Review on πŸ’» Experience Ultimate Typing with Keychron K8 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard - Gateron Red Switch, RGB LED Backlit, Aluminum Frame - Perfect for Mac and Windows by Bob Jensen

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great keyboard for the money. Be VERY careful if you plan to swap out switches.

I have to say that this keyboard has everything I like. Physical on/off Bluetooth button. Can be used on Windows MAC or Android. You have the option to use almost any mechanical switch you can think of in this keyboard. If you're considering swapping switches, there are a few things to keep in mind. When removing old switches, use the gentle rocking method with some upward force. When pulling up, try not to use your whole arm, just use your wrist so the movements are small. When adding switches, place the pin headers as a whole. If you do this while using a website to see if the keyboard is being pressed, it's easy to tell when it's making contact. If you can only get one side of the pins and see that the switch works in your program, you can take your thumb and push the switch all the way down. I can't put soft accents. It is very easy to bend pins. If you are too rough you can break the pin header on the motherboard. At this point you will likely need an RMA.
