Mechanical keyboard TRACER Strike 87 RGB backlit compact 87-key Tenkeyless

The TRACER Strike 87 RGB backlit compact 87-key Tenkeyless mechanical keyboard combines a reduced footprint with tactile mechanical switches and full RGB illumination. Designed for desktop PC setups where desk space is limited, this Tenkeyless layout retains essential alphanumeric keys and dedicated function layers for gaming and productivity. The keyboard provides a mechanical typing feel, responsive actuation, and customizable lighting effects to match system aesthetics or workflow preferences.

Advantages

The compact Tenkeyless form factor saves space without removing core typing and gaming keys, making it suitable for smaller desks and multi-monitor arrangements. Mechanical switches deliver clearer tactile feedback and consistent actuation compared with membrane alternatives, enhancing typing accuracy and gaming response. Integrated RGB backlighting offers adjustable brightness and multiple effects to improve visibility in low-light environments and to create a coherent look with other RGB components.

• PC gaming where compact layout and quick key response are required
• Office and home productivity on limited desk space
• Users who prefer tactile mechanical key feedback
• Setups that use external numpads or frequently change desk arrangement

How to use

Connect the keyboard to a desktop PC using the wired USB cable. Use the keyboard’s function layer or included software (if provided by the manufacturer) to customize RGB lighting, adjust brightness, and select lighting effects. For gaming, enable anti-ghosting or N-key rollover modes if available to ensure simultaneous key presses register correctly. Position the keyboard on a flat surface or ergonomic wrist rest to maintain a comfortable typing angle during extended use.

Usage recommendations

Keep the keyboard away from moisture and direct heat sources. Clean keycaps periodically using a soft brush or compressed air; remove keycaps only with appropriate tools to avoid damaging switches. If you use detachable accessories such as external numpads or wrist rests, arrange them to maintain an ergonomic posture and minimize cable tension on the USB connection.
