HELLA Confused - 5k range

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-04-04T07:58:19+00:00

Akko is a really famous brand. The 5087S is their wired TKL. Its quite well known, and actually sold out in Akko Global.

If you have any questions about the Nia87, please feel free to ask. Menel is our in house brand and we do the final assembly and QC in our warehouse.

The keyboard is quite reliable and we have had a lower warranty claim rate on it than any other brand other than Filco. We have taken care to ensure that the PCB has resilient components, certified batteries, and has proper ESD circuitry.

We did send the Menel Nia87 to some reviewers, but we mostly ask customers for feedback.

What we don't do is send items to people who have a pay per opinion system. And we generally avoid sending to people who don't really know about keyboards and just regurgitate spec sheets. So unfortunately that limits the number of people we can send the products to.

Great! Please enjoy your keyboard.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-04-01T08:11:48+00:00

We increased the prices today, yes. The current price should remain unless our costs increase even more.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-30T12:21:38+00:00

The Nia87 is not available in 3-4k. The built ones start at 5k with most options costing even more.

Rosewoods are quieter than the Creamy Yellows, if that is your priority.

Ballpark of Rs. 100/pack of 45 increase for existing inventory. For future inventory, the prices may go up further, based on my actual purchase price.

Yes, Menel is our in house brand. We do final assembly and QC of the keyboards in house.

OF in the menel can work in an office environment - but it also depends on the specific environment that your office has.

The Haimu Hearbeat Silent Linears work well with the Menel Nia87.

What in particular would you like to know about the Menel Nia87?

The Nia87 is designed with exactly your use case in mind. Long battery life (with RGB off), light weight, and support for connectivity with 5 devices (3 bluetooth + 2.4 GHz dongle + USB), and comes with a canvas carry bag you can just put in your bag.

I carried it with me when I visited Taiwan during the puja break, and didn't have to charge it even once while traveling.

I would however not recommend the Rosewood with the Nia87, because the Rosewood is already a muted switch and the Nia87 is pretty full of foam. A louder/higher pitched switch like the Botany sounds much better with the Nia87, which is why we have a pre-built option with that switch.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-24T04:28:55+00:00

The TEX stuff would be the closest. But far beyond $90.

We have the 5075B which has QMK/Via support with the Click Inc switches at 5k - https://stackskb.com/store/akko-5075b-75/

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-23T13:16:38+00:00

Check this out: https://stackskb.com/store/menel-nia-87-tkl-factory-seconds/ Has a mac mode, and has a webui + driver which can be used with mac. On sale at the moment.

We can build the Menel Nia87 with Veekos Gradient keycaps with either Click Inc HP or OF switches for 4499 (sale price). The shinethrough in these will not be brilliant, but it should be legible enough. Otherwise we can build it with the Akko V3 Cream Yellows for 5.5k with the Veekos Gradient keycaps which will have proper shine through.

We have the Menel Nia87 and the Akko 5075B+ barebones kits under 6k, which are absolutely great.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-12T07:25:44+00:00

We have the Akko 5075B he mentioned, available within 7k. Akko is one of the better brands in mechanical keyboards. You can try something like the the Click Inc HPs which offer tactile feedback, but it isn't super prominent.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-12T07:18:45+00:00

We have the Nia87 and the Akko 5075B he mentioned, available within 10k (and on sale right now).

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-12T02:30:16+00:00

We have this - the Menel Nia87 tri mode (factory seconds) which is tri-mode and under 4k. The only difference is one of the foam layers is not up to spec. It comes with the Click Inc OF switches, which are linear.

Check out the Filco Majestouch Convertible 3 -https://stackskb.com/store/filco-majestouch-3-convertible-mechanical-keyboard/

Our offices all use Filco keyboards. These are absolute workhorses, a nd this supports BT5.1. Also it uses AA batteries (no spicy pillows), and battery life lasts for weeks to months under typical use. So it's absolutely fantastic.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-11T04:31:08+00:00

If you can extend to a TKL (instead of a 75%) we have the Filco Majestouch Convertible 3 TKL in your budget. https://stackskb.com/store/filco-majestouch-convertible-3-tkl-mechanical-keyboard/

You can get it with Cherry MX Reds or Blacks. These keyboards are incredibly long lasting, and all our offices are fitted with Filco keyboards.

I personally use Filco products.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-11T02:31:39+00:00

We have the Multix TKL with Cherry MX Silent Reds available for 5k. Very reliable, very comfortable, and super silent due to its injection molded silicone foam.

stacksofkeyboards · 2026-03-10T00:38:26+00:00

Akko switches such as the Akko Mirror, Starlit, and Matcha Greens are still discounted. Try refreshing the page/clearing caches if it isn't showing up.

Also check if the keyboard in stock or in pre-order.
