They had a plethora of options between red/brown/blue Gateron Switches, hot-swappable PCB, aluminium body*, optical switches, and everyone's favourite RGB.

The K8 was originally released on Kickstarter on June 2 starting at around the $60 mark (from now on, I will be using USD if unspecified). The K8 is their newest board, a Tenkeyless set up with Mac users in mind. Will require wrist rest!īackground: Keychron is a fast-growing pre-built keyboard manufacturer from Cambridge, UK (or Hong Kong since they have two headquarters). Optimized for a Mac user but is a great option for Windows who wants to stick to a minimal aesthetic. You are getting quality well above the low price. TL:DR Dope keyboard that ticks all the boxes for the first step into mechanical keyboards.

If you have any questions or critiques, do not hesitate to let me know :) Links for anything mentioned will be tossed at the bottom of this post. You could say I'm under-qualified to be weighing my own opinion, but I'll try to hit all the common stats and review points. This is my first ever mechanical keyboard, and subsequent review.
