DK1087 is the tenkeyless counterpart of the Ducky DK1008 in Ducky's 1000-series range of budget keyboards.

Description

It has a detachable USB cord, and has standoffs. The lock keys have integrated LEDs.

Variants

Cherry MX

Available with Cherry MX Brown, Cherry MX Black and Cherry MX Blue switches. ANSI layout with US English and Chinese legends.

Xiang Min KSB

Available with black KSB-N (linear) and green KSB-C (clicky) switches, in ANSI layout with English legends. These variants are popularly referred to as "DK1087XM" (or 1087 XM, DK-1087 XM etc) to differentiate them from the Cherry variants.

For the LED keys, white KSB-LE switches are used. Normally a short light guide is placed into the slot in the switch, but these have been omitted in Ducky boards, leaving a hole in the switch with the LED visible at the bottom.[1]

The KSB switch version retails for less money than the Cherry MX version.
