Keychron Showcases the Q HE Magnetic and B Pro Series Wireless Keyboards

Keychron prides itself in bringing the typing comfort and performance of gaming keyboards to the productivity and creator space. At the 2024 Computex, the company showed us their latest performance productivity keyboards. The first of these is the Q HE. This keyboard features magnetic switches for configurable actuation point; hot-swappable keyswitches and keycaps, a gasket mounting design for the switches; a CNC milled aluminium unibody, and 1000 Hz interface polling rate. This is a wireless keyboard, and features both 2.4 GHz RF (better latencies) and Bluetooth (more convenient). You can even plug it in and use it as a wired keyboard. The model shown is optimized for Macs, as you can tell from the Command keys, but there is a physical switch to enable a "Windows mode," which turns the Command keys to Win keys.

The Keychron B Pro series is a lightweight keyboard, with low-profile keys that use scissor-type mechanical keyswitches. The keyboard is barely half a centimeter thick, and since there's no lighting, the battery life is as high as 9 months. Interfaces include USB (type-C), 2.4 GHz RF, and Bluetooth. Just like the Q HE, this keyboard is Mac-friendly, and a switch lets you toggle between Mac and Windows modes.

I had a wireless keyboard 15 years ago that used AAAs, and even as a very heavy user I usually went 5 - 6 months between swapping batteries. Keyboards are very undemanding power-wise.

Well, my G613's usually last at least 6 months on 2x AA's, especially after I switched to rechargeable Lithiums a few years ago, and I'm usually bangin away at them for 50-70 hrs per week :)

I’m very invested in the QHE. Can’t wait to see how it performs compared to wooting

I might consider a Keychron mechanical hot-swap keyboard if there is "openrgb" support.

My favorite keyboard by far is still the Keychron K1 SE. It's a TKL with excellent low profile optical switches, also the LED shines through the keycaps. Wish they would make an improved sequel to that.

There is going to be more competition too. Most of the custom keyboard manufacturers will have hall effect pcb. Including Geon, Matrix (some models have) and even the popular sub 150usd Neo and other budget options
