Keychron - K4 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard

So far as I know only Keychron has a QMK-based magnetic board, though Monsgeek's driver is not terrible and the M1 v5 TMR has the ability to mix and match magnetic and traditional switches.

Make sure you get the hot swappable version, a soldered board is 2025 is practically a war crime.

It's Logitech, so no. Banana is a slightly heavier and smoother tactile switch. For the K4 you need to get the RGB backlight version with the hot-swappable switches. The default is soldered which is practically a war crime.

I just got the black special edition and I really like it. It feels and sounds much better than my stock gmmk2.

Got the Keychron k4HE 2 days ago from Amazon Prime Day. It is my first >$100 keyboard and I am so damn amazed by it.

If I may give you a suggestion towards reliability rather than higher specs, my current setup entails a 96% size hot-swappable keyboard (Keychron K4) and a mouse with optomechanical switches (Logitech G502X, wired version). The K4 you can swap an individual switch with a new one should one start to fail The G502X works in such a way that the currently way too common misuse of microswitches isn't a problem (voltage and whetting current too weak, leading to double clicking and the like down the line) because the mechanical switch is only there for feel, while the actual switching is performed optically (piece that interrupts a beam of light).

just got my K4HE in today, and it's been quite an enjoyable experience so far. first time using linears and hall-effect switches, coming from heavier tactile low-profile switches (40g vs 65g) on a k17 max. feels fairly smooth and the board isnt too loud. has kind of an in-between "creamy" and "clacky" sound to it. dont regret buying this board at all so far, espeically since it was cheaper then some other HE boards while offering basically the same functionality (minus 8k polling that some offer) while being in the 96% form factor i like which there basically arent any others of. and then you get the added bonuses of HE switches. like the customizable actuation range which im already liking since i can set it shallower and allow me to just tap keys to use them if i want to, or deeper like the key i have set to put my computer to sleep so i have to fully press it to get it to do anything. you get rapid trigger, multi function key presses, analog capability to where it can work like an "xbox remote", snap tap the board is wireless if you are into that (bluetooth and 2.4ghz dongle) only downside is you are limited to 3 different switches. 30g, 40g (default), and 50g linear switches and they are quite stubborn to take out of the board with the provided switch puller. But the stock ones feel nice enough imo edit: turns out im just a dum dum and have been trying to pull the switches out wrong, they come out nicely

Second this but the K4 HE, hall effect switches are OP for gaming

I just got my husband a keychron HE with the wood accents and he LOVES it

For wireless keyboard I'd look for those that have qmk/via such as the Keychron

Their new HE series seems promising for gaming.

I bought a Q3 Max with red switches and it was very silent. Be aware, Keychron HE keeb is compatible only with its own HE switches. For me it was a no-go.
