Is shrinkflation amusing yet? Less 2187 for more...something
Since I recreated The1987, it followed suit that i should include this one as well. Its the more modern design with a small sprinkle of cyberpunk. The name, again, was originally a play on the TKL (87 keys) and some future time ...assuming some industrious designer in the future looked back and wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the original(s). Shamelessly playing on the popularity of a thing while is strictly the name of the game!
The instructions and parts lists for The1987Lite all apply to this case (except the screws and knurled inserts); including the wiring and firmware (no Proton-C though, i was finally out of them)
I like to chat, so comments!
