Handsome and able to play -- keychron k8 start experience

I bought this keyboard for my wife, and I gave her a little yellow duck keyboard before.

As a result, the keyboard was very scratchy, and it broke soon. Fortunately, it was under warranty, but when I sent it for repair, I told me that the keyboard was cracked, which was caused by man-made damage. Anyway, the after-sales experience is not very good. Recently, there has been a problem again. The disconnection at both ends for 3 days is really a headache.

Looking for another keyboard handle for her, it must be wireless first. Then it has to be a mechanical hard drive, which makes typing feel better. In the end, the appearance should be better.

After reading the reviews and recommendations on the site, the keychron k8 has a very good reputation, and many bigwigs have bought it. I don't have to bother to choose again, just make a single order.

The outer packaging design of the entire keyboard is quite beautiful, with black matte material. There are foam and PE bags inside, and the keyboard protection is also well done.

The whole keyboard is made of gray as the main color, and some keys are decorated with beautiful orange, which is very handsome.

The keys of the keyboard are also relatively high, and the area is also considered moderate. It also feels good in the hand.

There are two adjustable feet on the back of the keyboard, which can adjust the keyboard to a suitable tilt.

The keychron k8 defaults to Apple keycaps, so it is also equipped with win system keycaps for replacement. There is also a data cable. The data cable is a braided cable with a very good texture.

It is also equipped with tools for changing keycaps and key shafts.

First try to replace the textured option key with a win key. It is very easy to remove the keycap with a random tool. After taking it off, press the win key keycap and it will be fine.

This keyboard light key was given an orange one at random, and I changed it easily, which is more eye-catching and beautiful.

All of them have been replaced. There is an orange key on the left and right, which is very eye-catching. The whole keyboard is matched with dark and light gray, which is stable and elegant.

I chose the green switch, and I also tried to see if the key switch is easy to remove. After the actual test, this small tool is quite easy to use, and it can be easily and non-destructively removed.

Gateron’s mechanical switches feel smooth and have good mechanical feedback. The hot-swappable switch method makes switching switches easier and more convenient.

Some netizens may not know why the shaft needs to be changed. Because different key strokes have different pressures, you can use them according to your preferences. With the function of hot pulling and wiping, changing the shaft does not require welding, which is easier and more convenient.

The backlight adopts a reverse sticker design, and replacing the key shaft will not affect the keyboard lighting.

In addition to the special "~" key, other keys support both three-legged and five-legged axes.

The left side of the keyboard is equipped with a power interface, win/mac, keyboard switch, etc. I bought the metal frame version, surrounded by a black metal frame, the texture of the entire keyboard is very good.

Because the power interface uses a Type-c interface, the power cord can be inserted upwards or downwards according to your needs.

keychron k8 can be used in plug mode or bluetooth mode. Under the del key is the power indicator light, green is full, it is better to use it for the first time. Charging supports a charger with a maximum of 5V 2A. The built-in battery lasts 70 hours and can be charged once a week.

Press the orange light key that I changed to switch the effect of the keyboard backlight. The keychron k8 I bought this time is the RGB version. The backlight has many colors, and it is very beautiful with the dark gray keyboard.

There are also many lighting modes that can be switched, such as breathing lights and marquees. You can also use fn + arrow keys to switch the backlight color. It's the first time I use such a lively keyboard, and it feels very novel, haha.

At night, this keyboard really looks good.

There are also 18 lighting effects to choose from, which are so beautiful.

I don't have a desktop computer at home, so use a laptop to test the Bluetooth connection. The connection process is relatively convenient. First, switch the switch key on the side of the keyboard to BT mode, then press and hold the fn and 1 keys for a few seconds, and the blue Bluetooth indicator on the right side will flash, and the pairing can begin. The computer also immediately found the keychron k8 keyboard, just click pairing.

The keychron k8 uses Bluetooth 5.1 version, which can connect to 3 Bluetooth devices at the same time. It will not affect the use of my m720 Bluetooth mouse.

I have also tried it with a notebook these days. The feel is really good, the keycap is a kind of skin-friendly material, and it feels very warm to the touch. The feedback and rebound of the mechanical keyboard is also very good. The unique keyboard sound of the mechanical keyboard sounds retro and feels like using a typewriter. I really like the clicking sound of the keyboard. And I also found that the advantage of an external keyboard for a notebook is that the distance from the screen will be farther, which is a little bit good for relieving eye fatigue.

This time the hands-on experience is shared. Tomorrow, I will bring my wife to work and replace the keyboard.
