Keychron K2 HE: Next-Level Typing Experience

Following a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $1 million USD, the Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard arrives in the UK priced from £137. The K2 HE sets a new standard in mechanical keyboards with Gateron double-rail magnetic switches featuring adjustable actuation points and dynamic rapid triggers, delivering unrivalled precision and responsiveness.

Offering 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and wired connectivity, the K2 HE seamlessly integrates with macOS, Windows, and Linux devices. The keyboard is enclosed in a durable aluminium frame with natural rosewood accents—available in a white Special Edition with light wood or a black Special Edition with dark wood. Each keyboard includes OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps designed for durability and optimal tactile response.

Paul Tan, COO of Keychron, stated, “The K2 HE represents Keychron’s dedication to bringing sophisticated, user-centered technology to the keyboard community. We wanted to elevate the popular K2 model, and the K2 HE’s magnetic switch design achieves exactly that.”

Users can further tailor their experience using Keychron’s Launcher web configurator, with extensive RGB backlighting customisation and multi-action key commands.

Keychron K3 Max: Ultra-Slim and Highly Customisable

The Keychron K3 Max QMK/VIA Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard, priced from £103, introduces impressive customisation options in a sleek, ultra-slim form factor. Featuring innovative Gateron low-profile MX 2.0 switches that are 31% thinner than traditional switches, the K3 Max offers hot-swappable capabilities without soldering, perfect for quick customisation.

Powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32F402 MCU with 256KB Flash, the K3 Max delivers a reliable 1000 Hz polling rate, ensuring responsive performance in wired or 2.4 GHz modes. Acoustic foam inserts and upgraded stabilisers guarantee silent, comfortable keystrokes, while double-shot PBT keycaps maintain durability and consistent typing feel.

“With the K3 Max, we’re pushing the boundaries of what a low-profile wireless mechanical keyboard can achieve, blending versatility and innovation to meet the demands of both professionals and gamers,” said Tan.

Both keyboards feature more than 22 RGB lighting effects with adjustable typing angles for ergonomic support.
