Hey guys!

First post! Not affiliated with Velocifire at all so I think I correctly selected not associated with them. I reviewed their keyboard on YouTube and they provided me a 20% discount to put on YouTube, but I decided to share it on OzBargain as an Aussie YouTuber.

For anyone interested in the keyboard here is what I think:

There are loads of different options so do not be fooled and be sure to check other keyboards and not just my review. In terms of a Mac specific layout, it might fit your gaming setup if you do use a Mac!

The M87 is focused on gamers and those who want a fancier keyboard than what the typical Apple provides. If this is your first mechanical keyboard, I would definitely say buy and try! If you are an enthusiast look elsewhere. It has its flaws but does provide a decent typing experience on the budget.

POSITIVES -
+ Metal Plate
+ Ten-Key-less
+ Apple/Mac OS Layout (Works on windows but flipped windows key)
+ Easy to clean and replace keycaps
+ Improved stabilizer mechanism

MIDGROUND -
-+ No RGB (Not everyone likes it on cheaper keyboards)

NEGATIVES -
- Low Quality Checking (By the time of submitting this video, Velocifire confirmed they would double check what occurred and improve the issues mentioned in the video)
- No detachable cable :(
- No lube on the stabilizers (but even some known and expensive keyboard manufacturers don't lube their stabs - Hyper X, Corsair, etc)
- Only available with cheap tactile brown switches. (They told me they will be making a change to better switches in the future after watching my video.)

    Link to product page where we can purchase, not to a static picture, please.

    Edit: thanks doweyy for fixing the link.

    • I changed. It sorry, I thought it said to add a picture, not a link to a picture :)

      • The thumbnails are automatically generated. On rare occasions the grabber doesn't work as intended and you end up with a blank.

        • I see! Thanks for the advice :)

      No sorry. Just new to using OzBargain as a user, but I have been using the discounts people provide here for years (just without an account lol)!

    your link should go to their website.

    Just FYI, any mac users looking to use a mech keyboard, you can use any keyboard and remap the buttons with karabiner elements

    may have been better off with their TKL02 from Amazon, previously it was $46, unavailable now though

  • Woops not sure what happened there! 2 seconds…

    Edit: It seems you did not click - go to deal on the right. I did nothing wrong :P!

  • any bluetooth TLK mech brown/blue Keyboards?

      Not that I am aware of! Better off with a Anne Pro 2.

    • Hey! Nice to see you!

      Glad you liked it :)

  • Left Cmd and X aren't aligned like they are on a true Mac keyboard - instant no go :'(

    • What is the benefit of that exactly? :)

  • where's the "fn" key (bottom left - left of "control") Deal Breaker

    • It's on the right side. Like many typical mechanical keyboards available on the market.

  • can you game on mac using this mechanical keyboard
