Bring freshness to the desktop: Black Canyon SODA68 three-mode mechanical keyboard

I have reviewed a lot of keyboards in the past two years, from 104 to 61, from the most traditional red switches to various customized switches. I have experienced many excellent mechanical keyboards. The dazzling switches and keycaps and the keyboard itself In the layout of the keyboard, it takes some thought to choose a mechanical keyboard that suits your own feel and aesthetic appearance.

Black Canyon SODA68 does not do a lot of publicity in China. This keyboard was also recommended to me by a friend in the keyboard circle. The main reason is that I want to try the feel and paragraph feel of this keyboard. Of course, this appearance is also one of the reasons that attract me. .

SODA68 is Black Canyon's customized keyboard with refreshing color matching as its selling point. It has a very refreshing soda style. It is also different from many domestic keyboards in appearance, and its recognition is still very high. The manufacturer presents a transparent dust cover. Compared with most thin plastic cases, this dust cover is much stronger, and it also adopts a magnetic design, which can be firmly attached to the keyboard. Of course This dust cover can also be used as a palm rest.

Since I want to choose a keyboard with a warmer tone, I chose the orange version of the hydrogen-oxygen blue switch (voiced paragraph switch). Since I have been using the red switch, it is also a very good choice to change to the blue switch with a strong sense of paragraph. experience. Due to the 68-key layout, the overall keyboard will not appear too large, on the contrary, it saves precious desktop space.

Four white non-slip pads are designed on the back. Since the keyboard itself is relatively thick, it is not like other keyboards that can be folded to adjust the height at three points. On the contrary, the height of this song is easier for users to adapt. There are Bluetooth and 2.4G switch and power switch at the bottom. The back is made of white bottom cotton, which can ensure the neatness and uniformity of the back panel.

Considering the needs of external keyboards for mobile phones and pads, the 2.4G receiver can support type-c and USB interfaces at the same time, which can meet the needs of computers and other mobile terminals. This is very flexible and creative, and it is also my first Put touch to the keyboard designed like this.

In terms of accessories, the manufacturer has equipped a key puller, a shaft puller, and a green braided data cable. In fact, the braided cable is not only more beautiful and textured, but also more durable. The accessories are still very good, and there is nothing fancy or impractical s things.

A close-up of the shaft puller is still very good. This is one of the reasons why I like Black Canyon, that is, the details are very well done.

SODA68 uses ball pudding keycaps. The two-color process and translucent design are very beautiful. The closed characters are still very good in terms of craftsmanship. Of course, the technical difficulty and cost are much higher than that of the open characters.

This keyboard has a blue switch, which is relatively close to the blue switch in my personal feeling. It has obvious layers and a sense of paragraph in terms of paragraph and rebound, and it also supports hot swapping, and the overall performance is excellent.

The surface of the keycap adopts a matte design, which is significantly improved in terms of non-slip performance and hand feeling, especially for long-term text input users.

In addition to the three-mode connection, SODA68 supports iOS, Windows, and Android systems, and has a good performance in system compatibility.

There are 4 indicator lights in the upper right corner of the keyboard: uppercase and lowercase letters, power indicator, Bluetooth, and 2.4G mode, which are convenient for daily use.

The upper right corner is the type-c interface, which is used for charging and wired connection.

I personally like this orange color scheme very much, it makes the whole desktop look more dynamic.

Not to mention my orange desktop background, it matches well. It is very suitable for girls in use. After all, this layout is more suitable for girls with smaller palms. Everyone knows that the BOX shaft, as a characteristic structure of Kaihua, can achieve the purpose of waterproof and dustproof, and can also guarantee the service life. As a shaft with obvious paragraphs, the sound will naturally be much crisper.

Naturally, there are many RGB light effects. I personally think that the light brightness of SODA68 is very high, coupled with the translucent keycap design, the effect will achieve the goal of getting twice the result with half the effort. 16.8 million kinds of light effects allow users who like light pollution to play enough at one time.

After a period of use, this keyboard is still very good as a small keyboard with a 68 layout. Although it does not take cost performance as a selling point, it has good performance in terms of parameters and feel, plus long battery life and full-key macro. The core selling points such as programming, the translucent frosted keycap design, it has to be said that it is a well-balanced keyboard in all aspects.
