UK Keychron K8 Pro Bluetooth QMK/VIA RGB Assembled Linear Aluminium Mac/PC Custom Keyboard - K8P-J1-UK

Wireless and Wired
An excellent solution for multitasking. You can connect the K8 Pro with up to 3 devices wirelessly via its stable Broadcom Bluetooth 5.1 for seamless multitasking across your laptop, phone, and tablet. Switch among them swiftly, and it’s fully compatible with both Mac and Windows. A reliable USB Type-C wired connection is also available when you need it.

Program with QMK & VIA.
QMK/VIA literally means endless possibilities for a fluid workflow. Thanks to our engineering team, it's the first time in history that a wireless mechanical keyboard has these kinds of capabilities right out of the box. Simply connect the K8 Pro to your device with a cable, drag and drop your favorite keys or macro commands to remap any key you want on any system (macOS, Windows, or Linux). It's never been so intuitive and flexible to personalize your own keymap. A brand new ultra-low-power Arm Cortex-M4 32-bit STM32L432 MCU which is powerful, and armed with 128K Flash will provide more flexibility for developers.

Program the K8 Pro with QMK & VIA
With full QMK and VIA support, you can easily program and remap each key on the keyboard. The open-source firmware means endless possibilities for keyboard layouts, shortcuts, backlight effects and more.

To get started, please follow these steps: Download the appropriate kemap JSON file below, open VIA, turn on 'Show Design tab' on 'Settings' tab, drag the JSON file into the 'Design' tab on VIA to get the K8Pro keymap working on VIA.

Since the VIA code for the K8 Pro is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized, so you will need to manually download and enter the K8 Pro keymap.

 

Upgraded Typing Experience
The K8 Pro has been re-engineered and redesigned from the inside out to upgrade the typing experience. The added sound-absorbing foam, a thick silicone dampening bottom pad, and steel plate provide responsive feedback and a peaceful typing sound, while added weight will enhance the stability when the K8 Pro lay on the desk.

Suitable For All Devices
Offers a Mac layout while still being compatible with Windows, the K8 Pro is one of the few on the market that has the same multimedia and function key functions as Apple keyboards for Mac users, but with more tactile feedback. You can even configure different keymaps for both Mac and Windows devices. While VIA software is compatible with macOS, Windows, and Linux. Includes keycaps for both macOS and Windows (4 keycaps for each) to allow you to switch between operating systems with ease.

Hot-swappable
Every detail matters for a personalized typing experience, that’s why we give you the power. You can hot-swap every switch on the K8 Pro with almost all of the 3pin and 5pin MX style mechanical switches on the market (including Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Panda, etc.) without soldering required. You can customize your own typing experience in seconds.

Screw-In PCB Stabilizers
Even small part matters for your fingertip feel. We’ve integrated the PCB-mounted screw-in stabilizers for a smoother typing experience with less wobbliness on the big keys such as space bar, shift, enter, and delete. You can even customize it with alternative stabilizers such as Cherry or Durock.

Pre-lubed Gateron G Pro Switch
The renowned Gateron G Pro switch comes with an optimized mold, more precise positioning, less wobbliness, and factory pre-lube will certainly improve your fingertip feel. A smooth travel experience is guaranteed with up to 50 million keystroke lifespan.

OSA Profile ABS Backlight Shine-Through Keycaps
To further leverage your typing experience, the K8 Pro ISO version comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical angle) and ABS keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel and a fantastic backlight shine-through effect.

South-facing RGB Lights
The south-facing RGB is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist's angle. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the user installs Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on their keyboard. Comes with more than 13 types of RGB backlight settings as well as a static white backlight option. You can further fine-tune the RGB hue, saturation, brightness, effect speed with ease.

Ergonomic Support
Three levels of adjustable typing angle (0, 6 & 9 degrees), an inclined bottom frame, and curved OSA-profile keycaps are all working together to provide long-lasting ergonomic support for your wrist.

Excellent keyboard and service. Delivered to Ireland within 2 days.

I'm so impressed with this keyboard. It's great to type on, feels solid, and sounds great. Keychron really knocked it out of the park with the K8 Pro. My typing speed and accuracy have improved, and I really enjoy typing on this keyboard.

Amazingly priced too! It's incredible that Keychron managed to produce such a high quality keyboard at such a reasonable price point.

Best keyboard I've ever owned.

Good service and the keyboard is fantastic, a real step above the previous keyboards I have owned. The keycaps feel fantastic and the lights shine through the keys, allowing better vision in low light. The switches and stabailisers are lubed and feel fantastic to type on.

The Box comes with all the tools needed to take it apart should one wish, and comes with Windows keys to swap in if the keyboard will see its primary use with a windows machine.

Fantastic product, would definately recomend Keychron in any form for someone's first mechanical keyboard!

The keyboard is great (the premium for ViaQMK support and the more sturdy aluminium frame is absolutely worth it) and Keyboard Co's service is excellent. Would heartily recommend.

The gateron red switches really open a new world of typing for me. A very satisfying purchase!
  Phil  12/12/2022
Excellent service as always from Keyboardco.

Was really looking forward to a UK version of the K8 Pro. And so far the Keychron hasn't disappointed. Very solid board, heavy, really nice switches that feel great and is an absolute pleasure to type on. For me, without a wrist-rest, this is the perfect sized board.
