Does the Keychron K8 HE need special software?

Basic typing works immediately, but to unlock the K8 HE's full trick set — Rapid Trigger, actuation points, and analog tuning — you configure it through Keychron's web-based driver in a browser. No bloatware install is needed, and your settings save to the keyboard itself.

Is the Keychron K8 HE good for gaming?

Yes. Rapid Trigger, per-key adjustable actuation, and a high polling mode make the K8 HE genuinely competitive for FPS titles, while the tenkeyless 80% layout keeps desk space free. It's one of the few boards that games hard and still sounds great for daily typing.

Is the Keychron K8 HE wireless?

Yes, and that's rare. The K8 HE connects over 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, and USB-C — most Hall-effect keyboards are wired-only, so Keychron offering full wireless modes with the K8 HE is a genuine differentiator for tidy desks and couch gaming alike.
