I have choices between those two.
Is there any more difference besides number of keys and minor cosmetic difference?
Such as the build quality and feels of the switches?

The 87U is unfortunately no longer available NIB (New in Box) outside of Asia. It is known to be available in Korea and (possibly) China.

It is a tenkeyless Realforce similar to the 86U, but it has some special extra features. It includes a keypuller, lavender blank WASD keys and a red esc key. It also has a built in virtual numpad, an extra windows key and LEDs embedded in the caps lock and num lock keys. It is available in both variable-weight and all 55g weighting. The Caps Lock and CTRL keys are swappable and configurable using the on-board dip-switches, and it comes with the extra keys to do the swap.

There's no typing difference besides key weighting if you choose to go with the 55g version. I'm pretty sure that 87U's are extremely hard to get.

I see 14 listings of 87U on taobao.com. But it is hard to say who actually has them in stock unless you ask the sellers.

Group buy via buying agent? ;-)

It's cheaper to get them from Taiwan for about 8900NTD.

Either armygroup or Inpad should stock them.
