Change a set of keycaps, change your mood

I. Introduction

Personally, I played with peripherals relatively early, probably around 2011. At that time, when it comes to mechanical keyboards, they were still filco, ducky, etc., and the switch body was mainly cherry MX switches, unlike now, where a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend.

Then, time passed, interests shifted, and the existing peripherals could not bear to be sold, and there was no idea of ​​adding new equipment, so it was still the stock that year, and there were no new additions for many years.

However, this year’s Double Eleven, I accidentally saw a set of keycaps with good color matching at the aunt’s house. keyboard.

2. Appearance

The keyboard body used is the electrostatic capacity of this noppoo, with 108 keys and a total area of ​​45 grams.

Speaking of noppoo, it also had a certain status in the keyboard industry back then, but I don’t know how it is now.

This is the first electrostatic capacitor released by the company, and the initial price is 699.

Speaking of the feel, it is very light, similar to a film, and lighter than the red shaft. Typing is very brisk, but also less feeling.

Why buy Quanyu 45g? It’s because I used realforce’s electrostatic capacity before, Korean version, 55 grams of the whole range, it feels a bit heavy, heavier than the black shaft, so I chose the 45 grams of the whole range this time, I didn’t expect it to be so light.

On the keycap, a total of 126 keys, low-light version.

The reason why there are 126 keys is that in addition to the standard 104 keys, in order to meet the needs of different keyboards, an additional 22 keys have been added, and they are all more individual.

Thinking of the price of personalized keycaps back then, and looking at the fact that 22 can be given as a bonus now, it is a bitter tear.

keyboard effect.

The light problem is not very clear, but it actually looks very soft and the color matching is very comfortable.

The height of the keycaps is a bit strange, because the OEM height keycaps have been used for so many years, and the difference between different models and styles is not bad. But this set is different, and the feel is very different. The overall feeling is that the middle rows are made higher.

However, this kind of feel, after dozens of minutes of knocking to get used to it, is actually not bad?

The original keyboard is 108, and the 4 keycaps in the upper right corner are not suitable yet, so I took 4 keycaps to replace them.

Take a side view.

Three, finally

The original keycaps of noppoo108 electrostatic capacitors have a good color scheme and a good hand feel, but it is inevitable that they will be unfeeling when you look at them and use them for a long time.

At this time, the cost of changing a set of keycaps is not high, and the exchange is indeed pleasing to the eye for a period of time, which is really worth it.

In the end, I still have to sigh that times have changed. A set of PBT keycaps used to cost one or two hundred, but now it is so cheap.
