What will you mostly use it for?
The HE108 has the clearest advantage for gaming that benefits from magnetic switches, Rapid Trigger, and high polling. The K10 Pro fits office and content work where media controls, layout selection, and remapping are useful. Programmers and modders are better served by the K10 Pro's QMK/VIA support and MX switch options. For travel, the HE108's larger listed battery and 2.4 GHz option are practical differentiators, although both boards are full-size.

“Even after constant use for several weeks, the switches show no deteriation to quality whatsoever. Very well built too, as the sound is unlike any other”
“I never recieved the Keyboard because it got lost in the arrival facility. The shipping company nor the manufacturer were helpful, but at least it was a free giveaway I won so I lost no money. It's a bummer I never got it though.”

Epomaker HE108 vs Keychron K10 Pro: your questions
The HE108 is the stronger fit for gaming that uses magnetic switch features, with Rapid Trigger, adjustable actuation, and SOCD, DKS, and MT functions. Its listed polling rate is 8000 Hz, while the K10 Pro lists 1000 Hz.
Yes, the HE108 uses magnetic Hall Effect linear switches. Its vendor description specifies adjustable per-key actuation and Rapid Trigger.
No, the HE108's magnetic switch sockets are for magnetic switches, and standard MX switches will not fit. The K10 Pro's hot-swappable version supports almost all 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches.
The K10 Pro lists QMK and VIA support, and Keychron describes using its Launcher web app for remapping and macros. The vendor says to connect by wire to use the Launcher.
The Keychron K10 Pro is available in ANSI and multiple ISO variants, including ISO-DE, ISO-UK, ISO-FR, ISO-ES, and ISO-SW. The HE108 is listed as ANSI only.
Both support Bluetooth and wired USB-C connections. The HE108 also supports 2.4 GHz wireless, while the K10 Pro's listed connectivity is Bluetooth and wired.
The HE108 has a listed 10000mAh battery, while the K10 Pro lists 4000mAh. Epomaker describes up to 500 hours of wireless use with RGB off, but that is a vendor-stated figure rather than a direct measure of typical use.
Hot-swapping depends on the K10 Pro version. Its hot-swappable version supports almost all 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style switches, but the vendor specifically notes that the black fully assembled version is not hot-swappable.
Both keyboards are listed with south-facing lighting. Their compatibility notes warn that shine-through legends may stay dark, and some sculpted keycaps can clip the LEDs.
The K10 Pro is a stronger starting point for MX switch changes and software customization, with hot-swappable options and QMK/VIA support. The HE108 can be hot-swapped with compatible magnetic switches, but its sockets do not accept standard MX switches.
The K10 Pro metadata lists a steel plate, and Keychron describes a steel plate in its typing-experience details. The vendor notes that the black fully assembled version lacks the sound-absorbing foam and silicone pad.
The K10 Pro is listed at 1495g, while the HE108 is listed at 1200g. Both are full-size keyboards, so neither is a compact travel layout.
