A gaming mouse may work right out of the box, but its default settings will not suit every player, game, or task.
DPI that feels comfortable in one game may feel too slow in another. Side buttons can be reassigned to shortcuts, macros, or in-game commands. Polling rate can also be adjusted for competitive play or system performance. Keychron Launcher makes these settings easier to access through a browser.
In this guide, you’ll learn what you can customize, how to adjust the G6 HE, and how Keychron Launcher compares with a traditional desktop configurator.
What Can You Customize With the Keychron Launcher?
Performance is not defined by DPI alone. Button assignments, polling rate, macros, sensor behavior, and click response can all affect how the mouse feels in your hand—and how it performs in different games.
Keychron Launcher brings these settings together in a browser-based interface.
How to Customize the G6 HE With the Keychron Launcher?
The G6 HE’s MagOptic switch combines optical triggering with Hall Effect magnetic sensing. In Keychron Launcher, users can switch between two distinct operating modes: Optical Mode and Magnetic Mode.
In Magnetic Mode, choose from 12 actuation steps within 0.6 mm of total travel and fine-tune Rapid Trigger across 11 adjustable steps for faster, more responsive repeated clicks. Left and right buttons can be adjusted together or independently.

How to Configure HE Mode?
Opening HE Mode
Access the MagOptic Switch controls from the HE Mode section in Keychron Launcher.
Choosing Optical or Magnetic Mode
Magnetic mode enables adjustable actuation points and Rapid Trigger, while Optical mode uses a fixed trigger point. Learn more about Optical and Magnetic Mode
Adjusting the Actuation Point (Magnetic Mode)
A shallow setting prioritizes speed, while a deeper setting helps prevent unintended clicks.
Configuring Rapid Trigger (Magnetic Mode)
Rapid Trigger dynamically resets the button according to its current position, enabling faster repeated inputs.
Adjusting the Left and Right Buttons Independently
Independent adjustment allows each primary mouse button to use its own trigger configuration.
HE Mode allows a compatible MagOptic mouse to adapt to different games, tasks, and clicking preferences. Optical Mode offers a straightforward fixed response, while Magnetic Mode provides more control over actuation depth and reset behavior.
There is no single configuration that works best for everyone. Start with moderate settings, test them in Launcher, and adjust one level at a time until the buttons respond the way you want.
Keychron Web Launcher vs. Traditional Desktop Mouse Software
Both traditional desktop software and Keychron Launcher let you customize your mouse, but the way you access them is different. Traditional software needs to be downloaded, installed, and updated on your computer, while Keychron Launcher runs directly in a supported browser—no dedicated desktop app required.
Make the Mouse Truly Yours
The best gaming mouse is not simply the one with the highest specifications. It is the one that responds naturally, fits the way you play, and stays out of your way when the action begins.
Keychron Launcher makes that experience easier to shape—and easier to revisit whenever your games, workflow, or preferences change.

Frequently Asked Questions About G6 HE and Keychron Launcher
Which browsers support Keychron Launcher?
Please use the latest version of Chrome / Opera / Edge to open the Launcher and connect the mouse to your device via wired or 2.4 GHz mode. (Some models only support a wired connection when using the Launcher)
What is the difference between Optical Mode and Magnetic Mode?
Optical Mode uses a fixed trigger point for a familiar and consistent click response. Magnetic Mode enables adjustable actuation points and Rapid Trigger, giving you more control over when each click activates and resets. The best option depends on your game, clicking style, and preferred response.
What is Rapid Trigger on the G6 HE?
Rapid Trigger dynamically resets the mouse button according to its current physical position instead of relying on a fixed reset point. This can allow faster repeated inputs in games where quick clicking and rapid button resets are important.
How should I set the G6 HE actuation point?
A shallow actuation point responds earlier and can feel faster, while a deeper actuation point helps reduce unintended clicks. Start with a moderate setting, test it in your usual games, and adjust one step at a time. The left and right mouse buttons can be configured independently.
What polling rate should I use for the G6 HE?
A 1,000 Hz polling rate is a practical starting point for most systems and games. Higher settings such as 4,000 Hz or 8,000 Hz can provide more frequent input updates, but the benefit depends on your CPU, monitor refresh rate, game, and battery requirements.
