The cable that came with the keyboard was defective. I had to use another cable to charge the keyboard. Overall, I like the design of the keyboard.

Comfortable to use. Little bit to thick.

Works well, lotsa options for the backlighting, quality construction. Does what a keyboard should do.

I’ve had this for about 16 months now and it will no longer connect to Bluetooth. Very disappointing as Bluetooth was one of the biggest reasons I purchased the keyboard.
It was good while it lasted but I would not recommend a product that has to be replaced in less than a year and a half.

For most KVM switches, “Scroll Lock” is the hot key to switch between computers. Keychron K8 doesn’t have it. Users may appreciate new product features, but won’t be happy about removed standard functions.
I like some of the nice features: bluetooth, hotswap, RGB…etc, but no “Scroll Lock” key is a deal breaker to me.

Great keyboard when it worked. But down key stopped working. its working when it feels like. I found that it has something to do with the emitter and receiver. Seems like its not emitting or the signal isn’t strong. I believe this because when I removed the switch and flashed my flash light through it, the key would stop repeating. But when I my flash light away the key would repeat.
