Hello everyone, I am not a lazy dog, I am a lazy cat~
As an e-sports girl (cough cough), a ZDM lifestyler, a pursuit of quality life, a fan of light pollution, and a mechanical keyboard 18-line player, IQUNIX keyboards have always been what I have been wanting to start with for a long time.
IQUNIX is affectionately called an aluminum factory by players. Its keyboards, from design to workmanship, shaft body to texture, have a very good reputation in the keyboard circle. It can be said to be a banner of high-end quality keyboards.
I have grown grass through many products of the aluminum factory. This 618 finally pulled out the weeds. I bought an F97 Black Samurai for my husband and an M80 soft cute cat for myself. In this article today, I will share the F97 of the aluminum factory. Black Samurai keyboard.
In fact, at first my husband thought the key layout of this keyboard was a bit strange, but after receiving the keyboard and opening the box, my husband was immediately conquered by him. The texture of the aluminum factory is really not covered, and the difference is obvious as soon as you get started.
Gossip less, let's start from unboxing~
The packaging of this keyboard is low-key, and the whole texture is very pressing.
I have also touched a lot of mechanical keyboards. Many mechanical keyboards are not light, but the F97 from the aluminum factory is really heavy. I am still very impressed by the sense of weight.
The entire appearance design is too low-key, it is the same as the name of the black warrior, a bit tough guy, a bit mysterious.
Let’s have a look at the accessories first:
Data cables, key pullers, shaft pullers, cleaning brushes, receivers, adapters, and accessories are very rich, and all are black, consistent and unified.
The keycap is made of PBT material, which is delicate to the touch, durable and not easy to oil.
A keycap adapted to the MAC system is also given as a gift, taking into account the usage habits of MAC users, and the favorability is UP
The all-aluminum keyboard has a very narrow frame, and the corners are chamfered everywhere, and the details are full.
The feet are also very well designed. This kind of feet will not fall down, but they cannot be adjusted. The anti-slip effect is good, and it will not scratch the table. Typing on the keyboard is very comfortable.
❤Let’s talk about the layout of this keyboard first
F97 Black Samurai is a 100-key keyboard. The 1000-key keyboard adopts a compact key layout. Compared with the traditional 106-key layout, the length of the entire keyboard is much shorter, and it is closer to the length of an 87-key keyboard when placed on the desktop. More desktop space.
At the same time, the 100 keys allow the F97 to retain the numeric keypad, which makes it easier for many people to use without changing their input habits.
❤Let’s talk about the axis again
In terms of shaft body, I have basically used cherry shafts, so this time I chose TTC gold powder shafts. I have heard of the name of the gold powder switch for a long time. It is the first time to use this switch body, and the feeling is quite amazing-the feeling of getting started is light and silky like a girl. The layout of the F97 keyboard itself is very compact, and the trigger pressure of the shaft body is very light, so the entire typing experience can be described as elegant and light.
I think most people can hardly refuse this feeling. The ultra-light trigger pressure of 37G makes the typing feel more like a dancing swan. The pressure is light, the rebound is decisive, there is no sense of paragraph, very silky The gold powder shaft really deserves its reputation.
I think those who write code words are very worthy of feeling the golden powder shaft. Of course, the good experience of using the TTC gold powder switch also made me plant the Kuaiyin switch. If I will start with the TTC cooperation keyboard in the future, I really want to try the feel of the Kuaiyin.
F97 supports hot-swapping. In fact, it is not bad to buy some shafts and DIY.
❤Let’s talk about RGB lights again
This keyboard is an all-black keyboard, which is very low-key. After matching with RGB lighting effects, it has a colorful and black visual sense.
Because the key layout is very compact, the light can only faintly shine through the gaps in the keycaps.
The keycap itself is also opaque, it is really low-key and coquettish~
After removing the keycap, the RGB lighting effect is more obvious.
There are so many lighting modes, such as marquee, gradient, monochrome, water ripple, etc. There are light indicators on the keyboard when switching.
❤ Let’s talk about the connection method
Many keyboards in the aluminum factory support triple-mode links, and F97 is no exception. It can be wired, wireless 2.4G, and Bluetooth. It supports up to 5 device links, and the three connection modes can be quickly switched. Users can decide which connection method to choose according to their preferences and application scenarios.
For daily office work, the wireless or Bluetooth connection is more unfettered;
But when playing games, most people still feel that the wired connection is more stable.
It is the first time to buy a high-end keyboard with a price of 1,000 yuan. The aluminum factory F97 Black Warrior is very satisfactory in terms of design and workmanship.
You can feel the unparalleled texture of the all-aluminum keyboard. The chamfering, keyboard layout, three-mode connection, etc. can also be seen everywhere in the manufacturer's design. The details are really remarkable.
Choose the version with RGB backlight, which is more playable; the original keycaps are opaque, and the RGB can only be exposed from the gaps in the keycaps. It really has a "colorful black" feeling, and this low-key light pollution will not appear Too tacky, suitable for both men and women, and it will not violate the harmony for office or e-sports use. Of course, if you like more intense light pollution, you can also replace the keycaps yourself; if you want to try other switches, you can replace the switches by yourself, support hot swap, and you can play boldly.
In terms of the shaft body, I sincerely recommend everyone to try TTC's gold powder and quick silver. It feels silky and smooth, and the typing is very light and comfortable.
In short, I think the money is worth the money. If you want to buy a high-end keyboard, F97 Black Warrior is a very good choice.
