{"product_id":"the-gasket-eighty-seven-mechanical-keyboard","title":"The Gasket Eighty-Seven | Tri-Mode 87-Key Mechanical Keyboard, 5-Layer Damping","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"product-narrative\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSound Is Half of a Mechanical Keyboard. Switch feel gets the attention and the acoustics get ignored, which is why so many boards that feel right in a shop sound hollow at a desk. The F87 Pro treats the noise as a design problem: a gasket-mounted plate floating on five layers of damping, so the keystroke lands as a low thock rather than a plastic rattle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree ways to connect, one board. Wireless at 2.4 GHz for latency that holds up in a match, Bluetooth for the tablet and the phone, and a wired USB connection when you want the battery out of the conversation. Switching between them is a combination rather than a cable hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEighty-seven keys means the number pad steps aside. That is the space a mouse needs and the width a shoulder should not have to travel. PBT keycaps resist the shine that ABS develops after a few months of heavy typing, and the hot-swap sockets mean the switch choice is a preference you can revise rather than a purchase you regret.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProgrammable lighting, no wrist rest required, and a gasket structure that keeps the typing angle low. It ships as the Star Trek B colourway with the Smart V3 axis option. If you are choosing between the switch types, tell us whether you type or play and we will say which one suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA keyboard is the tool you touch more than any other.

Writers and developers choose it because the five-layer damping keeps an open-plan office from hearing every sentence they compose. Gamers run it at 2.4 GHz when latency matters and switch to Bluetooth for the laptop without unplugging anything. Students use the 87-key footprint because it fits a shared desk and a rucksack in the same week. Anyone who has bought a keyboard by switch type and immediately wished they had chosen differently is the buyer the hot-swap sockets were designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\" style=\"margin-top:32px;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight:600;margin:0 0 4px 0;\"\u003eQ: How many devices can I pair at once?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;color:#555;\"\u003eA: It switches between the 2.4 GHz receiver and Bluetooth devices, so you can move between a desktop, a laptop and a tablet without re-pairing.
