for togglable macros/faster macros, however these upgrades would probably add $100+ to the price so I can see why they weren't added. Would also be cool if they let you pick from multiple types of wood (Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Mahogany, etc).

This is my second Keychron keyboard. I loved my first but was really curious about the magnetic switches. I'm happy to report that they're awesome and SO customizable via Keychron's software that is actually good. Only con about the software is that the keyboard must be plugged in but as an engineer, this makes sense for a lot of reasons such as firmware updates, etc. Key stroke is smooth and predictable. Able to be customized greatly due to the position sensitive nature of the keys. My wife commented on how much more quiet it was which is no small feat. Product is BEEFY, built like a tank and honestly gorgeous. Get yourself a nice wooden wrist rest and be the envy of the office. My biggest gripe is that the keys themselves aren't backlit. I think this is a limitation of the key switches. The backlighting is sufficient but can be a little tough to make out the keys when it's dark. That said... I don't really look at my keyboard when typing so not that big of a deal.

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.

This is my daily keyboard for work. It is excitement for office use in that it isn't particularly loud, and being a TKL board, won't take up much space. The typing feel is great, though obviously that's a subjective statement. Key presses are somewhat firm and linear. You can easily adjust the RGB and backlight with a fair amount of choices. The wood end caps are a nice touch and lend to making this an excellent choice and value.

I'm by no means an expert with mechanical keyboards. The only other mechanical keyboard I used was years ago. I've used various keyboards and thought all of them were fine as long as they worked. Boy was I wrong. This one feels good to use. It's soothing to touch, to press, to hear. I can feel my blood pressure coming down. The only complaint I have is that backlight is really more for show and isn't that helpful for finding the keys in the dark. Instead of going to therapy, use that money to buy this keyboard instead. Edit: After using this for close to a year, I'm going to knock off a star. It's still pretty solid, but the keys started to not register as well when using it on my lap. Also, the usb-dongle doesn't seem to be as-consistent as it used to be. Nothing had changed from the initial setup, so not sure if it's just a worn hardware or a software glitch. Still, when i am using it on a hard surface and the usb dongle isn't glitching, it's a fantastic typing experience. maybe not as reliable as i'd like, and a little more expensive than i'd think it's worth, but still not a bad purchase overall.

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!

I bought this for myself. Loved it. Made the mistake of letting my partner try it. Never got it back. Had to buy another.

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!

Really good keyboard, premium built and I am genuinely happy with this choice almost every time I use it. It’s been over 6 months and still happy 💪
