Review on Womier K87 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Gateron Switch TKL Hot Swappable Keyboard Partitioned RGB Backlit Compact 87 Keys For PC PS4 Xbox (Yellow Switch by Joshua Beaule

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Working, reliable, switches WON'T fail for me

This keyboard works, is already in good condition and I have personalized it to my liking by replacing Gateron Blue with a Kailh BOX Jade and Shimethru OEM have keycaps. with XDA "Manekineko" keycap set. I read in a review that apparently because of the hot swap the buttons and switches "fall out" of the board if you turn it upside down - this doesn't happen to me at all. Anyway, to me the switches there are pretty solid - there are little indentations in the acrylic for the switch hooks. I suspect another reviewer misadjusted their switches or used very worn or deformed switches. I saw another reviewer complain that the board's plastic case is flimsy and flexes when you turn it over. It flexes a bit when I twist it, but it's such a strange and intentional act - the slight flexing of the case isn't a problem at all for everyday typing and use. Maybe it's a problem if you take your keyboard with you in a flexible bag? But I think reports that this keyboard is too flexible are grossly exaggerated. I noticed that the stock images show different key lettering on the keys. I've attached a picture of my standard keycaps to show the font used in the February 2021 release I received. It's a much cleaner font than the ugly font you see on most cheap translucent keycaps.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • Poor set
