In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Epic Core Inside The Keyboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brand new ultra-low-power MCU Arm structure that is powerful and armed with 128K Flash to provide more flexibility for developers. The polling rate is up to 1000 Hz out of the box, which makes latency non-existent for the competitive game.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitch layouts between macOS \u0026amp; Windows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with the Mac users' experience in mind while still retaining compatibility for Windows devices, the Keychron Q8 comes with a system toggle and an additional set of customized keycaps for both Windows and macOS systems.
