Keychron brings back gaming keypads with new Lemokey L0 HE

Keychron's gaming-focused brand, Lemokey, has just launched a new gaming keypad, a product we haven't seen from high-profile brands in some time. The new L0 HE 8K is a one-handed keyboard designed to provide gamers with a limited control set for their left hand, featuring the Hall Effect technology for reduced response times.

Unlike older gamepads that often used unique layouts, the L0 HE (via TechPowerUP) features 35 keys from the left side of a standard QWERTY keyboard. Additionally, a remappable metal knob on the right side allows you to configure it to your liking. At its core are the new Lime magnetic linear switches featuring a customisable actuation point (via web app) that can be adjusted in increments of 0.01 mm. The switches are topped with double-shot PBT keycaps that are opaque on top but have a transparent window on the side, allowing the south-facing RGB to shine through.

The L0 HE is a wired-only device via USB-C, which enables it to support an 8000 Hz polling rate. In addition, Lemokey boasts an impressive 256 kHz single-key scan rate, enabling near-instantaneous input detection. The chassis is built from a solid piece of CNC-machined aluminium and is packed with sound-dampening materials for a premium feel and sound.

Although it's hot-swappable, the L0 HE only supports Lime magnetic switches. The Lemokey L0 HE 8K is available in black with green accents for $159.99.
