Just received VA87M, black switches. Used Filco Ninja Majestouch-2 with brown switches before this one. Some things that stand out:
*Great build quality, on par with Filco
*Default key caps feel better than Filco, they have this 'sandy' feel as opposed to a smooth feel of Filco's, I prefer these ones.
*Black switches. Was worried these would tire my fingers out. I was wrong. As a 'heavy hitting' typist I'm finding these to be perfect so far compared to brown, red & blue switches I tried before.
*It does look great and is true to the images, minus some lighting.
*I don't like back lighting so this is off at the moment, but it has a very nice blue color lighting.
For anyone buying this and not sure what can be configured there is a guide here https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-RwMkdam3IkQ2xqVGNYX3FHZmM/view (as the manual doesn't have this)
Overall recommend a lot, solid keyboard. Typing & sound feedback of this keyboard are VERY nice.
