The source factory of the Beijing-made keyboard has been found, the 500-speed most silent mechanical keyboard, my new keyboard keychron K8 Pro

In the past year, the keychron K4 red switch (K4 made in Beijing) has been used the most. Then, taking advantage of the Double Eleven discount, I updated a keyboard keychron K8 pro. The price in the early 5s is probably the cheapest. The aluminum is lumpy. After trying it out of the box, the typing sound of the K4 is a bit weak. Sure enough, the mechanical keyboard should be a little heavier.

Keychron's iconic red "ESC" key, and the keycap also uses the same keychron high-end Q series.

The K8 pro is divided into plastic models and aluminum frame versions. Xiaogu started with the aluminum frame version of the G-pro red switch.

The packing list is:

· Keyboard body*1

· Data cable*1

· Key puller*1

· Puller*1

· Spare keycaps*4

· Hexagon screw pen*1

· Screw pen*1

· manual

This keyboard must be put on the explosion diagram . Cotton inserts, silicone pads, and noise-canceling materials are the stuff of the stack.

It is said that electronic products should be bought new rather than old, and the same is true for mechanical keyboards. In addition to using a newer Bluetooth chip (Bluetooth 5.1), the K8 pro’s satellite axis and aluminum frame are bonus items.

Sometimes when communicating with some keyboard players, they will directly ask, how about the big keys? When everyone’s mechanical keyboard is very rolly, the adjustment of the large key is the last difficulty. The large key of the K8 pro uses a satellite shaft that can be installed with screws (Jia Dalong PCB satellite shaft), which is not easy to shake, and the typing sound is not rare. Broken and empty.

The K8 pro with an aluminum frame weighs 900g, which is very heavy. Because the aluminum frame is used, the weight is 200g heavier than the plastic version. The heavier keyboard can reduce the noise when typing.

The compatibility of keychron's keyboard with MAC OS is very good, which is one of the reasons why a bunch of bloggers on ins plant so much grass.

The first dial button in the picture above: Dial to the left, compatible with win os mode, dial to the right, compatible with mac os.

The second dial, left: BT bluetooth mode, middle: off power switch, right: wired mode.

The exposed hexagonal screws on both sides of the keyboard and the hexagonal screwdriver in the accessories are reserved for players to DIY.

Square wide aluminum frame with 45° chamfer on the outside and matte texture on the base.

The wide aluminum frame is the plus point of this keyboard, and it is also one of the reasons why I think the overall appearance of K8 pro is higher than that of K4, so I decided to adjust this keyboard as the main keyboard in the future.

The retro spherical keycaps are designed in contrasting colors, but I personally think that the original keycaps of the K4 look better in color.

As a desktop, this keyboard is very versatile; Bluetooth mode and built-in lithium battery, K8 pro can be used as a wireless desktop peripheral, a pleasing desktop, don’t you want it?

The Bluetooth mode can be adapted to three devices, and it can be switched by Fn+1/2/3 when using it.

K8 pro comes with 14 kinds of RGB lighting effects by default, and an independent lighting key is set in the upper right corner of the keyboard.

This small solid keyboard is equipped with Jiadalong G-Pro red switch, which belongs to the linear switch body. It is characterized by quietness and a key life of 50 million times. I have experienced a few mechanical keyboards equipped with G-Pro red switches, and the best performers are the keychron Q5 and this keychron K8 Pro (button feel and sound, the keychron Q5 is better, but the wireless mode is missing. ).

keychron supports QMK and VIA open source keys, and students who do not like the default key layout, shortcut keys, and backlight effects can customize it by themselves.

PS: There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. I personally think that the appearance of this keyboard belongs to the first echelon among mechanical keyboards. The feel and key adjustment are also very, very good. If you don't like it, chances are you haven't tried it.
