Keychron Releases K2 HE All Wood Special Edition With Walnut Case

Keychron launched the K2 HE All Wood Special Edition on December 8, 2025, expanding the maker's HE lineup with a compact 75 percent layout that blends magnetic Hall Effect switch technology with premium materials. The new model retains the familiar K2 footprint while swapping the usual plastic chassis for a walnut wooden case framed by CNC machined aluminum side panels, creating a distinct look and heavier feel that will appeal to users who value both aesthetics and build substance.

At the heart of the keyboard are Gateron double rail magnetic switches, which provide adjustable actuation and rapid trigger behavior. Connectivity includes 2.4 GHz wireless, Bluetooth 5.1 and USB C wired modes. Polling rates are 1000 Hz on 2.4 GHz and wired connections, and 125 Hz over Bluetooth. The unit ships preassembled, fitted with OSA profile double shot PBT keycaps, north facing RGB lighting, screw in PCB stabilizers and full NKRO support.

Practical value for owners comes from the combination of Hall Effect switch durability and adjustable actuation, as well as the plug and play convenience of a preassembled board with solid stabilizers and quality keycaps. The multiple connectivity modes give flexibility for desktop and mobile use, while the higher polling rates over 2.4 GHz and wired modes target low latency needs for gaming and precise typing.

At $199.99, the K2 HE All Wood Special Edition sits as a midrange premium offering that brings luxury materials to an accessible price point. Verify compatibility with keycap and case mods if planning customizations, since the wooden case alters weight and mounting compared with standard plastic models. For those seeking a ready to use Hall Effect keyboard with a warm wooden aesthetic, the new K2 HE delivers a balance of performance and presentation that will matter in both daily productivity and competitive play.
