EXPERT FEATURES
- Magnetic Nebula Switches: Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic Nebula switches use magnetic sensing to detect keypress depth, giving you precise control over how each key responds.
- Adjustable Actuation: Set each key’s actuation point from 0.2 to 3.8 mm in 0.1 mm increments. Choose a shallow setting for quick inputs or a deeper one to help avoid accidental presses.
- Rapid Trigger: Keys activate and reset based on movement, supporting fast repeated inputs.
- Dynamic Keystrokes: Assign up to four actions to a key at different press depths.
- Analog Mode: Variable keypress depth can provide controller-like input in supported games, such as racing and sports titles.
- Last Key Priority and Snap Click: These optional gaming features support directional changes and prioritize deeper simultaneous presses. Both are disabled by default and can be enabled in Keychron Launcher.
- Three Connection Modes: Use 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.2, or USB-C wired. Bluetooth supports connections to three devices.
- Fast Polling for Gaming: Polling rate reaches 1000 Hz over 2.4 GHz and wired connections; Bluetooth polling is 125 Hz.
- Hot-Swappable Switches: Replace switches with compatible Gateron Double-Rail Magnetic switches. Other magnetic switch types are not supported.
- Programmable Controls: QMK firmware and the Keychron Launcher web app support key remapping, macros, and per-key adjustments.
- Black Special Edition Design: Aluminum frame with dark wood accents and OSA-profile double-shot PBT keycaps.
- Customizable RGB: Choose from 22+ lighting modes and adjust color, brightness, and effect speed in Keychron Launcher.
- Multi-OS Compatibility: Works with Windows, macOS, and Linux. A system toggle and included Mac and Windows keycaps support switching between layouts.
- Quieter, Cushioned Typing Feel: Pre-lubed switches, EVA and EPDM foam, and a silicone pad help reduce vibration and echo.
