Gaming mechanical keyboard Dark Project ALU87 Daylight RGB

Dark Project ALU87 Daylight RGB Gaming Mechanical Keyboard – All-aluminum CNC chassis, TKL format, Hot-Swap technology, Gasket-Mounted structure, and factory-lubricated components

Discover the perfect balance between enthusiast-grade engineering and uncompromising gaming performance. The Dark Project ALU87 Daylight RGB is a top-tier mechanical keyboard, inspired by the "Daylight" concept with its stunning aesthetics and bright, rich backlighting. Designed in the classic and extremely popular Tenkeyless (TKL) format, this keyboard combines a solid aluminum chassis, revolutionary Gasket-mount architecture, and a Hot-Swap PCB for quick switch replacement, transforming every gaming session or typing task into a luxurious experience.

Solid, all-aluminum aerospace-grade chassis

The main advantage of the ALU87 series is its chassis, CNC machined from a single solid block of aerospace aluminum. The special matte finish is wear and stain resistant, and the substantial weight of the metal construction ensures that the keyboard won't budge an inch even in the most intense gaming moments. The all-aluminum construction completely eliminates twisting, creaking, and hollow plastic resonances.

Key features and engineering advantages

1. Elite Gasket-Mounted structure for perfect acoustics

The Dark Project ALU87 Daylight is built in the likeness of the world's best custom keyboards. The Gasket-mount system used isolates the internal PCB from the aluminum chassis with soft gaskets and multi-layered sound-absorbing pads (PORON foam and silicone dampeners). This architecture softens typing pressure and absorbs structural vibrations, creating a clean, deep, and rich clicking sound (the so-called "Thocky" sound).

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

No need to limit yourself to just one type of switch. Hot-Swap technology allows you to change mechanical switches in seconds, without touching a soldering iron or needing 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 keyboard at any time.

3. Factory-lubricated switches and stabilizers for silky-smooth travel

Every switch and stabilizer on the long keys (Space, Enter, Shift) undergoes a precise factory lubrication process with high-quality lubricants. This eliminates friction, the "springy" effect, and the unpleasant rattling of the large buttons. The result is incredibly smooth key travel right out of the box.

4. Optimized Tenkeyless (TKL / 80%) format

By removing the numeric keypad (Numpad), the ALU87 Daylight optimizes your gaming space. The compact size maintains a natural and ergonomic hand posture and provides a huge radius for wide, aggressive mouse movements at low DPI – a vital factor in tactical FPS shooters.

High-grade PBT keycaps and Daylight 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, do not wear out over time, and are completely immune to developing an oily or glossy effect.

• Daylight RGB system: The name Daylight reflects the exceptional brightness and clarity of the backlighting. Individual RGB lighting for each key supports millions of colors and dynamic effects, which are controlled down to the smallest detail via specialized software.

Technical specifications

Who is the Dark Project ALU87 Daylight RGB keyboard suitable for?

• Gamers and Esports players: An ideal choice for titles like Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, and Apex Legends, where fast switch reaction, structural chassis stability, and maximum mouse space are required.

• Keyboard enthusiasts: Anyone looking for the feel, weight, and premium sound of expensive "custom" keyboards with an aluminum chassis, without the need to assemble and lubricate parts manually.

• People working in shared spaces: Thanks to the advanced Gasket-mount structure and lubricated elements, the keyboard operates extremely quietly, softly, and densely, without disturbing others.
