2. Thanks - the M87 is on my short list.

I like the compact size of the tenkeyless boards such as the Velocifire M87 and the Keychron K2.

Did you get the O-rings? For only $10 extra, it seems like it might be worth it -- the sound in the video on their site seemed a tad loud (my house is small, and I have a spouse who might object). Of course, a desk pad would help with that issue as well.

From what I've read, the PBT keycaps might be worth considering as well, since they supposedly wear better than the ABS ones and don't develop "shiny" surfaces the way my old IBM keyboards did after a couple of years.

Thanks for weighing in!
