Okay, so I've been using this Machenike K500B-B87 for about a month now, and here's the tea ☕️
First off - THE LIGHTS. OMG. The RGB is insane! 11 different modes that make my desk look like a cyberpunk nightclub. My cat keeps trying to bat at the reflections on the wall 😂
The blue switches are SUPER clicky - like, my roommate can hear me typing through walls clicky. Great for gaming, maybe not ideal for late-night essay writing sessions unless you want to annoy people.
Hot-swappable feature is legit! I swapped out some keys with aftermarket switches and it was surprisingly easy (though one review said they had issues? Maybe got a lemon?). The PBT keycaps feel premium and haven't shown any shine yet.
Compact 87-key layout saves so much desk space! Still has number pad which was a must for me. Only complaint? The white/blue color scheme shows Cheeto dust way too easily 🥲
Overall? 8.5/10 - would recommend to any gamer who loves flashy gear and doesn't mind the clicky noise!
