Keychron K4 HE – 96% Compact Hall Effect Wireless Mechanical Keyboard with Number Pad, Magnetic Switch, Rapid Trigger, Custom RGB, QMK/VIA, 2.4GHz/BT5.2/Wired, for Mac/Windows/Linux, Wood Frame, Black

My old mechanical was too loud to game while my wife and baby were sleeping. Sound was a huge factor and I took a leap on this one. Videos I watched it sounded pretty loud but it is almost dead silent!! The features are perfect, rapid trigger is a game changer and the A D key instant strafe is a game changer for FPS games. You can quick peak corners flawlessly. This is the best gaming purchase I have made, maybe ever. I used to have a Corsair K70 and typing on that sounded like someone was throwing handfuls of marbles down concrete stairs. The keys are hot swappable, the key caps on the special edition have a nice soft rounded feel which I love over my old sharp corner ones that dig into your fingers. Key actuation can be anywhere from just looking at the key and it triggers, down to a full bottom out key press. You can make it so the key instantly stops triggering the moment the key moves vertically which is great for movement keys but I had to adjust it for the shift and space bar keys since I found out my pinky lifts ever so slightly when sprinting in game and I kept canceling my sprint on accident. If you are thinking about buying this keyboard, do it! Heck even buy it if you aren't considering it. I type an average of 90WPM and it took a second to get used to this over my trash prior board but now I can type faster and with less errors since I don't have to press the key all the way down and just literally just lightly tap the keys to type. There is near infinite combos of sensitivity and features. The RGB shine through on the letters on the keys is pretty dim, it's more of a backlit keyboard than light up keycaps but I'm sure you could get different caps to change that if you wanted to. Personally I don't look at the keys often and just leave back light off but to each their own. Build quality is phenomenal, the weight is substantial and feels quality but not heavy, and the online web browser software had me worried but it actually works perfectly. Heck it works 100% better than my Corsair keyboards installed ICUE software could ever dream of. The software changes things instantly and doesn't need to be saved after every change, just open it, adjust, and close chrome. I couldn't imagine a better keyboard and now I don't need to. 100/100 no notes

I've been using this keyboard for a little over a month now (85% productivity / 15% gaming) and it has been a pleasure so far. Feel: To be honest, I don't have much experience in mechanical keyboards. I've used some basic browns/cherries before, otherwise mostly membrane. From how I understand linear switches, I want to say these feel like a linear/tactile hybrid. They have some weight to them and require some initial push to activate but there is no click (which I am much appreciative because I was afraid they would be too sensitive when resting my hands). They feel buttery smooth, well lubricated and very responsive. Dependent on your setup and how you position your hands, you may want a wrist rest as this keyboard is a bit high in it's housing. Layout: This 96% layout was what pushed me to purchase this particular keyboard because I need the numpad for work and it is compact enough where it does not take up much desk space and does not interfere with my mouse movement when I do play games. It's quite perfect in size for my situation, especially if you are used too a similar length/layout laptop keyboard. Build Quality: This thing feels like a tank. It has some weight to it for it's size. Everything from the aluminum frame and switches feels quality. Sound: Again, I don't have much experience with mechanical keyboards and initially was afraid that it would sound too clicky/clacky and distracting. It has a sound but is rather creamy and satisfying. Connectivity: I mostly use via USB but do travel across my desk in wireless mode from time to time. Pro tip: If you are having trouble waking it up in wireless mode, simply switch the connectivity button to another mode and back. It will instantly become responsive. RGB: I'm not picky on this topic. It does have a variety of modes but maybe not as customizable as some would like. The brightness is somewhat low in comparison to other gaming keyboards I've seen but has not affected me in early mornings / late nights in the dark. I actually prefer a more dimmed look. My only complaint is sometimes, the RGB profile changes on it's own. Usually to a slow pulsating single color. I have not been able to pinpoint what causes it.

This is a solid keyboard, not only in build but performance. It has a great tactile feel and the sound is fantastic. It did take some getting used to with the amount of downforce required compared to my last board (HyperX with HX Aqua switches). I don't take full advantage of the HE features (different key press depths to do different things (mostly for gaming)), but plan to setup some macros soon. The quality of the build is quite remarkable for the price; it's sturdy. The RGB is good, but limited (28 schemes) by what's available in the web-based QMK configuration tool, Launcher. Launcher has a lot of customization options. A lot. The 96% layout is a bit crammed together, as expected when you stuff a 10-key into a space not much larger than a board without. I use it wired, even though the USB cable that comes with it is pretty short, so I can't comment on Bluetooth performance or battery life. All-in-all, I'm very happy with this purchase and can recommend it to anyone looking for a solid build, fast-typing (improved my speed by about 8%), great-looking, great-sounding keyboard. Highly Recommended!

This is a serious bit of hardware, completely rigid aluminum base gives this keyboard the feel of quality. It has heft despite its compact size. Everything about it from the wood end caps, the base and feet to the incredible feel of the mag switches makes this keyboard something a cut above most others. The adjustable rgb lighting can be toned down to a nice subtle light for night work. Connecting usb-c wired, 2.4ghz WiFi and 3 device Bluetooth connections make switching devices almost instant. The features are extensive for gamers- much more than I could get into-but analog mode, adjustable trigger point, extensive key remapping are just a few. I personally like the 96% size as a numpad is non-optional for me and the compressed size more closely matches my style of working off laptop keyboards, so it is a good fit and takes up less desk room that a full sized board, Leaving room for my trackball and other items comfortably. The other major bonus to its compact size is it fits my travel bag for my gear-it is heavy for a keyboard, but I travel with a 17” laptop, trackball, spare mouse, 300 watt power brick, and all sorts of other bits and this keyboard tucks into a pocket perfectly leaving it protected, tidy and convenient to bring. The mag keys are tactile and slightly louder than I like, but not clattering and with the adjustable trip point via the config software you can adjust for a heavy or light typing style and even set individual keys differently so you can tune out inadvertent hits or make some keys need a feather touch. There are so many tuning and custom options that it’s well beyond a review scope to touch them all and some that really are for the hardcore gamers mostly, but you can make this your own with the tuning, swappable key caps and clever remapping. Sometimes you buy a product after lots of debate and researching the options, and can still be pleasantly surprised by how nice it is-and how it exceeds your expectations every time you use it. That is this keyboard for me. Spectacular product.

Nice touch, easy connection, hopefully robust enough.

Excellent clavier en qwerty la charge tient bien passe en veille pour la durée.

The build is sturdy, the texture of the keys is great Typing using this keyboard is amazing, the sound, the feel, both topnotch The customizable actuation depth already making wonders when gaming, the split second increase in response times to key presses is even recognizable The browser integrated launcher is very useful and is thoughtful alternative to installing an app on your computer

Excellent product. Arrived on time with no damage. It’s been using it for weeks now and it feels so premium, especially the typing and its creamy sound. Although, be ready to receive it in person because the delivery person will ask for a code that they have previously send you right after purchase, for security reasons.
