Rapid Trigger Magnetic Switches

The Captain87 uses Hall Effect magnetic switches that detect key movement electronically rather than relying on traditional metal-contact activation. Its Rapid Trigger system allows the key to reactivate as soon as it begins moving upward, which is particularly useful for fast repeated inputs in FPS and rhythm games.

Adjustable Actuation

The actuation point can be customized between 0.1mm and 4mm, allowing users to choose how sensitive each key feels. A shorter actuation distance can provide faster responses for gaming, while a deeper setting can help reduce accidental presses during normal typing.

87-Key 75% Layout

The Captain87 provides 87 keys in a compact layout, retaining the important function and navigation keys while saving desk space compared with a full-size keyboard. This makes it suitable for gaming setups, programming, and productivity.

CNC Aluminum Construction

The keyboard features a CNC-machined aluminum case, giving it a sturdy and premium feel. The gasket-mounted structure and internal sound-dampening layers are designed to provide a softer typing experience and reduce unwanted keyboard resonance.

Gasket Mount Design

The gasket-mounted structure cushions the typing plate and helps reduce vibration. Combined with multiple sound-absorbing layers, it provides a smoother and more comfortable typing experience.

PBT Keycaps & RGB Backlighting

The Captain87 uses side-printed PBT keycaps, designed for durability and resistance to keycap wear. It also features customizable RGB backlighting for an attractive gaming setup.

Programmable Software

The Captain87 can be customized through compatible software, including key remapping, macros, RGB lighting settings, and magnetic-switch/Rapid Trigger adjustments. The available driver is primarily intended for Windows.
