Know before you buy
Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on physical contact points, these magnetic switches use Hall effect sensors to detect key presses. This allows for adjustable actuation points and rapid trigger functionality, which provides significantly faster response times for gaming.
You can customize the actuation point anywhere from 0.01mm to 4.0mm. A shorter distance allows for near-instant input, which is ideal for competitive gaming, while a longer distance can help prevent accidental key presses during casual typing.
The screen serves as a convenient interface for monitoring settings and includes a dedicated Switch Tester function. This allows you to fine-tune your key precision and verify switch performance directly on the keyboard without needing external software.
Yes, the hard gasket structure is designed to provide a more stable and consistent typing experience compared to traditional tray-mount keyboards. It balances structural rigidity with a refined feel, reducing unwanted vibrations during rapid keystrokes.
The Sikakeyb Castle HM80 HE is officially compatible with Windows 10 and higher. While it may function on other operating systems, advanced features like the rapid trigger customization and screen settings are optimized for the Windows environment.
The 8k native response rate significantly reduces input latency by polling the keyboard 8,000 times per second. While casual users may not notice the difference, competitive gamers will benefit from the improved responsiveness and reduced delay between a key press and the on-screen action.
