Our take, based on research

A good-value wired Hall-effect 75% per GetGeek.ro, the only review found. Treat it as one reviewer's view.

Overview

The J2 HE 8K is a wired-only Hall-effect 75%. Keychron's page lists hot-swap Keychron Ultra-fast Lime magnetic switches, Cherry-profile double-shot PBT keycaps, 8000Hz polling, a plastic gasket-mount body, plate-mounted stabilizers, north-facing RGB, three feet angles (4.5, 6.4 and 8.8 degrees) and 780 g, with Launcher remapping on Windows and macOS. GetGeek.ro (Romanian) reviewed it and found the plastic case does not creak or visibly flex, the internal steel plate and foam layers give a firmer, less hollow sound, the Lime switches use a POM stem and feel smooth, and Rapid Trigger and adjustable actuation work as expected. It said polling can be switched between 1000, 4000 and 8000Hz in Launcher, and that the sockets only accept Hall-effect magnetic switches. Its main caveats are the plastic feel, no wireless and a less polished software suite than big gaming brands.
