Heijue recently released a wired 87-key mechanical keyboard AK873. The most important thing is that this mechanical keyboard has Biluo switch and Shanlan switch, which are different from the conventional switches. I have encountered these two switches for the first time. Since there are two new switches, there must be something different from the conventional black and green switches, so what about the new switches? What are the features of this new keyboard? Come and experience it with me!

Heijue AK873 is a wired DIY mechanical keyboard, which adopts a type with separated keys and wires. C interface, wired USB transmission, 87-key layout, product size 363*137*37mm, product weight 758±5g, the shell is made of ABS injection molding, the keycap is made of PBT two-color injection molding, the cable length is 1.6 meters, all keys have no punch, adapt to windows , Mac and Android systems.

This keyboard has a variety of switch bodies to choose from, including five types of switches: Biluo switch, Shanlan switch, green switch, black switch, red switch, and brown switch. In addition, this keyboard has 2 versions, one is the wired version I started with, and the other is One is the wireless three-mode hot version; in terms of lighting effects, there are mixed light version, ice blue version and RGB version, and the wired ice blue version is available in black and white.

With so many versions, users can choose according to their needs. The one I bought is the second-generation white wired ice blue light of the Shanlaan axis.

According to the usual practice, first unpack the box, and the package contains 1 Heijue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard, 1 1.6-meter-long Type C interface to USB data cable, 1 key puller, 1 shaft puller, and 1 product instruction manual This book, and 4 key shafts of the same style that can be plugged and replaced, the components are quite rich.

Heijue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard adopts a simplified layout of 87 keys, which further simplifies complexity while retaining complete keyboard functions. The detachable magnetic surface cover is used. After installing the magnetic surface cover, it is inclined to the built-in shape. When the magnetic surface cover is removed, it becomes a floating type. There are two styles, and users can choose according to their own style. It is very convenient to disassemble and switch.

There are 2 indicator lights on the arrow keys, one is the W key, which indicates win lock, and the other is the C key, which indicates the capitalization state.

Heijue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard adopts ergonomic design. The keys are designed with high and low keys, and have a certain inclination angle, which is more suitable for finger touch. The curvature of the keycap brings a comfortable ergonomic experience. The keyboard has a built-in triple sound-absorbing material, including: sandwich cotton, under-shaft pad and bottom cotton, which can fill the gap inside the keyboard, effectively reduce the cavity sound generated when tapping, and make the hand feel more solid.

Heijue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard has a Type C interface on the front and slightly to the right, through which the keyboard is connected to the computer, plug and play. The applicability of the separation of the keys and wires is also strong. If you want to go out and carry it, it is also convenient to disassemble and store.

The bottom of the Heijue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard is equipped with a foot support, which can prop up the keyboard and form a certain tapping height.

Use a key puller to pull out the keycap, and you can see the key shaft of the Heijue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard. This keyboard has 5 key switches to choose from, among which there are two relatively new key switches, one is the second generation of Biluo switch, and this key switch is a paragraph ahead of schedule. The other one is the second generation of Shanlan axis (linear axis body), which has been lubricated at the factory, has a sensitive knock response, a trigger pressure of 45g, a starting point of a segment of 2.0mm, and a total stroke of 4.0mm. The third is the green axis, which has a strong sense of paragraph and a strong sense of rhythm during the game , the sound is clear and crisp, suitable for professional gamers and players with fast operation response; the fourth model is the red switch, with a straight up and down typing feeling, the sound is low when tapping, and the typing is smooth and smooth, suitable for office workers, game lovers and quiet environments, trigger The pressure is 45+10gf, the total travel is 4.0mm; the fifth model is the brown switch, which combines the dual characteristics of the red switch and the green switch. .

Comparing these 5 key switches, the trigger pressure of the Shanlan switch is the lightest, followed by the Biluo switch. Then there is the percussion feeling, paragraph feeling and sensitivity, which users can choose according to their needs. This time I chose the second generation of Shanlan switch. The key switch feels smoother, more sensitive in response, light in trigger pressure, quick in rebound, and the speed is between the red switch and the silver switch.

The Heijue AK873 keyboard not only has a pluggable keycap, but also a key shaft that can be replaced freely. The shaft body can be pulled out for replacement through the shaft puller. The three-legged and five-legged shafts are compatible, which means that you can see it on the market. You can just buy the shaft in the box directly, and there will be no compatibility issues. It is equivalent to a keyboard that can experience a variety of axis feel, and it is not a loss to invest in shares.

The Heyjue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard I experienced has an ice blue lighting effect, and various lighting effects can be switched through FN+ HOME/PGUP/PGDN/DEL in the keypad. In my personal opinion, ice blue has a more gorgeous penetrating light, which looks more dazzling. You can see the keys displayed through the keycaps, as well as the light around the keys. There are 22 kinds of lighting effects by factory default, which can be switched by different key combinations.

After the overall experience, the keys of Heijue AK873 wired DIY mechanical keyboard Shanlan axis 2 generation are very smooth to the touch, the rebound is more supple, and you will not be tired after typing for a long time. It will be there, whether it is typing or gaming is very comfortable.
