- What makes Hall-effect switches different?
- They use magnetic sensing instead of physical contact, so you can set each key's actuation and reset point in software. That also enables rapid trigger for gaming.
- Can I use it wired and wireless?
- Yes. It connects over 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth or USB-C, and you can switch between them.
- Can I change the switches?
- The sockets are hot-swappable, but Hall-effect boards need magnetic switches, so standard mechanical switches will not work.
- Does it work with QMK and VIA?
- Yes, it supports QMK and VIA for remapping keys and layers, and the actuation settings are adjusted in Keychron's software.
- Is the full-size layout worth it over a smaller board?
- If you use a number pad daily, the full-size layout saves a separate pad. If desk space or portability matters, a smaller Hall-effect board may suit you better.
- What is in the box?
- You get the keyboard, a USB-C cable, a keycap puller and switch puller, and a quick start guide.
