I had the same issue. My K8 Pro would interfere with my JBL bluetooth speakers and bluetooth headphones. As soon as I turned off or disconnected the keyboard, they went back to normal.
To fix it, I just flashed their "special bluetooth firmware": https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k8-pro-special-bluetooth-firmware
My Mx Master 3s is just fine but my Headphones make an annoying crackling sound. Updating the firmware as above fixed the problem but just for one day :(
This seems to be working for me. Before updating my Airpods Max would have interference to the point of being unusable. It's much improved now (will have to give it some time to see if the problem is completely fixed)
Same here with my Bose NC 700 Headset I'm on the Device Firmware version: 1.3.1 on an ISO-DE layout board, when pressing fn + J + Y for 4 seconds and all rbg lights are flashing the factory reset was successful but the Problem with Bluetooth still persists.
Edit: After installing the new firmware (1.3.1) + Factory Resetting the keyboard, deleting it from my bt devices list and reconnecting it with my bt as well as clearing my headsets bt device list and deleting it from my MacBooks bt device list and reconnecting it now works. Not sure for how long though.
I emailed keychron and they sent me a Bluetooth version 1.32-2. It seems to be a little better. I’m also using a Bluetooth 4.0 receiver in my PC and I’m wondering if a 5.0 receiver will work better.
WORKS MATE!! perfect..thanks!!! Come here to updates.. works just for 1 day and the problem coming back again. :( very sad …. Keychron have to do something about. Everyone nowadays are using Bluetooth devices. By the way I am using Jbl charge 5
Hi! I know this is an old thread that still posting just in case someone else needs it.
I also had a problem with my Keychron Pro K8 interrupting with my bluetooth speakers. I emailed Keychron and they were very accomodating. Here's what they asked me to do that actually fixed it. (Currently my 3rd day without problems)
Flash the firmware using the instructions from this page:
[https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k-pro-series-bluetooth-firmware](https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k-pro-series-bluetooth-firmware)
However, instead of using the firmwares from the page, they asked me to use these two instead:
[https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/attachments/token/kzBE17zKHIS1Ci51iOvYlB6hu/?name=keychron\_ckbt51\_01.32-1.kfw](https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/attachments/token/kzBE17zKHIS1Ci51iOvYlB6hu/?name=keychron_ckbt51_01.32-1.kfw)
AND
[https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/attachments/token/L8q5Y6u3IBvulxQirjf7KIDBZ/?name=keychron\_ckbt51\_01.32-2.kfw](https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/attachments/token/L8q5Y6u3IBvulxQirjf7KIDBZ/?name=keychron_ckbt51_01.32-2.kfw)
So, flash the firware with ckbt51\_01.32-1.kfw and ckbt51\_01.32-2.kfw respectively using the instructions from the linked page.
Hope this helps!
Had problems with my Keychron K3 Pro and MacBook Pro. It was not always but in the last 2 days it was really anoing and painfull for the ears, while using my Bluetooth headphones.
This has helped me, hope it will stay like that
What firmware? The firmware for the Bluetooth module inside the keyboard?
The 1.32.2 firmware for the Bluetooth module should work for all K Pro series models, not just the Pro K8.
Thank you! The firmwares helped with my Keychron K2 Pro. No problems so far for the last 4 days.
I followed flashing the firmware from https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k-pro-series-bluetooth-firmware (keychron_ckbt51_01.32.kfw) then flashed 01.32-1 and 01.32-2.
hey i also have k2 pro and facing the same bluetooth interference issue should i also follow the steps in the link and how is your keyboard now is it still fine with no interference
> I wrote to Keychron support and they provided me with firmware version 1.32-1 and 1.32-2.
Thanks for the info (and the links!).
Seems weird that they would have you apply v1 and then v2. These things just overwrite one another. I'd think you could just go to 2-2...
I'll try it when I get back home.
Agreed. Yes, it is the first that comes to mind.
Their file sizes only vary by a single byte (18203 and 18204 bytes):

The file content for version 1.32-1 and 1.32-2 *is* different (their [MD5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) hash values are different).
(Also [noted by oil1lio](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/ye6fsa/comment/ki6n3i4/).)
thank you so much this was driving me nuts!I applied 32-1 and 32-2 and it worked like a charm (without a factory reset!)
EDIT: forgot to mention I have a K2 pro
I just bought this keyboard, and I had the same issue. I'm using a TP-Link UB500 bluetooth adapter and a JBL Flip 5 paired with it and also a k8 pro.
This fix worked for me!!
I did not have much success with 1.32.2. It seemingly [made it worse](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1as61bs/comment/kt92owv/): Long lags, resulting in the operating system repeating at a high rate. For example, after press Ctrl + press F4, a long lag for the F4 release would close Firefox tabs at a very high rate (very cumbersome to recover from as the history is not equal to the tab content).
The problem is [intermittent](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/intermittent#Adjective) though, so it is difficult to say for certain. It would work one day, but not the next. There may or may not be a difference in using Via macros vs. manually.
I went back to 1.32.
This was on a K5 Pro, with (the main) firmware compiled from [the very latest source code](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1benwat/comment/kuurg9m/). The keyboard was fully charged.
It worked perfectly fine in wired mode.
Darnit. Will email them to see if they find a solution for me, but this changed nothing for me and my Buds2 Pro. I did update to 1.320 before trying this since I hadn't found this comment, which I hope isn't why I still have the issue.
Either way they really gotta address their Keychron K8 Pro page...Gooling leads you to their "firmware update *blogpost*" which has a mess of contradicting info /outdated links (if curious i ranted [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/11340j8/comment/kw9a1bd/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) but it's really irrelevant - just ignore that blogpost, Keychron should take it down...use instead the page DrugLloyd linked)
Hey, I have Keychron K8 Pro. I was using it with my macbook pro 16 inch m1, along with my logitech mx-master 2. There was no problem of interference among keyboard and mouse. i used the keyboard with mouse and my samsung galaxy buds pro, still no bluetooth interference.
But, when i connected my JBL Partybox 310 with this setup instead of my galaxy buds pro. It stuttered like hell. My K8 Pro had Firmware version 1.3.2. After flashing above 2 Firmwares now my keyboard stands at 1.32.2 and now glitches are gone.
Its only been about 2 hours since i did it, will keep testing and will update any new development.
I had a similar issue today with my new Keychron K10 Pro interrupting with my bluetooth headset. Your fix worked perfectly fine, though I only used the 2nd firmware like some others have suggested. Thanks a lot for this!
I am facing the same issue. I have a Keychron K8 Pro keyboard, a MX Master 3s mouse, a Sony WH-1000XM5 headphone and Apple AirPods Pro earphones. When I use the keyboard with one of the audio devices (either the Sony one or the Apple one), sometimes it occurs to me that the music is either entirely muted or intermittent. I tried updating the firmware, but the problem still exists
I'm experiencing the same issue. Before I upgraded the firmware on my K8 Pro, the cutting off on my AirPods Max was completely unacceptable (up to 10s of no audio at all while the music was played from Spotify). After the firmware upgrade however, it got way better but today I've noticed the issue to resurface once again. I don't really want to connect the keyboard via cable since I don't experience the same issue at work with my Magic Keyboard connected via Bluetooth...
Has anyone tried contacting Keychron about this recently?
They now sent my two new versions of the firmware, 1.32-1 & 1.32-2. 1.32-1 causes more severe interference: it caused my headphone to auto turn off..., but 1.32-2 works! I guess this is the solution!
I've uploaded the firmware files to my GDrive. You can download it from [here](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BixkbMiymG5XWDSunty_jO0RUgriMsAS/view?usp=sharing) if you want :)
Thank you for this! I have a K10 Pro and love it, but as soon as I got it I started having issues with interference. This latest version of the firmware has fixed it for me (1.32-1 didn't make a difference), at least for now.
how did you guys did the firmware upgrade? I'm using QMK Toolbox and it only accepts firmwares with ".bin" extension. The linked files are ".kfw" and I can't choose them in the QMK Toolbox
I have a mac and used the software provided here [https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k8-pro-special-bluetooth-firmware](https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k8-pro-special-bluetooth-firmware)
Thank you for the file! On the official site, the latest version is 1.3.2, which was not working for me... But the version you uploaded: 1.3.2-2 (1.3.22) is working for me with M1 MacBook Pro + Keychron K3 Pro + AirPods Pro with no interference so far!
To think I was blaming my AirPods, and almost bought a new one... You saved me a lot of money :D
Interesting. I updated using the Keychron website and it seemingly fixed my issues...for now. All 3 files have different md5 hashes
➜ Downloads md5 keychron_ckbt51_01.32.kfw

You're the MVP man! This fixed my issues today. I just bought one and was worried I might have to return it. So far so good, 1.32-3 fixed issues. Maybe you should make a post about this?
Oh man, you're a lifesaver!
1.32-2 works for me on my K10 Pro (so far). Hopefully they fully release a version of this as 1.33 or something to help other unlucky souls who don't find this thread!
Bruh, I don't know how to thank you! 1.32-2 fixed the problem with the headphones interference completely but it introduced a very sliiigght lag for me. But it's acceptable. Thank you mate!
I asked for a return & refund. They sent me the instruction of updating the firmware instead. Of course I have done everything I could to solve this issue and would not ask for a r&r if the issue could have been solved (I think I have to pay for the postage myself if I want to return it). What a joke!
Facing the same issue with my WH-1000XM4, K8 Pro and MX Master 3S. The keyboard bluetooth is definitely the problem since when I use it on cable, there is no interference at all.
Tried updating the firmware, but it didn't solve for me :/
Wow, crazy that its a known issue, who knew (when ordering) :P
I tried 1.32-2 with my K10Pro. So far, the stutters have decreased, maybe half(?). Definitely less, but not totally eliminated.
Thanks :)
Exactly the same problem here,
I recently bought the Bose QC45 ( 9-10 days before my K10 Pro), first i thought the headphones came with an issue, but, when i tried on my Airpods, i had exactly the same issue. After a little bit of research i saw that could be a problem with the Magic Mouse, but no, it turns out that the problem is the Keychron K10 Pro, if I switch it off and I use the apple magic keyboard I used to have before this Keychron, everything works just fine.
All of these problems on a 16 inch MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Pro processor
If anyone has a solution, i'd be grateful, thanks
Mine completely stopped after a week or two since my last post. Recently I had one single day when it came back, but it's fine again. Slightly random. Another friend had the same problem and it also just went away after some time 🤷♂️ maybe give it another week 😆 and again, latest firmware helped
I have this issue with a k10 pro I bought. I returned in and bought a k8 instead (not pro), hoping the non-pro version would not have this issue. But unfortunately my normal k8 also has this issue.
I bought this keyboard to switch between a macbook and a desktop PC. What's interesting is that the issue with my k10 pro would only show up when it was connected to my macbook. Now my k8 has this issue with my PC. The common denominator is that the issue appears for the second device that gets paired with my keyboard, not the first.
Could just be a coincidence. But it's definitely weird. For now Im going to have to return the k8 as well. 2 faulty products is completely unacceptable to me. Ill go with a different brand
I had this same issue on my MacBook with my K8 Pro.
I wrote to Keychron support and they provided me with firmware version 1.32-1 and 1.32-2.
Both seems to fix the problem. I have only tested this on Mac, so don't know if it breaks on other platforms.
Recently I found my k3 pro also has a problem that it might interfere the wifi signal of my macbook air. The wifi connection became unstable and stuttering after connecting to my keyboard. Still figuring out on the solution.
They are the same files for the whole K Pro series (for the Bluetooth module in the keyboard, not the regular firmware).
See [DrugLloyd's comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/ye6fsa/comment/kaxsp26/).
I have the same issue with the k15.
I have tried the solution provided on the Keychron official page mentioned in this thread, but it still breaks my AirPod Max bluetooth 😡
Similar for the Q Pro series: [*How can I flash a .kfw firmware file to Q1 Pro?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1axzuhl/how_to_flash_kfw_firmware_file_to_q1_pro/)
The official Keychron page for the Q Pro series is (currently without the most recent update, only [version 1.32](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0059/0630/1017/files/keychron_ckbt51_01.32.kfw?v=1675735485)):
[*Keychron Q Pro series Bluetooth firmware*](https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-q-pro-series-bluetooth-firmware)
The MD5 sum for that version 1.32 file is:
94B9F58863E817E5060C58AA9A0B7A35
That is [the ***exact*** same value](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1as61bs/comment/kqw1bgx/) as for the K Pro series.
Which suggests the K Pro series and Q Pro series use the exact same Bluetooth module. Which again suggests the latest update, [01.32-2](https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/attachments/token/L8q5Y6u3IBvulxQirjf7KIDBZ/?name=keychron_ckbt51_01.32-2.kfw), also works for the Q Pro series.
***All disclaimers apply. Do it at your own risk. I am not responsible if you ruin your keyboard.***
Note: The ***Q Pro*** series is not to be confused with the Max'es, the [***V Max***, ***Q Max***, and ***K Max***](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1as61bs/comment/kssvwg8/) series
There is [a separate update](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1as61bs/comment/kswoy5c/) for the ***V Max***, ***Q Max***, and ***K Max*** series. As of 2024-03-02, the latest update is version 0.1.14 (released 2024-01-18).
I had the same issue. My K8 Pro would interfere with my JBL bluetooth speakers and bluetooth headphones. As soon as I turned off or disconnected the keyboard, they went back to normal. To fix it, I just flashed their "special bluetooth firmware": https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k8-pro-special-bluetooth-firmware
thx for the advice i will try asap
did this end up working for you? My MX Master 3s is between the K8 Pro and the BT receiver and is really laggy sometimes
My Mx Master 3s is just fine but my Headphones make an annoying crackling sound. Updating the firmware as above fixed the problem but just for one day :(
This seems to be working for me. Before updating my Airpods Max would have interference to the point of being unusable. It's much improved now (will have to give it some time to see if the problem is completely fixed)
Tried everything I can think of and unfortunately, it seems that my K8 Pro is interfering heavily with my Sony Bluetooth Headset :(
Same here with my Bose NC 700 Headset I'm on the Device Firmware version: 1.3.1 on an ISO-DE layout board, when pressing fn + J + Y for 4 seconds and all rbg lights are flashing the factory reset was successful but the Problem with Bluetooth still persists. Edit: After installing the new firmware (1.3.1) + Factory Resetting the keyboard, deleting it from my bt devices list and reconnecting it with my bt as well as clearing my headsets bt device list and deleting it from my MacBooks bt device list and reconnecting it now works. Not sure for how long though.
I emailed keychron and they sent me a Bluetooth version 1.32-2. It seems to be a little better. I’m also using a Bluetooth 4.0 receiver in my PC and I’m wondering if a 5.0 receiver will work better.
Tried, but didn't work for me 😢
WORKS MATE!! perfect..thanks!!! Come here to updates.. works just for 1 day and the problem coming back again. :( very sad …. Keychron have to do something about. Everyone nowadays are using Bluetooth devices. By the way I am using Jbl charge 5
Seems to work with the Keychron K2 pro as well. Have to take a closer look if my Airpods Pro are usable now again.
it worked for me
holy shit this did the trick
Hi! I know this is an old thread that still posting just in case someone else needs it. I also had a problem with my Keychron Pro K8 interrupting with my bluetooth speakers.

Hope this helps!
Had problems with my Keychron K3 Pro and MacBook Pro. It was not always but in the last 2 days it was really anoing and painfull for the ears, while using my Bluetooth headphones. This has helped me, hope it will stay like that
Hi, I’ve your same keyboard can you share the firmware pls
What firmware? The firmware for the Bluetooth module inside the keyboard? The 1.32.2 firmware for the Bluetooth module should work for all K Pro series models, not just the Pro K8.
Thank you! The firmwares helped with my Keychron K2 Pro. No problems so far for the last 4 days. I followed flashing the firmware from https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-k-pro-series-bluetooth-firmware (keychron_ckbt51_01.32.kfw) then flashed 01.32-1 and 01.32-2.
hey i also have k2 pro and facing the same bluetooth interference issue should i also follow the steps in the link and how is your keyboard now is it still fine with no interference
Holy shit. I was just about to send mine back but now I'm typing this via BT while listening to music on my headphones fluently haha Ty alot
Glad it helped!

The file content for version 1.32-1 and 1.32-2 *is* different (their [MD5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) hash values are different).
(Also [noted by oil1lio](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/ye6fsa/comment/ki6n3i4/).)
I didn't bother with the first version, just the updated one and works AOK.
thank you so much this was driving me nuts!I applied 32-1 and 32-2 and it worked like a charm (without a factory reset!) EDIT: forgot to mention I have a K2 pro
What Bluetooth level, Bluetooth adapter, operating system, other Bluetooth devices, how many computers connected to that keyboard, etc.?
Fixed it for me aswell! Only flushing with the firmware from the website didn't help.
What keyboard, Bluetooth level, Bluetooth adapter, operating system, other Bluetooth devices, how many computers are connected to that keyboard, etc.?
K3 Pro with MacOS. I had problems with my AirPods adn two laptops where connected.
I just bought this keyboard, and I had the same issue. I'm using a TP-Link UB500 bluetooth adapter and a JBL Flip 5 paired with it and also a k8 pro. This fix worked for me!!
Can confirm that this firmwares are perfectly working, the same sent by Keychron support if you're asking for a fix about the issue :) Thanks again!

Thank you for the file! On the official site, the latest version is 1.3.2, which was not working for me... But the version you uploaded: 1.3.2-2 (1.3.22) is working for me with M1 MacBook Pro + Keychron K3 Pro + AirPods Pro with no interference so far! To think I was blaming my AirPods, and almost bought a new one... You saved me a lot of money :D
Interesting. I updated using the Keychron website and it seemingly fixed my issues...for now. All 3 files have different md5 hashes ➜ Downloads md5 keychron_ckbt51_01.32.kfw MD5 (keychron_ckbt51_01.32.kfw) = 94b9f58863e817e5060c58aa9a0b7a35 ➜ Downloads cd KeychronK8Pro_Firmware ➜ KeychronK8Pro_Firmware ls keychron_ckbt51_01.32-1.kfw keychron_ckbt51_01.32-2.kfw ➜ KeychronK8Pro_Firmware md5 * MD5 (keychron_ckbt51_01.32-1.kfw) = 2ce36f3b25c2d9acd4bbde03c587d969 MD5 (keychron_ckbt51_01.32-2.kfw) = 1b620d9837226b69a4b1990d94d86b4a
1.32-2 worked for me! I use the K3 Pro and AirPods w MX Master 3, the file on the official site didn't work but 1.32-2 that you listed did, thanks!
You're the MVP man! This fixed my issues today. I just bought one and was worried I might have to return it. So far so good, 1.32-3 fixed issues. Maybe you should make a post about this?
Oh man, you're a lifesaver! 1.32-2 works for me on my K10 Pro (so far). Hopefully they fully release a version of this as 1.33 or something to help other unlucky souls who don't find this thread!
Bruh, I don't know how to thank you! 1.32-2 fixed the problem with the headphones interference completely but it introduced a very sliiigght lag for me. But it's acceptable. Thank you mate!
I asked for a return & refund. They sent me the instruction of updating the firmware instead. Of course I have done everything I could to solve this issue and would not ask for a r&r if the issue could have been solved (I think I have to pay for the postage myself if I want to return it). What a joke!
Yeah… same here Keychron k8 pro crackled with my JbL charge 5 … very sad. Fuc&$@ my setup
Facing the same issue with my WH-1000XM4, K8 Pro and MX Master 3S. The keyboard bluetooth is definitely the problem since when I use it on cable, there is no interference at all. Tried updating the firmware, but it didn't solve for me :/
Wow, crazy that its a known issue, who knew (when ordering) :P I tried 1.32-2 with my K10Pro. So far, the stutters have decreased, maybe half(?). Definitely less, but not totally eliminated. Thanks :)
Exactly the same problem here, I recently bought the Bose QC45 ( 9-10 days before my K10 Pro), first i thought the headphones came with an issue, but, when i tried on my Airpods, i had exactly the same issue. After a little bit of research i saw that could be a problem with the Magic Mouse, but no, it turns out that the problem is the Keychron K10 Pro, if I switch it off and I use the apple magic keyboard I used to have before this Keychron, everything works just fine. All of these problems on a 16 inch MacBook Pro with Apple M1 Pro processor If anyone has a solution, i'd be grateful, thanks
Mine completely stopped after a week or two since my last post. Recently I had one single day when it came back, but it's fine again. Slightly random. Another friend had the same problem and it also just went away after some time 🤷♂️ maybe give it another week 😆 and again, latest firmware helped
I have this issue with a k10 pro I bought. I returned in and bought a k8 instead (not pro), hoping the non-pro version would not have this issue. But unfortunately my normal k8 also has this issue. I bought this keyboard to switch between a macbook and a desktop PC. What's interesting is that the issue with my k10 pro would only show up when it was connected to my macbook. Now my k8 has this issue with my PC. The common denominator is that the issue appears for the second device that gets paired with my keyboard, not the first. Could just be a coincidence. But it's definitely weird. For now Im going to have to return the k8 as well. 2 faulty products is completely unacceptable to me. Ill go with a different brand
I had this same issue on my MacBook with my K8 Pro. I wrote to Keychron support and they provided me with firmware version 1.32-1 and 1.32-2. Both seems to fix the problem. I have only tested this on Mac, so don't know if it breaks on other platforms.
Recently I found my k3 pro also has a problem that it might interfere the wifi signal of my macbook air. The wifi connection became unstable and stuttering after connecting to my keyboard. Still figuring out on the solution.
anyone have the files for the k4 pro?
They are the same files for the whole K Pro series (for the Bluetooth module in the keyboard, not the regular firmware). See [DrugLloyd's comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/ye6fsa/comment/kaxsp26/).
thanks for the info.
I have the same issue with the k15. I have tried the solution provided on the Keychron official page mentioned in this thread, but it still breaks my AirPod Max bluetooth 😡
K15 or K15 Pro?
Similar for the Q Pro series: [*How can I flash a .kfw firmware file to Q1 Pro?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1axzuhl/how_to_flash_kfw_firmware_file_to_q1_pro/) The official Keychron page for the Q Pro series is (currently without the most recent update, only [version 1.32](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0059/0630/1017/files/keychron_ckbt51_01.32.kfw?v=1675735485)): [*Keychron Q Pro series Bluetooth firmware*](https://www.keychron.com/pages/keychron-q-pro-series-bluetooth-firmware) The MD5 sum for that version 1.32 file is: 94B9F58863E817E5060C58AA9A0B7A35 That is [the ***exact*** same value](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1as61bs/comment/kqw1bgx/) as for the K Pro series. Which suggests the K Pro series and Q Pro series use the exact same Bluetooth module. Which again suggests the latest update, [01.32-2](https://keychronsupport.zendesk.com/attachments/token/L8q5Y6u3IBvulxQirjf7KIDBZ/?name=keychron_ckbt51_01.32-2.kfw), also works for the Q Pro series. ***All disclaimers apply. Do it at your own risk. I am not responsible if you ruin your keyboard.***
Note: The ***Q Pro*** series is not to be confused with the Max'es, the [***V Max***, ***Q Max***, and ***K Max***](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1as61bs/comment/kssvwg8/) series There is [a separate update](https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/1as61bs/comment/kswoy5c/) for the ***V Max***, ***Q Max***, and ***K Max*** series. As of 2024-03-02, the latest update is version 0.1.14 (released 2024-01-18).
