Know before you buy
The VPH87 features a standard hotswap PCB compatible with most 3-pin and 5-pin MX-style mechanical switches. This allows you to swap switches without soldering, though you should ensure your chosen switches are compatible with the standard MX footprint.
The dual silicone pads are integrated to absorb vibrations and hollow sounds within the case. This results in a deeper, more muted acoustic profile and a slightly softer bottom-out feel compared to standard mechanical keyboards.
No, the Dye Sub PBT keycaps are highly resistant to the oils and friction that cause standard ABS keycaps to develop a glossy shine. They maintain a textured, matte finish even after extensive use.
Yes, the VPH87 is fully compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. While it uses a standard US QWERTY layout, it functions plug-and-play across all three operating systems.
The white LED backlight provides a clean, consistent glow designed for visibility in low-light environments. You can adjust the brightness levels directly from the keyboard, but it does not feature RGB color customization.
The keyboard features a cable routing system on the underside that allows you to direct the USB-C cable out of the left, right, or center of the back edge. This helps keep your desk setup tidy and prevents cable interference with other peripherals.
