The Keychron Q4 HE Special Edition keyboard uses Gateron Nebula magnetic switches. These switches use magnets and sensors instead of physical contacts to process actuations, creating a much smoother keypress without bounce or chatter. The adjustable actuation point is determined not by location but by distance travelled. The PCB is hotswap but only compatible with Gateron dual rail magnetic switches.


Adjustable Actuation Point: Customize each key with precision, adjusting actuation points from 0.2 to 3.8 mm with 0.1 mm sensitivity. Set shallow keypresses for instant actions and deeper ones for deliberate engagement, minimizing accidental touches and giving you an edge in both gaming and typing.

Dynamic Rapid Trigger: Activate or deactivate keys based on how far they travel, not predefined points. This means immediate key reactions—press to activate, release to reset—allowing for faster, more precise keystrokes. In rapid gameplay, this translates to executing complex actions in real-time without delay, giving you a serious advantage during fast-paced sequences.

Dynamic Keystrokes: Thanks to Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS), you can now assign up to 4 distinct actions per key based on press depth. A light press moves your character, a deeper press makes them run, and releasing the key enables additional commands. This layered control lets you execute multiple moves with ease, streamlining gameplay while enhancing control and speed, making your reactions quicker and more precise.

Analog Mode: Analog Mode Experience the power of Analog Mode, bringing game controller-like precision to your keyboard. This mode enables variable inputs instead of the usual on/off signals, letting you achieve more fluid and dynamic control. With each keypress, the keyboard detects how far you press, translating it into different speeds and intensities. Enjoy nuanced control and heightened responsiveness in racing games, sports simulations, and more.

Program with QMK & Launcher: The open-source QMK firmware means endless possibilities for key remapping, macros, shortcuts, and more. With the Keychron Launcher web app, you can effortlessly remap keys, adjust actuation points, set the magnetic switches, create personalized macro commands, shortcuts, and key combinations for each key.
