A good board stock, and an excellent board with simple mods

Out of the box, the Q8 is a pretty dang good board. I ordered mine in silver with the brown switches and a set of cherry profile keycaps (not a fan of the look or profile of the originals). It sounded pretty nice out of the box, but there was some audible case ping when typing, and the stabs have just a touch of scratchy sound/feel. I went ahead and applied the friction break mod, added a very thin layer of case foam, and lubed the stabs with Krytox 205G-0. These simple mods made a massive difference in sound and feel, and I can now say that I am in love with this board. This is my first time using the Gateron pro browns, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised! They are lighter than I anticipated, are very smooth, and have a quiet yet satisfying sound signature. The layout has taken me a little bit of time to get used to, but my wrists are thankful for the improved positioning compared to a standard board. Overall I would highly recommend the Q8 to anyone willing to put in a few minutes of work to make it sound much better.

The benefit of mass-produced arisu

Ordered the 2nd batch of releases and an fr4 plate, and saw many reviews and mod videos of people friction breaking, which is adding tape between the 2 metal pieces to reduce case ping, I also saw people lubing the stock stabs. After opening mine up, I was surprised that there was already tape between the 2 metal pieces and the stock stabs lubed. I planned on doing these things myself, but them doing this already saved me so much time and energy. This would not have been the case if this was a group buy, they saw that people were pretty much required to do these things and they adjusted their manufacturing it even comes with tape mod stock, they know this hobby and are willing to save us time. The stock lube stabs sound great, not over-lubed like some other companies either. It really is a buy-and-ready-to-go, which is something I'm not used to in this hobby. Would be nice to see them sell just cases eventually, as well as different knobs. Coming from YMDK wings, this is definitely a welcomed step up and will be my main for a long time to come. 10/10

Incredible

I've bought a number of mechanical keyboards over the last ~10 years or so and this is my favorite. It sits in the sweet spot for me between a traditional 65% layout like the K6 and something more exotic like the ErgoDox EZ (not quite EZ enough for me) which has a board for each hand and an ortholinear orientation.

The unboxing experience was really, really good. I've used a Keychron K6, and this is a completely different beast. It feels heavy when you pull it out of the box, but in a really good way, like when you pull takeout out of a bag and you think "damn they loaded me up with the good stuff". Colors look great in person--I got the black layout with dark letter keys/light modifier keys. The keys feel great and it is surprisingly quiet. I got browns coming from a Ducky SF One with blues that was a bit too loud. This feels so quiet even for browns I had to doublecheck I didn't accidentally order some other color. I think I could've gotten blues because the board has so much sound dampening in its design.

I haven't tried anything programmable yet--I prefer to be able to just plug and play and this keyboard lets me do that so far. I have a feeling I'll eventually remap del/home to pg up/ pg down, actually nevermind, they do that with fn1 modifier I just realized while writing this. Wow! Everything just kinda works the way you'd think it ought to. Definitely worth the $205 my company paid for it, but TBH I'd buy this out of pocket.

Fantastic feeling keyboard, but doubtful UX

When I bought the keyboard I was sold by having my first split layout solid keyboard. This thing is gorgeous. I mean it and I own all DAS keyboards and a bunch of duckys. Quality will not disappoint (black A with brown switches), at least in the black version. Knob is fantastic for volume control. It's build like a tank. Heavy, solid metal. Fantastic feeling typing on it........... IF you can find the keys. I'm typing this review on this Alice keyboard now.

My main issue, as a software developer, is the split in the middle. My bad, I never considered: shortcuts. I type really quick, and I guess I'm not a pure typist. My finger will often reach across to find the Y and H and G keys. That is really annoying. But consider worse things such as cmd+h or cmd+y and a ton of shortcuts you can't simply do with this layout. Also the lack of tilde... if you're a software developer and use Slack or Jira etc. you'll know the lack of tilde is painful! The split spacebar, however, has never been a problem.

I will not be returning this keyboard because it's my own damn fault. It's an amazing piece of hardware. It feels amazing. And if you type emails all day this might be perfect. But if you heavily use shortcuts all day,... be careful and mind the gap!

I've already put the Q1 v2 on order, same colour scheme (black A), same switches (G brown). I only hope the build feels as solid as this one. A truly magnificent keyboard, with terrible UX, to me anyway. Alice, back to the drawing board.

Purchased Silver Grey - A + Knob w/ Brown switches. Absolutely love this keyboard!

TLDR: Really amazing MKB and worth the price tag. I can't stop typing on this board hence why this review is lengthy.

I've been on the hunt for an Alice keyboard since I started getting into MKBs and glad that I waited till Keychron announced that they'll be producing the Q8. Since it's new I can't find much reviews on this keyboard.
Unboxing experience was top notch. Package foam was high quality and all the pieces were neatly organized, had some board that did not understand that importance. They didn't skimp on the quality of the tools, I had some bad keycap and switch pullers in the past and the ones included in the board are a step up.

The board was heavier than imagined but that's due to the materials in the keyboard. I don't mind since this keyboard will be stationed at my desk and won't be taking it outside since the Silver case is so nice and would be a shame to have scratched. No flex on the case of this board which really brings a premium feel. BTW there are no height adjustment on the keyboard but I feel that the natural angle of this keyboard is good enough.

Played around with VIA. Lighting effects on the board are delightful and bright. With the LEDs being south facing it really elevated the experience. It took me a minute to realize that the physical Win or Mac Toggle on the board was to sets the board to Layer 0 or Layer 1. If you play around in VIA you'll get a hang of how you'd like to customize the board. For example I changed the default functionality of the knob to be Page Up & Page Down with the down press as Screenshot for productivity reasons.

It would be nice to get a read out of the keycap sizes for the non-standard keys so I can purchase novelty keycap sets. It would also be great to see a tutorial video of breakdown/assembly. Perhaps in the near future youtubers would be doing a video about this board but it would be great if there was one from Keychron on Day 1 so we can get the ins and outs of the board. Would also like to see the difficulty on changing the knob on the board for future modifications.

If you are curious about Alice styled keyboards you should really give this one a try.

A Refined Piece of Metal Art

The entire metal body is crafted with 6063 aluminum that is processed through CNC machined, polished, anodized, sandblasted, and undergoes 24 more manufacturing stages to make this solid metal piece of art that is the Q8. 

Keychron Q8 65% Alice Layout Custom Mechanical Keyboard

All-around customizable keyboard

To build a fully customizable keyboard, we designed every component easily assembled. Therefore, you can customize and adjust each component you want.

Keychron Q8 65% Alice Layout Custom Mechanical Keyboard

Double Gasket Design

The Double Gasket Design is a new innovative structure in the industry. In addition to the gaskets on the plates, we added silicone pads between the top and bottom cases to significantly reduce the sound resonance between the metals and reduce the noise of the impacted metals. This design allows the keyboard to maintain the flexibility of the gasket structure and improves the overall typing sound.

OSA Profile Double-shot PBT Keycaps

For the new double-shot PBT keycaps, we built a new profile. It has a similar height to the OEM profile and has an SA-like shape. We named it the OSA (OEM spherical angled) keycap. The PBT keycaps will provide excellent oil resistance, enhance the type feel, and prevent the legends from fading out.

Program Q8 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, even the knob, and more. 

Get the Q8 keymap working on VIA

To get started, please follow the steps: Download the appropriate keymap JSON file below, open VIA, turn on "Show Design tab" on "Settings" tab, and drag the JSON file into the “Design” tab on VIA to get the Q8 keymap working on VIA.
Since the VIA code for the Q8 is still awaiting approval from Github, it is not yet automatically recognized, you will need to manually download and enter the Q8 keymap.

Note: Only the right JSON file can be input, please find the right version keymap JSON file which matches your keyboard to download.

Hot-swappable

The hot-swappable sockets are mounted on the PCB, so you can install or change the switches without soldering. The PCB supports both 3 pin and 5 pin MX mechanical switches.

South-facing RGB LED Lights

The south-facing RGB LED is designed to better illuminate the keyboard backlight from the typist’s angle with the premium non-shine-through PBT keycaps installed. The south-facing RGB is also free from interference when the users install OEM or Cherry-profile alternative keycaps on the keyboard.

Note: The Q8's top case has sharper corners to make it much more compatible with third-party keycaps.

Pre-lubed Gateron G Pro Switch

The optimized molded switch with more precise positioning and less wobble will undoubtedly improve the feel at your fingertips. With the fully assembled Q8 version fitted with factory pre-lubricated Gateron G Pro switches, a smoother travel experience is guaranteed for you.

Gateron G Pro Switch Features
All New Screw In PCB Stabilizers

All New Screw-in PCB Stabilizers

The screw-in design increases stability and makes it easier for changes and upgrades. Precise craftsmanship makes the stabilizers more stable and less shaky.
