Keychron K4 HE Wireless Magnetic Switch Custom Keyboard
Forever change your gaming and typing experience with Keychron K4 HE, which brings a top-notch performance by merging the best of traditional mechanical keyboards with the advanced benefits of magnetic tech — in a clean, minimalistic design with natural rosewood accents.
A fully customisable 96% layout wireless keyboard with magnetic switches — a breakthrough in switch technology, which—instead of physical contacts—uses magnetic sensors to measure actuation depth, putting you in total control over the response of each and every switch.
The K4 HE is compatible exclusively with the Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Switch. It does not support other magnetic switches such as the Gateron Magnetic Jade or Gateron KS-20 Magnetic switches.

Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Switches
Keychron K4 HE comes with pre-lubed Gateron double-rail magnetic switches for an ultra-stable and ultra-responsive typing experience with an industry-leading, lightning-fast response time, and precise control over the way your keyboard feels and responds. Jump into action with unmatched smoothness and stability.
As opposed to traditional mechanical switches, magnetic switches use pressure-sensitive hall effect sensors to detect keypresses—which means you get to set the depth at which you want each keypress to engage, with 0.1-millimetre precision.
Adjustable Actuation Point
Customise each key with precision, adjusting actuation points from 0.2 to 3.8 mm with 0.1 mm sensitivity. Set shallow keypresses for instant actions and deeper ones for deliberate engagement, minimising accidental touches and giving you an edge in both gaming and typing.
Last Keystroke Prioritisation (LKP) & Snap Click
LKP allows seamless directional changes by prioritising the last key pressed, ensuring smoother gameplay in titles like Valorant. With Snap Click, deeper keypresses take precedence when two keys are hit at once, automatically resetting shallower presses.
Together, these features make counter-strafing effortless, giving you the accuracy and speed needed for high-level FPS play.
*They are disabled by default, but you can easily enable them in the Launcher web app when needed.
Dynamic Rapid Trigger
Activate or deactivate keys based on how far they travel, not predefined points. This means immediate key reactions—press to activate, release to reset—allowing for faster, more precise keystrokes. In rapid gameplay, this translates to executing complex actions in real-time without delay, giving you a serious advantage during fast-paced sequences.
One Key. Multiple Actions.
Thanks to Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS), you can now assign up to 4 distinct actions per key based on press depth. A light press moves your character, a deeper press makes them run, and releasing the key enables additional commands. This layered control lets you execute multiple moves with ease, streamlining gameplay while enhancing control and speed, making your reactions quicker and more precise.
Analogue Mode
Experience the power of Analogue Mode on your K4 HE, bringing game controller-like precision to your keyboard. This mode enables variable inputs instead of the usual on/off signals, letting you achieve more fluid and dynamic control.
With each keypress, the K4 HE detects how far you press, translating it into different speeds and intensities. Enjoy nuanced control and heightened responsiveness in racing games, sports simulations, and more.
Program with QMK & Launcher
The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. With the Keychron Launcher web app, you can effortlessly remap keys, adjust actuation points, set the magnetic switches, and create personalised macro commands, shortcuts, and key combinations for each key.

Satisfying Keyboard Acoustics
With pre-lubed switches, 3.5 mm thick EVA acoustic foam, EPDM foam, and a silicone pad inside the keyboard, the Keychron K4 HE delivers an exceptionally satisfying, soft, and thocky typing sound, enhancing your typing experience.
An Epic Core Inside the Keyboard
Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 256K flash and QMK open-source firmware to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box in Type-C wired mode and 2.4 GHz mode, which greatly helps when competitively gaming.
Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility with Windows devices, the K4 HE comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customised keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
Double-Shot PBT Keycaps
The PBT keycaps (shine-through cherry profile on the standard version, non-shine-through OSA profile for the special editions) will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
Hot-Swappable
Unlike mechanical switches, which depend on physical contact, Hall Effect magnetic switches use magnets to detect key presses. It is effortless to swap out the switch with compatible Hall Effect magnetic switches.
*The K4 HE is compatible with the double-rail magnetic switches sold on the Keychron website only.
