Keychron Q1 HE 8K debuts, magnetic keys and speed steal the show

Keychron dropped the Q1 HE 8K with Hall effect switches that read magnetic fields instead of metal contacts, which lets you tweak actuation points and get instant key resets when you let up. The 65 percent layout keeps arrow keys around while the 8,000 Hz polling rate chases down input lag for people grinding ranked matches.

The board uses CNC aluminum construction with gasket mounting and sound-dampening layers to keep typing noise under control. Hot-swap sockets mean you can test different magnetic switches without breaking out a soldering iron, and the software handles remapping plus macro programming.
