Introducing the Etar87

A full-size 100% mechanical keyboard designed for enthusiasts who demand both beauty and performance. Influenced by Arabic architecture and calligraphic art, its name “Etar” (إطار) literally means “border,” reflecting the elegant lines and engraved motifs that frame every detail.

Architectural Design & Craftsmanship

The Etar87 draws inspiration from Arabic architecture and calligraphic art, with its very name — “Etar,” meaning border — reflecting the intricate engravings and flowing motifs etched into its frame. Every curve and line is intentional, giving the keyboard a timeless aesthetic. This isn’t just a peripheral; it’s a desk centerpiece designed to elevate any workspace.

Premium Mounting & Build Quality

Engineered for enthusiasts, the Etar87 offers both top and bottom mounting options, allowing users to fine-tune the typing feel to their preference. Dual brass through-weights provide stability and satisfying heft, while precision machining ensures a flawless fit between components. The result is a keyboard that feels as solid as it looks.

Integrated Full Numpad

Unlike most custom mechanical keyboards that stop at tenkeyless layouts, the Etar87 proudly includes a dedicated numpad, making it one of the few enthusiast boards to offer full-size functionality. This addition is invaluable for power users, accountants, engineers, and gamers who rely on rapid numerical input. With flexible layout support — including 2U or dual 1U configurations on the “0” key — the numpad is as customizable as the rest of the board. By blending the rarity of a numpad with the refinement of custom design, the Etar87 delivers both productivity and prestige.
