Greater than one weekThis is my second mechanical keyboard and with all the keyboard components I wanted not all available (to build my own custom keyboard) and still feeling too new to dive that deep, I decided Id have fun doing a budget keyboard by buying this keyboard until after I move and do a proper set up. I thought Id get some keycaps from amazon and mod the stabilizers and lube the switches. It took me a good 5 minutes of struggle to pull out ONE switch... I thought I was going crazy, like suddenly I didnt know how to pull a switch. But I thought... maybe its the board since each hole is carved out in this thick acrylic... you know, just needs some elbow grease. After about an hour and less than 5 switches pulled, I got a lil crazy and pulled the board apart. I unscrewed the back and took apart the top plate/frame and board. I was very careful as I didnt want to bend any of the pins. I then used the included brush and used the end of it to tap out each individual switch from underneath. Still needed some extra elbow grease, but this helped remove the switches a lot faster. After lubing all the switches and stabs, then modding the stabilizers using some electrical tape, I put the board back together. Im not sure if this was just my board, but the cut outs for the switches were definitely like puzzle pieces and you had to fit them just right to get them to go in well. A total of 8 hours... no joke... and I finished the board. Ive been using this board for about a week now and even with all the frustration with taking it apart, Id still recommend it. *Now, being made of acrylic this board is very scratch prone. But I definitely love the frosted look to it especially with the RGB. *not really ergonomic like most mechanical keyboards. it has some rubber feet, but theyre pretty short and isnt really giving it that nice of an incline. but easily fixed with a wrist rest in terms of comfort *I didnt see reviews of this both on here or YouTube, but switches were hard to pull... at least for me. but it helped to unscrew the board. *TKL board so Im very happy Ive got designated arrow keys and a row of function keys. the 60% board is great in terms of size and portability (not really carrying it around), but I was getting annoyed of all the shortcuts and extra buttons I had to press to use certain keys. *Im not crazy about RGB, so I like that this board has A LOT of options in terms of light choices and patterns *I have extra usb c cables... they dont work with this keyboard. like I mentioned earlier, this is only my second keyboard and Im not great on like cables and technicalities so not sure if maybe this needs a specific type of cable, but my usb c to c dont work and only the included cable seems to work... but Im having to use a dongle so I can use it on my Mac. *the original keycaps that come with the board are nice and not too tacky in terms of font and style *overall saved me a minimum of $100 as well as time as with prime, this all shipped very quickly and I didnt have to wait for group orders or waiting for delivery. EVEN WITH THE STRUGGLE, MOD IT. sounds so much better and not rattly

Greater than one weekMy niece has been eyeing this keyboard for a long while and after her previous keyboard went through some problems I wanted to surprise her. Upon its arrival, I noticed how good quality the keyboard was. Has a thick base and it’s a good size. I have a ducky myself keyboard and this is honestly good for its value. I loved how instantly the RGB lights shined through the key caps and around the base. In the instructional manual, you can find a guide in changing the colors whether it be changing the color rhythm or changing it to a solid color. What I loved the most is that it wasn’t too loud and is precise.

> 3 dayIm just entering the world of mechanical keyboards and customizing them. The Womier (Gamakay) K87 is a WONDERFUL starter board. It would have been perfect on its own. The sound is great and the feel is sooo smooth, but I chose to swap out the keycaps to pudding caps, lubed the switches and added some dampener rings because I wanted it to be good for my quiet office setting. Its working out perfectly!

> 3 dayIt looks stunning, especially with pudding keycaps. I got brown switches, and they feel much different the other brown switches I’ve used. They’re extremely light and easy to press, and they have a very soft sound. After a few minutes though I realize they’re so smooth to type on. It has a USB-C port too which is great, and it looks amazing The only bad thing about this keyboard are the fact that it doesn’t have feet, so it sits flat against the desk. I have to prop it up to type comfortably.

Greater than one weekI love the way this keyboard sounds and looks, unfortunately you cant change the case lighting like you can the switch lighting, but it still sounds and performs great! Very satisfied with the purchase

Greater than one weekI eventually replaced this with another brand (Keychron) but used it for a year or so and loved it! Great style + color, RGB is great, hot-swappable makes it easy to customize / replace as needed, and the software isnt bad at all. Would recommend if you want a white/light keyboard design for your workspace, and the acrylic + RGB is beautiful.

> 3 dayI like its small footprint of the keyboard and being able to change the switches to fit my need for office and occasionally ARPG play. I ordered the red switch version and the keystroke is very light and linear. Im getting used to it now though I was looking for something more tactile but didnt find much information about the differences between the blue, brown, and red switches. So some research of the switches is necessary if you are looking into this keyboard. I like the build-in chroma modes which do not require an installation of software. The color of the LED backlight is beautiful when flashing through the acrylic keyboard frame. I wish there is a way to increase the brightness of the LEDs behinds the keycaps independently from the accent lights around the keyboard which tend to be a little too bright.

> 3 dayI was interested in this product once I saw the product images and watched more videos about it. There are many customization options when it comes to lighting, so theres bound to be one that you like. You can also switch it off if thats something you dont care for. I opted for the brown switches, as I prefer tactile switches. After using the Logitech G915 TKL in Tactile Switches, I had to get used to these, as the Logitech keyboard was low profile. But Im able to type faster, and like the sound of these more. Highly recommend!
