As a keyboard man, I have to introduce this niche keyboard - Black Canyon SODA68 mechanical keyboard evaluation experience

Hello everyone, I am Taotie

In addition to some basic functions, the current mechanical keyboard is actually a tool to show personality and self. It is conceivable that when a cool mechanical keyboard is placed in the office or bedroom, the envious eyes that others inadvertently cast not only satisfy one's own heart, but also show that a good product can naturally be recognized by others.

I think this is also the reason why more and more brands are constantly looking for differentiation. Only by playing cards that others do not have can stand out in such an introverted keyboard market. Among them, the appearance is naturally the most important link. After all, consumers must first understand a product through visual perception. Therefore, excellent appearance design and coordinated color matching are actually very important design contents in mechanical keyboards.

As a well-known keyboard warrior of Aunt Zhang, I have actually seen enough various keyboards this year, but among the many keyboards, this one really surprised me. Although it is not a big product in itself, I think It is still necessary to introduce to everyone, it is SODA68 from Black Canyon.

After all, the theme is SODA (soda), so stylized patterns similar to canned drinks are added to the exterior design, which is very interesting and artistic.

When you open the package, you can see the keyboard itself.

Take out the accessories and you can see that it includes the power cord, key puller, shaft puller, manual, and hard dust cover.

This Black Canyon SODA68 uses a hard transparent dust cover. Compared with ordinary soft covers, this one is not only dustproof and soil-proof, but also more durable. For me in the northern city, it is a must Give a good review.

In addition, this hard dust cover also has a magnet inside, which can be attached to the side as a hand rest when it is put down.

When you see the keyboard body, you will find that the most attractive part of this Black Canyon SODA68 is its fully transparent appearance design, in which the transparent double milk leather keycaps can even clearly see the inner shaft core, and with the orange transparent shell, At first glance, there is a unique feeling, an absolute eye-catching artifact.

In terms of configuration, this keyboard adopts the very popular 65% small-size layout, retains the arrow keys and some function keys, and finds a balance between portability and practicality.

The texture of the whole shell is very thick, without the flimsy feeling of cheap plastic. In the frame position in the upper right corner, you can see four light positions, which are upper and lower case, Bluetooth, 2.4G and lock key.

Although there is no adjustable foot support at the bottom of this Black Canyon SODA68, thanks to the good ergonomic design, there is no discomfort when knocking.

Turn it over and you can see that the whole transparent orange-yellow shell is still very aggressive. With the white foot pads, the appearance is full.

The small white lever in the middle of the keyboard is the wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth selection key and the power switch key.

The wireless receiver is hidden on the back of the keyboard, and it adopts a magnetic fixation method, which is not easy to fall. In addition, this receiver is also a USB-A and Type-C two-way plug, which means that devices such as mobile phones and tablets can also be easily connected directly. .

In the middle of the keyboard, you can see the whole sound-absorbing rubber pad with the Black Canyon logo printed on it.

In terms of the switch body, the Black Canyon SODA68 in my hand uses the BOX hydrogen-oxygen blue switch specially customized by Kaihua, and the overall feel is a strong blue-like switch style. I have to say that the BOX axis is really cool to use, and the crisp sound brought by the "click, click" is super decompressing.

The position of the big key is still the standard satellite shaft design of the positioning board, which is very stable when shaking, and grease is added inside, and the smoothness is quite good.

In terms of structure, although it is still a traditional hull structure, in order to improve the cavity sound, a high-density silicone interlayer is added between the positioning plate and the PCB, and a whole piece of low-density silicone pad is added at the bottom, secondary filtering, details in place.

Let's have a tap test sound experience.

Of course, this Black Canyon SODA68 has also added a hot-swappable base, so that players can replace the shaft with different handles according to their needs.

In terms of keycaps, the keycaps of this keyboard are made of PBT ball caps, and the key skirt and the top are matched in two colors, which look like small puddings and are very distinctive. In addition, the whole set of keycaps also adopts closed-mouth technology, and there is nothing wrong with the texture or workmanship.

Such a transparent keycap naturally needs to be matched with RGB lighting effects to show its cool effect. I have tried more than 10 kinds of lighting effects. It can be said that the gameplay you want is basically included.

However, it is also due to the transparent keycap that the light pollution is more serious in the dark environment at night. So the RGB lighting effect is actually a double-edged sword, it depends on how you want to show its brilliance.

In addition, this keyboard uses a three-mode connection, that is, wired, 2.4G wireless, and Bluetooth. After trying it, the connection is relatively stable, and the delay is also within an acceptable range. If the battery life is official, it can reach 30 days, which is safe enough to use.

Through this period of use, I found that this Black Canyon SODA68 mechanical keyboard is still very good.

First of all, I will give a very high score in terms of appearance. The fully transparent keycaps and cool shell make this keyboard completely different from other male model keyboards. It can attract your attention at first glance. In addition, it can be customized The unique BOX shaft body, stable large key adjustment, small configuration size, three-mode connection, hot-swappable technology, full RGB lighting effect, etc. also make this SODA68 completely free of shortcomings.

In short, if you like to pursue maverick and be different like me, then this Black Canyon SODA68 mechanical keyboard is definitely worth a try.
