My Keychron Q8 Pro in its final form
My Keychron Q8 Pro in its final form
- Keychron Q8 Pro
- Gazzew U4Tx + a couple of Kailh Box Navy switches
- MTNU Beige keycaps (lovely new profile, GMK made double-shot PBT, expensive - even more due to Colemak)
I bought the keyboard immediately when I found out they made a BT version of the Q8 (I use a Q10 daily at the office), as I was looking for an iPad compatible one. Very happy with it!

How's the feel, ergo-wise. I've been locked in to a Microsoft natural elite 2 since the early 2000s and this is the first mechanical ergo I've seen
I've been using this board for a while now and I love it. I don't think the split is as extreme as other boards but I find it hard to go back to my straight boards anymore.
I don’t have a lot of experience with ergo keyboards, but I found myself liking this Alice/Arisu layout quite a lot. I can keep my shoulders and arms more relaxed (I’m also quite tall, so a bit more room for my arms and hands is nice…). Only downside of these Keychron models is the tall height of the board. One could use a wrist rest though - Keychron themselves sell one - but I don’t use one. I also don’t type without interruptions the whole day, so it’s ok for me. Easy enough to go back to normal/laptop keys due to almost standard stagger and key layout.
