Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Womier K87 Hot Swappable Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Gateron Switch, TKL Compact 87 Keys, RGB Backlit, for PC, PS4, Xbox - Blue Switch, White by Adan Hudson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Solid build but a few issues

So overall the keyboard is great. There are a few issues that I've noticed, but there's nothing you can't change at some point in the future. I will list some of the issues below. This is a great starter board for customizing your keyboard. There are 5 switch slots on the board, so you can use many different types of switches on this board. The first thing I noticed was that the box was damaged during shipping. It came in a plastic mailer, would definitely have been better in a box. 2nd - The lighting is excellent. Love the brightness and the colors and was looking forward to the white color profile after watching some videos and it didn't disappoint, but there was an issue with the color the keycaps showed when lit up to white. You can see the yellow tint very clearly in the type of plastic they used for transparency under the keycap. I took a few photos to show the difference between the Butt Caps and the HyperX Pudding and it shows up very well in color. The keycaps are still very durable and have a nice feel, but I prefer the shade of white that I had with the other set of keycaps. The tab key had a small defect that I noticed when replacing it, but that's no big deal. 3. - The contents of the box don't mention anything about the software so I had to google to find an available google drive. The Womier series software lets you customize colors, not just use Fn key combinations to select preset colors. It's also not entirely known if you can create macros on the keyboard without software, but the software has been updated since last year to allow the user to create custom macros, so that's good ๐Ÿ‘4. - the build is solid but there is some vibration with switches. I went with the Gateron Browns and they feel good, but wouldn't hesitate to swap or oil them at some point in the future. The stabilizers are just as translucent as the rest of the board, but they also wobble, luckily this board has been modified so that lube and stabilizing bandages would have corrected much of the hollow, clicking wobble with longer wrenches. I've noticed that all stabilizers sound and feel different. Stabilizers also have inconsistencies. Some keys hardly wobbled, others moved a lot and were very loud.
