'Keychron,' the leading mechanical keyboard brand, has unveiled the 'K8 Pro,' a wireless RGB mechanical keyboard with unique personalization features. This keyboard has a tenkeyless form factor, meaning it does not have the Numpad on the right side. This compact nature makes it lightweight and easy to transport.
The Keychron K8 Pro has a long list of personalization features. Most notably, this is the first keyboard from Keychron to support out-of-the-box VIA and QMK customization. VIA and QMK allow users to change the exact function of each key on the board for either a Mac or PC system. This means users can set macros, or remap their keyboards, however they like.
Aside from its customizability, the K8 Pro is hot-swappable, meaning its keys can be changed and removed in a matter of seconds, and it is RGB-enabled with a beautiful array of front-facing LED lights.
