Gaming keyboards come in all shapes and sizes, but finding one that combines serious performance features with a little personality can be a different challenge. Some are all about competitive speed, others concentrate on flashy lighting, while plenty simply look like another piece of gaming hardware fighting for attention on your desk. The EPOMAKER Human: Fall Flat HE108 White takes a rather different approach.
Created in collaboration with the wonderfully chaotic physics-based game Human: Fall Flat, this special edition brings the game’s playful world to your desktop. Its white and blue colour scheme, character-inspired artwork and themed keycaps give it an identity that immediately separates it from the standard HE108 models. But this isn’t simply a novelty keyboard relying on a familiar gaming name. Underneath that cheerful exterior is a full-size Hall Effect keyboard with some seriously impressive technology.
We’re talking adjustable actuation, Rapid Trigger, Snap Key, Dynamic Keystroke, an 8,000Hz polling rate and tri-mode connectivity. That’s quite a collection of features, particularly for a keyboard that looks as though it might be more interested in having a laugh than chasing competitive gaming glory.
So, let’s take a closer look.
A little Human: Fall Flat personality
The first thing that deserves attention is the collaboration itself. The HE108 White belongs to EPOMAKER’s Human: Fall Flat FALLEN Series, celebrating the game’s tenth anniversary and bringing its distinctive visual style into the world of gaming peripherals.
The white and blue colour palette takes inspiration from the game’s dreamy skies and cloud-filled environments, while the familiar little Human characters bring plenty of personality to the keyboard. Themed illustrations appear across selected keycaps, and even the legends take inspiration from the game’s distinctive visual identity. The Escape key is another thoughtful touch, drawing inspiration from the exit signage found between levels.
It’s a design that feels connected to the game rather than simply having a logo added to an otherwise ordinary keyboard. That matters, particularly for fans who appreciate accessories that celebrate the games they enjoy.
And the best thing? It doesn’t sacrifice its identity as a practical keyboard. The 108-key full-size layout remains intact, complete with a dedicated number pad, function row and navigation keys. It should therefore feel familiar to anyone moving from a traditional desktop keyboard, while the themed details give it something a little more interesting to look at.
The white finish is particularly attractive, although the overall effect will naturally appeal more to fans of the game than those looking for a completely understated desktop setup. Personally, I think it’s a refreshing change from the aggressive styling that still dominates plenty of gaming accessories.
Hall Effect technology takes centre stage
Of course, the artwork is only part of the story. The real attraction for PC gamers is the technology sitting underneath those themed keycaps.
The HE108 uses EPOMAKER’s Creamy Jade Hall Effect magnetic linear switches. Unlike conventional mechanical switches, which rely on physical electrical contacts, Hall Effect switches use magnetic sensors to detect key movement. This allows the keyboard to recognise how far a key has travelled and gives users much greater control over when an input registers.
The HE108 offers adjustable actuation from 0.1mm to 3.3mm, with adjustments available in incredibly fine 0.005mm increments. In everyday terms, you can decide how far a key needs to move before it activates.
For competitive gaming, that flexibility can be particularly useful. A player might prefer a very shallow actuation point for movement keys, allowing inputs to register with minimal travel. For other keys, a deeper setting could help reduce accidental presses. Being able to customise individual keys means the keyboard can be adjusted around the way you play rather than forcing you to accept one fixed configuration.
The magnetic switches are also hot-swappable with compatible Hall Effect alternatives, offering some room for future customisation. Just remember that magnetic switches aren’t universally interchangeable with conventional mechanical switches, so compatibility needs checking before buying replacements.
Rapid Trigger and Snap Key – made for responsive gaming
One of the headline features is Rapid Trigger, and it’s easy to see why this has become such a talking point among competitive PC gamers.
With a traditional mechanical keyboard, a key generally needs to return past a fixed reset point before another press can register. Rapid Trigger changes that behaviour, allowing a key to reset dynamically as soon as it begins travelling upwards.
That can be useful in games where rapid, repeated inputs are important. Fast-paced shooters, rhythm games and competitive titles can all benefit from having more control over how quickly a key can activate and reset. It won’t magically improve anyone’s aim, but it gives players another way to fine-tune their equipment.
Then there’s Snap Key, EPOMAKER’s name for its SOCD functionality. This deals with opposing directional inputs being pressed simultaneously, allowing the keyboard to apply a configured priority rather than leaving conflicting commands unresolved. For players who rely on precise movement, that’s a useful addition.
The HE108 also supports Dynamic Keystroke (DKS) and Mod Tap (MT). These features allow different actions to be assigned depending on how far a key is pressed or whether it’s tapped or held. That means a single key can potentially perform multiple functions, offering additional flexibility when setting up controls.
There’s certainly plenty to explore here. Casual players may never need to touch every setting, but those who enjoy getting into the finer details of their gaming equipment will appreciate the options.
8,000Hz polling and impressive response figures
EPOMAKER has also equipped the HE108 with an 8,000Hz polling rate when connected through USB or its 2.4GHz wireless receiver.
Polling rate refers to how frequently a keyboard reports its inputs to the connected device. At 8,000Hz, the theoretical reporting interval is 0.125 milliseconds. The advertised response figures are 0.2ms over USB and 0.4ms using 2.4GHz wireless, while Bluetooth operates at a lower 125Hz polling rate.
Those numbers certainly look impressive on paper, although it’s worth remembering that a high polling rate isn’t an automatic guarantee of a better gaming experience. Your PC, display, game and other hardware all play a part in overall responsiveness.
Nevertheless, combining 8,000Hz polling with adjustable actuation and Rapid Trigger makes the HE108 an appealing option for players who want to take their keyboard performance seriously. It has the technology to compete in a market where speed and precision are increasingly important.
A smoother, more considered typing experience
A gaming keyboard shouldn’t be judged solely on how quickly it registers an input. Most of us spend plenty of time typing, browsing and working between gaming sessions, so comfort and sound are important too.
EPOMAKER has given the HE108 a gasket-mounted construction, supported by five layers of sound-dampening materials, including PORON, IXPE and latex. The flex-cut FR4 PCB and PC plate are designed to work alongside those layers to reduce unwanted vibration and create a more controlled typing experience.
The Creamy Jade switches are factory-lubricated, while the Cherry-profile double-shot PBT keycaps provide a durable finish. PBT is generally favoured for its resistance to the shiny, worn appearance that can develop on keycaps after prolonged use.
The combination is designed to produce a deeper, smoother sound rather than the hollow clatter sometimes associated with mechanical keyboards. The gasket construction also aims to provide a softer feel beneath the fingers.
The switches have a total travel of approximately 3.3mm, with a trigger force starting at 30gf and a maximum bottom-out force of 55gf. That’s worth considering if you’re particular about the feel of your keys. Some users will enjoy the responsive nature of the magnetic switches, while others may prefer a longer travel distance or a different resistance.
The HE108 is clearly intended to cover gaming and everyday typing, and its construction suggests EPOMAKER has put thought into both sides of that experience.
Connectivity, battery and everyday convenience
Another welcome feature is the choice of three connection methods. The HE108 supports USB-C wired connectivity, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.0, giving users flexibility depending on their setup.
The 2.4GHz connection is the one to consider for wireless gaming, particularly given its advertised 8,000Hz polling rate. Bluetooth is more suited to general use and connecting compatible devices, while USB-C provides the straightforward wired option.
Power comes from a substantial 10,000mAh rechargeable battery. EPOMAKER quotes up to 32 hours with RGB lighting enabled and up to 500 hours with the lighting switched off. Naturally, actual battery life will depend on usage, lighting and connection settings, but it’s a generous capacity for a full-size wireless keyboard.
There are three adjustable typing angles too, giving users the choice of 6, 8 or 10.5 degrees. It’s a small detail, but being able to find a comfortable position can make a difference during longer sessions.
The keyboard weighs approximately 1.2kg and uses a thick ABS plastic case. It isn’t a metal-bodied design, but the weight should help it remain stable on a desk.
Software and customisation
To get the most from the HE108, you’ll want to spend some time with EPOMAKER’s software.
The driver provides access to key mapping, macro recording, RGB lighting and the more advanced Hall Effect settings. This is where you can adjust individual actuation points, configure Rapid Trigger, experiment with SOCD behaviour and make use of DKS and Mod Tap.
There’s plenty to explore, which is great for players who enjoy tailoring their hardware. Those who prefer a simple plug-in-and-play experience may find the number of options a little daunting at first, but the flexibility is a major part of what makes the HE108 interesting.
The per-key RGB lighting adds another layer of customisation, allowing you to choose how your keyboard looks alongside how it behaves. The white and blue Human: Fall Flat theme already gives this edition plenty of character, but the lighting offers further opportunities to personalise the setup.
Final Verdict
The EPOMAKER × Human: Fall Flat HE108 White is a lovely example of how a gaming accessory can combine personality with serious technology.
The collaboration gives it an identity of its own. The white and blue colour scheme, themed keycaps and little visual touches inspired by Human: Fall Flat make it considerably more interesting than another generic white keyboard. Fans of the game will have an obvious reason to take notice, but the real appeal goes much further than the artwork.
Underneath sits a capable full-size Hall Effect keyboard, offering adjustable actuation, Rapid Trigger, Snap Key, DKS, Mod Tap and an 8,000Hz polling rate. The gasket-mounted construction, sound-dampening layers, factory-lubricated magnetic switches and double-shot PBT keycaps also show that EPOMAKER has considered the everyday experience, rather than concentrating entirely on competitive specifications.
It’s not without considerations. The US ANSI layout may take some getting used to for UK buyers, the software has plenty of settings to explore, and Hall Effect switches won’t suit every typing preference. The more advanced features will also be of greater interest to competitive players than those who simply want a keyboard for occasional gaming.
But there’s a lot to like here. EPOMAKER has taken a familiar full-size format, given it a playful identity and backed it up with a feature set that means business.
The result is a gaming keyboard that manages to be both fun and seriously capable. And really, that’s a rather fitting combination for a collaboration with Human: Fall Flat.
