More distance, sensitivity and dynamic keystrokes: with 4-in-1 action keys. Following on from the recent launch of the Keychron K2 HE magnetic keyboard, the innovative peripherals brand has announced the launch of an extended 96% layout version with the same Hall Effect precision witches and premium Narra wood option. The announcement of the start of direct sales of the K4 HE will appeal to Windows, macOS and Android users as the new is compatible with all three operating systems and blends Keychron’s popular K4 wireless mechanical keyboard but with the precision and customizable nature of Hall Effect switches.
The new K4 HE has been designed with hyperusers in mind. These are the power users who game and work from home and need an extended keyboard with a Numpad for spreadsheets, data entry and coding. The K4 HE is ultra-responsive thanks to its hot-swappable Hall Effect switches which provide the K4 HE with adjustable actuation points ranging from 0.
2mm to 3.8mm. Hall Effect switches give users the ability to fine-tune key sensitivity for gaming, work or both.
The ultra-precise 0.1 mm sensitivity ensures every keystroke is registered with optimal speed and accuracy. The Keychron K4 HE is aimed at gamers and homeworkers and has a 96% layout with a numpad.
“The K4 HE is a game-changer for professionals and gamers who demand precision and flexibility in their keyboard setup,” says Paul Tan, COO of Keychron. “With Hall Effect technology, users can now customize their typing experience like never before, ensuring every keystroke meets their exact needs.” The K4 HE has multiple connectivity options, including 2.
4GHz wireless, Bluetooth and USB-C wired connections for easy switching across workflows and devices. A 1,000Hz polling rate when used in wireless and wired mode provides a low-latency response that is likely to make the K4 HE extremely popular with gamers and home workers who want something better than a stock membrane keyboard. Each of the switches used in the K4 HE has north-facing RGB backlights which can be programmed with more than 22 lighting modes.
The keyboard switches and backlights can be programmed using the QMK Launcher software or website. Individual keys can be remapped and the actuation points and sensitivity can all be customized. The K4 He keyboard from Keychron has QMK firmware and can be customized using Keychron Launcher.
The K4 HE is powered by a 4,000mAh rechargeable battery that can power the keyboard with the backlights turned on for up to 110 hours. The keyboard is available with white and black finishes and can be ordered in a Standard Edition or a Special Edition with a rosewood finish. Keychron says the K4 HE is designed for versatility because the keyboard has a selectable hardware switch for selecting native macOS and Windows layouts, complete with system-specific modifier keycaps included in the box.
For those who appreciate a touch of luxury in their workspace, the K4 HE is available in a natural rosewood edition which is crafted from Narra wood. The finish offers a sophisticated aesthetic with a touch of luxury. Pricing and Availability: The Keychron K4 HE is available now directly from Keychron priced at $144.
