Keychron Ultra-Fast Lime Magnetic Switch
The Keychron Q1 HE 8K comes with pre-lubed Keychron Ultra-Fast Lime 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. Made from POM material, it delivers an incredibly satisfying, soft, and thicky typing sound, enhancing every keystroke for a more enjoyable typing experience.


MAGNETIC SWITCH
ADVANCED TMR SENSORS
Equipped with cutting-edge Tunneling Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology to detect precise distance and magnetic field variations through subtle resistance shifts. Every key features a dedicated TMR sensor for superior resolution, delivering pinpoint accuracy, ultra-low latency, and an unparalleled magnetic switch input experience.
Magnetic Field Sensitivity: up to 100 mV/V/Oe
Magnetic Switch
Adjustable Actuation Point
Customize each key with precision, adjusting actuation points from 0.01 to 3.35 mm with 0.01 mm sensitivity. Set shallow keypresses for instant actions and deeper ones for deliberate engagement, minimizing accidental touches and giving you an edge in both gaming and typing.
Magnetic Switch
Last Key Priority (LKP) & Snap Click
LKP allows seamless directional changes by prioritizing the last key pressed, ensuring smoother gameplay in titles like Valorant. With Snap Click, deeper keypresses take precedence when two keys are hit at once, automatically resetting shallower presses.
*They are disabled by default, but you can easily enable them in our Launcher web app when needed.
Magnetic Switch
One Key. Multiple Actions
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,
Magnetic Switch
Dynamic Rapid Trigger
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.
Magnetic Switch
Analog Mode
Experience the power of Analog Mode on your Q1 HE 8K, 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 Q1 HE 8K 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.
LAUNCHER WEB APP
Program with QMK & Launcher.
With the Keychron Launcher web app, you can effortlessly remap keys, adjust actuation points, set the magnetic switches, and customize any macro command, shortcuts, or key combinations to enhance gaming or work efficiency. Take control and optimize your productivity like never before.
PRECISION
WIRED FOR 8K SPEED
The Q1 HE 8K achieves an 8K polling rate in wired mode, ensuring the lowest possible input lag and ultra-responsive performance. The stable, high-bandwidth wired connection is essential for reliably maintaining this high 8K data transmission speed.
POWERFUL ARM CORE
An Epic Core Inside The Keyboard
Engineered with a powerful chip (MCU) with 1MB flash, Q1 HE 8K offers extensive flexibility for customization and advanced functionality. It achieves an ultra-responsive 8K polling rate and up to 256KHz single-key scanning rate, ensuring every keystroke is registered with near-zero latency and exceptional accuracy for the most demanding gaming and professional tasks.
Customise
Satisfying Keyboard Acoustics
To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component to be able to assemble easily. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component as you wish.
Keymap
Elevate the typing experience with a combination of premium acoustic foams such as IXPE, PET, and Latex.
Top Case
A solid, premium aluminum body for a quieter, vibration-free typing experience.
Switch
The core mechanical component; different types (linear/tactile/clicky) offer unique feel and sound.
Plate
The soft mounts can help reduce vibration and noise and give a cushioned typing feel.
Sound Absorbing Foam
By absorbing echo and noise, the sound absorbing foam produces a cleaner typing sound.
PCB
The circuit board that registers keystrokes; hot-swappable versions allow easy switch changes.
EPDM Foams
The soft foams that can help reduce vibration and noise and give a cushioned typing feel.
Bottom Case PET Film
The soft PET foams that can help reduce vibration and noise and give a cushioned typing feel.
Bottom CASE
A solid, premium aluminum body for a quieter, vibration-free typing experience.
STABILITY
Suitable for All Devices
Built with the Mac users’ experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Q1 HE 8K 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.
CUSTOMIZE
OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps
It has a similar height to that of the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
CUSTOMIZE
HOT-SWAPPABLE
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.
CUSTOMIZE
Double-Gasket Design
It has a similar height to that of the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.
STABILITY
All New Screw-In PCB Stabilizers
The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less wobbly. The big keys’ (space bar, shift, enter, delete) typing experience is now more stable and smoother.
backlight
South-facing RGB LED Lights
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard.
