Hi everyone!

This is gonna be my review about the Keychron J8 HE 8K. I have not received it by Keychron, I bought it from my own money. As per my background, I'm a highly competitive player in Immortal 3 in Valorant. Before that, I played CS (since cs1.6) and ranked at FaceIT lvl 10. My previous keyboard was a Cooler Master CK720 among some others. I only was able to try a Wooting 80HE at my friend's place for a good amount of times, but I didn't want to pay that much for it. Although I do stand by that, HE keyboards are the future and this keyboard verifies that.

Keychron made a huge statement with this keyboard, selling it for 80 euros. I was waiting a long time to someone finally release a great wired HE keyboard which doesn't cost much.

It has linear HE switches, which are pre-lubed and called the "Ultra-fast Lime Magnetic Switches". They are definitely not loud and the sound and feel are marvelous. Typing and playing with it is a dream come true to me. My first ranked game, I ended up with 26/5/10. Jiggle peeking/strafing with it was a breeze. It was very very satisfactory. I cannot recommend it enough for FPS games.

As per Keychron, the start force of the switches are 30gramms , the end force are 55gramms and have a 0.01mm sensitivity. The switches lifespan are 100 million. By stock the switches feel already pretty great, I have not changed anything in the software. Very well done with the stock settings.

The keycaps feel incredibly good, nothing like what I used before. They are called "Cherry Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps". I really took a liking to them.

There's also a bottom case acoustic foam and beneath that, another PET film. I do not use anything under the keyboard and the sound is already dampened pretty well. I like to see manufacturers who already mod the keyboard before-hand like pre-lubing the switches and put foam inside the keyboard.

Not going to lie, I do think the Keychron J8 HE 8K is a huge banger and it strongly delivers. If Keychron is going to stick to the 80 euros / 100$ price, this will sell like hotcakes. I saw that on their website, it's already sold out. I purchased this in Hungary as you can see it has a Hungarian layout and saw some good reviews on some Hungarian websites already.

Hope this helps anyone who wants to buy a cheap but great HE keyboard! If you have any questions, I will do my best answering them!
