75% Layout with 88 Keys

The GE RK R87 Pro is a wired mechanical keyboard that uses a compact 75 percent form factor to save desk space while keeping the function row, arrow cluster and navigation keys. It is aimed at gamers and typists who want a smaller footprint without losing the keys they rely on daily.

Hot-Swappable Switches and QMK/VIA

The board ships with linear creamy switches mounted on a hot-swappable PCB that accepts both three-pin and five-pin replacements, so you can change the feel without soldering. Full QMK and VIA support lets you remap every key, write macros and design lighting layers through a web-based configurator.

Gasket Mount, MDA Keycaps and Metal Knob

A five-layer gasket structure dampens vibration for a quieter, more consistent typing sound, while the sculpted MDA profile keycaps follow the natural arc of the fingertips to reduce fatigue during long sessions. The CNC aluminium rotary knob is hot-swappable and programmable, defaulting to volume control and mute but freely assignable to any action. RGB backlighting offers 15 preset effects with per-key brightness and speed adjustment.

Questions about this item

Will the 88-key 75% layout still give me the function row and arrow keys I use on my current full-size board?

Yes, the 75% layout keeps the F-row, arrows and navigation cluster while dropping only the numeric pad, so muscle memory for those keys stays the same.

How can I confirm the south-facing RGB LEDs and QMK/VIA firmware are active after I plug it in?

The keyboard lights up immediately with the default RGB effects, and opening the VIA web app at usevia.app will detect the device and show the RK R87 Pro layout for real-time remapping.

Does the box include the hot-swappable linear creamy switches and MDA-profile keycaps, or do I need to buy them separately?

The board ships fully assembled with the linear creamy switches and MDA-profile keycaps already installed; the hot-swap sockets let you swap switches later without extra parts.
