About the Keychron Q3 HE Wireless Magnetic Gaming Keyboard (Carbon Black)
The Keychron Q3 HE is a tenkeyless magnetic-switch keyboard that lets you set each key’s actuation point between 0.2 and 3.8 mm. Rapid Trigger resets keys the moment you lift, and Dynamic Keystroke can assign up to four actions to a single key, which helps in fast games. It works over 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 5.2 with three devices, or USB-C, and is configured with QMK and Keychron Launcher. This Q3H-M1 version has a Carbon Black CNC aluminium body with a double-gasket mount, rotary knob, south-facing RGB and OSA PBT keycaps, and weighs close to 1.8 kg.
