GTSP M87 Kit Keyboard Review

Unknown positions the GTSP M87 Kit Keyboard as a affordable budget mechanical keyboards, asking $36.99. After 102 customer reviews on Amazon, the verdict is a solid 3.8 stars. We've ranked it #47 out of 54 in this category. It's not a top pick - there are higher-rated and better-value options in the category - but specific shoppers may still find it fits their needs.

The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. The price range here typically gets you a sturdier frame and PBT keycaps that resist shine over time, which is a meaningful upgrade over budget tier.

Worth noting on the GTSP M87 Kit Keyboard specifically - reviews repeatedly flag "DIY customization" as a standout.
