What kind of keyboard is the Weikav NUT87?

The NUT87 is a tenkeyless (TKL) mechanical keyboard. It keeps the main typing area and function keys while leaving out the dedicated number pad, making it a more compact option for desks where extra mouse space is useful.

What is the case made from?

Its case is precision-machined from 6063 aluminum and finished to a 220-grit standard. The result is a smooth, matte surface paired with a solid metal construction.

How does the gasket-mounted design affect typing?

A gasket mount is intended to add a little give between the plate assembly and the case. This can make keystrokes feel less rigid than on a firmly fixed mounting style, though the exact feel also depends on the plate and the rest of the keyboard’s configuration.

Can I use the NUT87 wirelessly?

Yes. The NUT87 is described as having high-speed wireless connectivity, so it can be used without a cable for a less cluttered setup. Specific wireless protocols and connection details are not stated here.

Does it have customizable lighting?

Yes. Its reactive lighting can be customized, allowing you to adjust the keyboard’s visual presentation rather than relying on a single fixed lighting effect.

What is the difference between the Feather and Knurled versions?

The versions pair different weights with different plates: Feather weights come with an FR4 plate, while Knurled weights come with a PC plate. Those plate materials can contribute to different typing feels, so the choice is worth considering if you have a preferred sound or key response.

Is the Weikav NUT87 suitable for gaming?

Its TKL layout leaves more room for mouse movement than a full-size keyboard, and its high-speed wireless connectivity is designed with performance in mind. It can also suit everyday typing and creative work, making it a flexible choice for a mixed-use setup.

What does the NUT87’s feather design refer to?

The keyboard features a feather-inspired design element alongside its different plate options. It gives the model a distinctive visual detail while the FR4 or PC plate choice offers a separate way to tailor the typing experience.

Product Description

The Weikav NUT87 is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard for users who want a smaller desk footprint without giving up the function row and arrow keys. Its wireless option and customizable lighting may suit gaming or general desktop use, while the gasket-mounted design and plate choices give keyboard hobbyists some control over typing feel. Wireless latency and battery life are unknown.

Build and typing feel

The CNC-machined aluminum case provides a rigid metal enclosure. A gasket mount, which cushions the plate inside the case, is intended to give typing a less rigid feel. The board comes with different plate choices depending on its weight design: FR4 with Feather weights or PC with Knurled weights. The vendor describes these as options for different typing feels, but does not specify how they sound or compare.

Features and flexibility

Wireless connectivity reduces cable clutter, but the supported connection modes and real-world responsiveness are unknown.
Reactive lighting allows visual customization, though its controls and software support are not specified.
The plate and weight combinations offer some choice in feel without requiring users to choose a different layout.

Trade-offs

This is a less suitable choice if you need a number pad, want confirmed wireless performance, or need clear details about key remapping, operating-system support, and lighting software. Those details are not provided here. The available information also does not establish whether the board is quiet, so it may not be the right pick if low typing noise is a priority.
