amazon IKBC C87 reviews
IKBC is no stranger to keyboard players with the line G (G104, G87) quite popular. I joined many groups on the gear and keyboard to see my brother IKBC C87 (tenkeyless) is also a lot, as a good keyboard / cost effective.
By the description, the keyboard is quite nice, Cherry switch, keycap thick PBT, NKRO, able to mod leds …
Unbox
The back of the keyboard is a basic keyboard (Chinese language, pre-understood is the ability to lock win, conversion from NKRO <=> 6KRO, keycap PBT …).
Gift stick, keypuller steel (this type of safe key extracts), red – blue blank keys pretty nice, fine finish and dust cover mica. USB gold plated ensures good contact.
Just a little bit about the keypad, two completely identical sets of four R1 and one R4 key, so just replace the arrows with the ESC button is the most reasonable, but my hamster instead of a set of WASD not familiar ( Because this place is R3 + R4).
The white keys have to say it is very beautiful, but what is the price of it, using black is not worry. At least not used to cover the mica again, clean after few days is OK.
The back is still in accordance with the overall design: very simple, 3-way wire, high-grade slip feet, 2-stage stand also equipped with non-slip feet. Under normal conditions of use, the key is not accidentally slipped, and the cord does not fall out of the slot when the keyboard is lifted.
Brief description: I highly appreciate the design of the C87, simple, sophisticated (classic like filco), white is very beautiful. I really do not like the type of gaming bumpy. Useful accessories.
Switch: the product uses Cherry switch. About Cherry switch does not have to say much, this is the oldest experience so Cherry products are also quality and stability. The switch is mounted backwards from the direction of view, so that the LED illuminates the keycap nicely.
Keycap: Use OEM profile (high keycap) to play the oddcap keycap, thick PBT material. I review the use of blue switch click very dress, not too big and annoying. Beautiful font. The character on the key is quite sharp and, unfortunately, this keycap is not a kind of LED.
Finish quality: Very good quality, very strong, solid connections, no screws, even solid parts. Nice metal switch holder. Instant cable, which is rubber-coated.
Very nice circuit, clean, able to mod leds, somehow IKBC point lead to the foot of the foot, so when the mod takes a bit more, it is always better to open.
Perfection with the Cherry switch, the product feels very good typing, the keys have a fairly uniform pressure (the blue switch has a pressing force of about 60g 土 5), generally satisfied with the quality of Cherry . Further with the PBT keycap, the C87 gives the best typing feel, as well as typing, and is certainly not glossy after a period of use like most keyboards on the market.
NKRO: IKBC announces C87 USB full speed, capable of receiving all keys simultaneously (called NKRO) at 3kHZ (3 signals / ms). Actual use when pressing both hands (10 keys) keyboard still works correctly.
