I am going to start with the cons because there aren't many of them :)
Cons:
- Only has the color white
- No number pad
- Caps lock light is on the other side of the keyboard
- Fingerprints
Pros:
- Ergonomic, sloping key style
- Customizations for the backlighting which makes up for the one color option
- Extendable feet for extra typing comfort
- VERY durable
- Easy to clean
- Long, braided USB cable
- Metal design
Conclusion:
Since I have been using this keyboard vigorously for the past 9 months, I am happy to say that it is very durable and useful. I haven't had any major problems and I have gotten away with cleaning all the keys once. Even though the keyboard only has the color white, I think white was a nice, sleek option and the ability to change the patterns of the lights really makes up for it. Gaming on it has been quite nice since it has brown switches which are my favorite by far. They have a nice clicky feel while still being quieter than blue switches. I will definitely be using this mechanical keyboard in the future. Thanks!
The M87 is quite a bit lighter than the TKL01 and TKL02, but the rubber pads and rubber covers on the fold-down feet do a good job of keeping the keyboard in place. It does not slide around when typing, but it is easier to push around than the other two keyboards. I don't see that as an issue. The M87 also has a relatively low profile and a smaller footprint than the other two. They keycaps on the TKL01 and TKL02 are partially recessed into their cases. The keycaps on the M87 are not recessed. I thought that might result in more noise when typing, but it does not. The keyboard is surprisingly quiet to use. The top of the keyboard feels like metal, while its bottom is plastic. Perhaps the metal helps dampen the sound. The brown key switches seem to be just right for me. Typing on the keyboard is a pleasant experience. Like most keyboards, the backspace, shift, caps lock and tab keys make a different sound than the character keys. For some reason, on the M87, the backspace key seems louder, as if it bottoms out too easily. It's slightly annoying, but not a deal-breaker for me.
I was disappointed in the backlighting on the keyboard. It's white (rather than teal like the TKL01 and TLK02), which is fine. But it only clearly illuminates the top half of the keycaps where the primary characters reside. On the Function keys where the media control and other Mac-specific symbols are etched in the bottom half of the keys, the illumination is not visible on those symbols in a lighted room. The symbols appear as barely visible gray and are small and hard for my aging eyes to see. If the room is dark, then you can see the symbols illuminated. The same is true on the "modifier keys". I've attached pictures of the keyboard in a lighted room and a dark room. The symbols appear better in the picture than they do in real life.
The caps lock indicator light is on the right side of the keyboard, but it is tiny. If I'm sitting upright, I can see it clearly, but if I'm leaning back in my chair, it's barely visible.
I thought the TKL01 and TKL02 keyboards were bargains. They are both priced at $29.99. The M87 is twice as expensive at $59.99, and does not seem like a bargain to me. It's price was high enough to cause me to consider buying another brand's more expensive keyboard with Cherry MX brown keys. If those Cherry keys had not been out of stock, I likely would have gone with the higher priced brand.
I do like the M87 and once I get familiar with the locations of keys, the poor backlighting of symbols won't be an issue. And it's good to have the Mac functionality built into the keyboard.

Wegen des fehlenden Zehnerblocks (TKL) nimmt sie nicht soviel Platz auf dem Schreibtisch ein und man hat rechts/links bequem Platz fuer die Maus.
Noch sehr positiv: die Tasten sitzen auf dem Gehäuse, d.h. es gibt nicht die typische Schmutzfalle.
