iKBC CD87V2 Classic Black

Cherry MX Clears review. Great keyboard and great value. It is hard to find a relatively rare switch like clears (or greens) at this price point. I own a 60% keyboard from this company and I have used that off and on for years with no issues so I was really happy to find a keyboard from them that also will ship quickly. The key caps themselves feel just fine. Admittedly, it is hard for me to rate them since I have used aftermarket caps that are much heavier and nicer and these are definitely thinner but the keyset cost almost as much as this keyboard. These are at least standard feeling keycaps and there are no issues. Clears are great tactile switches. I somewhat like the heaviness of the greens but these are a little lighter but still have a great tactile feeling without the strong click-- perfect for writing papers. I do a lot of gaming on the keyboard and this probably isn't something you want to do "pro" gaming on but it's completely enjoyable to play shooters and even games with rapid button press QTEs on. It's a great switch all around and I find clears and greens to be a major improvement from browns and blues. The weight is much better.

I really like this keyboard for few reasons: It looks clean and minimalist, no brand name written in awkward positions, high quality double shot PBT keycups with very clean and classic font letters (I hate some stupid gaming style fonts) useful volume control keys from F1 to F4 without additional symbols on it and finally genuine Cherry MX switches, although i would love to see this keyboard with new Cherry MX2A switches. Build quality is solid it's heavy and sturdy, also i like to mention that in dark situation keycups reflects the light and letters are still visible. Overall if you don't care about RGB light i recommend this keyboard to everyone

I got this keyboard about a year ago. Replaced it recently. It is a great keyboard out of the box, although my unit's stabilizers were pretty dry and the spacebar had some ticking. It's built like a tank and is definitely great as a work keyboard, and even for gaming it holds up. I would not have replaced it if not for one issue. A few of the keys had become unresponsive, and some had entirely died. This is an issue not unique to this keyboard as I have had the same issue with another keyboard, and they were both fitted with Cherry MX Reds. That leads me to believe that it's more an issue with the mechanical switch, or a pcb/soldering issue. Moving past that, the keyboard is a great daily driver, and fits very well in an office environment, although I would get the silent MX Reds if I were to use this in a public space. In summary, great keyboard, very reliable.

1 year later, still no problems, perfect mechanical tenkeyless keyboard at a competitive price! Never had a single extra or missed keystroke. Key caps haven't eroded at all. The original parts are still in 100% perfect condition. I used this keyboard nearly every day for the past year with very heavy usage (12+ hours daily). It is a workhorse. So very grateful to have this keyboard after so much searching and reading horror reviews of other RGB gaming keyboards!! The keyboard is not silent, but there's no ping or click sound when typing. I used it for a year to verify that it does all the basics, and it does flawlessly. The keys do not light up on this keyboard, and that's fine as long as you don't sit in a dark room. I suggest using it with the kickstand feet fully down, even though it has two levels, as it's harder to type on it when the keyboard is in flat mode with no feet. It works great for coding as well as for gaming. Definitely recommend 10/10!

I got the cherry MX silent red keyboard and it's really quiet compared to my Logitech g pro keyboard. The letter keys sound the exact same as the keyboards on MechanicalKeyboards.com but the shift keys and enter keys are slightly louder and less dampened on this keyboard. I play osu! with this keyboard and it's so nice not being able to hear myself spamming keys. The only issue with this keyboard is how unnecessarily bright the caps and scroll lights are. I made a video so you can hear the sound of smashing the keyboard and just regular typing. Pros: - Really good price -Quality is pretty good -Cherry MX Silent Red is really silent, and keys feel smooth. Cons: -Shift, enter, space bar keys are slightly louder than other keys -caps lock and scroll lock lights are too bright. Overall, after a week of use, this keyboard is solid except for the caps lock and scroll lock lights.

I did not read the description carefully --- assumed that anything sold in 2024 would be wireless--- it is a hardwire USB keyboard. I have kept it, it does have a good feel for someone that learned to type on a true mechanical typewriter.

I'm not a gamer so my perspective is more about the typing experience. I picked up my first one of these keyboards during the work-from-home days as my previous non-mechanical keyboard was failing. I'm not super-fussy about keyboards, but I did know I wanted a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard that had sort of a medium-weight action and wasn't clicky. This keyboard in the Cherry MX Clear variety fit the bill to the tee. After I returned to the office I kept that keyboard at home, and picked up another for work. I like the reasonably heavy weight of the keyboard itself -- it stays put on my desk or keyboard arm, and feels like a nice solid basic build. The key weight is exactly what I was looking for, and while a bit louder than membrane keyboards isn't terribly distracting to others around me. I've had absolutely zero problems with either copy I bought, having used them as daily drivers for several years now. I'd absolutely recommend these keyboards as a very sensible, affordable, and well-built product.

This keyboard is great based on my limited experience with mechanical keyboards. I own a Filco Majestouch with Cherry MX browns, and a CM Storm with browns, and they are quite loud. Loud enough for people to comment in my open floor office or while on calls. I really love typing on both of those keyboards, but wanted something that is quiet enough to use in the office. You can find reviews on youtube that directly compare this keyboard to a pretty generic logitech office keyboard. This thing is very quiet compared to the browns, and is muffled compared to your generic office keyboards. As soon as I took it out of the box, I took a speed test and was up 10%. It's very comfortable to type on. Highly recommended for someone who wants a nice quality typing experience without all of the flash of some of the more gamer oriented keyboards on the market. Perfect for office use.
