Keychron K2 HE Rapid Trigger Wireless Magnetic Custom Keyboard

This is one of the best keyboards that I have ever owned. It is quick and responsive, with a lot of extra customization options thanks to the Keychron software. I have the white version with the wood accents, and it is by far the classiest keyboard that I have ever owned. I prefer to use the board with the RGB set to white as any other color does not seem to fit the aesthetic of the board. On that note the keyboard does not have vibrant RGB, so if that is something you are looking for then I would look at other boards. When I tested the 2.4 G connection of the keyboard it worked perfectly with no lag, however I primarily use the board wired so I am not sure how good the battery life is, or how well the keyboard is at waking from sleep. I have used the software to customize the keyboard a bit and I love that it is web-based software and therefore does not require me to download any software to my PC. Being a hall effect keyboard means that you can set the actuation points for all of the keys individually and set up rapid trigger for keys that you want to press very quickly. This is very useful depending on what game you are playing. I personally set all the keys to 1.0 so the keyboard would be consistent and snappy for both gaming and typing. Lastly, the keyboard is built extremely well and offers a very satisfying typing experience. I can easily recommend this board to anyone wanting a classy keyboard, or someone who wants to try out hall effect without breaking the bank.

The rapid switches are really sweet! I saw really good improvements on osu!mania and Quaver! I highly recommend this keyboard for any rhythm games, it feels like your pressing on the beat and its comfortable. The LED is also really good and Customizable! Highly recommend it!

I admit I bought this 75% version because I didn’t want to wait for Keychron shipping to get the 65% version. Well I don’t regret it. Not only was able to set the actuation point of the F row to max to avoid accidental keypresses, I was also able to remap the entire row to macros that make life a lot more simple thanks to VIA/Keychron Launcher. My first ‘good’ mechanical keyboard and it is well worth it. I needed something quiet for the office and meetings/phone/video calls and this delivered without sacrificing anything. I do miss the bump of tactile switches but these linear ones sound and feel so nice that I will gladly look past this and the dismal options you have when swapping out switches (Gateron double rail HE switches ONLY). The white version so nice on my desk that I’ve received compliments on both aesthetics and on how comfy it looks. VIA/Launcher is a lifesaver because you don’t need to download or install anything — no contacting IT for them to turn around and say “no sorry you cant install keyboard software on work computers 🤓”.

Phenomenal keyboard. I’ve had a wooting 60he, 80he, Logitech g915 tkl x, Asus azoth, and razer falchion and huntsman. It definitely feels better than both of the wootings and I had both of those modded to the brim. If I had to describe it, it would be a soft typing experience. The second best feeling and sounding keyboard I had was the Azoth but that was not magnetic. The build quality on this is also fantastic. It has a nice weight to it and the wood really makes it feel and look premium. The battery is great as well, it’ll last me 1-2 weeks with low brightness depending on how much I’m playing. What I don’t like about it is how horrendous it is to update the keyboard and the web based software is terrible. It’s actually horrible. Nothing saves and it’s very glitchy. Hope you can save your settings to it and never touch the software ever again. This keyboard should be $200-$250 but it’s half the price.

Please avoid this keyboard at all costs! One of the worst keyboards I have ever used. Straight out of the box it seemed to work fine through the 2.4ghz connection wirelessly for literally a few moments, then for some reason no keybinds that you press will work. If you press anything on the keyboard it brings up some sort of different command on your PC and does not type at all. I thought okay maybe it does not work wirelessly so I tried plugging it in directly into my pc and sure thing, same problem. It wont work unless I plug the keyboard in and out a few times then finally the correct keybinds would be inputted in. No instructions came with the keyboard regarding troubleshooting or any firmware I need to install. Please stay away from this pile of steaming (You can guess). I looked it up on reddit and it seems as though this is a common problem with this keyboard.

Out of the box, it feels great and types well! It feels premium and has a nice weight to it. Some cons are the bluetooth/wifi connection. I am using it with a mac mini and if you don’t use the keyboard for a little bit (~30 min) the bluetooth/wifi connection will lose connection and you have to re-connect it. The switches come pre-lubbed and have a nice thunk to it, but over time it started to have a more clicky sound. I’m sure if you lubbed it yourself/change out the switches they will sound and maintain its sound and feel.

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a gamer. I bought this keyboard because I use a keyboard a lot for work and was looking for a great typing experience. And I got it in spades. What a joy — from the perfect thwock sound to the smoothness of the keys, it’s a wonderful typing experience that actually makes me want to type more. The fun lighting options are a great bonus. If you’re just looking for a great keyboarding experience, look no further. Worth the price and more!

I like the keyboard but the fact that it won’t function in wired USB mode when the battery is dead is a major issue

Mo novio me recomendó este y tenía mucho razón, mi primer teclado de calidad

Wow, this one is a looker. Milky white with wooden sides looks phenomenal. However the keyboard is the real deal here. It works flawlessly, smooth like butter, very easy to customise via web interface, and most importantly it is not noisy like other mechanical gaming keyboards. I make significantly lesser number of typos thanks to springy HE keys. It’s just perfect. I replaced Asus ROG Scope ii 96 with this. Asus was phenomenal too but this one is noticeably better. Fewer typos and not to mention the noise it makes it significantly lower and the sound is almost creamy. Asus used to get very dirty. The material on Keychron is just better. I also have Nuphy Halo 75 v2 which I use for daily work and Keychron for gaming and side projects. Honestly, the Nuphy sounds slightly better but is prone to a lot more typos. I now plan on using Keychron for both work and gaming as it is slightly more reliable and I make significantly lesser number of typos. Nuphy has softer linear switches that require lesser force but that leads to typos. Keychron is overall better quality and has a significantly better RGB lighting with better and easier to follow user interface.

Looks as gorgeous as in the pictures, feels buttery smooth to type on, and sounds equally buttery thanks to the factory lube. I've never had a keyboard that feels so responsive, perhaps thanks to rapid trigger. The software is quite good, it's nice to be able to adjust the actuation point and rapid trigger (or turn RT off entirely) on each key separately! As long as you're comfortable with the compact layout (there are no gaps between any of the keys) and don't set the sensitivity so high that you're making constant typos, this keyboard is immaculate. It is equally equipped for gaming and office work. Keychron's wrist rest for this keyboard is a must have! Typing has never been so comfortable.

UPDATE (10 months later): This is a quick review update after using it for 10 months. The 2.4 GHz connection suddenly stopped working and it won't connect to this lovely keyboard. Now, I have to either connect via bluetooth or through usb cord connecting it to my pc. I tried everything from factory reset, to updating firmware, and other ways I found online to solve the issue but NONE OF THEM WORKED. I emailed the customer support of keychron and waiting for their response. So, this is something to think about if you are planning to purchase this very expensive keyboard. They might have quality control issue. I'll update my review when this issue got resolved. I'd still give it a 3 star because the rest of the keyboard is amazing. ----- As someone who plays games casually and work full time using my computer, this keyboard hits the sweet spot - almost perfect except from battery life The clicks sound music to my ears and feels amazing when typing. The rgb lighting is cool as well and the keys are easily replaceable for customization The only downside I noticed is that the battery life wasn’t very excellent - it only last me for a couple of days and I need to charge it again. I find myself charging it more frequently than my mx master keys so something to keep in mind if you want to purchase this.

Looks great, sounds great, and works great. Responsive and tactile like a mechanical keyboard should be, but still quiet. Love it.
