'There aren’t many keyboards offering better value for money': I tested a bargain mechanical keyboard from Keychron that will tempt gamers — just make sure you get yourself a wrist-rest
The K8 Ultra 8K aims to compete with big brands by offering an impressive spec for a low price — but has it succeeded?
The Keychron K8 Ultra 8K is a wireless mechanical keyboard that offers a solid value for its price. Weighing down upon the wrist from its thick base and metal construction, it requires a wrist rest for comfortable typing. The keyboard's design, reminiscent of retro aesthetics, features black keycaps and customizable RGB backlighting.
Keychron's Web Launcher app, which is both fast and user-friendly, allows for basic customization and rebinding of keys. It performs well, with keys that are snappy and responsive, although some clickiness remains. The keycaps have comfortable indents and secure holds, but the switches lack a smooth motion. With options for three different switch types, it's an affordable choice for a wireless mechanical keyboard, making it a solid pick for those who prefer a larger board.
