Keychron has revealed the G25 HE, a lightweight wireless gaming mouse featuring Hall-effect magnetic switches, adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger support. Announced through the company’s official X account on November 10, 2026, the new mouse combines a compact symmetrical design with a reported 46g weight and high-performance tracking hardware.
The Keychron G25 HE follows the company’s G6 HE gaming mouse, bringing similar magnetic-switch technology to a smaller chassis. Although Keychron has not yet published a dedicated product page or complete official specification sheet, gaming mouse comparison platform EloShapes has listed the G25 HE with detailed dimensions, sensor information and connectivity specifications.
The G25 HE measures 120 × 63 × 39 mm, making it shorter and lower than the G6 HE, which measures 123.7 × 63 × 41 mm. Its symmetrical profile resembles the Razer Viper Mini and Razer Cobra, with a compact body, two side buttons positioned for right-handed use and a partially open bottom plate.
According to the EloShapes listing, the G25 HE weighs 46g and uses a PixArt PAW3955 optical sensor paired with a Nordic 54LM20A microcontroller. The listed specifications include sensitivity up to 40,000 DPI, a maximum polling rate of 8,000Hz, tracking speeds of 750 inches per second and acceleration support up to 60G.
The 8K polling capability allows the mouse to report its position to a connected PC up to 8,000 times per second when operating at its maximum supported rate. Actual responsiveness depends on the connection, system configuration and game, and the G25 HE has not yet undergone independent performance testing.
The most distinctive feature is Keychron’s MagOptic switch technology, which combines optical detection with Hall-effect magnetic sensing. Unlike conventional mouse switches that rely on a fixed electrical contact point, the magnetic sensing system supports adjustable actuation distances and Rapid Trigger functionality.
Adjustable actuation lets users configure how far a mouse button must travel before registering an input. Rapid Trigger dynamically resets activation as the button moves back toward its resting position, potentially allowing quicker repeated inputs without requiring the button to return to a fixed reset point.
The MagOptic switches also retain a mechanical click leaf and tactile bump, preserving physical feedback while incorporating magnetic sensing. However, the effect of that mechanical resistance on actuation consistency and Rapid Trigger performance remains unverified for the G25 HE.
Similar adjustable-actuation technology has become increasingly common in competitive gaming keyboards. Devices such as the Razer Reclusa Mini 65% magnetic keyboard and MCHOSE Ace68 V2 demonstrate how manufacturers are bringing Rapid Trigger features to gaming peripherals.
For connectivity, EloShapes lists both 2.4GHz wireless operation and wired USB-C support, with no Bluetooth connectivity indicated. This differs from the G6 HE, which officially supports Bluetooth alongside its wired and 2.4GHz wireless modes. The G25 HE also features an optical scroll-wheel encoder and MagOptic main switches rated for 100 million clicks.
Keychron has not confirmed the G25 HE’s retail price, release date, battery capacity or expected battery life. Details about its software configuration options and regional availability also remain to be confirmed.
The G25 HE expands Keychron’s range of Hall-effect gaming mice with a compact alternative to the G6 HE. Its reported combination of a 46g chassis, PAW3955 sensor, 8K polling and adjustable magnetic switches makes it relevant to competitive PC players seeking a smaller mouse, although its practical performance and final specifications will require further verification once the product becomes available.
