View on AmazonOur Take
The K8 Pro is Keychron's tenkeyless take on a proper enthusiast board, aimed at people who want to tinker without building from scratch. It pairs QMK/VIA programmability and hot-swappable switches with Bluetooth or wired USB-C connectivity, working across Mac, Windows and Linux. Sits mid-range: pricier than office boards, more accessible than full custom builds.
Key Features
UK ISO layout with white backlighting, illuminating legends without full RGB
QMK/VIA support for remapping keys and programming macros via desktop app, no firmware flashing required
Hot-swappable switch sockets, so Gateron switches can be pulled and replaced without soldering
Gateron G Pro Brown switches fitted as standard, a tactile switch with a light bump on actuation
Bluetooth 5.1 connects to multiple devices, with quick switching between paired machines
USB-C wired mode for lower input lag or when the battery needs charging
Our Verdict
Good for anyone wanting a first step into mechanical keyboard customisation, particularly VIA remapping and switch-swapping, without committing to a full custom build. Competitive typists chasing minimal latency, or those wanting out-of-the-box RGB and premium materials, should look further up the market.
