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.

Perfect

Astounded by the quality. Was looking for ages for parts to build a custom keyboard and found the perfect choice for an easy but yet so great product to buy, this keyboard

phenomenal

This keyboard is amazing

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!
