Review on 💻 Keychron K8 Tenkeyless Wireless Mechanical Keyboard for Mac: White Backlight, Bluetooth, Multitasking, Gateron Blue Switch, Type-C Wired Gaming Keyboard for Windows by Tio Kotaki

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much to like after a few days of use

Update: I've been using this for a few months now and love it so much! I seem to be having an issue using Bluetooth on my 2019 Macbook Pro. where it randomly repeats characters (e.g. 10 characters for 1 keypress) and once it starts doing it seems to be more frequent. When connected directly to a cable I have no problems so I just use it like that. Also, this keyboard saved me! My typing accuracy is back to where it was before they replaced the junk Apple keyboards about 5 years ago. For anyone wondering, this keyboard has been customized for Mac but has additional keys that you can swap out to make it compatible with Windows, so not having to choose one or the other is definitely a plus , if you're like me and live in multiple OS worlds. I initially had problems when I connected it to my Mac with a cable, it didn't recognize that a new keyboard was installed and some keys didn't work. After I set it up with Bluetooth, everything works fine. Okay, I've been using it for a few days, overall I really like it. I'm still adapting, but my typing accuracy has already improved a lot. I read another reviewer who complained that it seemed too thick and I agree it seems to be an aesthetic choice rather than a technical one. The thinner the better, within reason. The keys are also a bit noisy. They don't bother me but my wife who currently works one floor down hears this and is unhappy so consider your surroundings when choosing a switch. I may need to temporarily purchase another mechanical keyboard until it's back in the office full time.
