Keychron's new keyboard is entirely ceramic, but it's the switches that will change the game

Mint green Keychron Q16 HE 8K gaming keyboard on a black desk.

The Keychron Q16 HE 8K is a "world first", a magnetic keyboard built entirely out of ceramic. If you're close to the custom keyboard community, you'd be right in expecting the deep, thocky richness of ceramic caps to shine here, placed in a chassis made of an equally dense, sound-absorbing material. Does it feel fantastic? Of course it does, but I'm more interested in its switches.

Underneath each ceramic cap, you'll find a brand new clicker. Keychron's Ultra Fast Lime is a magnetic switch that uses a TMR sensor, a sibling to more traditional Hall effect options that followers of the best gaming keyboards will recognize.
