DESIGN

A PIECE OF METAL ART

Metal Aesthetics

Built Solid, Designed to Stand Apart

The entire metal body is crafted from 6063 aluminum, a material known for its increased durability, stability, and premium feel. Compared with typical plastics, aluminum alloy resists bending more than 10 times. Its heavier mass anchors the keyboard, delivering a solid typing experience with minimal flex and movement. Aluminum is also more resistant to wear and tear, while being environmentally friendly and recyclable.

The aged finish brings a distinctive vintage aesthetic to the aluminum body, creating a weathered look. Paired with special key legends and the golden compass patterns on the bottom, every element adds to the keyboard's unique character.

PRECISION

WIRED FOR 8K SPEED

In wired mode, the keyboard delivers an 8K polling rate, reporting your inputs up to 8,000 times per second for faster response and lower latency. Every keystroke feels more immediate and precise, giving you the responsiveness you need for fast-paced gaming where every millisecond counts.

POWERFUL CORE

An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard

Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 1MB of flash, the Q19 HE 8K offers extensive flexibility for customization and advanced functionality. It achieves an ultra-responsive 8K polling rate and up to 256KHz single-key scanning rate, ensuring every keystroke is registered with near-zero latency and exceptional accuracy for the most demanding gaming and professional tasks.

SWITCHES

Super Sensitive, Fast Response

Switches

Keychron Ultra-fast Lime Magnetic Switch

The Keychron Q19 HE 8K comes with pre-lubed Keychron Ultra-Fast Lime Magnetic Switches for a smooth, ultra-stable, and highly responsive typing experience. Made from premium POM, the switches deliver fast, precise input with a soft, satisfying feel and deep, thocky sound, making every keystroke more enjoyable.

MAGNETIC SWITCH

Adjustable ACTUATION POINT

Precision Down to 0.005mm


Tune every key to respond exactly how you want. Set the actuation point from 0.10 to 3.50 mm, with 0.01 mm sensitivity from 0.10 to 2.50 mm of travel, 0.005 mm from 2.51 to 3.50 mm of travel. Set a shallow point for faster responses, or a deeper one for more deliberate input.

MAGNETIC SWITCH

Last Key Priority (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.

*They are disabled by default, but you can easily enable them in our Launcher web app when needed.

MAGNETIC SWITCH

One Keystroke, Multiple Actions

Assign four actions to a single key based on the depth of your press. For example, lightly press a key to walk forward in a game, and press deeper to run. Additionally, releasing the key also supports two-stage settings. This allows for smoother, personalized combinations that can give you an edge in competitive gaming.

Magnetic Switch

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.

Magnetic Switch

Analog Mode

Experience the power of Analog Mode on your Q19 HE 8K, 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 Q19 HE 8K 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.

Compatibility

Suitable for All Devices

Built with Mac users' experience in mind while still retaining compatibility with Windows devices, the Q19 HE 8K comes with an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. Switch easily between Mac and Windows modes by holding "Fn" + "Caps Lock" for 3 seconds.

Durability

Cherry Profile Dye-sub Keycaps

Made from PBT with dye-sublimated legends, these keycaps offer a textured feel and refined aesthetic. The Cherry profile provides a natural, comfortable typing feel. Resistant to shine, PBT offers lasting durability and helps the keycaps maintain their texture and look over time.

CUSTOMIZE

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 switches with other Keychron Ultra-Fast Lime Magnetic Switches. Choose from linear, tactile, or silent options to match your preferred typing feel.

Backlight

South-facing RGB LED Lights

The south-facing RGB LEDs are designed to better illuminate the keyboard from the typist's angle, even with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. Choose from 22 basic lighting effects, or customize the lighting further with per-key RGB and mixed RGB effects.

rgb backlight

Per-key RGB

With Per-key RGB, every single key is a digital brushstroke. This feature lets you individually customize the color of each key, transforming your keyboard into a vibrant canvas.

rgb backlight

MIX RGB

With Mix RGB, you can split your keyboard into two custom lighting zones, each with unique effects. Create creative, high-contrast combinations to make your entire setup pop with vibrant style.
