Womier DUO87 combines mechanical keyboard, smart display and desk control

Womier used a June 26 push to sell the DUO87 as a 3-in-1 answer to cluttered desks, a TKL mechanical keyboard with a detachable TFT smart display rather than just another typing slab. The company aimed it at streamers, video editors, office workers and keyboard enthusiasts who want fewer separate gadgets crowding the workspace, and the crowdfunding numbers suggested real appetite: the Kickstarter ran from May 12, 2026 to June 11, 2026 and pulled in about $507,355 against a $50,000 goal.

The board itself is built like a dense desktop fixture. Womier lists the DUO87 as an 88-key TKL with an ABS case, Cherry-profile double-shot keycaps, Womier POM switches, south-facing RGB, a gasket-mounted structure and a 1.2 mm FR4 PCB with flex cuts. It supports hot-swap for 3-pin and 5-pin switches, connects by wired USB-C only and has no battery at all. At 1,102 grams and 368.2 x 144 x 44.3 mm, it is aimed squarely at a fixed desk setup, not a travel board.

The software split is where the DUO87 becomes more interesting for people who already build around layers, knobs, OLEDs and external screens. Womier says the keyboard side works with VIA, while the screen uses separate PC software. The company also says its in-house drivers currently support Windows only, even though the product page says the DUO87 is compatible with Windows and Mac. That makes the display feel less like decoration and more like a control surface, especially when the rest of the board already has the kind of enthusiast staples, hot-swap sockets, gasket mounting and remapping support, that builders look for first.

Notebookcheck framed the detachable touchscreen as a way to add plugins and extra functionality, while Tech4Gamers said the DUO87 leans more toward desk presence and customization than pure enthusiast refinement. That split captures the board’s pitch neatly. It is trying to serve the people who use a keyboard as part input device, part command center and part visual centerpiece, not just the people chasing the cleanest typing feel.

The campaign’s traction backed up that pitch. Trackers showed roughly 538 backers during the run, and Kickstarter’s FAQ page later listed 546 backers. A Womier product page put the pre-order price at $132, down from $158, and listed an expected ship date of June 25. Womier’s brand page places the company in Irvine, California, which gives the project a U.S. base as it pushes into a crowded keyboard market.

The DUO87 ends up looking less like a novelty screen attached to a keyboard than a test of whether a single wired board can replace the stack of little desk tools around it. That is the real measure here, and Womier set it on June 26.
