Keychron K8 Pro QMK/VIA Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, Hot-Swappable Aluminum Frame TKL Custom Programmable Keyboard with RGB Backlit, Gateron G Pro Brown Switch for Max Windows Linux

I love my keyboard!!

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!

Good but its key rollover only gets up to 6 keys if you play rhythm games do not recommend. Its a good keyboard overall.

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.

Very satisfyed with this new version. Im linux user and this got improved the bluetooth stability. Feels solid and tidy. Great keyboard!

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!

Good like

Just amazing!!

I had some coworkers really encourage me to look at getting a mechanical keyboard, and Keychron was highly recommended as a great place to start. Initially I thought I wanted a 75% but quickly realized the shorter right shift was going to be problematic for me. I ended up going with the 80% or TKL and am completely blown away.. I wonder why I didn’t get into a mechanical keyboard sooner. I’m using wired currently attached to a usb switch so I can use it across multiple machines. The one thing to call out is that the keyboard is a chonky boy, you’ll want to get a keyboard wrist rest to help level things out. Love the VIA compatibility, it makes it very easy to program and set your custom keys and macros the way you’d like. I don’t think I could ever go back to using anything less on a day to day basis. 10 out 10 would recommend.

Works well, no problems
