Sit-stand desks have grown hugely in popularity in recent years as people have become all too aware of the harmful effects of sitting down all day.

Gearbest recently sent me the MotoSpeed K87S mechanical keyboard to review. This is a tenkeyless RGB keyboard with edge to edge keys making for a very petite keyboard. For lack of a better word, the design is quite girly, which is not a bad thing, it is quite obvious what you are getting from the…
