Chapter 1: RK R104——An entry-level invincible product that brings a leapfrog experience behind the ultimate price-performance ratio. Full-size configuration and user ecstasy. Starting from 139 yuan, can you continue to write the myth of R87?

How popular RK R87 is, everyone has experienced it. Monthly sales of 100,000+, rave reviews, supply exceeds demand. To be honest, this is really a bit exaggerated. Sure enough, the entry-level market is the biggest, but R87 is invincible It is fragrant, but it does not have a digital area. For users who need a digital area, no matter how fragrant you are, it will not work if you can’t meet my needs. This is not RK R104.

The overall design and configuration of RK R104 are in the same line as R87. The standard RGB side lights on both sides of the whole series make the game atmosphere full. The well-received RK independent T0 satellite axis and independent K series axis are also carried on R104. It can be said that the experience of R87 is as good as that of R104. Next, let’s talk about the R104 keyboard in detail.

Configuration and price comparison

To save money at the beginning, RKR104 has two versions this time, which are divided into monochrome light version and RGB version. Large keys, qwerasdf, esc, arrow keys); the RGB version is hot-swappable with full-key shaft seats and full-key RGB lights. All R104 series are equipped with EVA sandwich cotton, bottom cotton and RGB side lights as standard. In terms of price, the monochrome light version of the green and tea switches is 139 yuan, the K yellow and K white switches are 159 yuan, and the K silver switches are 169 yuan; the RGB version of the green and tea switches is 219 yuan, and the K yellow and K white switches are 239 yuan. The K silver shaft is 249 yuan, and the difference between the two versions with the same shaft is 80 yuan.

1. Appearance

RK R104 adopts 104 arrangement and has a complete digital area. The 104 arrangement is just what many office workers and users who need a complete digital area just need. The shell of the R104 still has a delicate skin-like touch, and the sun pattern is very delicate. The three indicator lights on the digital area are actually designed with double-layer soft light, which is quite detailed; beside the three indicator lights, three raised lines are made, which not only increases the sense of design, but also makes the area where the 104 array can park the aircraft carrier appear Not so empty. The lower edge where the front is in contact with the hand is designed with a large chamfer, so that it will not hurt the hand; the two sides are designed with a 7-shaped design, and there are RGB light strips to make the atmosphere full; the back is made with three-way outlet slots and double sections Type footrest for easy cable management and adjustment for a comfortable input angle.

Second, the shaft

RK R104 still uses five shafts in green, tea, K yellow, K white, and K silver. I still recommend the K shaft version. This is a K silver switch, which is a silver-like switch that touches the bottom in advance and is triggered in advance. The interior is moistened and the press is smooth; it uses a double-segment extended spring, and the rebound is very easy to handle; the initial pressure is 45 grams It can also effectively prevent accidental touches; although the K silver axis has no dust-proof wall, the stability of the axis is quite excellent, which is very suitable for game parties, and of course it is also very good for coding. The K-axis is of great significance for entry-level products, because the K-axis is well-run and pressed smoothly, without obvious spring and shrapnel sounds. Suggestions for purchasing K axis: K yellow is a heavy pressure linear axis, suitable for people who prefer heavy pressure (such as cherry black, etc.); K white is a light pressure linear axis, suitable for code words; K silver is a type that is triggered in advance Silver axes, suitable for games.

3. Satellite axis

How powerful RK’s new satellite switch is, maybe “everyone on the earth knows”, it touches the bottom simply, rebounds neatly, without any wire sound or space key travel, RK R104 is undoubtedly also equipped with this top-level satellite switch, the entry price , The enjoyment of the top key is really full of sincerity.

4. Shaft seat and hot swap

This time, I would like to talk specifically about the axle seat. The axle seat of the monochrome 21-key position and the RGB full-key hot-swappable version both use the axle seat from Jiuzi Electronics. You should be familiar with Jiuzi Electronics. RK The K series shaft body is produced by Jiuzi Electronics. Jiuzi's new shaft seat adds two fixed pins, which requires two additional small holes in the pcb to allow the fixed pins to penetrate to the front side for soldering. If you want the shaft seat to fall off, the theoretical strength is similar to pulling out a welded shaft. The theoretical life of Jiuzi's shaft seat is more than 5,000 times, which is higher than 2,000 times of ttc ordinary shaft seat, and lower than 10,000 times of ttc e-sports shaft seat. Of course, the life expectancy is what the manufacturer said, and the actual use needs to be tested by the market. I don't think there is any need to worry. RK's sincerity and full conscience this year are beyond doubt.

5. Muffling

Both the single-light version and the RGB version use the double sound-absorbing cotton configuration of EVA sandwich cotton and bottom cotton, and the cavity sound is suppressed very well.

6. Keycap and RGB lighting effects

The whole series of RK R104 uses PBT-feeling ABS transparent keycaps. The transparent keycaps are still very dazzling when they are used with light effects. The RGB lighting effect of R104 is very good, the brightness is very high, and the lighting effect is smooth and natural.

7. Summary

RK R104 has a high-value and skin-like tactile shell, excellent customized K-series switches, top-level satellite switches, dual RGB light strips on the flanks, standard double EVA sound-absorbing cotton, and a starting price of 139 yuan , is a really good keyboard with low price and high experience. I believe this is another explosive product after the myth of RK or R87 explosive product.
