> 3 dayIm just entering the world of mechanical keyboards and customizing them. The Womier (Gamakay) K87 is a WONDERFUL starter board. It would have been perfect on its own. The sound is great and the feel is sooo smooth, but I chose to swap out the keycaps to pudding caps, lubed the switches and added some dampener rings because I wanted it to be good for my quiet office setting. Its working out perfectly!

> 3 daySo I bought this keyboard about a month ago and I noticed 2 things, the spacebar stabs are bad, and everything else is good. A suggestion I have is a wider variate of colors, such as red green blue etc instead of just rainbow

> 3 dayLove it. First hot swappable and it’s great for beginners. Slapping some pudding caps and gateron yellows on there and it was great. For the style of keyboard it is I totally recommend tactile switches. But that’s just my opinion. Very bright and I love mine!

> 3 dayMy 11 year old daughter spent her birthday money to buy this keyboard. It looked/felt/typed great for about 7 months and then the lights just stopped working for the keys. Weve tried everything but cant get the key lights working again, though the lights around the border still work. Loved it while it worked but now is just a regular keyboard for an expensive price that cant be used in low light settings. UPDATE: The XVX shop didnt have any hints nor did we see how to contact them, but reading the questions under the product we learned that FN + The backspace key for 5-7 does a factory reset, which caused the lights to start working again.

Greater than one weekThis is my second mechanical keyboard and with all the keyboard components I wanted not all available (to build my own custom keyboard) and still feeling too new to dive that deep, I decided Id have fun doing a budget keyboard by buying this keyboard until after I move and do a proper set up. I thought Id get some keycaps from amazon and mod the stabilizers and lube the switches. It took me a good 5 minutes of struggle to pull out ONE switch... I thought I was going crazy, like suddenly I didnt know how to pull a switch. But I thought... maybe its the board since each hole is carved out in this thick acrylic... you know, just needs some elbow grease. After about an hour and less than 5 switches pulled, I got a lil crazy and pulled the board apart. I unscrewed the back and took apart the top plate/frame and board. I was very careful as I didnt want to bend any of the pins. I then used the included brush and used the end of it to tap out each individual switch from underneath. Still needed some extra elbow grease, but this helped remove the switches a lot faster. After lubing all the switches and stabs, then modding the stabilizers using some electrical tape, I put the board back together. Im not sure if this was just my board, but the cut outs for the switches were definitely like puzzle pieces and you had to fit them just right to get them to go in well. A total of 8 hours... no joke... and I finished the board. Ive been using this board for about a week now and even with all the frustration with taking it apart, Id still recommend it. *Now, being made of acrylic this board is very scratch prone. But I definitely love the frosted look to it especially with the RGB. *not really ergonomic like most mechanical keyboards. it has some rubber feet, but theyre pretty short and isnt really giving it that nice of an incline. but easily fixed with a wrist rest in terms of comfort *I didnt see reviews of this both on here or YouTube, but switches were hard to pull... at least for me. but it helped to unscrew the board. *TKL board so Im very happy Ive got designated arrow keys and a row of function keys. the 60% board is great in terms of size and portability (not really carrying it around), but I was getting annoyed of all the shortcuts and extra buttons I had to press to use certain keys. *Im not crazy about RGB, so I like that this board has A LOT of options in terms of light choices and patterns *I have extra usb c cables... they dont work with this keyboard. like I mentioned earlier, this is only my second keyboard and Im not great on like cables and technicalities so not sure if maybe this needs a specific type of cable, but my usb c to c dont work and only the included cable seems to work... but Im having to use a dongle so I can use it on my Mac. *the original keycaps that come with the board are nice and not too tacky in terms of font and style *overall saved me a minimum of $100 as well as time as with prime, this all shipped very quickly and I didnt have to wait for group orders or waiting for delivery. EVEN WITH THE STRUGGLE, MOD IT. sounds so much better and not rattly

> 3 dayTL;DR 10/10 amazing value keyboard with undeniably amazing RBG. Well built, solid construction, responsive switches, great feeling OEM profile PBT keycaps with clear legends and great shine-through. Stabilizers aren’t horrible and have some factory lubing, but grab some Krytox 205G0 to lubricate the stabs. Another reviewer mentioned that dielectric grease is a no go as the low profile exposes the stabs to more dust than high profile boards, gumming up the grease, but I have 0 experience. This is my first actual mechanical keyboard aside from my numpad so take this liberally if you’re looking to add this to your mech collection. I have been lurking for months on keyboard subreddits, youtube channels, and price checking every site I could find. Any comparable keyboard to this is over double the price (except 1 KPRepublic board) and you will likely have to wait for things to come in stock. This is ready to go, right now, with 1 day shipping to some people. - KPRepublic ZeeYoo 65% - $78.90 but it’s a 65% so keycaps will be hard to find outside of KPRepublic, and feel a little cramped IMO. Oh and shipping takes 1 month, or 2-3 weeks if you express ship. - Epomaker GK68XS Acrylic (with Bluetooth) - $175 barebones, $115 from Banggood with coupon, $90 case only if you want to do a conversion of your existing GK68 bumping the total price to $195 - Tofu65 - $108 just for the case no PCB, $166 barebones from aliexpress, oh and you’ll have to learn how to solder because theres no hotswap option. - Womier K66 - The 65% little brother to this board is $76, but has ABS keycaps, south-facing switches (good for cherry profile keycaps to prevent interference, but shine-through and RGB brilliance will be affected), and no page up/page down keys. You’ll also have to sacrifice the secondary legends if you replace the keycaps, and personally finding side-lit or even south oriented legends for 65% keycaps drove me up a wall because while there are many color options, none of them are pudding style. There was an option for reverse pudding keycaps (side-lit legends, clear top) but I don’t know about making my keyboard look like a midi controller. With some very standard mods, stabilizer & band-aid modding, then switch lubing & filming if you really felt like it ($20 for supplies), this board could easily sound just as amazing as it looks. The RGB is amazing. No I haven’t figured out how to do solid colors but the effects on this board are enough to keep me content for a lifetime. Reactive modes, non-reactive modes, color patterns and waves, it it really helps me see my desk in my dark apartment and also really brings me joy to use every day. Check out some youtube reviews to get all the functions as the included directions do not have them all. Get this board if you’re looking for something RGB, smaller than a full size, and easily customizable. The keycaps are PBT and will not fade, albeit they are thin and not very THOCC, but enough to hold you over until you get your pudding keycaps in, Gateron switches provide more value than any other switch as Cherry is far too overpriced and Otemus would likely make the hotswap Otemu only, and it doesn’t feel cheaply made at all to where I have concerns about the build quality or durability. I am so amazed, excited, and impressed with this as my first mechanical keyboard after months of checking out group buys, r/mechmarket, and watching from TaeKeyboards to the Dredgen Project, this absolutely provides a great value and great experience. The hotswap PCB and standard key sizes make customization very simple and I could not be happier. I only wished I grabbed a wrist rest as the keyboard sits a little high and the lack of any incline makes the typing angle harder on the wrists.

> 3 dayThis is my third time buying this keyboard, the first two were gifts for my daughter and friend. While I was setting up some pudding keycaps on theirs, I fell in love with the lighting preset called Flowers Blooming, so much so that I decided to get one for myself. Keyboard arrived quickly, slapped some front side legend puddings on it and tried to set the preset to the one I like, turns out its the only one that doesnt work. Selecting that preset, either through the FN+PGUP or through the software, the effect is that of Go with the stream, but slightly slimmer color bands. Im wondering if I need to return it, or if theres a firmware update that I just havnt had the skill to find yet. Very let down with an otherwise beautify product (would be 5 stars without the problem voiding the entire reason for the purchase)

> 3 dayIt looks stunning, especially with pudding keycaps. I got brown switches, and they feel much different the other brown switches I’ve used. They’re extremely light and easy to press, and they have a very soft sound. After a few minutes though I realize they’re so smooth to type on. It has a USB-C port too which is great, and it looks amazing The only bad thing about this keyboard are the fact that it doesn’t have feet, so it sits flat against the desk. I have to prop it up to type comfortably.
