A collection of good things on the desktop Part 6: Refuse to be greasy, refreshing for a summer! Lofree keycap experience report

In 2022, tabletops have gradually developed from a niche hobby to a popular trend, and the soul of tabletops is a keyboard that looks good and is handy. In view of the fact that the author was shy when he first went to college, a keyboard with ABS keycaps has been used now. This time span is true and considered to be a consummation of merit. After long-term wear and tear, the shiny and greasy feeling on the surface of the ABS keycaps hits the face. Come on, even the letter logos of several buttons have been "grinded", which not only affects my work efficiency, but also becomes the biggest slot in my desk layout. It's time to let it retire.

No, after choosing a circle based on my own needs, I finally chose Lofree Luofei, a trendy keyboard brand that is famous for its appearance, and started its OEM height called "Carrier Panda". Keycaps, a complete set of 131-key super complete PBT keycaps, no matter you are 68, 84, 87, 98, 104, in short, any type of keycaps of common size keyboards can be perfectly matched, and you can buy them together After upgrading the kit and shaft body, a more ideal table environment was finally constructed.

I don’t want anyone not to know that the designer team of this shipboard panda keycap is Rongzao Wenchuang. Talking about it, this is a military trendy brand for the military and consumer markets. It has designed ship badges and logos for my country's first aircraft carrier Shandong, the first amphibious assault ship Hainan, and other heavyweight equipment, and authorized the design and production of related cultural derivatives, which have been widely recognized by the military and the market. Therefore, this keycap itself With all sincerity, there should be no man who can refuse this kind of warship-themed keycap, right? After all, this is the romance of exclusive men!

unpacking part

Out of the box, you can see that the keycaps are stored in a 2-layer transparent plastic box. Each keycap has a fixed position and is well organized. When changing the keycaps for your keyboard, players can place the old keycaps in the corresponding The storage space is convenient for subsequent search and replacement. It can be said to be very considerate for players who do not often DIY and only enjoy themselves occasionally.

Replacing the keycap part

Replacing the keycaps is a kind of enjoyment for me, and the operation is also very simple. Use the key puller provided by Lofree to remove the keycaps on the old keyboard one by one, and then replace them all with new keycaps. A new keycap is just a new skin. Doesn’t it mean a new keyboard? The novelty came right away.

外观设计&工艺部分

Lofree uses the ship and aircraft carrier elements under different color themes to give players a hardcore "aircraft carrier style". Different areas of the keycap display "ready to take off, take off, fly, allow uplink, nuclear, block" The most profound classic scene of the aircraft carrier is also incorporated into the characteristic elements such as "Panda, panda head". The panda and the aircraft carrier are both representatives of Chinese characteristics. The former is a national treasure and the latter is ours. The combination of a big country and a heavy weapon contains a strong cultural self-confidence.

Lofree OEM height keycap adopts five-sided sublimation process, and the high temperature of about 170 degrees allows the ink molecules to penetrate deeper into the surface and interior of the PBT material. Compared with the printing process of ordinary keycaps on the market, the pattern is more beautiful. The color, details and texture are completely full, and with the presentation of diversified themes, each set of keycaps is as picturesque as a painting.

In addition, the keycaps with a content of more than 85% imported PBT materials, compared with the problems of ABS material keycaps that are easy to oil and wear, have high heat resistance, excellent toughness, fatigue resistance, resistance to hot water, alkalis, acids, etc. He has performed very well in food, oil and other aspects. Luo Fei proved with his strength, who said that appearance and strength cannot coexist?

In the end, I found that the OEM height keycap of Lofree is very compatible. My base is not theirs, but it is still perfectly compatible and fits perfectly.

Practical part

After the Lofree keycap DIY, the height of the OEM keycap is higher than that of the original factory. After getting started, there is a slight sense of dislocation. With the shaft body I purchased separately, the knocking feeling is more obvious when the fingers type quickly. For me For such a person with a high frequency of codewords, after changing this PBT keycap, the fingertips will have stronger adhesion when typing, and the typing experience will improve and be more enjoyable.

epilogue

Compared with traditional ABS keycaps that are monotonous, poor in workmanship, cheap in appearance and will appear "oily" after a long time, Lofree "shipboard panda" OEM height keycaps can be said to eliminate the above situation from the root. And the novel combination of warship + national treasure panda is both hardcore and national fashion, which is refreshing and at the same time can not help but admire lofree Luofei's design skills. In addition, there are more colorful Lofree themed keycaps, and you can choose themes with different styles. Besides, changing the skin is changing your mood, and you can also enjoy the fun and sense of accomplishment of DIY. Why not do it? ?
