Hot-Swappable Switch Design for Ultimate Customization
The Durgod Cavalry 87 features a full-keys hot-swap PCB that revolutionizes the way you customize your keyboard. Unlike traditional mechanical keyboards that require soldering to change switches, this hot-swappable design allows you to simply pull out and replace switches in seconds using the included mechanical switch puller. Whether you prefer the tactile bump of Kailh Turbo Brown switches, the smooth linear action of Turbo Red, or the ultra-fast actuation of Turbo Silver switches, you can experiment and find your perfect typing experience. This feature is ideal for enthusiasts who want to try different switch types or replace worn switches without purchasing an entirely new keyboard. Note that satellite axes are not supported for hot-swap functionality, ensuring stability for larger keys.
Vibrant RGB Backlighting with Multiple Modes
Illuminate your workspace or gaming station with stunning RGB backlighting that brings the Cavalry 87 to life. The keyboard offers a variety of lighting modes, from static colors to dynamic effects like breathing, wave, and reactive lighting that responds to your keystrokes. You can easily cycle through different modes using dedicated hotkeys, allowing you to match the lighting to your mood, game, or aesthetic preferences. The bright, customizable RGB LEDs shine beautifully through the double-shot PBT keycaps, creating an immersive visual experience. Whether you’re working late into the night or showcasing your setup, the RGB backlighting adds both functionality and flair to your desktop.
Durable Double-Shot PBT Keycaps for Long-Lasting Performance
Quality keycaps make all the difference in typing comfort and keyboard longevity, and the Cavalry 87 doesn’t disappoint. Featuring double-shot PBT keycaps, this keyboard is built to withstand years of heavy use without showing signs of wear. Unlike cheaper ABS keycaps that develop a shiny, greasy appearance over time, PBT material maintains its textured, matte finish even after millions of keystrokes. The double-shot manufacturing process ensures that legends (the letters and symbols) are molded into the keycap rather than printed on the surface, meaning they’ll never fade or wear off. The result is a keyboard that looks and feels premium from day one and continues to deliver that experience for years to come.
High-Performance Wired Connection with 1000Hz Polling Rate
Gamers and professionals demand responsiveness, and the Cavalry 87 delivers with a USB-C wired connection boasting a 1000Hz polling rate. This means the keyboard communicates with your computer 1000 times per second, ensuring that every keystroke is registered with minimal latency—critical for competitive gaming where milliseconds matter. The USB-C connector is not only modern and reversible for easy plugging, but also more durable than older USB standards. Combined with N-key rollover support, which allows all keys to be pressed simultaneously without conflicts or ghosting, the Cavalry 87 ensures that complex key combinations and rapid inputs are accurately captured, whether you’re executing a perfect combo in a fighting game or typing at blazing speeds.
Easy Maintenance with Removable Top Cover
Keeping your keyboard clean is essential for maintaining optimal performance and hygiene, and the Cavalry 87 makes this task remarkably simple. The removable top cover is specifically designed to provide easy access to the keyboard’s interior, allowing you to quickly remove dust, crumbs, and debris that accumulate in key crevices over time. This thoughtful design feature means you can thoroughly clean your keyboard without disassembling the entire unit or using complicated tools. Regular cleaning not only keeps your keyboard looking pristine but also prevents particle buildup that can interfere with switch performance. For users who eat at their desks or work in dusty environments, this feature is a game-changer that extends the keyboard’s lifespan and maintains a professional appearance.
Universal Compatibility and Software Customization
The Durgod Cavalry 87 is designed to work seamlessly across multiple platforms, including macOS, Windows, Linux, Android, and iOS, making it a versatile choice for users with diverse device ecosystems. Whether you’re switching between a Windows desktop and a MacBook or connecting to a tablet, this keyboard adapts to your needs. The dedicated DURGOD Software takes customization even further, allowing you to remap keys (except the FN key), create macros for repetitive tasks, and save multiple configuration profiles for different applications or games. This software-based customization means you can optimize your keyboard layout for productivity during work hours and switch to a gaming profile with custom macros when it’s time to play, all without needing to purchase separate keyboards.
