The TH87 is a good gift for someone who enjoys customising their setup or wants a keyboard that works for both gaming and everyday typing. Check the exact switch type, layout, connectivity and compatibility options on the product page before ordering.

This is a particularly good gift for a PC gamer, remote worker or tech enthusiast who wants to reduce desk clutter and charge several devices from one unit.
