> 3 dayJust received my Keychron K8 Pro with Gateron red pro switches and I have got to say it is an amazing keyboard. Going from a Logitech G512 Carbon with their blue switches to this keyboard is great! I was very easy to setup with Via and the unboxing experience was pleasant. So far the only downside if the lack of wrist rest but that is not the keyboards problem. I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a new keyboard!

Greater than one weekMany of my keys wouldnt register. Luckily it was a gift and Amazon approved my return. Going to get a replacement.

> 3 dayI dont do reviews too often. I have been on a hunt for a keyboard for far too long now. This is a nice beefy keyboard in terms of size and weight. Everything feels very high quality. I also really like the lighting effects and quality. I was a little worried that with the different key colors that you wouldnt be able to see the lighting as well, but the lights really shine through very clearly and they have some very high quality lighting effects. The bluetooth connectivity is excellent and the quick swap works perfectly. I am not a keyboard enthusiast so I cant really comment on the sound, which somehow is the most important thing to so many people for some reason. It does not feel like a cheap sound. This is going to be the keyboard I settle on, but there were a few things that I was not a fan of. Firstly, the keyboard is huge and sturdy, which is nice, but its just too tall. This keyboard pretty much calls for wrist support. Secondly, if I am spending all of this money, there is no reason why this keyboard should have ABS plastic plates on the back. It still feels just as sturdy as an aluminum plate, but it just feels like it is missing a simple premium feature. Finally, I think the color scheme is stupid. Its just not very appealing, which can be fixed, but then youll be spending even more money on keycaps when you already spent money on premium keycaps on this keyboard. No deal breakers, but I try to be objective. Its a fantastic keyboard, one of the best I have ever owned, but its short of perfect. Despite all that, I feel comfortable reviewing it as 5 stars.
