Both strength and appearance, Daryou small cube sugar Z82 three-mode wireless office mechanical keyboard experience

In fact, as soon as you hear the name "little cube sugar", you know the positioning of this keyboard. Nowadays, peripheral products must not only have outstanding performance, but also pursue individuality and high appearance. Dareu obviously understands this, so now Dareu has a very rich product line, and the "small cube sugar" series keyboards I use now, The style is even more obvious, which is the gospel brought to the beauty party.

Appearance details

Just like its name, Dareu Small Cube Z82 three-mode wireless mechanical keyboard reveals "cuteness" everywhere. The 82-key arrangement makes it have a small size. At the same time, it is a three-mode wireless configuration, which greatly increases portability. . In terms of color matching, there are currently two options for small sugar cubes: vitality powder and canvas white. I chose canvas white this time. It is not actually white, but a retro warm color.

In terms of accessories, it is indeed simpler than other keyboards, but what is interesting is that replacement keycaps for ESC, ENTER, and space bar are also given away, allowing for a small wave of customization.

I made a combination and arrangement, and made a moving picture for you to compare by yourself.

The overall key layout of this keyboard is relatively compact. Except for the space bar, all the other keycaps use the unique "small sugar cube" design, with a large groove in the middle, which is really interesting to the naked eye. And the typing feel is also very comfortable, and the concave range is just enough to fit the fingertips. In addition, the function icons of the combination keys are all printed on the side, which will be more convenient to use.

For office-oriented keyboards, the volume adjustment knob in the upper right corner is quite useful. I like to listen to music while fishing. In order to match the overall temperament, Dareu made the knob pattern into a cat's claw, which is very unique. At the same time, there are three indicator lights next to the cat's paw, including capitalization, connection status and battery prompts.

The power button and charging port are on the left side of the top. The three-stage switch can quickly adjust the connection mode. The middle position is 2.4G, and the far left is Bluetooth. The interface uses the C port, which must be praised. The current notebooks and mobile phones are basically C ports, and daily charging will be more convenient.

The 2.4G receiver can be stored on the top, and I tried it and it was quite stable. I have always felt that the storage of the 2.4G receiver is very important, because I have encountered the embarrassment of not being able to find the receiver many times...so when I buy a keyboard later, I have to pay attention to this detail every time.

Experience

In the process of using it, I found that this keyboard is not only good-looking, but also pleasant to use. This is a three-mode keyboard, compatible with both Mac and Win dual systems. After connecting to the computer, you can switch between the two system modes by pressing the Fn+Del key, which is super friendly for dual system users like me.

In addition, in addition to the volume adjustment knob in the upper right corner, this keyboard can even mimic mouse interaction. Through the Fn+ key combination, you can use the keyboard to slide the mouse, click the left button, click the right button, etc., which is quite interesting.

In terms of the shaft body, the Dareu Z82 keyboard uses the Kaihua light tone shaft. It is actually the first time I use this type of shaft body, but the feeling is still very good. The triggering force of this axis is not strong, and there is no sound, which is suitable for office use. In addition, the feel of this shaft body is "soft", and it is a perfect match with the keycap of the small sugar cube. The shaft body also has a service life of 7000W times, so there is no need to worry about durability.

Plus, this keyboard comes with backlighting, which I didn't expect. Although it is only a single-color backlight, the white light is suitable for this keycap. If it is equipped with other light colors, I guess the scene will be a bit overwhelming. The breath of white light adds some fun to this keyboard, and the backlight also plays some functional roles. For example, after pressing the Fn key, the keys that can be combined will light up, and the rest of the keys will be off. For example, to check the power, the backlight of the number key represents the remaining power. These designs are really practical.

I also made a moving picture of the effect of the backlight. You can look at the picture and feel it. It still has a good effect after being turned on in a dark light environment.

Summarize

Overall, Dareu Small Cube Z82 is an office mechanical keyboard with a trendy appearance, and its unique design becomes the focus of the office. As for the selection of the shaft body, the light-sound shaft takes into account the feel and silence, and the daily use experience is good. The 2000mAh battery can bring 15 days of battery life when the backlight is turned off, which is also quite good. At the same time, there are volume knobs, various shortcut keys, and multi-platform compatibility. It can be said that the strength of this keyboard is outstanding enough. If you want to choose a good-looking and easy-to-use office wireless keyboard, you can really try this one.
