Solid Keyboard

A solid product especially for someone like me who knows a little about mechanical keyboard but not everything- And customer service has been very helpful! The thing I like most is the size and shape. It kind of just blends into my desk seamlessly.

Features + Sound + Size +Price = Great Value!

Looking around for a TKL wireless keyboard the Keychron K8 kept coming up to the top of my shortlist. After reading a few reviews on Reddit I decided to order one. When it came in, the stock keycaps are nice, if a little thin. Even then, I had no problems connecting the board to my phone for some testing. Everything worked right out of the box, and the included instructions and extra keys for Windows/Mac/Android layouts are great. The sound is really nice, even without the aluminium frame. I did order some PBT keycaps, and put them on shortly after initial testing. The sound is now a bit more of a thock than a clack, and the feel of the dye-sub PBT has a nice thickness and texture on the key. I bought the K8 for use at work and to travel with, and I have gotten numerous compliments on the look and sound at work. The battery life is about 4 or 5 days for my use, which is a bit low in my opinion. That is why I took one star off. Overall, I am very happy with the purchase, the sound, and the feel. If they make a wireless Alice layout I will probably buy it immediately!

K8, RGB Backlight Aluminum Frame, Gateron G Pro Mechanical Brown switches

Can't overstate how much I love this keyboard. Visually, it's stunning from the unboxing to the lighting profiles. The Gateron mechanical switches are responsive, satisfying, and sound wonderful. Key replacement and cleaning is as easy as it gets.

If you don't know what switches you like, use it for a mix of heavy typing and casual gaming, or just want a pleasant sound that won't annoy others, get the brown switches. Get blue if you prioritize typing and live alone on half an acre. Supposedly red is best for heavy gaming.

The aluminum body was definitely worthwhile, making it feel sturdier, more stable, cool to the touch compared to plastic, and probably contributing to the sound profile.

The bassy taps drew my family, who had grown sick of my previous 6-year-old plastic, clicky, almost wheezy keyboard that I worked and played at for 10+ hours a day, and now they all want one.

Typed lovingly,
Satisfied Owner of Two, Likely Soon Three, Keychron K8s
