Keychron K2 HE Wireless Custom Mechanical Keyboard - Hall Effect Magnetic Switch, Rapid Trigger, 2.4G/Bluetooth 5.2/USB-C, QMK/VIA, Aluminium & Wood, RGB Backlit(Mac/Windows/Linux), US Layout

Amazing keyboard and extremely relaxing to type with, really does make you want to work more

Really nice solid keyboard with good features and crisp clean appearance

By far the nicest keyboard I have used, and I have built a fair few. It is honestly impressive how good keyboards are out-of-box now. Gone are the days of needing to lube every switch and stab. The main issue I found was the wireless would sometimes not wake up after going to sleep. But this is apparently fixed in the latest firmware. (I just use wired now). The enter key would also click sometimes, which I fixed with dialectic grease. If it wasn't for this and the wireless sleep issue, it would be a 5 star.

Where do I even start... I so wanted to like this keyboard but I hate almost everything about it. The 'backlight' I thought would illuminate the keys so I could see what letter I want to press in a dark environment - it does the opposite, it illuminates everything *except* the letters, making it utterly useless to me. The layout is US and cannot be converted to UK, the 'spare' keys they provide do not allow for this. They do not provide a different colour 'F' or 'J' key that would make it easier for learning touch-typing or seeing where they are in a dark environment. The keyboard is so small it's the same size as my laptops (which quite frankly is much easier to type on) and yet it feels even more cramped. Whilst the build quality of this keyboard is good, it feels solid (thus the 2 stars) there is literally nothing about this keyboard that I find convenient, or helpful, or well spaced, or useful. I feel I need to find another company who actually understand what people actually want in a keyboard. I will be returning this for a refund and start looking elsewhere

nice key board just not right for me too condensed

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!

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.

First H.E keyboard, so far so good. Typing on it feels smooth, and pleasant to the ears. So glad to have bought this. I now can't go back to keyboards that don’t produce this deep rich thocky sound with every key-press, nevermind membrane keyboards (I’m honestly surprised that membrane keyboards still exist). The deep thocky sound with every keystroke makes it sound so good it'll make you wish you'd bought this sooner (I know I do). I’ve been using brown mechanical switches (with a brief stint with linear keys) this whole time, not knowing there were other switch types than just the well-known reds, blues and browns; let alone H.E keyboards - now I can stop searching. Once you hear the deep 'thock' of this keyboard as you type, other keyboards won't sound as good - especially membrane and linear keyboards - and if you do try other keyboards, you'd be wishing you were using this instead (I know I do. I LOVE the sound this keyboard makes when typing). The only downside is that the battery drains really fast, so that's why I rated it 4 stars instead of 5. If the battery life was longer, it would have been a perfect 5. I wish there was also a way to turn off the backlight - maybe that would prolong the battery a bit between charges - as I don't need it (can touch type, so typing in low light is not a problem for me).

I’m very happy with the Keychron H2 HE. The Hall Effect switches feel incredibly smooth and precise, making it great for both gaming and typing. Adjustable actuation works perfectly and really makes a difference in fast-paced games. Build quality is solid, the keyboard feels sturdy, and the typing experience is consistent and comfortable. Latency is excellent, and everything feels responsive and accurate. Overall, it’s an outstanding keyboard if you’re looking for Hall Effect technology, customization, and top-tier performance. Highly recommended.
