Cidoo V87

The CIDOO V87 is a compact tenkeyless mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a quieter, more comfortable typing experience with versatile connectivity. It fits well for office workers, gamers, and programmers who value customization and multi-device use. Its gasket-mounted design and foam layers reduce typing noise and fatigue, while VIA software support enables remapping and macros.

Typing Experience

• Gasket-mounted design with imported PORON foam reduces key impact on the baseplate, resulting in a softer, quieter typing feel.
• Additional IXPE switch cushions and bottom foams further dampen sound and vibrations, making it suitable for shared or quiet environments.
• South-facing LED and dye-sublimation PBT keycaps offer durable, non-fading surfaces with consistent backlighting through the keycaps.
• Metal rotary knob allows quick volume and brightness adjustments, adding functional convenience without extra key presses.

Connectivity

• Supports Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless, and USB-C wired modes, allowing connection to multiple devices and stable wired use.
• Triple-mode setup is useful for users switching between workstations or devices without needing multiple keyboards.
• Battery capacity is 3000mAh, but exact battery life is unknown.

Customization and Compatibility

• VIA software support enables key remapping, macro creation, and RGB lighting adjustments without complex programming.
• TKL layout is compact but retains essential keys, suitable for users who want desk space without losing functionality.
• South-facing LEDs improve compatibility with certain keycap profiles and reduce interference with stabilizers.

Build Quality

• Powder-coated CNC aluminum case provides a solid, durable frame with moderate weight (2.16kg) for stability.
• PC flex-cut mounting plate complements the gasket mount to enhance typing comfort and sound absorption.
• Screw-in stabilizers improve key stability and reduce rattle on larger keys.

Trade-offs

• The keyboard is relatively heavy and may be less portable for frequent travel.
• Battery life details are not specified, so wireless usage duration is uncertain.
• Layout is limited to TKL, which may not suit users needing a numpad or smaller 60% layouts.
