Pros & Cons
Pros
The keychron k8 is a fantastic keyboard. The keyboard is very sturdy and switches feel amazing. I strongly recommend this keyboard to those that are picky like i am.
The layout is excellent because it is still relatively compact. If you want a ten-key less, this is the best possible layout. The only real complaint is that the backspace key is a little funky. The key caps are thinner than some but do not feel light... Read More
The keyboard has a physical switch for bluetooth or wired mode. This is very convenient if you're a programmer using a windows pc. It lets you type on a device that you're debugging and then right back to the pc.
Leds are bright, decent color options. Overall appearance is the clean water cup while doing watercolors - kinda rainbow muddy. The keyboard light has three brightness settings and they illuminate everything great.
Cons

Keychron's keychron keyboard has poor bluetooth and poor battery life. You can't customize the backlights or the keystroke patterns. The battery life is also very suspect.
Highlights

Buildthe build quality is excellent: very solid and quite heavy.

Packaging/appearance
The fn key is nicely out of the way.
I replaced my razer huntsman mini with this as the huntsman typing expereince was not what i was looking for.
Competitiveness
Keychron, i don't know how you can make such an amazing product at a low cost compared to your competitors but you've got yours... Read More
I got some cheapy generic keycaps to customize some of my keys - they fit just fine.
Firstly, the keycaps aren't textured and feel a little slick for lack of a better term.
Other than that; excelent first mechanical keyboard.
