Comfortable mechanical keyboard with individual RGB backlighting for each key, launching in 2023. The model uses a shortened layout with 87 buttons (80%). The keys are based on proprietary G3ms Sapphire Switches with a working life of 50 million clicks. The buttons are pressed softly, with a pleasant tactile response. The actuation stroke is 2 mm and the full stroke is 4 mm. This device has the ability to hot-swappable switches. Now, when changing switches, there is no need to completely disassemble the case and solder components. The Dark Project KD87A ABS G3ms Sapphire Switch computer keyboard has a removable power cable. The interface for connecting to a PC is represented by a USB port. To connect to the device, a USB Type-C connector is used. The standard wire has a soft fabric braid,...which will protect the connector from kinks and cracking of the protective sheath. The bottom panel is equipped with a cable management system with the ability to route wires to three sides (right, left and front). All buttons have a backlit symbol. This keyboard uses Cyrillic, Ukrainian and Latin layouts. The case design has a skeleton format, which greatly simplifies cleaning and maintenance of the device.

wonderful model, really honored

Read a couple of comments saying it's a waste of money, don't believe it. The keyboard is amazing, previously I had the SteelSeries Apex M750 TKL. The Dark is quieter and more tactile. Yes, the software is simple, but what more do you want, you set it up once and you're done. Satisfied 10/10.
Heavy, high-quality keycaps (even if ABS), lighting and lighting modes.

The keyboard is wonderful and I don’t mind the cost of buying it.
Wonderful software has the ability to customize the warning (there are a lot of options ready). Macros can be customized. The miracle's clue itself is visible in the darkness.
Little bits of it to spoil the farb.

A marvelous mechanical keyboard, one of the best on the market for a pittance.
Liked the soft key travel, not noisy, with factory lubrication of the keys, quick key replacement possibility, shortened form factor that takes some getting used to, but then regular full-sized keyboards seem very bulky, taking up a lot of desk space. Soft backlighting with versatile adjustment options.
Lack of Hot Swap

Ideal choice for gamers

Dark Project KD87A is the result of careful development focused on the needs of gamers. It features G3ms' unique linear sapphire switches for excellent responsiveness and durability. Despite the plastic base, the keyboard is durable and weighty. Laser-engraved keys are made using double casting technology, and the Hot Swap function allows for flexible switch configuration. In a short time, Dark Project has released many variations of the KD87A, offering a wide variety of mechanical switches and formats.

Attention to detail

The KD87A impresses with its attention to small but important details. Full Anti-Ghosting support ensures that the system will register every keystroke, even if the user presses all keys simultaneously. The keycaps are made from durable double ABS plastic and the switches are pre-lubricated for a better typing feel. The presence of support for N-KRO and game mode, as well as the ability to customize multiple backlight modes and macros through proprietary software, makes it an ideal keyboard for gamers.

Unique and stylish design

The KD87A's design stands out from other mechanical keyboards. Manufacturers are striving to offer something new, moving away from traditional black colors. Dark Project offers customers the choice of an all-white or purple body with white, pink or purple keycaps. The white and purple model is particularly eye-catching, with uniform backlighting at 50% brightness, creating an elegant and modern look.
