Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Hall Effect Switches
With the first invented dual-rail structure, and the special pre-lubed, these switches ensure unparalleled stability and smoothness like never before.
Installed with an optimal magnetic sensor with a sensitivity of only 0.1 mm, it offers more precious feedback. You can customize actuation points and assign multiple actions to a single key based on the travel depth you personalized, enhancing gameplay and providing a customized typing sensation.
Adjustable Actuation Point
Customize each key with ultra-precise 0.1 mm sensitivity and adjustable actuation points ranging from 0.2 to 3.8 mm. Setting the actuation point to 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm shortens the trigger and increases sensitivity. The reset occurs once you release the key, ensuring a faster response.
Dynamic Rapid Trigger
Activate or deactivate keys based on travel distance rather than fixed points. They activate precisely upon pressing and deactivate upon letting go, allowing for immediate repetition of keystrokes in mod-motion. This enables you to execute a chain of actions in quick succession during gameplay.
Multiple Actions, One Keystroke
Assign four actions to a single key baed on the depth of your press. For example, lightly press a key to walk forward in a game, and press deeper to run. Additionally, releasing the key also supports two-stage settings. This allows for smoother, personalized combinations that can give you an edge in competitive gaming.
Analog Mode
Experience the power of Analog Mode on your Q2 HE, bringing game controller-like precision to your keyboard. This mode enables variable inputs instead of the usual on/off signals, letting you achieve more fluid and dynamic control.
With each keypress, Q2 HE detects how far you press, translating it into different speeds and intensities. Enjoy nuanced control and heightened responsiveness in racing games, sports simulations, and more.
Program with QMK & Launcher.
The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. Now you can easily customize each key with the Keychron Launcher web app. With the Keychron Launcher web app, you can effortlessly remap keys, adjust actuation points, set the magnetic switches, create personalized macro commands, shortcuts, and key combinations for each key.
* Please use the latest version of Chrome / Opera / Edge browser to open the Launcher and connect the keyboard to your device via wired mode.

2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection
Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the Q2 HE's 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the Q2 HE via Bluetooth 5.2 to three devices.
A Piece Of Metal Art
The entire metal body is crafted from 6063 aluminum, a material known for its increased durability, stability, and premium feel. Not only is this aluminum more resistant to physical damage, wear, and tear, but it is also environmentally friendly and recyclable. These qualities ensure both aesthetic appeal and a commitment to sustainability.
Customize Every Part
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be able to assemble easily. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component as you wish.
Double-Gasket Design
Silicone pads between the top and bottom cases reduce acoustic resonance, maintaining gasket flexibility and enhancing typing sound. The keyboard's bottom features acoustic foam, PET film, and Latex, improving sound quality while providing a more comfortable typing experience.
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 256K flash and QMK open-source firmware to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box in Type-C wired mode and 2.4 GHz mode, which greatly helps when competitively gaming.
Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q2 HE comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps
It has a similar height to that of the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
Hot-swappable
Unlike mechanical switches, which depend on physical contact, Hall Effect magnetic switches use magnets to detect key presses. It is effortless to swap out the switch with compatible Hall Effect magnetic switches.
*The Q2 HE is compatible with the magnetic switches sold on the Keychron website only.
South-Facing RGB LED Lights
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.
PCB Ultimate Precision and Stability
Our upgraded stabilizers now feature reinforced sidewalls around the stem, providing enhanced protection and significantly improving stability. These "walls" create a stronger connection between the switches and keycaps, ensuring smoother and more reliable typing on larger keys such as the spacebar, shift, enter, and backspace. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less wobbly.
