Epomaker P87 Aluminum TKL Gaming Keyboard 87 Keys Knob

TKL Aluminum Keyboard with Knob

The Epomaker P87 is a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard built around a CNC-cut aluminium case that weighs over 1.8 kg. It carries 87 keys plus a single metal rotary knob, all programmable through QMK and VIA software. The gasket-mounted structure, PC plate, factory-lubed linear switches and five layers of sound-dampening material create a deep, creamy typing sound. Tri-mode connectivity covers USB-C, 2.4 GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.0 for use with PC, Mac, PS4 or PS5.

Compatibility and Power Check

Verify that your system can recognise a standard HID keyboard over USB, 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth 5.0 without proprietary drivers. The 4000 mAh battery charges via the supplied USB cable and is designed for overnight charging. Ensure you have a free USB port for the 2.4 GHz receiver or for wired operation, and confirm that your operating system supports VIA or QMK keymapping if you plan to remap keys or the knob function.

Upgrade Context

This board replaces a typical plastic-cased TKL keyboard that lacks a metal knob, gasket mounting or multi-layer acoustic damping. The jump is worthwhile when you want a heavier, more rigid aluminium chassis for reduced flex, a richer sound signature from the lubricated switches and dampening stack, and the flexibility of tri-mode wireless with open-source firmware support. Buyers who need a dedicated number pad or a lighter travel keyboard will not find those features here.
