Outdated Product
Wired mechanical TKL keyboard immediately grabs attention with its weight — 1310 g, which is almost twice that of most competitors of similar size. The reason is its solid metal construction: both the top panel and base are made of metal, giving the keyboard rigidity and stability — making it almost impossible to move with an accidental hand motion. Inside, it uses a Gasket Mount PCB attachment system, where the PCB is mounted on elastic pads that absorb vibrations and soften keypress sounds. G3ms Zircon linear switches, developed by the Dark Project team, are rated for 80 million keystrokes and support hot-swapping — if desired, any MX-compatible switches can be installed without soldering. The Dark Project ALU87A Daylight G3ms Zircon Switch keycaps are made by double...-shot molding from PBT plastic, with double-shot application for both Latin and Cyrillic characters — symbols will not wear off over time. A set of additional interchangeable caps is included. The open-type Skeleton case highlights per-key RGB lighting effects, and full protection from ghosting is ensured by the Anti-Ghosting and N-Key Rollover pairing. Detachable cable, in a fabric braid, with USB-C connector on the keyboard side.

How to choose a gaming keyboardLet's look at the differences between the types of switches and additional equipment for gaming keyboards

Middle class with premium brand quality

Dark Project ALU87A is an elegant and affordable TKL keyboard with a Skeleton case, comfortable rounded PBT keycaps, wide customization options and signature Zircon switches. At the same time, its price is significantly lower than similar models from Razer, SteelSeries, Logitech and other well-known manufacturers.

G3ms Zircon Linear Switches with 80 million click lifespan

In recent years, the production of high-quality switches has become a standard for many companies, and users no longer divide them exclusively into "Cherry" and all the rest. This model uses custom linear G3ms Zircon switches, which provide a short, smooth stroke with little effort when pressed. They are evenly lubricated, designed for 80 million actuations and support hot swapping. Under the long keys are installed lubricated PCB-mount stabilizers. Pressing is distinguished by a pleasant tactile feedback and a muffled, not too pronounced sound.

Heavy, stylish, well-built keyboard

The design and assembly deserve special attention. The gray and white color scheme gives the device an unusual appearance, high-quality plastic and reliable assembly make it solid. The keyboard looks expensive both with and without backlighting. The backlighting is unobtrusive, harmoniously complements the color scheme, although some may find it not bright enough - this is already a matter of preference. More than ten backlighting modes are available, which can be configured in the proprietary software, which also implements the ability to configure macros. The weight of the model is 1310 grams - it is securely held on the table, but may seem heavy when carrying. Traditionally, the cable is braided and easily detached, which simplifies cleaning the keyboard or replacing it.
