  "account": "Keychron is known for offering budget-friendly mechanical keyboards, and their 87-key model, the Keychron K8, is currently on sale at an all-time low price of just $34.99, down from $79.99. For new customers, the price drops an additional $5 to $29.99 when using the code KEYCRON. This compact TKL layout features Gateron Red linear switches and white backlight, although it is exclusively for Mac users. The keyboard supports both Windows and macOS, and includes additional keycaps for each operating system. Despite being wireless via Bluetooth only, serious gamers may want to connect it via the USB-C port for faster response times. Made of plastic, the K8 doesn't seem cheap and offers reliable performance, as the writer has used several Keychron keyboards extensively without any serious hardware issues.",
