Keychron dropped a wooden version of their K2 HE keyboard that swaps the usual metal or plastic shell for CNC-machined timber while keeping the compact 75 percent layout and Hall-effect magnetic switches intact. The thing costs 199 bucks and lets users tweak actuation depth plus rapid-trigger settings through software, but it only works with magnetic switches since traditional mechanical ones won't fit the sockets.
The wooden case adds mass and changes how the board sounds, and the company reinforced it with tight machining tolerances to keep the magnets aligned properly with the sensors. Bluetooth 5.1 handles wireless connectivity across three devices, and there's USB-C for wired mode when latency matters.
The keyboard ships with a 4000 milliamp-hour battery, south-facing RGB lights, pre-lubed stabilizers, and keycaps for both Mac and Windows layouts.
