Although the Keychron K6 and K8 Retro versions are not a new breakthrough from Keychron, in these two keyboards we see the freshness, daring to change to bring users new products full of creativity. Although design is not an important factor to decide whether a keyboard is good or not, to conquer users at first sight, beauty is the deciding factor. And the K6 and K8 have shown us that when possessing an extremely beautiful and sophisticated design with classic Retro colors combined on a modern technological device.
The refined design and new Retro colors are the highlights that Keychron wants to bring to users this time. We will not have any new upgrades compared to the previous generation of the two K6 and K8 keyboards, but this will be the version for those who like a gentle and simple style. This Retro version of Keychron K6 and K8 will focus mainly on the typing experience as well as a design suitable for all setup angles for those who love to set up a workspace.
With the Retro color, highlighting a classic beauty among a myriad of modern technology products will certainly create a unique attraction for both of these keyboards. Because color is the highlight, Keychron has removed the backlight feature to increase color contrast so that customers have the best experience. For those who do not like flashing LED lights under the keyboard, this will definitely be the right choice.
For Mac/iPad users, choosing a keyboard with a Mac layout is extremely important. And both the K6 and K8 keyboards have met that need by providing function key rows simulated like those on the Macbook keyboard or Magic Keyboard.

Keychron K6 and K8 will have two versions of plastic and aluminum, depending on your preferences, you can choose to suit your needs. However, the aluminum version will have another feature added, which is Hot-swap. For those who like to tinker with the keyboard and are passionate about customization, choosing the aluminum version will be more optimal.

Both keyboards are equipped with Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, providing stable and smooth connectivity to up to 3 devices at the same time, so multitasking performance is also better. In addition, if gaming requires smooth connection and limited latency, these two keyboards are still equipped with convenient type-C connectivity.
With the removal of the keyboard backlight, the battery life has now been significantly increased. According to the manufacturer's announcement, if you use this keyboard continuously for 8 hours/day, the battery can last up to 2 months of use, which is a surprise with the battery consumption this time on the Keychron K6 and K8 keyboards. It can be seen that the removal of the LED keyboard light on the K6 and K8 has brought a huge benefit to users.
In terms of typing experience, the Keychron K6 and K8 both give a pretty good typing feel with the homegrown “Keychron Switch” switch, which in my experience is quite close to the switches from Gateron, which are quite popular on the two previous versions. The keys have good bounce, fast response and are stable for daily office tasks.
Keychron K6 and K8 Retro version have brought a new breeze to the current mechanical keyboard market with a classic Retro color but no less attractive and sophisticated with the lines of modern technology. This will be a great choice for setup corners. With a price of only 1,490,000 VND, you can own this extremely cool and cute keyboard.
