Take a seat

Normally, we use this piece of text to write something fun and light-hearted about a product. However, I want to use it now to make sure you grab a cup of coffee or tea before you start reading, because there's quite a lot to tell about the K8. Are you seated? Perhaps a biscuit too? Let's go!

Why the Keychron K8 keyboard?

Very complete

Nicely retro: that's the K8 non-backlight. The K8 gives you all the keys and functions you need in a compact 80% format. This means that a numeric keypad is absent, for ergonomic reasons, but there are still hotkeys that can be used by pressing combination keys. This layout is highly sought after for maximum productivity and is the favourite size for gamers.

The K8's connectivity is fantastic. Via Bluetooth, you can wirelessly connect up to three devices to the keyboard simultaneously. Using the toggle button, you can switch between your connected devices in a flash. For example, one moment you're working on your laptop, and the next you're quickly typing a WhatsApp message about dinner. A fourth device can be connected with a cable (USB). Of course, connecting a single device and using the USB cable for that is also possible.

Matching K8 wrist rest

Keychron has designed two wrist rests specifically for the K8. One is made from American walnut wood. The other combines this same wood with resin for a unique look. Furthermore, the keyboards feature 4 anti-slip points that ensure the wrist rests stay in place.

Thanks to the support, your wrists and hands are at the correct height to use the keyboard. This optimises relaxation and prevents injuries. You can add the wrist rests to your order at the top right of the page. You can read more about the wooden wrist rest here. And here you can read more about the resin wrist rest.

PLEASE NOTE: Keychron wrist rests are natural products and therefore never identical. The product received may therefore differ from the photo.

Matching Penclic H2 wrist rest

The gel-filled wrist rest from Penclic also perfectly complements the Keychron K8 keyboard. The exterior is finished with a wonderfully soft and comfortable Lycra fabric. The underside features an anti-slip layer, ensuring the rest always stays in place. Thanks to the support, your wrists and hands are at the correct height to use your keyboard. This optimises relaxation and prevents injuries. You can read more about the wrist rest here.

Carrying case

The Keychron carrying case is the optimal way to transport your Keychron keyboard. The case opens and closes with a zip and consists of a compartment for the keyboard and a compartment for the cable. The case is made of plastic and canvas, which provides a combination of durable, sturdy, very light, and stylish. The rubber handle makes carrying easy. Here you can find more information about the case. You can add it to your order at the top right of the page.
