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 Nimitz's sibling is not called BumbleBee for nothing; these boards transform into whatever is needed at the moment.

Why the X-VIII Nimitz keyboard?

In addition to its original appearance, this Mistel 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 out or fading.

Matching Keychron wrist rest

Keychron's American walnut wood wrist rest 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. The Mistel Nimitz 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 speaking, 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 page from Mistel.

Don't miss this either

The keyboard comes with a number of 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 Brown switches. These are tactile switches suitable for both gaming and typing.
