Meticulously designed from the ground up to have the utmost reliability and a clean minimalistic look; the Keyed Up Labs ES-87 keyboard's rigid construction uniquely maximizes the tactility and durability of authentic Cherry MX mechanical key switches while offering features and modern styling that appeals to power users and professionals. Whether you're a serious writer, a competitive gamer, or a jack of all trades; you can depend on the KUL ES-87.

Also, the reduced "Tenkeyless" layout of the ES-87 embraces a new-ergonomic standard by dispensing with the often unused tenkeypad and allowing operation of a pointing device nearer to the body; thereby reducing shoulder strain. Multi-OS compatibility along with modern styling and unique color options make the ES-87 an inspiring and competent addition to any home or office workstation.

I chose this keyboard hoping for a near replacement for my long-gone Model M. It exceeded my expectations. I actually enjoy typing on this more than a Model M.

Overall it is a heavy, solid-feeling keyboard. It doesn't slip on my desks.

The Cherry Green switches are firm but responsive. They have a noticeable sound, not much louder than tactile switches such as Cherry Browns but a lot sharper-sounding. I recommend o-rings, although the difference is minimal.

The keycaps are ABS but feel high-quality. I'm not inclined to swap them at this point, although it would be easy to do.

The mode switches allow for some basic tweaks; switching Caps Lock and Control, for example. The set includes the keycaps, too.

I really like this keyboard. It is built extremely well, I love all the cable routing options, and the ten key less form factor. I really don't have much to say that I do not like. Just a good looking, solidly built, great keyboard.
