A mechanical keyboard for players with a large screen to achieve freedom of input, Dimo ​​F33 Star Hunter

Foreword:

When I first used a computer, the monitor was still a monochrome screen. Anyway, there was no graphics performance under DOS. When Legend of Sword and Fairy first came out, everyone was amazed by the exquisite graphics, unique battle animations and poignant plot. Over the years, monitors have gone from 14-inch CRT to 17-inch square corners, then 19-inch LCD, 24-inch, and 27-inch. Now some players have used 32-inch 4K 144Hz high-end gaming monitors.

Big monitors are not ideal for getting too close together, and with bigger monitors you take less desk space. To free up desktop space, peripherals are also a place worth considering. On the one hand, choose compact peripherals, and on the other hand, use wireless products. Dimo recently launched two three-mode products, the F87 Star Destroyer has 87 keys, while the F33 Star Hunter has 104 keys.

Unpacking articles:

In terms of appearance lines, the F33 Star Hunter is somewhat similar to the previous Dimo ​​F31, both of which are compact 104-key keyboards. The corners, especially the palm rest, are rounded, making the overall lines more rounded.

From this angle, everyone can see that this is a design with narrow borders on three sides. The upper frame and both side frames are ultra-narrow frames, while the lower frame is joined with a short hand rest, which is somewhat similar to the screen of a notebook.

However, I personally feel that this kind of short hand rest has little practical significance, mainly in terms of appearance.

In terms of backlight, 16.8 million color RGB backlight is used, and the keycap is ABS two-color injection molding with excellent light transmission and will not obliterate characters.

The design of the metal upper cover and the floating keycap is still used. This design is easier to clean, especially the traditional MX shaft, which has very poor dustproof performance, especially afraid of soot and the like. This structure is for easy cleaning of dust.

The top panel of Dimo ​​F33 is anodized, tinted, which looks low-key and steady. The black and gray two-color keycaps make the 16.8 million-color RGB backlight more eye-catching.

The upper panel also has a frosted process, which is full of texture. This extremely simple and compact shape is still very attractive.

In addition to the 16.8 million-color RGB backlight on the front, there are also RGB light strips on the side, which is even more cool.

In terms of the axis body, the optical sensor axis is used, which belongs to the axis body similar to the optical axis. The photosensitive switch is triggered by the principle of optics, and there is no physical contact inside the switch body, so the life of the button is increased by 100 million times. In terms of appearance, the cross column of the shaft body increases the side wall to increase stability and prevent dust. In addition, the SMD RGB LED solution is adopted, and the shaft cover light position is sealed accordingly to improve the waterproof and dustproof performance.

The shaft comes from Huanuo. Compared with the shaft, I am more familiar with Huanuo's fretting. Huanuo's fretting is cost-effective, and the Huanuo shaft that I came into contact with this time also has a crisp feel similar to that of an optical shaft. The pressure is about 50g, and the noise is relatively low, with a certain sense of paragraph. For friends who often need to record or play games at night, this shaft is still very pleasing.

The back is also a simple and practical design, and the large area of ​​non-slip mats ensures that we will not have problems such as sliding in the game or when recording at high speed. At the same time, there is a classic two-stage height adjustment at the bottom to meet the input habits of different users.

How to play the three-mode mechanical keyboard? It is very interesting for friends with many smart terminals. For end games, especially FPS e-sports games, I personally recommend using a wired connection to ensure zero delay. For daily office work or other non-e-sports games, 2.4G wireless is more than enough.

For smart terminals such as tablets and mobile phones, Bluetooth connection is also very pleasing. In fact, everyone is gradually getting used to cloud office applications. Whether it is wps or graphite, we can completely complete more than half of the business work on the tablet.

I have to say that the F33 still can't let me get rid of the impression of the F31 three-mode model. In terms of layout, lines and details, it follows the various mature designs and craftsmanship of the Dimo ​​mechanical keyboard, and at the same time introduces the concept of three touches. It has a good grasp of modern people's psychology that they don't like restraint more and more.

I have come into contact with two three-mode keyboards of Dimo. The F33 is a 104-key full keyboard, but it does not support hot-swappable switches. The mechanical keyboard is also a good choice. And, with no cables, the desktop is cleaner and the mood is better.
