Keychron's concrete keyboard aims for industrial rhythm
Keychron is about to launch a wireless, magnetic-switched model billed as having a 'full concrete body'. The Keychron K2 HE Concrete Edition looks like a regular off-white keyboard, but the company has given it a noticeably heavyweight base.
Not all of the chassis is concrete: a side view reveals a metal panel where the USB connections and various switches sit, and the switchplate underneath looks to be regular plastic.
The accompanying product video describes the sound as "deep" and "resonant", and marketing copy leans into an "industrial rhythm"—a phrase the writer found appealing. We'll have to wait until later this month, when the product officially launches, to hear whether keystrokes thock, thunk, or, as one quip suggested, go "thwomp."
