The new Keychron K2 HE keyboard is a sleek silhouette and it is currently available on Kickstarter with prices starting at $130. It has a strong build to support the captivating aesthetic, making it a great option to add to any desk. Notably, it will not start shipping out to customers until October this year.
In terms of the design, it has a modern theme with a black and white base to choose from. The keycaps are notably not a shine-through structure or backlit, but the bed of the keyboard has an RGB backlighting. Notably, it is also a 75% layout keyboard, which means that the number pad on the right side is not present and it has smaller gaps.
