AnU Good Things Chapter 93: Keychron K8 Pro: Not just an iteration, but a strong upgrade

I didn't expect that after the K8, there would be a K8 PRO, which surprised me. Generally speaking, the design language is consistent with the previous generation. After using K8 for nearly a year, I am fortunate to get started with this upgraded model. After using it for a month or two, let me share with you my specific feelings.

The previous generation gave me the feeling of matte. This generation is more like the defogging in PHOTOSHOP. The problem that the fonts cannot be seen clearly at certain angles has been completely solved. It can be seen that this change is really listening to the voice of the user (uh, that user is me, I remember last year, I talked to the official website on the official channel feedback on this issue).

After the upgraded model of this generation came, it was a bright feeling. At the same time, the material was also upgraded differently. The texture of the metal frame is different. What's more special is that each part can be assembled by itself, from The keycap, shaft body, positioning plate, noise-reducing cotton interlayer, PCB, silicone pad and bottom case are all disassembled and assembled.

I am a heavy keyboard user. In addition to daily communication with customers, I also do evaluation and creation experience out of the box. This relies a lot on the keyboard. If the keyboard experience is not good, it will also affect the efficiency of my output. There are negative effects, especially when creating, sometimes when the inspiration comes, you will keep typing, and sometimes the movement is very large. If the keyboard is not stable enough, it is easy to move. Now after the design of this keyboard comes out, I look at the data, and the weight reaches 922g, which is stable. The size is 359.2*129.2*41.7mm. The new GATERON PCB satellite axis also allows the space bar, shift key, return key, etc. The typing of the car key and delete key is more stable and smooth, which can give good feedback for long-term use, which is really comfortable.

At the same time, combined with the ergonomic design, under the overall design of the two-stage foot support, the plane of the keyboard keys and the horizontal plane of the table form an angle of 6-9 degrees, which is beneficial to relieve the pressure on the fingers and wrists.

4000mAh lithium battery, longer lasting, of course, it will take a little longer when fully charged, it takes 6 hours, but the use time can be as long as 80 hours, about 3-5 weeks, which is enough for me, daily I don't have to worry about doing content creation at home. This is long enough for me to jump around! ! !

Keychron K8 Pro has a high degree of adaptability to MacOS and Windows ecology, and it is very convenient to switch between dual systems when using it. As far as personal creation is concerned, I would still prefer to create in the MacOS environment, but I cannot work without Windows. The environment, so the advantages of keychron are reflected. At the same time, it is equipped with a set of replacement Windows keycaps, which is convenient for users to adapt, but the main one is MacOS. The multimedia keys on the top are the same as the set on MacOS. It still looks like zero adaptation cost.

Personally, I have been switching back and forth between the two systems for a long time, and I am basically familiar with the differences between the two ecosystems, so there is nothing uncomfortable in using them. This time, under the connection of Bluetooth version 5.1, I connected the Honor Tablet 8, iPad, Macbook, and Mac mini at the same time, and the switching was really smooth. When entering the game mode, the wired connection mode can be used to make the response more efficient.

Keychron K8 Pro's independent lighting button makes the switching of lighting more free. I am more or less chasing (zhe) seeking (teng) for my daily work station and my own desk. Through the quick lighting switching button, I can Quickly switch to the mode you want, which is also a very comfortable function, 14 cool RGB lighting effects, make your creation full of color (really color), but sometimes when you need a more monotonous scene, you can also Turn it off, the energy can be colored and pure energy can be hidden, which is also a kind of dignity.

Different from the red switch of the previous generation, I chose the green switch of this generation. After more than a month or two months of use, although the trigger pressure is greater than that of the red switch and the brown switch, the sound is first-class, giving myself a different feeling. I said before that silence is the best choice for non-single people, but after experiencing it, I found that we still have to be responsible for our own creative inspiration. We can also find different spaces to let the sound of the green axis be released wantonly.

Keychron's K8 PRO this time. I personally think it is an evolutionary version of the K series, with a more textured design and a more scientific structural adjustment, which further improves the user experience on the basis of the previous generation. I have basically used red-axis keyboards before. , This time I specially bought the green switch for comparison, and the result is generally very satisfactory to me. I am sure that it is my next keyboard, and the next heavy use will probably have to be on it.
