Beautiful and able to play, Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard experience

As someone who likes digital products, I am quite obsessed with computer peripherals. I counted them carefully. I have used no fewer than 10 keyboards, but why did I change the keyboard this time? The main reason is that I want to match my desk well recently, but the keyboard looks more and more unsuitable, so I have today's Pennefather V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard.

I have always had a soft spot for the Rapoo keyboard. The material is solid and the price is relatively good. It can be said that the Rapoo peripherals are the most cost-effective. I just bought the Rapoo V700-8A. I really like it. It has outstanding appearance and solid materials. I must introduce it to everyone.

On the packaging, Rapoo V700-8A continues the simple design of the Rapoo family. The black and blue color scheme is slightly calm. A direct photo of the product on the front allows consumers to see the most authentic product. The appearance, the model identification of V700-8A on the right, once again clarifies the unique attributes of the product.

Inside the package, in addition to the protagonist Rapoo V700-8A, a Type-C data cable, 2.4GHz receiver, product instructions and a key puller are also included.

Rapoo V700-8A has 3 color schemes. The one I bought is the No Man’s Land color scheme. The main key area is mainly light coffee, dark coffee and off-white as decorative colors. The overall color matching of the keycaps looks very calm. The key point The combination of this dark color is very stain-resistant. I personally like this color combination very much. The keycap adopts the current mainstream double-material injection molding process, the hollow design of the characters, and the light transmission is not bad. Friends who often need keyboard backlights don’t have to worry about this. In addition, the surface of the keycap is also frosted, which has good wear resistance. Even if you have a high-intensity game party in time, you don't have to worry about the keycap being baptized by the years.

The Rapoo V700-8A adopts an 84-key design. The small keyboard looks very compact as a whole. While abandoning the numeric keypad, it retains the occasional function keys. I personally feel that this choice is very good. While ensuring complete functions, it greatly reduces the footprint of the keyboard.

For the middle frame of the keyboard, Rapoo uses a relatively common aluminum alloy material, and the surface is exquisitely sandblasted, which greatly improves the appearance and touch of the middle frame of the keyboard. There is a Type-C socket on the back of the keyboard, which is convenient for wired connection and timely charging for the keyboard. On the left side of the front, Rapoo also specially designed a LOGO with a backlight, which is very delicate.

In order to reduce the weight of the keyboard, the back is made of plastic with a matte texture. There are large non-slip pads at the four corners to ensure the stability of the keyboard on the desktop.

In addition to solid materials, a good keyboard is also a major selling point for its functionality. Rapoo V700-8A only has a multi-mode design, which supports three connection methods: wired, wireless 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth. Among them, the Bluetooth mode can connect 3 devices at one time, multi-protocol connection, and up to 5 devices can be online at the same time. You can switch devices through shortcut keys, which is very humane for friends with multiple devices.

As a mechanical keyboard, Rapoo V700-8A provides four types of switches, namely green, black, red, and tea. Each type of switch is aimed at a different scene. Personally, I occasionally play games and type for a long time, so I chose the green switch. I prefer the crisp sound of the green switch and the neither soft nor hard button feel.

This time, Rapoo V700-8A also added a pure white backlight system. Compared with multi-color RGB lights, I personally like this pure color feeling. There are 6 built-in backlight effects in the system. The key point is that the Rapoo V700-8A is also equipped with a driver, and the lighting can be customized through the driver. For those who like DIY, this design is directly magical. The key point is that the LOGO backlight in the lower left corner of the keyboard also supports 3 modes, which can be selected according to your own preferences.

If you think this keyboard introduction should end here, then you are really naive. Rapoo V700-8A also has a big trick, that is, a full 84-key programmable design. We need to use the supporting driver software to realize independent programming of all 84 keys, and set them according to individual needs, so as to perform better in work and games. Of course, these edited operations can be uploaded with one click, shared with other users, and programs of other users can also be downloaded, which greatly enriches the playability of the keyboard.

For this multi-mode keyboard, I personally have one more concern, and that is battery life. The Rapoo V700-8A has a built-in 4000mAh battery, which can provide 25 to 255 hours of battery life according to everyone's usage habits. Personally, I feel that this level of battery life is still very good in the field of wireless keyboards. According to my personal usage habits and frequency of use, a full charge of the Rapoo V700-8A can basically meet my one-month use, and I am still very satisfied with the battery life performance.

It has been less than a month since I received the Rapoo V700-8A. After using it for a month, I feel that the Rapoo keyboard is really the best in domestic peripherals. The appearance design of this Rapoo V700-8A is very pleasing, and the overall material of the keycap and keyboard is very conscientious compared with other products of the same price. The compact design of 84 keys is completely OK for using Vanu for work or games, and the multi-mode connection is really very convenient for friends with multiple devices. The driver programming design personally feels that it opens up a new mode of the keyboard, custom macros and backlight equivalents, etc., which greatly increase the playability of the keyboard. Generally speaking, with a price of more than 200, it is still very good to have these things.
