Brilliance can only rely on itself Chapter 104: The keycaps without oil are so good-looking, who can resist this?

Mechanical keyboards must be familiar to everyone. From being held by a minority more than ten years ago to being widely used now, the key feel of mechanical keyboards has been more and more recognized. Therefore, demand drives supply, and the number of users of mechanical keyboards also increases geometrically.

The popular ideas of consumer products generally go through the process of "hearing-wait-watch-know-try-commonly-really fragrant", and mechanical keyboards are naturally included. It’s just that the trend of popularity has begun to tilt slowly. Some players are not satisfied with the same factory fixed configuration, and then seek some custom kits, including PCB boards, keyboard cables, sound insulation cotton, key shafts, keycaps, etc., among which the most immediate effect The keycap is the keycap. After all, it is equivalent to changing a set of skins after changing it, and the effect is immediate.

In recent years, the rapid development of Lofree in the field of peripherals is inseparable from its high appearance and mainstream performance. Every product launch can severely harvest the desires of users.

Due to work and self-media hobbies, the codeword usage rate of the keyboard at home is quite high. The ABS keycaps are very oily after being used for a long time. Choosing a long-lasting keyboard without oiling is just what is needed.

Recently, Lofree has launched a variety of custom themed keycaps. After several comparisons, I bought two sets of keycaps, "Shipboard Panda" and "Street Attitude", to replace the original keycaps of my keyboard. It doesn't matter whether you are tired of aesthetics, or you like the new and dislike the old, you can update it and change your mood.

"Play keycaps, find Luo Fei". These two sets of keycaps are very directional. Each set of keycaps is equipped with 131 keys. It is absolutely handy for the common 61/87/104 layout keyboards in the market, and even the niche layouts such as 69/100/108 can also be found. To the comfortable point of matching, it is suitable for keycap matching of most mechanical keyboards.

The two keyboards that replaced the keycaps this time happened to be representative, respectively, the K310-RGB-NS version (104 configurations) representing the mass configuration and the upstart GM1000 (100 configurations) representing the niche configuration. Let’s take a look after installing them respectively. Measured performance.

Equip the "shipboard panda" on the 108 keyboard. Speaking of the origin of the "ship-borne panda", it is a bit interesting. This big IP is based on the staff of the Shandong ship as the prototype and created in the image of the national treasure panda. All elements are related to technology and military, which is tough and cute.

My father taught me a point of view since I was a child that "whoever has something is worse than myself". Now that I have a family and a business, I feel more empathetic to this sentence.

For this matter, Lofree has created an element of "own" - its self-built keycap factory, independently developed high-precision molds, non-male keycaps, which have some uniqueness in themselves; production and quality control links They are all controlled by themselves, and product stability can be effectively guaranteed.

Lofree key caps are made of imported PBT material with a content of more than 85%. PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) material has the characteristics of heat resistance, flame retardancy, electrical insulation and wear resistance. The performance has been further enhanced, and it has brought a breeze in the application of keycaps; it is precisely this feature that makes PBT keycaps the high-end material recommended by various peripheral brands.

The keycaps made of PBT material will not oil up after a long time of use, which is more secure than ABS material.

The five-sided sublimation process provides a more refined processing hotbed for the keycaps. Each keycap is not only bright in color, but also the details and textures are clearly outlined.

Now that the concept of Shandong ship has been introduced, the sense of technology such as "completely independent design and construction" and "electromagnetic ejection" of Shandong ship has also been borrowed into the keycap design. The command sense of these colorful keycaps is quite obvious.

Replacing the keycaps is not too troublesome, but what is troublesome is the sanitation of the keyboard after replacing the keycaps.

Hair, food crumbs, and small particles are usually inconspicuous under the cover of the keycap, but they all show up after being fully exposed. One-time cleaning is completed, which can be regarded as meeting the urgent needs of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

This time the switch body is the cherry silent red switch.

Spelled out the brand logo of "Lofree", and found that an E was missing, so I could only temporarily borrow one to recharge...

It is best to have a one-to-one correspondence when replacing keycaps: replace a new keycap, put the old keycap back into the keycap tray, so that you can replace and tidy up at the same time, avoiding secondary work.

After the same frame, due to the contrast of light and dark colors, it seems that the black keycaps are smaller, but in fact, the size of the keycaps is almost the same when viewed from a bird's eye view, and there is no obvious difference.

But if you look at it from another angle, there will be a significant difference. The OEM height of the Lofree keycaps will be slightly higher.

The exclusive key puller that comes with the keycap has made great contributions in the process of replacing the keycap.

At the end of the day, it feels better than expected. The small gap in the height of the keycaps does not make the combination of each other uncoordinated.

Three times, five times and two times, all the keycaps are replaced. This set of Lofree keycaps is particularly friendly to keyboards with regular arrangements, and the 108 arrangements are completely arranged.

There are still 23 buttons for spare, and the buttons with different configurations can also be supported at any time.

In view of the 108 key positions being completely replaced synchronously at 1:1, the spare yellow cute keys will be reserved for the time being, and will be activated when there is a suitable opportunity.

Even if the keycap is not partly transparent, there is no separate RGB light transmission effect after installation.

Under the dim light, the sense of technology is more revealing, beautiful!

Viewed from the side, the OEM height is just right, which does not affect typing, and also keeps the RGB lights from being buried.

Hey~ The completely new keyboard, it is my favorite theme again, and my mood has been cleansed.

A man is a teenager until he dies. Speaking of this street attitude, it is basically a keycap designed with graffiti as the basic element.

The overall keycap presents a free-spirited attitude towards life, extremely free, just like Lofree. As an old fan, I certainly know that the origin of Lofree is because of the gathering of a group of creative designers and the bursting out of various avant-garde ideas, which inject a new way of life into the life of peripherals.

As for the street attitude, the open-mindedness is manifested through some casual and uncertain works-the development history of graffiti is roughly the same.

This time I will land on a keyboard with 100 key positions and see how well it matches!

This time the switch body is the Kaihua BOX white switch. The structural design of the keycap joint point is slightly different from the cherry switch, which should not affect the keycap replacement.

The fit is really high! Tried replacing a batch, exactly matched properly.

It is still the factor I was worried about before. The three keys on the upper right of the keyboard did not find the keycaps that completely match the words, so the keycaps with these small animal patterns can be used universally; the state and style are exactly the same. sense of violation.

After replacing the "street attitude" keycaps, the keyboard as a whole shows a classic black/white/gray color scheme, and the overall feeling is very strong; the sauce yellow embellishment of the ESC in the upper right corner is more agile.

The pattern on each white keycap has its own little character's movements, and it can also be faintly connected to form an overall picture. The design is really intentional.

The five-direction dye-sublimation technology lays out the pattern quite coherently. If you have a big brain, you may also tell a story based on the content of the keycap.

This is naturally also a keyboard that supports RGB lighting effects. After it is turned on, it projects colors between black, white and gray, and the atmosphere is well decorated.

Two "modified" keyboards in the same frame! Turn off the screen hanging light, and the overall RGB lighting effect makes the keycaps especially beautiful.

Of these two keyboards, one is used for office work and the other is used for games, no matter which one will be used with a lot of tapping.

Looking closely, it seems that there are some illusions of neon lights after the lighting effect is turned on. Self-contained is a personality, and the distinctive keyboard is so impressive.

When the appearance and performance are integrated, the keycaps of Lofree Luofei can be regarded as a playful game!

Now I don't have to worry about the oily keycaps, after all, "When playing with Luofei keycaps, say no to greasy ones!"

Lofree has now launched N types of keycaps in various styles, and will update several types every quarter in the future. After hearing the news, I felt a faint pain in my kidney...
