Fl·esports FL Esports GP87

The Fl·esports GP87 is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a compact layout with customizable typing feel and sound.

Its hot-swappable design and FN layer customization offer flexibility for varied workflows and preferences.

Key Features

• FN Layer Editor enables custom key functions via onboard memory and software.
• RGB backlighting with 16.8 million colors offers adjustable lighting effects.

Typing Experience

• Gasket-mounted structure with silicone silencer pad reduces internal sound resonance, producing softer acoustics.
• Factory-lubricated, high-precision stabilizers provide smoother, quieter keypresses.
• Available with Gateron Yellow, Gateron White, and Kalih Box White switches, offering different tactile and linear options.

Build Quality

• Gasket mounting improves typing comfort by adding cushioning between the plate and case.
• Keycaps use Cherry profile for a familiar, ergonomic shape.
• Overall construction focuses on acoustic control and typing softness rather than heavy-duty materials.

Trade-offs

• No wireless connectivity, limiting use to wired setups only.
• Switch options limited to a few Gateron and Kalih models, which may not satisfy users seeking more variety.
• Software customization is required for FN layer editing, which may not suit users preferring hardware-only remapping.
