6. ✨ Overall Review and Closing
- ✅ The AK87 SLIM PRO is a low-profile slim keyboard with two attractive switches in a solid housing with a good foundation.
- ✅ There are not many slim keyboards with good-feeling mechanical switches.
- ✅ There are fewer tenkeyless layouts than expected (many are 75% layouts).
- ✅ I hope that 100% full layouts will be released more often.
