Peripherals Part 2: The RK987a dual-mode mechanical keyboard that picks up garbage, and found that the Goss 87d is really an RK OEM?

Recently, I picked up garbage and bought dual-mode mechanical keyboards with Gauss 108 keys, akko71 keys, and rk61 keys on Xianyu, all of which are cherry tea or cherry red. Because I feel that the 87 key is missing, in the spirit of picking up garbage, I found a dual-mode rk987a on Xianyu. It is in excellent condition and the label is intact. It should not have been disassembled. The seller originally sold it as a package with another cord-cutting keyboard, not including the good or the bad, at 45 yuan for one, and 90 for two with free shipping. Later, I tried to communicate whether it is possible to buy rk987a for 40 yuan with free shipping. I did not expect the seller to readily agree. , with the mentality of taking a gamble, immediately place an order to buy.

In good condition, bought for 40 yuan

After the goods arrive, the keyboard is intact as a whole, and the keycaps are complete and undamaged. After a simple wipe, at least 95% of them will be new. The keycaps should be Wang Ziru pbt keycaps. They are the same as the new ones. I feel that the usage rate of the keyboard is not high. If you look at the online keycaps, you can sell more than 40 for a set of keycaps. Because there are other keycaps, this one will be removed and used. The rk61 dual-mode cherry tea switch keyboard purchased by picking up garbage for 28 yuan.

After removing the keycaps, I saw that the key switch is rk's own red switch, patch light source, and white light. Unfortunately, it is not a cherry switch. This is a pity.

RK's red switch feels okay, after all, I'm still a beginner in this area, and I haven't experienced the feeling of various switches. Replaced with the newly bought 35 yuan Coral Sea keycap, it feels good in the hand.

The keyboard as a whole has been tested, and all functions are intact, the Bluetooth is connected smoothly, all the keys are triggered, the lighting effects are very rich, and I feel happy.

On further exploration, a small situation was discovered. I bought a Gauss dual-mode 87d because I was picking up garbage before, but it was overturned, and the keys were connected in a large range.

After it was sold at a low price, I left the feet as spares. I bought rk987a this time, and found that it was exactly the same as the shell mold of Goss 87d, especially when I saw the words rk printed on the feet.

I don’t know if Goss 87d is an rk OEM, since the molds are the same, the difference in price seems to be the connotation
