FAQs

What is the main advantage of magnetic switches?

Magnetic switches, like the Gateron Hall Effect switches in the K2 HE, allow for adjustable actuation points and features like Dynamic Rapid Trigger, offering faster response times and greater customization than traditional mechanical switches.

How do I adjust the actuation point of a key?

You can adjust the actuation point for each key using the Keychron Launcher web app. The sensitivity can be set with 0.1mm precision, ranging from 0.2mm to 3.8mm.

Can I use this keyboard with both Windows and Mac computers?

Yes, the Keychron K2 HE has a system toggle to switch between Windows and macOS modes and includes customized keycaps for both operating systems.

What is Analog Mode?

Analog Mode allows keys to function like analog inputs from a game controller. This means the further you press a key, the more intense the input, enabling variable control for actions like acceleration or steering in games.

How many devices can I connect to simultaneously?

The keyboard supports multipoint connectivity, allowing you to connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth 5.2 and switch between them seamlessly. It also supports a 2.4 GHz wireless connection.

Is the keyboard hot-swappable?

Yes, the Keychron K2 HE is hot-swappable, but it specifically requires compatible double-rail magnetic switches sold by Keychron. Standard mechanical switches will not work.

What is the polling rate of the keyboard?

In Type-C wired mode and 2.4 GHz wireless mode, the polling rate is 1000 Hz. In Bluetooth mode, it is 125 Hz.

Troubleshooting

Keyboard not connecting via Bluetooth

Ensure the keyboard is charged. Turn off and on the Bluetooth on your device and the keyboard. Try re-pairing the device by holding the Bluetooth key combination until the light flashes.

Keys are not responding or are slow

Check the connection type (wired, 2.4 GHz, or Bluetooth). Ensure the keyboard is charged. For wireless, check the range and ensure no interference. Verify advanced features like Rapid Trigger are configured correctly in the Launcher app.

RGB lighting is not working or behaving unexpectedly

Check if RGB is enabled and configured in the Keychron Launcher app. Try cycling through lighting modes using the function key combinations. A firmware update might resolve software-related lighting issues.

Unable to remap keys or set macros

Ensure you are using the Keychron Launcher web app. Confirm the keyboard is connected in wired or 2.4 GHz mode, as some software functions may require a stable connection. Check for app updates.

Battery not charging

Try a different USB Type-C cable and a known working USB power source. Ensure the charging port is clean and free of debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Connectivity: Connect via the included USB Type-C cable for wired mode, plug in the USB receiver for 2.4 GHz wireless, or pair via Bluetooth 5.2 by holding down the appropriate key combination.
  2. System Toggle: Use the physical switch on the keyboard to select between Windows and macOS.
  3. Software: Download the Keychron Launcher web app from the Keychron website to remap keys, configure macros, adjust actuation points, and enable/disable advanced features like Dynamic Rapid Trigger.

Compatibility:

  • Operating Systems: Windows, macOS, and Linux are fully supported.
  • Devices: Compatible with PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones that support USB, 2.4 GHz wireless, or Bluetooth connections.
  • Switches: The K2 HE is only compatible with double-rail magnetic switches sold by Keychron.

Care:
