    I'm so glad that somebody else identified the problem with the stabilizers catching and making it feel inadvertently tactile. I was starting to think that I was the only person out there having that problem.

      Definitely not just you! I'm surprised there weren't more reports of it being an issue tbh, unless I somehow just didn't catch them?

    I have the aluminum and entry of the nk87 with mt3 and mtnu caps. They are phenomenal

      MTNU is such a nice profile, I really want to get Susu and Beige added to my collection at some point.

    This just dropped to $150 on NK. Solid price for a hotswap with nolives

      LMAO and I just tweeted about it a little bit ago. Even considering the issues I encountered, I'd absolutely pay that for this board.

      I am considering it, but are the nolive switches preinstalled? and are they lubed?

    Great review.
    Wonder how this would color match with gmk Boba fett .
    Tiger lite looks enticing. 👌

      If you've ever used a KBD67 Lite, the Tiger is considered to be the spiritual successor to that board and improves on everything that was good already. Boba Fett would look SO sick in this board, I think!

    What do you think would be better , a gmmk pro or the nk87 olive set while it’s on clearance, since me and my friend are trying to build a keybaord better than the other

      Given my experience with the NK87 Olive, I'd say it's all about whether or not you're comfy dealing with excessively tight switch fitment in the plate for the Olive editionas you will want to lube the stock switches (they'reoutstanding once thats done).
      Both have mid stabilizers stock, so that's a wash. GMMK PRO has a more shallow typing angle, is slightly more compact, and carries a knob. NK87 Olive has a steeper typing angle and is slightly larger, but has more keys. Both offer third-party aftermarket accessories and parts as well.
      Both also have a relatively stiff typing feel, with GMMK PRO potentially being softer when used with the PC plate. Either one would make a fine board, and I don't personally feel like either is inherently better unless you wanted the Nolives in the NK87 Olive edition with the board, anyway, making it potentially a better deal.
      Also remember, it's all about preference! There's some sick-ass boards out there that I absolutely hate typing on, but others love and swear by!

      Oh no, that's not good! Definitely let NovelKeys know what you found, and be sure to have good quality photos of the stripped fasteners. That said, I'm not sure what the thread pitch and count are to tell you 😕

      I really want to get one in for some content! It gets good feedback from basically everyone who builds with them, and I could really use another decent TKL in my life that's, ya know, actually mine KEKW
