Title: Is this B.87 replica from taobao any good?
Post by: potatobot on Fri, 24 June 2016, 12:12:55

Ive been browsing around and i saw someone in the classified's selling this fake b.87 keyboard. I finally found a link that had detailed pictures of this b.87 replica.

My friend always does groupbuys via taobao and found the supplier of that certain board. After negotiating, he was able to get a pretty good deal for that replica.

The keyboard really looks like the original aside from the port not on the top left side.

Lots of customization options were available, including hot swappable led mod and anodized plates(black,red,pink)

Finally, the keyboard is also programmable.

I currently own a varmilo va87 and im not really a fan of leds on my keyboard but that b.87 really does look awesome.

I really wanted to get my hands on an RS68 tho.

Should i get this board or just wait for the RS68 to become available?

Cheers!

From the feedback from one of the buyers it says it looks good but feels bad. The red switches are stiff.

Oh? I though they came with gaterons. Maybe the stabilizers?
