KD87A Description:
This compact TKL keyboard is equipped with factory-lubed G3MS Sapphire mechanical switches. The keycaps are made of wear-proof double-shot PBT plastic, ensuring that the ENG characters will never fade over time. Additionally, the keyboard boasts a fully customizable RGB Backlight, greased PCB mount stabilizers, as well as a dual-layer soundproofing solution to cancel out unpleasant sounds.
87 KeysAn 80% keyboard is a full-size keyboard that is missing the Numpad, Otherwise known as a TKL. This size is ideal for gamers who require more desk space for mouse movement but also wish to retain the comfort of having the arrow keys further away from the other keys.
G3ms Sapphire Mechanical switchesG3ms switches are the first switches designed by the Dark Project engineering team. The improved design has a smaller connection area between the stem (moving part) and the housing, thereby the friction area has been reduced. G3ms Sapphire switches are lubricated during the manufacturing process to ensure maximum smoothness and reduction of any unpleasant soundsActuation force - 50gPre-travel - 2 mmDurability - 50 million keystrokes
Layout - ENGProfile - CherryKeycap Material - PBT (polybutylene terephthalate). PBT plastic is highly resistant to chemicals. Because of this, it is far more durable and abrasion resistant than ABS.Manufacturing technology - Double-Shot (double casting). The keycap consists of 2 separate plastic molds. Under high temperatures and pressure, these plastic molds are combined. Using this method ensures that the symbols on the keycaps will never be erased, even after long and intensive use.
Dual-layer Noise IsolationThere are 3 key components inside the Keyboard Case; The top and bottom covers (housing), the main supporting structure (chassis plate), and the printed circuit board (PCB). Dual-layer sound insulation is implemented where the printed circuit board (PCB) is attached to the main supporting structure (chassis plate) as well as between the chassis plate and the bottom cover of the housing. The noise insulation that is between these parts is made from special sound-absorbing foam.
Hot-SwappableHotSwap technology allows the user to replace the switches without disassembling the keyboard. There's no need for a desoldering iron anymore. Having easily replaceable switches doesn't only increase its maintainability but also offers the user the ability to fully customize the keyboard.
16.8 million RGB colorsBright RGB backlight with a wide range of fully customizable effects. A separate diode under each key provides a directional light beam, the intensity, and brightness can be regulated by the Dark Project software. You can also change the RGB backlight settings by pressing the pre-set key shortcuts that are listed in your manual.
Greased stabilizersDuring the keyboard's assembly process on the conveyor system, the stabilizers are greased, by hand. Greased stabilizers provide a smooth, pleasant feeling when pressed. Not only are they tactilely pleasant but also produce a pleasant sound, thanks to the grease.
