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-millimeter precision.
Adjustable Actuation Point
Customize 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, minimizing accidental touches and giving you an edge in both gaming and typing.
Last Keystroke Prioritization (LKP) & Snap Click
LKP allows seamless directional changes by prioritizing 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 our 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. M0ultiple 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.
Analog Mode
Experience the power of Analog 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 personalized macro commands, shortcuts, and key combinations for each key.
* Please use the latest version of Chrome / Opera / Edge browser to open the Launcher and connect the keyboard to your device via wired mode.

2.4 GHz & Bluetooth Connection
Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the K4 HE's 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the K4 HE via Bluetooth 5.2 to three devices.
The K4 HE keyboard delivers exceptional latency performance within its class, outperforming other flagship keyboards in the industry.
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 customized 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.
North-facing RGB LED Lights
Choose between 22+ backlight modes, and tune the hue, saturation, brightness, and effect speeds right inside the Keychron Launcher web app. Match your style and create an atmosphere that’s uniquely yours.
Newly Enhanced Stabilizers for Ultimate Precision
Our upgraded stabilizers now feature reinforced sidewalls around the stem, providing extra protection and significantly improving stability. These "walls" create a stronger connection between the switches and keycaps, ensuring smoother, more reliable typing on big keys like the spacebar, shift, enter, and delete.
