Fl·esports FL Esports GP87 Mechanical Keyboard

The Fl·esports GP87 is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard suited for users who want a compact layout with customizable typing feel and sound. It fits well for hobbyists who swap switches, users needing quiet keypresses, and those who use both macOS and Windows systems. Its hot-swappable design and FN layer customization offer flexibility for varied workflows and preferences.

Key Features

• 87-key TKL layout saves desk space while retaining essential keys.
• Full hot-swappable PCB allows easy switch replacement without soldering.
• 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.
• Durable dual-tone PBT keycaps resist shine and wear over time.

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.
