There are also five rubber feet at the bottom to prevent any sliding at all. The back of the case has two dual-angle adjustable kickstands to change the angle of the keyboard for your comfort and convenience. The top plate, where the switches are mounted onto, is also made of aluminum.

These screws can be taken off, and then the aluminum bezels can slide right off.ĭespite that being very little aluminum, it actually keeps the frame of the keyboard from flexing at all. The aluminum option adds on aluminum bezels with 2 screws on each side. The build quality of this keyboard is pretty sturdy and nice.

If your computer is far away from your keyboard, this cable may be too short for you.Īside from that, it also comes with a quickstart guide and a complete manual for extra information such as key combinations, lighting effects, etc. The end of the cable is a right-angle connector (the side that connects to the keyboard). There is also a black braided USB-C cable that can be used to charge the keyboard or connect to your PC/laptop to use in wired mode. The version that I ordered is not hot-swappable, but from previous experience with the Keychron K6, it is a small metal switch puller. If you ordered the hot-swappable version, it would also come with a small switch puller made of metal. It comes with Windows keycaps to switch those keys out. By default, the Mac keys are on the bottom modifiers. This makes it easy and convenient to change out the keycaps. Inside, you also get a wire keycap puller. Many people do not actually use this as a dust cover, but if you do want to protect your keyboard from hair and dust when it’s not in use, this cover is made specifically for the K8. The keyboard also has a dust cover made of recyclable plastic. Inside the box, you get the keyboard itself, which is encased in a plastic sleeve. For Bluetooth mechanical keyboards that are compatible with Mac and have the Mac function row, the Keychron keyboards are some of the few keyboards that have that feature set.

It is designed for people who want to use a mechanical keyboard, but they don’t see themselves using a number pad often. It also has an extremely large battery at 4000mAh, which Keychron claims will last 70 hours, depending on your usage. The keyboard itself has a lot of features.

The Keychron K8 is a great option as a beginner budget hot-swappable mechanical keyboard for people who want an extremely portable keyboard with wireless capabilities, Windows/Mac compatibility, and RGB lights.
