I’ve spent the past month testing Keychron’s concrete keeb and it’s absolutely brilliant, with one small sticking point
PC Gamer hardware writer Andy Edser has spent the past month testing the Keychron K2 HE Concrete Edition keyboard, a new variant built upon the company’s popular K2 HE model which previously earned an 88% score in PC Gamer’s review.
The Concrete Edition distinguishes itself through the addition of a concrete shell designed to add substantial weight to the keyboard while providing an industrial aesthetic. Keychron’s marketing materials make ambitious claims about the product, describing how “each keystroke carries industrial rhythm” while the concrete core combines with “marble-like smoothness and auditory-visual harmony.”
Edser conducted his evaluation during a demanding testing period that simultaneously involved benchmarking multiple graphics cards and performing overclocking experiments, providing insight into the keyboard’s durability and reliability under intensive computing conditions. The testing period was notably incident-free, with no hardware failures reported.
Despite the positive reputation of the original K2 HE model, the article’s title suggests that while the concrete variant is “absolutely brilliant,” there is at least one notable drawback or “sticking point” with the design. The specific nature of this issue is not detailed in the available excerpt, though it appears significant enough to warrant mention in the headline.
