Keychron K8 Hot-Swap
CH, Cable, WirelessProduct details
The K8 from Keychron is the first wireless mechanical all-purpose keyboard developed and funded by the Kickstarter community. This model features a compact 80% tenkeyless form factor, making it ideal for users who desire a clean and wireless setup. The K8 comes with Gateron switches, which are currently regarded as the smoothest switches on the market. Whether for PC, Mac OS, Linux, or even Android devices, Keychron keyboards are compatible and meet all requirements. The desired operating system is set via a switch on the keyboard frame. Each Keychron keyboard includes additional keycaps for Mac and Windows, as well as a keycap puller. For improved workflow and multitasking, you can connect up to three Bluetooth devices simultaneously and switch from laptop to tablet or mobile device.
This Keychron keyboard features a fully hot-swappable PCB, meaning the switches are not soldered. This allows you to easily upgrade, swap, and mix switches without needing to solder; simply plug and unplug as desired. The keyboard is equipped with excellent RGB LED backlighting, providing an optimal and customizable typing experience. With 15 different lighting modes, you can create the desired atmosphere with blinking, breathing, or static effects. This model has a sleek and elegant aluminum frame for increased durability and rigidity. The large 4000mAh battery lasts up to nine days (8 hours per day for up to 72 hours) with the backlighting on or four weeks with the backlighting off, and it can be fully recharged in just three hours.
