K8 Pro

The K8 Pro is the world’s first out-of-the-box QMK/VIA wireless mechanical keyboard paving the way for a new era for mechanical keyboards.

Anyone can master any keyboard keys or macro commands through VIA on a wireless keyboard. Together with our signature features and upgraded typing sound, the K8 Pro is advancing the typing experience to an entirely new level with endless possibilities.

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). 

Check the video above demonstrating how to remap a Light Effect key on the top right corner of the K8 Pro keyboard to Eject key with VIA software, so you can get a shortcut to put your Mac to sleep (Command-Option-Eject), or even remap the fn key in a breeze. It’s never been so intuitive and flexible to personalize your own keymap.

The video below demonstrates how to create a macro command of a screenshot (Shift-Command-4) on macOS, so you can take a screenshot with a single key.

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.

Get the keymap working on VIA

Since the VIA code for the K8 Pro is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not automatically recognized yet. Please download the keymap JSON file below. Connect your keyboard and device with the provided cable, and toggle the switch to cable mode. Open VIA, click on the “Show Design tab” on the “Settings” tab. Drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on VIA to get the K8 Pro keymap working on VIA.

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.

Check the high-res keycap layout and size here.

Suitable For All Devices

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.

The Barebone version (without switch and keycap) is also available at your choice.

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 Double-shot PBT Keycaps

To further fine-tune your typing experience, the K8 Pro comes with our unique OSA profile (OEM profile with spherical-angle) and double-shot PBT keycaps that aim to provide a more comfortable fingertip feel with excellent oil resistance for long-term use on the timeless tenkeyless layout.

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 (0º, 6º & 9º), an inclined bottom frame, and curved OSA-profile keycaps are all working together to provide long-lasting ergonomic support for your wrist.

    Overall a great keyboard for the price. Version: RGB backlight fully assembled Brown Switches
    Pros :
    – Build quality is excellent and everything is put together well. The aluminum frame, switches, keycaps and even the retractable feet feel really well built. No rattles whatsoever.
    – Keyboard is heavy and stays put even as you type really hard.
    – All the keys [brown switches] except the space-bar sound creamy (thocky) and are not annoying at all even if you have someone sitting closeby. The space bar has a higher pitched tone compared to the other keys and while it is not annoying but in long typing sessions it can get distinctively loud. Will try adding a bit of sound absorbing tape to the under side of the space bar to make it heavy and lose its high pitch tone.
    – lubed brown switches are light and almost feel like linear switches. The tactile aspect can only be felt if you gently press the key and you are consciously waiting to feel the tactile bump. During regular typing they just feel like linear reds to be honest.
    – I am using this with a late 2013 macbook pro and bluetooth connection is instant. Even after it is switched off and turned back on, it will connect within 2 seconds or less. I have never had to wait for it connect.

    Cons:
    – The OSA profile keycaps are not shine through keycaps. So the backlight doesn’t shine through the legends.
    – lubed brown switches which feel really nice to type on lack a proper tactile feel. I would probably swap them out after a while for cherry mx blues or kailh box whites.

    Once again a fantastic keyboard overall and a must buy and can be customized to your liking and feels great out of the box

    It’s a very good keyboard but the brown switches feels more like a linear because you’ll type fast and you won’t feel the bump of the brown switches even a bit so i’m buying gateron ink v2 blues for better bump feel during typing. The legends don’t shine through but it doesn’t matter because you won’t see the keyboard once you learn touch typing. The RGB just disturbs you and you’ll turn it off all the time besides show off so i think while backlight will do just fine and save you money !!!

    An excellent keyboard with very high quality of build.
    This is my first mechanical keyboard and I really like it. I chose the red switches as I have to use this in an office.
    However, after some sampling, I leaned towards Gateron Yellow Switches as they offer a slight bit of more resistance.

    There is a little bit of room for improvement with the keycaps, as they are not shine-through and you can’t see the legends in pitch black room. Although this is not at all a problem once you get used to the layout.

    The included switch puller is really very basic and you need to put a lot of effort to remove switches.
    Also, some extra sample switches would’ve been a nice inclusion.
