Keychron launches award-winning K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Custom Keyboard for direct sales following $1M+ Kickstarter success

Keychron, a leading manufacturer of peripherals compatible with Mac, Windows, and Android, launched direct sales of the Keychron K2 HE Wireless Magnetic Custom Keyboard. This high-performance mechanical keyboard combines the best of traditional mechanical technology with the advanced benefits of magnetic switches in a minimalistic design accented by natural rosewood. Following a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $1M USD, the K2 HE is now available for direct purchase on Keychron's website, starting at $130 USD.

Ahead of CES 2025, a leading technology event happening 7th - 10th January in Las Vegas, Keychron K2 HE has been named a CES Innovation Awards 2025 Honoree  within "Computer Peripherals & Accessories." The annual competition honours outstanding design and engineering in 33 consumer technology product categories. This fully customisable 75% layout wireless keyboard represents a breakthrough in switch technology, replacing physical contacts with magnetic sensors that measure actuation depth, giving users total control over the response of each and every switch. Designed with Gateron double-rail magnetic switches, adjustable actuation points, and rapid trigger technology, the K2 HE is an adaptable tool for gaming, programming, and everyday typing.

"The K2 HE represents Keychron's dedication to bringing sophisticated, user-centered technology to the keyboard community," said Paul Tan, COO of Keychron. "We wanted to elevate the popular K2 model, and the K2 HE's magnetic switch design, complete with customisable actuation and dynamic rapid triggers, achieves exactly that."

With multiple connectivity options, including 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1, and wired modes, the K2 HE provides versatile functionality across macOS, Windows, and Linux platforms. This keyboard is built to last, featuring a durable aluminium frame with natural rosewood accents—light wood for the white Special Edition and dark wood for the black Special Edition—bringing a touch of nature-inspired elegance to the design. Both colourways feature OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps, delivering a satisfying tactile feel and timeless style.

For those seeking an even more personalized touch, Keychron offers customisable wood siding in light and dark finishes, allowing users to engrave a design or text of their choice. "Our goal was to create a keyboard that offers precision and flexibility, allowing users to adapt each keystroke to their preferences," continued Tan.

The K2 HE also includes Keychron's exclusive Launcher web configurator, enabling users to adjust settings like RGB backlighting, sensitivity, and multi-action key commands for a tailored experience. With 22 RGB backlight settings and fine-tunable options, users can create a setup that reflects both their style and functional needs.
