Forever change your gaming and typing experience with the Keychron K8 HE Magnetic TKL Keyboard (Black) (Gateron Nebula Switch) [Special Ed]. Merging the best of traditional mechanical keyboards with advanced magnetic tech, it delivers top-notch performance in a clean, minimalistic design with natural rosewood accents.
A fully customizable 80% layout wireless keyboard with magnetic switches a breakthrough in switch technology, which instead of physical contacts uses magnetic sensors to measure actuation depth, putting you in total control over the response of each and every switch.
The Special Edition offers two colorways, both with natural rosewood accents light wood for the white version and dark wood for the black version. Both editions feature OSA profile double-shot PBT keycaps and aluminum with wooden frames.
Keychron K8 HE comes with pre-lubed Gateron double-rail magnetic switches for an ultra-stable and ultra-responsive typing experience with an industry leading, lightning-fast response time, and precise control over the way your keyboard feels and responds. Jump into action with unmatched smoothness and stability.
Activate or deactivate keys based on how far they travel, not predefined points. This means immediate key reactions press to activate, release to reset allowing for faster, more precise keystrokes. In rapid gameplay, this translates to executing complex actions in real-time without delay, giving you a serious advantage during fast-paced sequences.
Thanks to Dynamic Keystrokes (DKS), you can now assign up to 4 distinct actions per key based on press depth. A light press moves your character, a deeper press makes them run, and releasing the key enables additional commands. This layered control lets you execute multiple moves with ease, streamlining gameplay while enhancing control and speed, making your reactions quicker and more precise.
Experience the power of Analog Mode on your K8 HE, bringing game controller-like precision to your keyboard. This mode enables variable inputs instead of the usual on/off signals, letting you achieve more fluid and dynamic control.
With each keypress, the K8 HE detects how far you press, translating it into different speeds and intensities. Enjoy nuanced control and heightened responsiveness in racing games, sports simulations, and more.
Experience peak gaming performance on the fly with the K8 HE's 2.4 GHz wireless connection boasting a rapid 1000 Hz polling rate. For seamless multitasking across your computer, phone, and tablet, you can effortlessly connect the K8 HE via Bluetooth 5.1 to three devices.
With pre-lubed switches, 3.5 mm thick EVA acoustic foam, EPDM foam, and a silicone pad inside the keyboard, the Keychron K8 HE delivers an exceptionally satisfying, soft, and thocky typing sound, enhancing your typing experience.
Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 256K flash and QMK open-source firmware to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is 1000 Hz out of the box in Type-C wired mode and 2.4 GHz mode, which greatly helps when competitively gaming.
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the K8 HE comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems. You can now save two different layouts on the keyboard, one for each system.
The PBT keycaps (shine-through cherry profile on the standard version, non-shine-through OSA profile for the special editions) will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
Unlike mechanical switches, which depend on physical contact, Hall Effect magnetic switches use magnets to detect key presses. It is effortless to swap out the switch with compatible Hall Effect magnetic switches.
*The K8 HE is compatible with the double-rail magnetic switches sold on the Keychron website only.
