Lemokey L5 HE 8K Keyboard announced, features 8K polling and scan rate with 0.01mm sensitivity – Kickstarter running now

From Press Release:
Lemokey, a brand of Keychron, introduces the Lemokey L5 HE 8K Magnetic Switch Custom Gaming Keyboard, a product designed to redefine gaming and typing experiences. Featuring the world’s leading ultra-low-latency technology, the L5 HE 8K delivers instant responsiveness, extreme precision, and advanced customization. With an 8000 Hz polling and scan rate, adjustable actuation points, and a robust full-metal design, this keyboard seamlessly combines exceptional accuracy, durability, and a cyberpunk aesthetic, making it a must-have tool for competitive gamers aiming to dominate the industry

For competitive gamers, speed and precision are everything. Many existing keyboards suffer from high latency, inconsistent key actuation, and limited customizability, leading to missed actions and a lack of personalization. These issues can be detrimental during high-stakes gameplay, where even the smallest delay or error can decide the outcome. The Lemokey L5 HE 8K is designed to eliminate these challenges and provide gamers with the ultimate edge.
The Lemokey L5 HE 8K addresses these pain points with a combination of cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design:
Hall Effect Magnetic Switches: These non-contact switches ensure durability and customizable actuation points, offering responsiveness tailored to individual preferences.
- Ultra-Low Latency: An 8K polling rate and 8K scan rate deliver a professional-grade latency of just 0.125ms. This ensures immediate keystroke registration, giving gamers a competitive edge.
- 0.01mm Sensitivity: The keyboard’s precise scanning capability ensures unparalleled accuracy, detecting movements as small as 0.01mm.
- Rapid Trigger Functionality: Keys activate and deactivate based on travel distance, allowing seamless repetition of keystrokes.
- Dynamic Keystrokes and Multi-Action Keys: Assign up to four actions to a single key based on press depth, enabling personalized control for complex gaming strategies.
- LKP and Snap Click: Last Keystroke Prioritization ensures smooth directional changes, while Snap Click prioritizes deeper key presses in simultaneous actions.
- Customization via Lemokey Launcher: The web configurator allows users to remap keys, create macros, and customize RGB backlighting with 22 modes, ensuring optimal productivity and style.
- Analog Joystick Mode: A built-in joystick provides smoother and more comfortable control for clutch movements.
- Durable Design: A CNC-machined aluminum body and Cherry Profile double-shot PBT keycaps ensure longevity and a premium typing feel. Pre-lubed plate-mounted stabilizers deliver a wobble-free typing experience.
- Switchable Mounting Styles: With switchable top and gasket mounts, you can easily switch between top mount and gasket mount at any time, for a feel that’s ideal for your specific use.
