    The size and color are perfect! I love my new keyboard. After owning 2 razer keyboards I can really tell the difference between good and cheap quality and Keychron is definietly the right pick!

    My only disappointment is the space bar. The mechanical keys (with brown switches) are satisfying. But the space bar out-of-the box feels way too light, doesnt have resistance that matches the keys, and makes a high-pitched, hollow sound. I looked up some recommended fixes and ended up cutting some of the packaging foam to stick under the space bar. 50% improvement from just that and I no longer hate hitting the spacebar. Bluetooth stutters during games. I was prepared for that from online reviews. Im just using a cheap TP-link BT dongle. YMMV. I dont play too much, so its not a huge problem to plug it in when I do. + Awesome typing experience - Spacebar is easily upgraded with a pair of scissors and the packaging foam, but is the weakest part of this keyboard. Logitech wi-fi performed much better than this Bluetooth + dongle thing Im using.

    I wish the brown switch has a more tactile feeling and space button is loud

    The weight of the aluminium framing one is impressive. It feels sturdy and solid. General presentation is excellent. Fonts on the default keycaps are somewhat a mixed experience; while the contrast and the feeling is good, the font types itself and letter spacings doesnt feel top notch. Backlighting is under keys and caps arent transparent (just a precision). It is a Keychron and it feels like a Keychron. I will probably buy another one for the office so yes, its a good purchase for under 200$ keyb ;)

    This Keychron K8 Pro + Gateron Pro Brown is a good buy for me. What I liked about it: * Sturdy build quality, nice key cap feel, Mac support. * Feel good typing on this keyboard. What has been reported by some others about the space bar being too noisy - there is some truth to that. But this issue can be fixed by adding foam/poron slices underneath the space bar key’s hollow bottom side. I was able to make the usual loud keys (backspace, return, carts lock, shift, and space bar) quieter by applying O rings to the key cap stem. The improvement is audibly perceivable. Next I replaced the already quiet brown switches under the backspace & return key with a couple of those silent black siwitches. Now the backspace and return keys are satisfyingly quieter. So this keyboard is an above average and dependable workhorse straight out of the box, and is easily improved by adding O-rings under every key cap, plus foam inserts (anything to break up the sound waves bouncing back when the space key is depressed very quickly with force) would effectively dampen the nose level to acceptable levels. Without these mods, the K8 pro was already a great asset. With he simple additions, work became more enjoyable!

    I am honestly shocked at the quality of this keyboard out of the box. I bought to replace my K1, and was hugely impressed at how good this sounds out of the box, especially for $125. The stock keycaps are excellent and comfortable if you like OEM profile, although the SA shape may be something different if you arent used to using it (I prefer XDA profile, so they are a little tall for my liking but still great build quality). Configuring with VIA worked right out of the box, no issues. Just make sure youre using a DATA cable if not using the stock cable (NOT a charging one). The Gateron Brown Pro switches are fine for what they are -- basically linear switches with a minuscule little bump (which I actually dont mind). They are decently lubed, definitely a couple are a little scratchy but that is really getting nitpicky. They are perfectly fine for an out of the box experience. Stabilizers are probably the weakest part of the build, and thats saying something considering theyre about a 80% percent solution. Spacebar and shift keys sound perfect, really impressive job on these. Backspace is the problem child and doesnt sound great, although some of the rattle I get on it I think is from the switches so I cant put all of the blame on the manufacturing process. Gamer RGB is fine, I dont really care about the rainbow stuff. However, really great improvement was in the accuracy of the white color in the firmware from my K1 model -- side by side the older version is much more red which always bothered the heck out of me. Case is A++, the padding completely eliminates any ping or echoing. No disassembly or fiddling with cutting the foam in the packaging to fill it up. I would absolutely recommend this keyboard to anyone just digging into mechanical keyboards with a budget. This thing is incredible for the price.

    This is a great keyboard that feels premium and has an excellent typing feel. I have Brown Gateron MX style switchs that feel tactile and smooth, while not being too loud. The OSA profile keys are of a premium feel, but I will have to get use to them, as I am used to low-profile keys and a different key pattern. The entire keyboard has some nice weight to it with the aluminum frame parts, maybe a little to heavy to travel around with in a backpack though (not a mobile weight). While using the bluetooth typing, I did not notice any delay/lag in transmission or any connection issues. The south facing RGB lights look nice and has some good presets. You can download the JSON file and use VIA to fully customize the board and include MACROS. There are only two minor complaints I have: I wish the keys were shine-through backlit, as I am not the greatest touch typer in the dark. The second issue is that the battery charge light (Green when finished charging) will not turn off, even when full charged in wired mode, if you USB supplys power when the computer turns off. Some computers allow you to disable the USB Always On feature, but unfortunately my MOBO does not. Overall a premium entry-level keyboard with a feel of longevity, especially since the switchs are hot-swappable. Good buy!
