The keys feel amazing to press. I’m surprised by how quiet it is. My last keyboard was very loud and the space bar was terrible. And this one was cheaper. I switched to all USB-C technology and it really makes me charging life easier.
My favorite keyboard so far. Looks really nice as well. All the features work like a dream. I wish I would of got a Keychron instead of a corsair for my last wireless keyboard.

I bought this keyboard early Sep 2021. Its end of Nov 2021 and the keyboard is having issues. When I press any key where o key is, it prints TABqwertyuiop[]\ so looks like the wiring got short circuited or something for the 3rd line in the keyboard. For $180 keyboard, its not worth it

Keychron’s products in general are a wonderful entry into the world of mechanical keyboards and the K8 is no exception. I purchased this as a gift for my sister, who loves the sound and feel of blue switches but isn’t sure if she wants to fully immerse herself in the hobby.
For this sort of entry it’s a perfect product, it has excellent features for both Mac and Windows, the bluetooth connection is solid, switching between environments is easy, and the quality of the keying feel is very good. This is a low-profile setup which is fine with me; essentially this is a great way to get into the world of mechanical keyboards on your way to having more opinionated and esoteric positions on exactly what you should sub in and mod where. After using this delightful keyboard for about three months (I have a similar Keychron that I’ve used for years), you’ll know whether this is good enough for you or if you want to delve further into the rabbit hole of mechanical keyboards.

Really happy with the quality of the keyboard. Have not found any flaws and keys feel really satisfying to press.
I only with I had done more research on the keyboard and bought the pro version as that comes with a metal frame and replaceable key switches.

Extremely tactile, mechanical feel to this keyboard and oh the lovely sounds of clackity clack as I type. It took a bit to get used to typing on a 60% keyboard, but after a few days I did a typing test and knocked out 149 WPM, so it works well!
Lighting is appealing, somewhat more subtle than some of the intense RGB options I’ve seen out there, and lots of configurations to choose from.
Solid construction, well built. Great Keyboard!

everything about it is nice but the Bluetooth doesn’t work very well with my pc. It could be that my motherboard has very cheap onboard Bluetooth so i wish it came with a USB dongle instead and a software for custom lighting effects
Nick Verified Buyer –
The space bar squeaks I think from non lubricated stabilizers. Its annoying but the keyboard overall is nice enough.

Multi color lights is awesome
Gabriel Verified Buyer –
I really was missing out on mechanical keyboards, thinking they were just for enthusiasts of this type of peripherals and gamers.
You can type for ages in this bad boy, I’m a computer programmer so believe me that the difference is light and day. Forget about the sensory experience of typing that mechanical keyboard aficionados will talk about, with this keyboard’s red switches, the smaller force you have to apply to action the keys will be felt in your hands after the working day.
Great value, the battery lasts forever, works without a hitch, I love it.

I bought this keyboard for my son, I liked it so much I thought about getting one myself. On my setup I have the logitech mx mechanical keyboard, one of the best and most expensive keyboards you can buy; however, the keychron keyboard costs less than half the price of the logitech and I liked is as much if not even more. The typing sound, lights, battery life, everything feels and looks good. Definitely a great puchase!
