FAQ:
One key does not work/register/input properly.
Try to pop the keycap off and shoot some air in and around the cap first. Maybe it is just a dust/debris-caused issue.If it doesn’t help, try to factory reset your keyboard by holding fn + Z + J for 4 seconds.
Input Lag
The Bluetooth latency is designed to be 30 milliseconds, though actual performance may vary with real-world usage. If you experience input lag, please try the following steps:
Try to factory reset your keyboard by holding fn + Z + J for 4 seconds.For wired mode, please replug the data cable or use another data cable/port on your device.For Bluetooth mode, check for interference from nearby Bluetooth devices, and try testing the connection with your smartphone.If you are a desktop user, ensure your motherboard’s Bluetooth antenna is installed. If your PC requires a Bluetooth adapter, please install one.
Can’t Type After Waking Up Mac?
This issue is caused by Apple’s FileVault, which prevents third‑party Bluetooth keyboards from unlocking the login screen.
Solutions:
Turn off FileVault to enable normal login.Use a wired connection to enter your password.
Keychron keyboards support FileVault login in wired mode only.
How do I remap keys?
You can use third-party apps to remap keys (except the light effect key).
For Mac users- Karabiner.
For Windows users- SharpKeys.

Great keyboard overall
This keyboard is the best one I’ve ever used. I would have guessed it’s rating would be closer to 5 stars.The feel is very satisfying to me. It’s not super loud, and the tactile sensation of pressing the keys is about perfect for me. The size is perfect. The lighting is a plus. It has worked perfectly for me over the couple of months I’ve used it. I cleaned it recently by pulling out the keys, using a dust cleaning gel, cleaning each cap with a towel, and putting them back, and everything is as good as new. The bluetooth connectivity is consistent, and the battery lasts a decently long time – I would say a couple of days to a week (several hours a day of use) with lighting on medium or high, and it’s very easy to connect and use it while it charges. I have a feeling I will use this for a very long time. I also absolutely love how it came with Windows and Mac keycaps as I use both. They keycaps are pretty easy to pull off with the tool or even without it. It connects pretty easily to bluetooth, and I love that it is able to connect to 3 devices.On my Macbook, I was able to use Karabiner to reprogram the keys, and it has worked well. I reprogrammed the top-right keys to more useful shortcuts like opening specific apps, copy/paste, password for my account, and putting my mac to sleep. I discovered this through ChatGPT and YouTube and it is decent at generating the code to reprogram them.I only have a few wishes for this keyboard.Firstly, it is very unaesthetic for the previous, play/pause, and next buttons to not be placed together (see the F7 – F9 buttons in the pictures). They should have taken the extra steps to do so, or picked another design.Next, the top-right button for keyboard lighting is the only one that can’t be reprogrammed through software, and since it’s in the corner, I often press it on accident, which resets my lighting setting. I always had to switch through all the different light mode patterns for the keyboard, which I don’t really ever use, until going back to the one I prefer, which is just the standard always-on light, and there’s like 18 patterns so it always interrupted me. I ended up putting a spiraled paper clip inside the keycap so that it’s much harder to trigger. I wish the key was reprogrammable in the first place so I could give it a better use.Next, I wish the power button was in a better location and easier to press. It has a switch between 3 modes (on, off, cable mode), but I would prefer an easier mechanism. It takes effort to put it exactly in the middle to turn it off. Luckily I found that putting it on cable mode is equivalent to off as long as it’s not connected. Regardless, it would be nice to have just a button, especially on the right side since I am right-handed. But I do really like the switch for Mac and Windows, that works well.Next, the mic button near the top-right never really worked, and it is the hardest to reprogram because it seems to trigger a combination of keys instead of just a simple key.Lastly, the battery indicator LED light distracts me when it is on low battery. It starts to blink brightly until it gets connected, so I had to put a piece of putty over it.

Fantastic TKL for Mac
I’ve been using the brown switch base version of the keychron k8 for a little over 2 weeks. I’m a software engineer and this is the keyboard I use for work (WFH). I was previously using a Durgod Taurus K320 TKL with cherry mx brown switches so this isn’t my first mechanical keyboard.I REALLY LIKE THIS KEYBOARD. The switches are probably the best part. If you want a tactile switch but find the cherry mx browns too scratchy with too much resistance or hate that “spring” feel (I do), Gateron brown switches are for you. They just feel crisper and also easier to press.Having a backlit, wireless, bluetooth, TKL mechanical keyboard has got to be the dream. I’ve had almost zero issues with bluetooth. There was one time where the bluetooth disconnected for a moment but that hasn’t repeated itself. I can wake my 2019 (work) and 2017 (personal) Macbook Pros with ease using the keyboard. It pairs very quickly. I haven’t had to do any repairing yet (knock on wood). I’m obviously not doing anything sensitive like gaming but I haven’t noticed any input delay doing normal office work.I use a wrist rest so the height of this keyboard is a non-issue for me. I’m able to switch to using function keys via Mac OS for all the keys except those controlling the keyboard backlight and the shortcuts for screen capture, siri(?) and the backlight on the far right. This is perfect for programming (in my experience).2 cons for this keyboard:- minor – it is slightly louder than my old keyboard and this loud seems to come from the case vs from the keys so I don’t think o-rings are going to help. My family will just have to deal.- moderate – this keyboard has very good battery life (lasted a week of full time use) – BUT – when you need to charge you can’t just use any old powered usb port. Like probably every macbook pro owner who uses their laptop professionally, I have a usb hub so I can do things like plug regular mice, hard drives etc into my computer. Plugging this keyboard into that hub resulted in a HORRIBLE sound and it was clear that the keyboard was drawing too much power. I ended up plugging the keyboard into the wall using an iPad charger. Which worked fine but meant I couldn’t use my keyboard while it was charging and isn’t really the behavior you would expect out of a peripheral like a keyboard.I would rate this 4.5/5 stars. My only real issue is with power draw while charging.

Solid Mechanical Keyboard with a Premium Feel
Iâve been using the Keychron K8 Tenkeyless for a few weeks now, and overall, itâs been a solid addition to my setup. The build quality feels premiumâsturdy and well-madeâand the tactile feedback from the mechanical switches is super satisfying, especially for long typing sessions.Bluetooth setup was easy, but Iâve run into occasional connection hiccups when switching between devices. Itâs convenient that I can pair with three devices, though I wish the connection was a bit more consistent. Also, Iâve had minor issues with the arrow keys not always responding properly.

Satisfied
Literally using it now as I type this. It’s so good and it sounds great. Connects immediately and weighs lightly to move around and doesn’t seem like an extra thing in my bag for when I need to travel. It fits well on my desk since it’s on the smaller end but the keys function well and the light looks nice, too. It’s not too bright so it won’t bother anyone with sensitive eyes and it’s relatively ergonomic with the kickstands underneath it.

Its a really good keyboard
My first mechanical keyboard & I can say itâs pretty great, I love the weight of it & the rigidity it has. The battery life is pretty good also.
Amazon Customer –
Very nice to use.Still making up my mind as to whether I prefer it over a low profile, but it certainly works well.The light show effects are really cool, but donât help productivity 🙂

I’ve had some pretty bad luck with keyboards lately. Both my Ducky and Logi keyboards developed unbearable key chatter.I’ve only just got the Keychron. Initial observations are that aesthetically it’s a pretty good looking keyboard, although not amazing. Gateron brown switches sound really nice and the switches feel really smooth as if they are lubed (are they?).Backlight is nice, although all modes except for the standard on or off are completely gimmicky and non usable.Overall – good so far. I’ll update this review in the future, if I run into any issues.

the Keychron k8 is hot swappable on the keychron website. But when i tried to swap the switches, i found out that the switches are soldered on.
