Not bad, but not good enough

I have no particular complaints about this keyboard. Here I compare it to Keychron K1 v4 which I prefer. Cons: The low profile k1 makes it easy to switch to a laptop keyboard without trying to smash the laptop keyboard. The k8 has a certain tendency to press further + harder, which doesn't work well with the flat taps on a laptop keyboard. I never intentionally use the CapsLock key. Unfortunately, the CapsLock indicator is on the other side of the keyboard on the k8. On k1 v4 it's not far from the CL button. And I'm on some of the earlier versions of k1, it's right on top of the CapsLock key. The K8's brown keys become slightly sticky at unpredictable times, causing the character to be skipped. I don't see that with the blue K1. This cannot be intentionally reproduced. The brown k8 may just require better hand alignment, i.e. practice. Pros: The battery life of the k8 is better than that of the k1. Other: I am not commenting on the pros and cons that k1 and k8 have.
