The Keychron K2 HE - Tao of Mac
I don’t think I’ve ever used so many different keyboards in a year. But I am happy that things have been improving so fast that I can actually feel the difference between them.
The Keychron K2 HE is a very different beast from the K11 Max I reviewed earlier this year, and I was lucky enough to try out its Special Edition version.
As a (somewhat retired) FPS gamer, I’ve tracked the recent controversies around magnetic/Hall effect keyboards and their tunable activation points (most notably that Valve banned them in CS2), so when Keychron offered me a review unit I was already primed to be interested.
But when I looked at the specs, I was even more intrigued by the fact that this keyboard has full-height keys–something that I have steered away from for years due to RSI issues.
I fully expected to try it out and then go back to the K11 Max I’ve been using for the past few months, but the key feel on the K2 HE is so remarkably different that I’m actually torn at that prospect–even though I’m a stickler for desktop real estate and the K2 HE is definitely bigger and bulkier than a standard Apple Magic Keyboard:
