Keychron, a leader in premium mechanical keyboards, has unveiled the K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Custom Keyboard, blending innovative switch technology with a minimalist aesthetic. Recently recognized as a CES Innovation Awards® 2025 Honoree in the "Computer Peripherals & Accessories" category, the K2 HE highlights Keychron’s commitment to cutting-edge design and functionality.
At the heart of the K2 HE is its magnetic switch technology, a major leap from traditional mechanical designs. By replacing physical contacts with magnetic sensors, the keyboard allows precise measurement of actuation depth. This technology, combined with Gateron double-rail magnetic switches, ensures faster reactions for gamers and smoother typing for professionals. Adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger technology add a layer of customization, making the K2 HE ideal for gaming, programming, and everyday use.
Keychron has maintained its signature 75% layout while enhancing versatility. The K2 HE supports macOS, Windows, and Linux and offers multiple connectivity options, including 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and a wired mode. Its robust aluminium frame, paired with elegant rosewood siding, strikes a balance between durability and sophistication. The keyboard, which is available in light wood for the white Special Edition and dark wood for the black Special Edition, delivers a nature-inspired design.
For enthusiasts seeking personal touches, the keyboard offers customisable wood siding and engraving options. The OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps enhance durability and provide a tactile typing experience.
The K2 HE has a unique Analog Mode, offering controller-like precision by detecting keypress depth. This feature is perfect for applications like racing games and sports simulations, translating varying inputs into speed and intensity. The K2 HE also supports QMK firmware, allowing users to remap keys, adjust actuation points, and fine-tune magnetic switches for personalized shortcuts and macros.
The keyboard's enhanced stabilizers and EVA acoustic foam reduce vibrations and improve key feedback, making it quieter and smoother. Keychron’s Launcher web configurator adds convenience, enabling users to personalize their setup with 22 vibrant RGB backlight presets, programmable multi-action key commands, and adjustable sensitivity.
The Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Custom Keyboard is now available in Malaysia, priced at RM589 for the standard edition and RM629 for the special edition.
