Gaming Mechanical Keyboard Dark Project ALU87B Celestial RGB

Dark Project ALU87B Celestial RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard – Full CNC Aluminum Chassis, TKL Format, Hot-Swap Technology, Gasket-Mounted Structure, and Factory-Lubricated Components

Immerse yourself in cosmic aesthetics and unprecedented gaming performance with the Dark Project ALU87B Celestial RGB. Inspired by the vastness and beauty of celestial bodies, this top-tier enthusiast mechanical keyboard combines stunning visual design with brutal engineering power. With its solid aluminum body, revolutionary Gasket-mount architecture, and Hot-Swap PCB for quick switch replacement, the Celestial model turns every keypress into a true acoustic and tactile pleasure.

Massive, Full Aerospace-Grade Aluminum Chassis

The main highlight in the design of the ALU87B Celestial series is its exceptional casing, CNC-milled from a single solid block of aerospace aluminum. The special coating provides the keyboard with significant weight and brutal structural stability – it stands firmly on your desk even during the most aggressive gaming sessions and fast typing. The all-aluminum architecture completely eliminates the twisting, creaking, and hollow plastic sounds characteristic of mass-market peripherals.

Key Features and Engineering Advantages

1. Elite Gasket-Mounted Structure for Perfect Acoustics

The Dark Project ALU87B Celestial is constructed like the best custom keyboards in the world. The Gasket-mount system completely isolates the internal PCB from the aluminum casing using soft silicone gaskets and multi-layer sound-absorbing pads (PORON foam and silicone dampeners). This architecture softens typing pressure and absorbs structural vibrations, creating the class-iconic clean, deep, and full "Thocky" click sound.

2. Full Hot-Swap Functionality (3-pin and 5-pin)

No need to be limited to just one switch model for the entire lifespan of the keyboard. Hot-Swap technology allows you to replace mechanical switches in seconds, without using a soldering iron or possessing special technical skills. The PCB supports both 3-pin and 5-pin switches (Cherry, Gateron, Kailh, Outemu, etc.), giving you complete freedom to experiment and modify the feel of the keys at any time.

3. Factory-Lubricated Switches and Stabilizers for Silky-Smooth Travel

Every switch and stabilizer for the long keys (Space, Enter, Shift) undergoes a precise factory lubrication process with high-quality lubricants (Krytox style). This eliminates friction, the "springy" effect, and the annoying plastic rattling of large buttons. The result is an incredibly smooth, "silky" keypress right out of the box.

4. Optimized Tenkeyless (TKL / 80%) Format

By removing the numeric keypad (Numpad), the ALU87B Celestial optimizes your gaming space. The compact size supports a natural and ergonomic hand posture and provides a huge working radius for wide, aggressive mouse movements at low DPI – a vital factor in intense FPS shooters and Esports titles like Counter-Strike 2 and Valorant.

High-Quality PBT Keycaps and Celestial RGB Backlighting

• Durable PBT Keycaps: The keycaps are made of dense, thick-walled PBT material using double-shot injection technology. They have a pleasant matte texture for excellent grip, do not wear out over time, and are completely immune to oily or shiny effects, maintaining their premium look for years.

• Breathtaking RGB System: The name Celestial reflects the stunning brightness and color transitions, reminiscent of a cosmic nebula. Individual backlighting for each key supports millions of colors and dozens of dynamic effects, which are easily controlled and programmed using Dark Project's specialized software.
