Perfect for my needs

I have a PC, a few Linux computers and a MacBook Pro on my desk and for the last 12 months I've gotten tired of having to use multiple keyboards. The Keychron K8 is great for me as I now have it paired to my MBP and Linux machines via Bluetooth while keeping it connected to my PC with the cable that came with it. Switching between systems is smooth and I prefer the keyless layout. I haven't tried swapping shortcut keys, but I'd happily replace the Gateron Blues with clickier switches like the Kailh Jades. I've read that the Gateron blues aren't very different from the Cherry MX blues, but they let me down. I think I prefer the Cherry MX blues and the cheap Outemu blues (they're in my old unnamed TKL keyboard), but I don't want to replace them all at once. The keyboard is too big for me, so I paired it with a HyperX wrist rest that I had lying around. I know I don't have many positive reviews for this keyboard, but it fits my needs and I've never had any problems with the bluetooth connection. A 5 star purchase for me for the price.

Pros
  • Sleek design
