Review on ๐Ÿ’ป Keychron K8 Tenkeyless Wireless Mechanical Keyboard for Mac: White Backlight, Bluetooth, Multitasking, Gateron Blue Switch, Type-C Wired Gaming Keyboard for Windows by Devin Tanner

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I really wanted to like it

I tried different keyboards on paper and for the price this one seemed very good. I don't want to pay $200 for a keyboard just to get a backlight + bluetooth, but the build quality just isn't up to scratch. It's not very solid, it doesn't even lay flat on my desk, it wobbles in a little. It's also a bit finicky and noisy when typing. Keep in mind that these issues could probably be fixed with some simple, inexpensive mods. Also the material of the buttons, I know it's ABS and not PBT, but it has a coating that feels like soft plastic on a German car. It seems odd and collects oils from your fingers. I can't accept that because keycaps are expensive for some reason. If you buy double-shot PBT keycaps compatible with backlit switches, you can also buy them immediately, they have good instructions and they fit well with my Windows 10 PC. It can be paired with 3 devices and You can switch between them with the function keys. I also like the function keys with volume, screen brightness very much. TL; DR: The 2 fatal flaws are that it wobbles, doesn't lay flat on my desk, and has a coating on the keycaps.
