Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The factory keycaps feel well made and don't make a ton of noise on their own. The only fault i would point out is the longevity of the stock keycaps, as they are printed over a clear interior to make them shine-through capable, but are susceptible to... Read More

Gateron red switches are very responsive and do not make too much noise. Not overly loud or clicky with browns, just right. Gaterons are quieter than the cherry reds, although so far i think i might like the overall feel of the cherry switches a bit b... Read More

Some people might want a wrist rest. They aren't as tall and they are cheaper. In general it seems to be difficult to find decent keyboard options for macs.

Hot-swappable keyboard is convenient for gaming. I can customize as needed. If you want a thinner keyboard keychron sells the k1 model with low profile switches.

Cons

Product is pre-alpha so it's not ready for prime time. You will be correcting repeat keys and sometimes get annoyed when backspace sticks. Bluetooth constantly drops and takes 10 seconds to restore. The keyboard is also fairly high profile which might... Read More

The keychron k8 is a great fit for me, since i have now paired it over bluetooth with my mbp and the linux machines, while i ke... Read More

Mine arrived with the pgdn key not lighting up.

While the high and the quality of the keycaps are an issue, they can be easily fixed.

Price

Really reccommend if you want a good stock tkl keyboard or id you want to get into custom keyboardd building on a budget.

In the end, the asking price is still very fair for what you get.

Packaging/appearance

I haven't tried hot-swapping the keys, but i'd like to switch out the gateron blues for some more clicky switches like the kailh jades.

Competitiveness

The height of the keyboard is a bit too much for me, so i have paired it with a hyperx wrist rest that i had lying around.

It sounds great stock but adding some pe foam, tape, and some cheap doubleshot pbt keys and i get all the thock i could want.
