QK60 HE – 60% aluminium with magnetic switches
The QK60 HE is QwertyKeys' first Hall effect keyboard: a compact 60% aluminium case in which every key measures its position with a magnet and a sensor on the PCB – instead of a mechanical contact.
The prebuilt version arrives fully assembled with QwertyKeys' own magnetic switches and keycaps. No soldering, no lubing, no building.

01 · Switches
In-house magnetic switches: Pumpkin and Grey Crystal
QwertyKeys developed two magnetic switches of its own for the QK60 HE, Pumpkin and Grey Crystal. Both are linear and share the same specs: 3.4 mm total travel, 35 gf initial force and 45 gf bottom-out force – on the light side. The stem is POM, the housing PC.
The magnet is larger than in many other magnetic switches. Twelve stabilising ribs at the top and eight at the bottom keep the stem steady, and a reinforced spring gives a quick return.
Because the keyboard tracks key travel continuously, it supports rapid trigger: a key resets as soon as you let it up a little, not at a fixed point. How that works is explained in our guide Hall effect and rapid trigger.
02 · Electronics
Three chips: 8000 Hz and 0.06 ms
The electronics are split across three chips: a 512 MHz main controller and two 240 MHz chips. Every key is read directly rather than through a shared detour, which keeps the signal clean even when you hammer the same key.

03 · Web driver
Set up in the browser, three profiles out of the box
You configure the QK60 HE through a web driver – nothing to install. Set the actuation point, rapid trigger and dead zone, and use features like SOCD, DKS (several actions on one key depending on press depth), mod-tap and toggle. RGB lighting can be set per key.
Three profiles come preloaded: Work, VALORANT and CS. A dedicated profile key with an indicator sits top right, so you switch without opening the driver.
04 · Mount and dampening
Owlab leaf-spring gasket mount
The internals sit on Owlab's patented leaf-spring gasket mount: leaf springs carry the assembly inside the case and give slightly as you type. That means a consistent feel and less vibration – not a given on a gaming board.
Underneath is a multi-layer foam kit: plate foam, PE sheet, PET sheet, case foam and a PET film on the bottom. Together they take out hollowness and harsh bottom-out noise. More on mounting and sound in our guide Gasket mount and keyboard sound.
05 · Case
Aluminium with sharp, angular cuts
The case is fully CNC-machined aluminium (6063), sandblasted at 220 grit and anodised – fine to the touch with a soft metallic sheen. Inside sits a mirror-finished stainless steel weight; the finished keyboard weighs 1,123 g.
Several angular cuts run along the sides, and the bottom has grille-like openings. With the lighting on, light shines through them onto your desk. Rubber feet keep the board in place, and a silicone cushion around the USB-C port protects the connector.

06 · Keycaps and layout
60% ANSI with frosted PC keycaps
A 60% layout drops the function row, arrow keys and navigation cluster – you reach them via the Fn key on a second layer. In return you get more room for your mouse, a real plus for low-sensitivity gaming. The QK60 HE comes in ANSI layout with a 6.25u spacebar, a large backspace and a wide, single-row enter.
The keycaps are frosted, translucent PC: RGB light spreads evenly, the surface feels pleasant and hardly shows fingerprints. The backspace key has a metallic finish as an accent.

08 · Who is it for?
Who is the QK60 HE Prebuilt for?
For gamers
You want rapid trigger, 8000 Hz and ready-made VALORANT and CS profiles in a compact board – and plenty of desk space for your mouse.
For custom fans without build time
You want an aluminium case with a leaf-spring gasket mount instead of a plastic gaming board, but don't want to build it yourself – switches and keycaps are already on.
More compact boards are in 60% keyboards, more magnetic boards in Hall effect keyboards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the QK60 HE Prebuilt.
Is the QK60 HE Prebuilt ready to use out of the box?
Yes. It arrives fully assembled with QwertyKeys magnetic switches and frosted PC keycaps already installed. A USB-C cable is included, so you can connect it and start using it without building or soldering.
What is the difference between Hall effect switches and regular mechanical switches?
The QK60 HE uses magnetic Hall effect switches to detect key travel rather than relying on a traditional mechanical contact. This enables adjustable actuation and rapid trigger, which resets a key as you release it.
Does the QK60 HE support 8000 Hz polling and rapid trigger?
Yes. The QK60 HE is specified with an 8000 Hz polling rate, 0.06 ms latency and 0.001 mm rapid-trigger sensitivity across the full key travel. Actual performance can depend on your setup.
Do I need to install software to customise the keyboard?
No. Its web-based driver runs in a compatible browser. You can adjust actuation, rapid trigger, dead zones, per-key RGB and advanced functions such as SOCD and DKS. Work, VALORANT and CS profiles are preloaded.
Is the QK60 HE wireless, and what layout does it use?
The QK60 HE Prebuilt is a wired USB-C keyboard with a compact 60% ANSI layout. It has no dedicated function row, arrow cluster or navigation keys; those functions are accessed through the Fn layer.
