Know before you buy
Unlike traditional mechanical switches that rely on physical metal contacts, electrocapacitive switches use non-contact sensors to register keypresses. This results in a smoother, more consistent typing feel and increased durability over time.
No, this keyboard is not hot-swappable. The switches are soldered to the PCB, so you cannot change them out for different mechanical switches without desoldering.
Yes, the MA87M is fully compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems right out of the box via its USB connection.
PBT is a high-quality plastic that is more resistant to wear and shine than the standard ABS plastic found on many keyboards. The dye-sublimated legends are also infused into the plastic, ensuring they won't fade or peel over time.
Yes, the MA87M features dedicated multimedia keys, allowing you to easily control volume and playback without needing to navigate through software menus.
A Tenkeyless layout removes the dedicated number pad on the right side of the keyboard. This creates a more compact footprint, which provides more room for your mouse and keeps your hands closer together for a more ergonomic posture.
