mac87
Hey guys!
First post! Not affiliated with Velocifire at all so I think I correctly selected not associated with them. I reviewed their keyboard on YouTube and they provided me a 20% discount to put on YouTube, but I decided to share it on OzBargain as an Aussie YouTuber.

For anyone interested in the keyboard here is what I think:
There are loads of different options so do not be fooled and be sure to check other keyboards and not just my review. In terms of a Mac specific layout, it might fit your gaming setup if you do use a Mac!
The M87 is focused on gamers and those who want a fancier keyboard than what the typical Apple provides. If this is your first mechanical keyboard, I would definitely say buy and try! If you are an enthusiast look elsewhere. It has its flaws but does provide a decent typing experience on the budget.
POSITIVES -
+ Metal Plate
+ Ten-Key-less
+ Apple/Mac OS Layout (Works on windows but flipped windows key)
+ Easy to clean and replace keycaps
+ Improved stabilizer mechanism
MIDGROUND -
-+ No RGB (Not everyone likes it on cheaper keyboards)
NEGATIVES -
- Low Quality Checking (By the time of submitting this video, Velocifire confirmed they would double check what occurred and improve the issues mentioned in the video)
- No detachable cable :(
- No lube on the stabilizers (but even some known and expensive keyboard manufacturers don't lube their stabs - Hyper X, Corsair, etc)
- Only available with cheap tactile brown switches. (They told me they will be making a change to better switches in the future after watching my video.)
