My Honest Thoughts: Keychron K8 One Week Update

It's a great value. It's a really really really good price right now on kickstarter.

This wireless keyboard has THOCK! - Keychron K8 Pro

There, you guys have it., That's the K8 Pro from Keychron.

So I bought it... And didn't read over that that the optical switch version only supports optical switch. I'm sitting here with a bunch of zealios that I wanted to use on the k8. So right now, I messaged the people at keychron to see if I could send this one back for a gateron version, so here's to hoping they'll allow me to since I was willing to bare the shipping costs.

Ended up returning my Q2 (sadface) it has a deal breaker....

I have so say, everything about this keyboard is freaking amazing....build quality, sounds feel....its absolutley one of the best board i have ever touched....Previous to having this board....i was using a keychron k8 and gmmk tkl for work, and a Planck and Preonic for home use. This board was to replace my GMMK which has serious issues....my work is very dry and i static shock the keyboard very often...this caused the GMMK to basically power off and back on every time i touched the keyboard...

I also like the Keychron K8, but there isn't any software to control the RGB except the built in presets. Can I get some help/ recommendations for keyboards that I might like.

I also went in with the case foam which, it's hard to say how much of a difference it made as I'd only had the board about half an hour before I took it apart. Typing this post on the K8, I can honestly say it's the nicest keyboard I've ever used. I don't claim to be much of a keyboard expert, but I've used enough to know what's nice and what's not. And this, this is a really nice keyboard.
