Keychron Q5 HE review. The Keychron Q5 HE is a great mechanical keyboard that proves that magnetic switches are useful for more than gaming. HE keyboards are a great upgrade for typists and gamers for their durability, precision, and customizability. The HE stands for Hall Effect, which describes part of how magnets influence electric charge. This finds its way into keyboards when manufacturers put magnets into the switches and use this effect to sense when a key is pressed much more accurately than an analog mechanical switch.
The technology took the keyboard community by storm this year. It provides a great advantage to gaming, as you can customize your key actuation with absolute precision through software. Over the summer, HE keyboards stirred up significant controversy within the Counter-Strike 2 community. This controversy led to their ban in tournaments due to features such as magnetic switches' being able to trigger different inputs at different points of actuation during the key press.
Despite this, HE keyboards still provide several advantages for everyone, including faster response times and reduced wear on the switches. The Keychron Q5 HE and the Q5 Pro have a lot of similarities; they both have all-metal bodies, knobs, RGB, and customization through software and hot-swapping.
