Compact 100key keys, experience a different 50° gray customized design: Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray bluetooth mechanical keyboard experience sharing

I have always wanted to buy a good-looking mechanical keyboard. Not long ago, I saw that Lofree Luofei released the Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray three-mode mechanical keyboard. This is a new model in the Xiaoqiao series family. It has high customization elements and looks good. It is quite special. It adopts a compact 100-key design and supports three-mode hot-swappable design. Already started, share your experience below.

The packaging design style of Xiaoqiao cement gray is still designed with Xiaoqiao series elements, and there are notebooks, watches, pencils and other elements on the packaging.

In addition to the small warped cement gray keyboard, there are other accessories in the package: USB-C to USB-A data cable, 3 AAA batteries, metal iron frame for ornaments, manual warranty card, etc.

Lofree's products have always emphasized the appearance design, and also captured the hearts of young people. The main color of the appearance of Xiaoqiao cement gray naturally corresponds to its name: cement gray, which is very suitable for boys to choose the color system, and boys' technology desktop Together, it can be said to be a perfect fusion.

Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray is equipped with a 100key key arrangement scheme. Although it adopts a compact design style, it still retains a relatively frequently used numeric keypad. It is also designed to keep the size of the entire keyboard roughly equivalent to 87 keys. More activity space can be reserved on the desktop, reducing the keyboard's occupation of the desktop space.

Although the design is compact, the shortcut function design has not been left behind. The button design at the bottom also takes into account both Win users and Mac users. When using two computers, you can quickly and smoothly switch between the two computers. I believe that many dual-system users Will love the seamless design like this.

With the reduction of key positions, many keys are also "multi-tasking". Combining FN + number keys to call multi-functions is also very "smooth" in actual use, and the control satisfaction is very high.

The keyboard as a whole is an arc, which corresponds to its name "Xiaoqiao". The entire keyboard has just the right 9° angle tilt, and the arc curve angle is just right, which can make the wrist more relaxed when using it, and there is not much fatigue even if it is used for a long time and frequently used in the office.

As mentioned earlier, Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray is a mechanical keyboard that supports three modes, which is more practical than some keyboards with two-mode design. It can switch between wired mode, wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth mode according to the user's usage habits. In addition, the biggest feature of the three-mode keyboard is that it can be connected to multiple devices and computers at the same time, and it is very practical to quickly switch between devices through different connection methods. On the "cocking point" on the bottom right side of the Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray keyboard is the mode switching knob switch, which can be switched by flipping.

The customized design of key and wire separation is more suitable for us to use with different wires.

Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray does not have a built-in lithium battery, but uses 3 AAA batteries. Compared with the built-in lithium battery, I like this design more. Because the built-in lithium battery has been used for a long time, the battery life will be shortened accordingly. The design of replacing the battery is convenient and fast, and there is no need to worry about the decay of battery health. A 2.4G receiver storage compartment is also designed in the battery compartment, which can be placed when not in use to avoid loss.

In order to meet the personalized use of users, Lofree is equipped with a metal iron frame, which can be installed on the keyboard, and it can be matched with your favorite magnetic Longli doll. The DIY look is very beautiful!

Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray uses the SA height keycap made of PBT material. The biggest feature of the PBT material keycap is that it is not easy to oil and has very good wear resistance. Of course, PBT keycaps cannot avoid oiling, but the probability is lower than that of ABS keycaps. Because the surface of the keycap will become smooth due to long-term friction and grease coverage.

The surface of the keycap has a very delicate sun-patterning process, and the rounded corners are also designed around it, which feels very good, and the keycap wall is also very thick. The spouts of the keycaps are well handled. With this standard of workmanship, it must be a very high level in the industry.

As for the shaft body, Jiadalong Yellow Switch Pro is used. As a well-known domestic shaft manufacturer, Jiadalong has a very good shaft feel and manufacturing process, and it also has a good reputation in the user circle. The shaft body of Jiadalong Yellow Switch Pro has its own lubrication effect, which makes the pressing feel light and delicate, warm and smooth, and the rebound is also very easy to use. The trigger pressure of the key shaft is about 50g, and the trigger stroke is 2mm. The shaft body uses anti-oxidation gold contacts, which has a certain improvement in anti-oxidation and anti-sulfurization performance, and further improves the service life of the shaft body. The trigger life of about 60 million times, in The sound is crisp when you hit the keys.

In order to meet the customized needs of different users for the switch body DIY, Lofree Xiaoqiao cement gray is designed to support hot-swappable PCB, and the switch body can be replaced by personalized customization to create a keyboard that suits you. For mechanical keyboards, the most direct impact on the experience is the switch body. As an old player who has used mechanical keyboards for many years, you must try it yourself when choosing a switch body. Whether you feel suitable for yourself after long-term use is only general. And talk.

After actual experience, the experience in daily typing is still very good. The trigger does not require too much finger pressure. Even if you tap the keys frequently for a long time, you will not feel obvious soreness in your fingers. After playing games such as "PUBG" and "CS", I can feel the comfort of this keyboard during long-time games. The main reason is that it adopts ergonomic design, even if I play games for a long time, the fatigue is less than that of ordinary keyboards. a lot of. Jiadalong Yellow Switch Pro has a fast response speed in the game, and the feel is also very smooth. Every tap does not have the lagging feeling of traditional mechanical keyboards sticking to the muddy water.

The coding experience is also very comfortable. The sound of Jiadalong Yellow Axis Pro typing in the office is very small, the trigger force does not need to be very strong, and the stroke is short. The most important thing is that it takes into account both games and office work, which can be regarded as meeting the needs of most users. In the office, I will use it to access the mobile phone, similar to replying to WeChat, the input feel and speed of the physical keyboard will be much more efficient than the virtual keyboard of the mobile phone. In addition, this is not afraid of the boss saying that he is chatting with his mobile phone at work.

As the homogenization of mechanical keyboards is becoming more and more serious, Lofree Luofei's Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray three-mode mechanical keyboard not only has its own high-value attributes, but also maintains its own unique customized design features. It supports wired, bluetooth, and 2.4G multi-mode, which makes this keyboard have a higher usage scenario. Mac, Win, mobile phone, and tablet are not a problem. With the Jiadalong yellow switch Pro, it has the feel of a conventional red switch, the actuation key stroke is only 2mm, and the actuation pressure is only 50g, which has a high cost performance. The 9° angle is raised to relieve wrist soreness and improve comfort.

In general, Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray adopts a compact 100-key design. On the basis of maintaining a compact body design, it brings a full-size keyboard control experience and provides convenient operation for office work. I hope that this sharing will be helpful to those who consider buying high-quality multi-mode game mechanical keyboards with customized attributes.
