Keychron K2 HE [K4 HE, K8 HE, etc.]
Keychron V3 [V1, V5, V6, etc.] Ultra 8K
The Keychron K2 HE and the Keychron V3 Ultra 8K keyboards share many similarities, but they differ in the type of switches they use. While the V3 Ultra 8K uses standard mechanical switches, the K2 HE uses Hall effect switches with adjustable actuation. This makes it possible to include features like Rapid Trigger, which can be a nice boon for shooters who benefit from counter-strafing techniques or rhythm games. The Keychron K2 HE also includes shine-through keycaps, which makes it better to use in darker rooms. The V3 Ultra 8K is no slouch for gaming either. Its latency performance is actually slightly better, thanks in part to the 8000Hz polling rate.
