The Keychron K2 HE feels incredible

Like typing on clouds

Published

September 2, 2024

I’m not exactly what people would call a keyboard enthusiast. That’s a rabbit hole I consciously tried to avoid. I did, however, purchase a Keychron K3 keyboard a little over two years ago just to try it and have been using it ever since. Although, more sparingly recently.

A new keyboard wasn’t in my “to acquire” list but to my surprise, Keychron reached out and asked if we were willing to check out their latest – that’s the Keychron K2 HE. I jumped at the opportunity.

The Keychron K2 HE is still a kickstarter project as of writing. Click here to check out the kickstarter page and back it. Every feature you want to know about the product should be there. That’s why in this article, I’m primarily going to focus on my brief experience with it.

Like typing on clouds

Naturally, the first thing you’ll check with keyboards is what it feels like to type on them. My only real point of reference are the many laptop keyboards I’ve reviewed and the Keychron K3 I own. None of them come close to the extremely satisfying feeling I get when typing on the Keychron K2 HE.

Initially, I thought the keys were a little small for my chubby fingers. But I gave it an hour or two and I quickly adjusted to the size of the keys. Of course, it helps that the “bounce” on each keypress feels incredible. I’m not sure how else to describe it, but it does almost feel like you are typing on clouds.

I’m more familiar with sneaker-cushion lingo. Using that as reference, the bounce and energy return on each keypress of the Keychron K2 HE feels absolutely elite. This will sound like hyperbole, but it’s literally unlike anything else I’ve typed on before.

Keychron said they used double-rail magnetic switches by Gateron on these and perhaps that’s why the bounce and feel on this thing is absolutely insane.

DualSense-like Keys

These magnetic switches do more than just provide an incredible feeling when typing. They also allow for what Keychron calls ‘Adjustable Actuation Points’ as well as ‘Dynamic Rapid Triggering’.

With ‘Adjustable Actuation Points’, you’re able to assign how much pressing effort is required to trigger a particular action. That means for certain apps or games, you can make sure you avoid accidental presses or touches.

With ‘Dynamic Rapid Triggering’ you can “activate and deactivate keys based on travel distance to gain a consistent edge over your opponents with dynamic rapid trigger technology” . I just lifted that from the Kickstarter page because I’m more of a controller than a keyboard and mouse player when gaming. And I didn’t have a chance to thoroughly test this prior to needing to publish.

The way I understand it functions almost like the Adaptive Triggers on the DualSense controller of the PlayStation 5. In certain games, a half press and a full press on the triggers perform different functions. The keys on the Keychron K2 HE can be programmed in a similar manner.

If you’re all about precision, this is something that will be a major boon for you.

Thankfully, you don’t need an app to make all these adjustments. Just connect the keyboard to your laptop or PC and fire up the Keychron Launcher Web App to customize everything you want to customize. That includes keypresses

A look that will match just about anything

The Keychron K2 HE’s design is elevated by its wooden highlights. It comes in predominantly white or black bodies but it’s the rosewood accents that’ll help it blend into whatever set-up you have.

I was secretly hoping Keychron would send over the black one but I’ve grown to love the white one they sent over.

Toggles, ports and more are your usual affair.

On the left-hand side you’ll find the loan USB-C button. Right next to it you’ll find the Android/PC and Mac/iOS toggle. And right next to that you’ll find the Wired or Bluetooth toggle.

Flip it and you’ll find the two kickstands with two available height adjustments.

The rosewood accents are found on the sides of the keyboard with the escape and enter keys colored in the exact same way.

The Kickstarter Page says there are 22 backlight modes that you can fine tune to your liking. The backlight key on the top-most-right corner of the keyboard lets you cycle through some of the modes.

I tried changing the static color like I would on the Keychron K3 but that didn’t seem to work. For more granular control, your best bet is to go to the web app.

Long-lasting, quick waking

If, like me, you’re the type who doesn’t like to keep his things plugged, you’ll be happy to learn that the Keychron K2 HE will last on battery charge for a pretty long time. I’m already on roughly my second week of use from a full-charge and as of writing, it’s only gone down to 55% – that’s with pretty heavy usage.

I’m typically in front of my laptop 80% of my work time responding to work emails, chats, and copy editing the team’s work. In between those, I also have heavy writing session days when I try to knock off as many reviews, features, and scripts as I can in one sitting.

It’s that reason that I can’t tell you just yet how long it takes to charge this thing from zero because I just haven’t gotten to that point yet. Rest assured I shall update this space when the time comes.

Another big leap I noticed is that the keyboard’s sleep-to-wake speed is almost instantaneous. It’s a stark contrast to the 3-4 seconds that I have to wait before the Keychron K3 starts functioning again from sleep. It’s been one of the most pleasant things about the Keychron K2 HE for me.

Is the Keychron K2 HE your GadgetMatch?

The Keychron K2 HE has reached well-over its target in the Kickstarter campaign. The product starts at US$125 but you’ll need to shell out US$ 135 to get the special edition one with the rosewood accent.

For what you’re getting, I think that’s an absolutely fair price. And with the keyboard’s customizability, you’ll surely get plenty of mileage for it especially if you’re the type who really uses their keyboard a lot.

This is an easy recommendation for me. The Keychron K2 HE is a keyboard that feels absolutely light on your fingers with advanced features and looks to elevate your typing and gaming. It’s a worthy accessory to add to your arsenal and one that deserves GadgetMatch’s Seal of Approval.

Insta360 Flow 2 update improves Android support, adds new iOS features

Better Android lens support

Insta360 Flow 2 update improves Android support, adds new iOS features
Excerpt: Better Android lens support

Insta360 has released a major spring update for its Flow 2 series handheld gimbals, bringing wider Android compatibility and new features for iPhone users.

The update focuses on improving how the Flow 2 and Flow 2 Pro work across different devices. It expands support for flagship Android phones while adding new shooting tools for iOS, making hands-free, stabilized video easier to capture without extra gear.

Android finally gets full lens access

One of the biggest changes is native multi-lens support on Android. When paired with the Insta360 app, the Flow 2 series can now access ultra-wide and telephoto lenses on supported devices from Samsung, Google Pixel, vivo, OPPO, and more.

This means users can shoot at full resolution using their phone’s native cameras, whether capturing wide landscapes or zoomed-in details. The update brings Android performance closer to what iPhone users have been getting, especially in more dynamic shooting scenarios like concerts, sports, and vlogging.

The improved lens access also works with features like Widescreen Mode, helping users create smoother, more cinematic footage with better framing flexibility.

Faster 360 panoramas for quick sharing

The Flow 2 series continues to stand out with its ability to capture full 360-degree panoramas. With the new 360 Panorama 2.0, stitching is now 50% faster, producing results in about 20 seconds.

Users can capture everything in one go, then choose their preferred framing afterward. The feature also supports interactive sharing via links, letting viewers pan and explore the image on platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Creative templates such as Tiny Planet are also available for quick edits, making it easier to turn panoramic shots into shareable content.

Dual View adds more angles in one take

Dual View Mode introduces multi-angle recording without the need for additional cameras. It allows simultaneous recording using the front and rear cameras, or even dual rear lenses, producing three clips in a single take.

This is useful for creators who want to capture reactions alongside the main shot or experiment with different focal lengths at once. Combined with AI tracking, the feature keeps subjects centered while adding more variety to footage.

Apple Watch control for hands-free shooting

For iPhone users, the update adds Apple Watch control, turning the watch into a remote for the gimbal.

Users can start or stop recording, adjust settings, switch modes, and even control zoom using the Digital Crown. This allows for better control during solo shoots, especially when the phone is mounted on the gimbal at a distance.

Smarter tracking and remote control tools

The update also improves several AI-powered features across the Flow 2 series.

AI Tracker now works across more Android apps, enabling subject tracking during video calls, livestreams, or hands-free recording. Multi-person tracking keeps groups in frame, while Active Zoom Tracking allows up to 15x zoom while maintaining focus on moving subjects.

There’s also a new smartphone remote control feature, which lets users operate the gimbal using a second phone. This adds flexibility for more complex shooting setups without interrupting the shot.

Availability

The update is available now through the Insta360 app and the official website. Compatibility may vary depending on the smartphone model.

JP and GadgetMatch

Jabra is expanding its hybrid work ecosystem with the new PanaCast Room Kit.

It’s a video conferencing solution built for meeting rooms. But it skips the usual complexity. No tangled cables, no custom programming, and no need for IT on standby.

The kit is designed for teams of three to 15 people. Setup takes minutes: Connect the cameras, place the speakers and microphones, and link everything with a single cable.

That’s it. A standard room becomes a smart collaboration space without the usual friction.

Built for inclusive meetings

At the center of the experience is the PanaCast 55 VBS.

It uses a 180-degree multi-camera system powered by onboard AI. Jabra’s Virtual Director technology tracks speakers and reframes the view in real time.

Everyone stays visible. Even those seated at the far end of the table.

The goal is simple. Make remote participants feel like they’re in the room.

Audio keeps up with that promise. The PanaCast SpeakerMic extends coverage up to 11 meters. Every voice comes through clearly and at a consistent volume. No need to raise your voice just to be heard.

No-fuss by design

The system adds a Huddly L1 camera for a secondary angle. This gives meetings a more complete and inclusive view.

There’s also the Jabra Control IP touch controller. It handles meetings with simple, one-touch controls.

Everything works together with minimal input. No manual pan-tilt-zoom adjustments. No audio balancing. The AI handles it.

Enterprise-ready, plug-and-play simple

The PanaCast Room Kit is fully UC-certified. It works with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet.

It also runs on the Microsoft Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP), bringing enterprise-grade security and reliability.

The idea is straightforward. High-end meeting tech shouldn’t be hard to use.

From small huddle spaces to larger boardrooms, the kit scales without added complexity. It removes the usual barriers to hybrid collaboration.

Whether it’s a quick team sync or a full boardroom discussion, the PanaCast Room Kit aims to give everyone a front-row seat.

Sony announces open-back INZONE H6 Air

Deeper and tighter bass, more immersive gaming soundscape

Published

April 16, 2026

GadgetMatch

Gamers are set to get another immersive headphones from Sony with the launch of the INZONE H6 Air.

This latest offering features an open-back acoustic structure and custom drivers for deep and tight bass, thanks to back ducts integrated into the drivers.

The open-back structure also helps with a realistic immersive sound field, making gamers feel they are in the game space.

This design minimizes internal reflections by leaving the housing unobstructed. The result is accurate sound field reproduction exactly as game creators intended.

The Sony INZONE H6 Air also features precision-tuned driver units engineered with the same technology as Sony’s renowned MDR-MV1 open-back studio monitor headsets. It is specially adapted for this particular wearable.

Back ducts integrated into the driver unit help deliver deep and controlled bass reproduction, while maintaining clear separation of mids and lows. This detail is helpful especially for titles where rich sound detail matters.

Crafted with premium aluminum, the INZONE H6 Air is also one of Sony’s lightest gaming headsets at just 199 grams. The headset uses the same spring hinge headband design seen on the INZONE H9 II.

Furthermore, the headset features an “RPG/Adventure” equalizer profile as it is developed with sound engineers from PlayStation Studios.

This specific profile is optimized for RPG and adventure titles, recreating the acoustic experience of a sound studio and delivering an immersive listening experience.

An additional cardioid boom mic focuses on voice angled towards the user’s mouth, eliminating unnecessary side noise.

Fnatic Edition devices, INZONE Buds Glass Purple

In addition to the Sony INZONE H6 Air, Sony has launched the Fnatic Editions of the INZONE Mouse-A, INZONE Mat-F, and INZONE Mat-D.

This next step in the collaboration between Sony and Fnatic makes the professional esports club even more present in fans’ daily gaming experience.

Rounding out the new releases is the INZONE Buds in Glass Purple colorway. This joins the previous black and white options, giving owners plenty of choices to suit their styles.
