In the circle of customized mechanical keyboards, transparent key shafts, keycaps and even the body are just a personalized choice. The boss has too many tastes and tricks, what you like, just save enough money, whether you are transparent or odd-shaped, you are used to it and don’t be surprised.
But like Lofree, which promotes full transparency to the public, "radically" mass-produces it, and maintains a high level of look, feel and quality. As far as the current mechanical keyboard market is concerned, it is the only one.
Students who are familiar with Lofree should know that its keyboard and mouse, speakers, and lamps all have similar temperament, and strive to make the 2m² desktop beautiful, with outstanding taste and attractive appearance. Luofei's 1% transparent keyboard takes the same route.
The same 68 keys, Lofree almost completely reset, from the main body, key shafts to key caps, all transparent, with white backlight and 7 lighting effect modes, with dual-mode wireless to regulate the desktop, sweeping away the mediocrity and seriousness. PC and Mac double kitchen ecstasy.
As a practical party, I will not reject a mediocre and durable keyboard, but I also can't help casting longing eyes on this top-end appearance. Life is too difficult, how can you stick to the rules? Follow your own wishes, we don't ask for much, just for the passionate collision that is close at hand.
To Be The 1% means excellence or ingenuity. Everyone is eager to occasionally find a moment of difference in a stable life. Luo Fei said that this 1% will be penetrated by light and occupy your desktop.
The elegant box has a frosted cover on the outside, and the carcass on the inside reveals. I seem to have opened a transparent movement.
The yellow "ribbon" wraps the body, and the design language is eye-catching. The only accessory is a USB-A to C data/charging cable, and the C-port plug is L-shaped. The materials and workmanship have never been neglected.
No comparison, no rating, you can trust your perception. The light goes straight into the transparent keycap, turns back and forth in the medium of the transparent key shaft and the transparent body, and finally projects the texture and glare to my eyes.
The keycap is made of high-quality PC shell, which is highly transparent and crystal clear as ice. The keycap font is fine and elegant, using pad printing + UV technology. In addition to the black main characters, there are also blue and orange sub-characters. For example, the logos of F1~F12 are blue, and the function indicator icons of Fn are orange.
Under the transparent keycaps with delicate workmanship is the same high-transparency jellyfish switch body, which comes from Kaihua MX structure, taking into account the transparent appearance and good feel. Weak, the percussion sound is slightly soft, and the pressing force is moderate. The measured code words are not easy to touch by mistake, which is just right for me who likes red switches.
Turning over is also amazing, the bottom of the high-gloss plating is also outstanding, the Lofree LOGO in the center is simple and direct, and the layout of the four-corner pads is neat.
A section of support feet can increase the tilt of the keyboard and adjust the comfort of typing with both hands. There are 2 toggles near the supporting feet in the picture below, which are BT (Bluetooth mode) ← OFF (shut down) → ON (wired mode), and a toggle switch for Windows/Android system↔Apple Mac/iOS system.
The nearby opening on the front side is the Type-C charging port/wired mode data cable socket. You can also see the eye-catching 1% "declaration" on this side: Guys who refuse to be replaced by the world, you have chosen The 1% correctly .
There are 3 indicator lights on the upper edge of the keyboard near the backspace key, corresponding to the charging status, the uppercase of Shift, and the Bluetooth indicator light. The picture below shows the status when the Bluetooth mode is connected to the computer. During initialization, press and hold Fn+Q or W or E in the upper right corner to complete the Bluetooth binding with different devices. After that, you can press Fn+Q or W or E at any time to switch among the three bound devices at will.
Luofei 1% wireless dual-mode mechanical keyboard supports full key without punching, 68 keys to ensure independent up, down, left, and right keys, and 2 Fn keys to ensure fast output of function keys. For example, Fn in the upper right corner + number keys on the top row and minus and plus keys can be used to type F1~F12, and Fn + number keys in the lower right corner can control multimedia functions, so the office scene can be handled smoothly, and games and entertainment can also be held. The formula is concentrated, but it can be handled smoothly.
Comes with a white backlight, long press Fn + backspace key to turn on/off the backlight (all lights are always on by default), and short press Fn + backspace key to cycle through 7 backlight effects, and the brightness of the light can also be adjusted by Fn + up/ Press down to adjust, there are 4 levels of brightness; under different lighting effects, you can use Fn + left/right to adjust the changing frequency of lighting effects.
The white light is very pure, and it is not dazzling after being emitted through the keycap of the shaft body, but presents a soft visual effect.
Previously, some netizens described their look and feel as "diamond feeling". To me, the feeling of ice cubes is stronger. This kind of light penetration, whether it is the backlight of the key switch itself or the light around the keyboard, can go straight and return.
Interestingly, when you look straight at the keycaps, and then move your eyes down to the side of the main body of the keyboard, you will be distracted by the bottom shell (side) made of ABS material and high-gloss plating. Some details, such as the front The logo "nameplate" and the 1% Slogan on the side all reveal the designer's pride: it is made with ingenuity, dedicated to you who don't want to be trapped in deep constraints.
As I said at the beginning, transparency is not difficult, but what is difficult is to push transparency from the closed geek taste to all desktop workers in a concise and amazing way, and win the favor of the public. From this point of view, Luofei's task completion is very high, and to obtain this uniqueness and comfort, we don't need to spend too much effort on researching "customization from entry to mastery", just insert coins.
Perhaps, what Luofei 1% does is not only to produce a set of 68-key transparent wireless keyboards with good looks + feel + practicality, but also to fulfill your desire for unruly personality and make those almost buried by the world Spirituality and passion are resettled in this 2-square-meter area, despite the chaos around, it has its own world, pure and unique. Of course, the price to be paid for this uniqueness is still a bit expensive. Listed as a judge, if you didn't buy it for others, would you pay for it?
I’m a cool play writer, so this is the end of this pro-test, and we’ll see you next time.
