![]() You can find these files on Keychron’s page for the K8 Pro. Make sure you pick the right one, i.e ANSI / ISO and white/RGB backlight. You will also need to get the K8 Pro’s keymap json that Keychron posted here. The guide is meant for the Q-series keyboards but it works just the same with the K8 Pro. I highly recommend checking out the guide here to know how to get VIA to work with the K8 Pro. But once loaded and saved on your K8 Pro, the new layout configuration will continue to work on wireless mode. ![]() You will need to use the USB cable to get the keyboard to be detected in VIA software. You can find the switch for the connectivity mode on the left side of the keyboard, along with the switch between Windows/Android and MacOS mode and the USB Type-C port. The Keychron K8 Pro includes Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity which has so far flawlessly so far. Connectivity and VIA configurationĪs I shared earlier, Bluetooth wireless connectivity is a major consideration for me with this new keyboard. Rock solid! You can raise the keyboard by 6º & 9º degree with the feet under the keyboard. That’s almost as heavy as a 13″ MacBook Pro.ĭue to its weight, the Keychron K8 Pro will sit solidly on the table no matter how hard you type on it. Amazing built qualityĪnd speaking of its weight, the Keychron K8 Pro RGB Aluminium case version weighs in at 1293 grams! I’m quite sure it’s the heaviest keyboard I’ve ever used. You can really feel the make quality with the material used and the heft of the unit itself. All in all, my very impressed with the K8 Pro even before using it. The keycaps are quite wonderful to type on and the brown Gateron G Pro switches are just amazing. Now for the Keychron K8 Pro keyboard itself. But inside the box, you will also find a bunch of a set of allan key and screw driver you will need to dismantle the keyboard, the keycap and switch remover tool, a set of Windows keycaps and a USB Type-C to Type-A cable. Inside, you will find the keyboard protected between foams. The keyboard comes in a nice cardboard box that sufficiently protects the keyboard during shipment. We're in China! If they call, pretend you don't speak English.When the Keychron K8 Pro got delivered to me, the first impression I had when I picked up the package was “Wow, this keyboard has heft!” Soon enough, I understood why. how many people will be so mad they'll demand refund or exchange?" This feels like a design/manufacturing process flaw in final assembly (meaning this is probably a very common problem) along with a deliberate decision to ship product without re-work. I doubt it's a typical QC issue because the rest of the keyboard is absolutely perfect. Everything else about the keyboard seems great so far. What was the charge state when you received yours? How long did you have to charge it to get the green light?Įdit: Light changed to green after a couple hours. I have to put my eye right up to the keys or look up into the port/switch crevices. This is while I have the thing plugged in. If I turn out the room lights and wait a bit for my eyes to adjust, I can just make out a faint red glow. ![]() Wow, you can see yours with the room lights on? but based on the several complains on its website, I doubt if they will do an exchange for me that since I am Chinese, I know how terrible those Chinese company customer support are. i am writing a message to the customer support for an exchange. but the quality control really upsets customers like me. The K2v2 is good overall: tiny, wireless, RGB, MX Brown. your keyboard is at full battery so no worries. See below:īut if you switch to the macOS mode, you see a tiny green light inside the switch hole saying: HEY, I am here. and if you take a look closely, you see no light bulb in that hole at all. The battery indicator should be flashing as green / solid green / red when connected to the usb. ![]() You know the curious thing about the K2v2 I just received: ![]()
