An ode to the Mistel X-VIII keyboard
Keyboardbots; Roll out!
Gaming, typing, programming… It's all possible on Mistel's X-VIII keyboard! And with three customisable layers, you can create the optimal layout for yourself for every task. The Glaze Blue's sibling is not called BumbleBee for nothing; these boards transform into whatever is needed at the moment.
Why the X-VIII Glaze Blue keyboard?
Mistel's X-VIII keyboard features all the keys you need, including a numeric keypad. The keys are equipped with high-quality Cherry MX mechanical switches. Furthermore, the board has four slider switches on the underside that allow for minor changes to the keys. For example, you can turn the CapsLock key into the left Shift key or Fn key.
The third slider switch mentioned above activates Macro mode. In this mode, you can create up to three different layers in which you can assign a different function to each key. We explain exactly how to do this under “frequently asked questions” at the bottom of this page. The keycaps are double-shot, which gives the keycap extra strength and stability. This also prevents the lettering from wearing off or fading.
Differences between the X-VIII keyboard and the updated X-VIII BTv2
The X-VIII BTv2 is an upgrade of the older X-VIII. The main innovation lies in its connectivity. The X-VIII can only be used with the included USB-C cable. The X-VIII BTv2, on the other hand, features Bluetooth 5.0, allowing you to use your keyboard wirelessly. But it gets even better; you can connect your keyboard to up to 3 devices simultaneously. Switching the active device is easy with the Fn+6, Fn+7 or Fn+8 keys.
Not only the connectivity but also the switches have received an update. For example, the switches of the new BTv2 are hot-swappable. This means you can swap the switches relatively easily. No soldering is required. The packaging of the new model therefore includes a so-called switch puller. Would you like to read more about mechanical switches? You can do so here.

Matching Keychron wrist rest
The Keychron wrist rest, made from American walnut wood, perfectly complements Mistel's X-VIII keyboard. The wrist rest features 4 anti-slip points that ensure it stays in place. Thanks to the rest, your wrists and hands are at the correct height for using the keyboard. This optimises relaxation and prevents injuries. You can add the wrist rest to your order at the top right of the page. You can read more about the wrist rest here.
PLEASE NOTE: Keychron wrist rests are natural products and therefore never identical. The product received may therefore differ from the photo.
What makes an ergonomic keyboard so good?
Anyone who spends a lot of time at the computer knows that this can be strenuous for your wrists, shoulders, back, and neck. A good keyboard can help you with this. Mistel's Glaze Blue keyboard, for example, allows you to add macros. The keys are easy to press and respond quickly. All of this is to minimise muscle tension, thereby preventing or reducing injuries.
Get the most out of this product
Mistel's X-VIII keyboard is wide. Ergonomically, it's too wide for right-handed mouse users. Therefore, for ergonomic reasons, we recommend using a central mouse with this keyboard. These are positioned directly in front of you, between yourself and your keyboard, and also serve as a wrist rest while typing. You can find them here.
Furthermore, this keyboard can be updated to eliminate any production and/or design flaws. To do this, you just need to download the firmware. You can find the firmware on this Mistel page.
Don't miss this either
The keyboard comes with several fun and useful gimmicks. The keycap puller makes it very easy to remove and replace keycaps. Additionally, three extra keycaps, a switch tester, and a dust cover are included.
The keyboard is equipped with Cherry MX switches, offering a choice between MX Silent Red and MX Brown switches. The Silent Red switches are very light and quiet switches with a shorter actuation point, making them ideal for gamers. The Brown switches provide better feedback because they are slightly heavier. These switches are all-rounders and suitable for both office work and gaming.
