KUL ES-87 Tenkeyless Mechanical Keyboard (Cherry MX Black)

Really great keyboard overall. This is my first mech, and since I wasn't able to test MX Blacks specifically, it felt like a bit of a gamble in buying a more exclusive switch. However, I knew that I wanted a heavier switch than browns or reds, and since MX Clears are notorious for having a sort of *ping* sound, then I went with the linear version.The keyboard's construction is pleasantly heavy. Combined with the rubber pads on the bottom, it isn't going to be moving anywhere. It does have two flip-up feet, but I don't think I'll be using those. It also has options to reroute its cable in three different positions on the underside.I've tested the board thus far on TypeRacer, and scored up to a 125, with an average of 105 WPM, so I can type pretty quickly even with a heavier switch. I also have tried out some GTA V with it, and I haven't experienced any finger fatigue, even when holding W down for a while when driving/running.I'm not sure if this is mentioned, but the LED's under the Caps and Scroll lock keys are a bright blue. It doesn't matter to me, but it's worth mentioning here. The package itself contains a few alternative keys, including the aforementioned ones, so if you prefer to cover up the LED's then that's an option as well. As far as I can tell, the keycaps are fine for me for now. I've read that the stock ones this board ships with are of low quality, but given my lack of experience in this world I'm not really in a position to judge. I imagine that I'll end up buying higher-quality caps as these start wearing down, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.Overall I'm delighted with my purchase. Clacking away has been instantly addicting, and I look forward to working with this board for quite some time (though I have heard that acquiring mech boards can become a habit pretty quickly).

My first purchased mechanical keyboard and completely happy with it. I prefer Cherry Black because it's a heavier key press, and it is on this keyboard. Keyboard is heavy, built solid.

Amazing build quality, but Cherry MX Blacks are waaaay too heavy of a switch for me to use everyday for typing/gaming. I wish Amazon carried the Cherry MX red version of this keyboard, I'd buy one for myself and one for my brother!

I don't have a lot of mechanical keyboard experience, but I have done a lot of research. I had the budget for a much more expensive keyboard, but I eventually settled on this one and I'm glad I did. I honestly don't know how a keyboard could feel more 'solid' than this thing. It's the best way to describe it. Nothing about this thing feels flimsy at all. I got the Cherry MX Clears with mine and the thing just feels like a tank. I love it.If you're looking for a great TKL keyboard at a pretty awesome price, then this should be at the top of your list.
