Praise
“This keyboard types like a dream. The only reason I'm giving it 4 Stars is due to the fact that it is ceramic coated and not true ceramic.”
JesseVerified buyer· via Keychron
Critique
“Firmware isn't open source, none of the HE 8Ks are it seems due to a unsupported MCU, only disclaimer of this is a lack of a disclaimer of QMK or ZMK, entire point of this brand is open source firmware HID devices so you wouldn't check this.”
