Dark Project ALU87 BUSHIDO (ANSI)

Many of our fans have been requesting a premium version of the 87 Fuji, known for its black and white aesthetic and Japanese-inspired motif. In response, we created the ALU87 BUSHIDO as a tribute to their support.

But it doesn't end there... In addition to its appearance, this keyboard comes with a number of features that the competition in its price category cannot match.

It comes in a full aluminum body that adds weight to your desk, making it difficult to tear your hands away during intense gaming sessions. Our long-awaited pre-lubricated G3MS Moonstone mechanical switches provide an ultra-smooth and accurate gaming experience (and are interchangeable with any other mechanical switch on the market). Plus, the keyboard comes with web-based software that lets you customize everything about your keyboard, on Windows, macOS, and yes... even Linux.

G3MS Moonstone Switches

Created by experienced engineers at Blackrock Foundry, G3MS switches reflect years of experience and continually push the boundaries of what switches can achieve...

The G3MS Moonstone switches are the next step in the evolution of the G3MS Sapphire switches that accompanied our last line. After two years of careful analysis of your feedback, we worked with Blackrock Foundry to design the switches you requested.

Fully transparent case? Done.
Longer spring? You got it.
Faster return on investment? Absolutely.

We listened to every review, addressed every request, and together we designed a switch that surpasses what the G3MS Sapphire could ever be.

Actuation force - 50 g
Trigger point - 2 mm
Durability - 80 million keystrokes

Hot swappable

Hot-Swap technology allows the user to replace switches (with ANY other 3-pin & 5-pin mechanical switches available on the market) without disassembling the keyboard. No more need for a desoldering iron. Easily replaceable switches increase its maintainability and allow the user to fully customize the keyboard.

ABS key fobs and Double-Shot technology

The keycaps are made of ABS, the most popular material for mechanical keyboards. In addition, they are made using Double-Shot molding technology. Each key - with the exception of the Space, Enter and Esc keys - is made of ABS plastic. This process involves fusing two plastic molds at high temperatures. Thanks to this method, the RGB backlighting is illuminated through the keycaps clearly and brightly, while ensuring that the sharp letters never fade even after ten years of intensive use.

Easy backlight control - Software and keyboard shortcuts

This keyboard features full RGB backlighting with a wide range of customizable effects. In addition, the user can choose from a range of 16.7 million colors to create the perfect atmosphere. Our cloud-based software allows you to customize your keyboard on the go. On any computer, on any operating system.

Seal Holder & Double Layer Noise Insulation:

The keyboard case consists of three main parts: the top and bottom covers (cases), the main support structure (chassis board), and the printed circuit board (PCB). There are two layers of Poron foam placed between the PCB and the chassis board, and also between the chassis board and the bottom cover of the case. The case also contains two layers of silicone, giving you the option to replace the Poron foam with silicone if you wish to change the acoustics of your keyboard!

Factory Lubed Stabilizers

The stabilizers are lubricated during the keyboard assembly process on the conveyor system. The consistency of lubrication is unmatched because they are lubricated by machines instead of humans. The lubricated stabilizers provide a smooth, comfortable feel when pressed. This process keeps them nice to the touch and produce a pleasant sound long after they leave the factory.
