Review on 🔑 Keychron K8: Wireless Bluetooth/USB Wired Mechanical Keyboard with Hot-swappable Tenkeyless Design, RGB LED Backlit Gateron Brown Switch, and Aluminum Frame - Compatible with Mac and Windows by Damon Fields

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Wired/wireless and near perfect

Pros: - Works great with Linux - Support for Mac/standard keyboard layouts - Wired for gaming and extreme use - Wireless for occasional gaming or programming in the chair - Battery never runs out . It seems to shut itself down gracefully and sleep for a bit while idling. - Hotkey replacement. I've only worn out 1 mechanical key witch in my life, but at least I can use it to buy a small set of key witches instead of replacing the keyboard with a single switch (or if you want to make a mix of switches - keycaps. which it comes with , seems to be of decent quality Cons: Sometimes it takes a little longer than I expected to connect to Bluetooth (like 10-15 seconds on Linux) - Tenkeyless, I wanted this setup with a full-size keyboard, but this works - can't find a good hardshell I'll probably consider making it from another brand's generic use case instead.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Infinitely sluggish
