I have always had a soft spot for compact mechanical keyboards, not only because of its compact structure, The utilization rate of the buttons is high, and because it does not take up much of the desktop. Among the compact keyboards, there are mechanical keyboards with 84, 87, and 89 keys that I particularly like, because although the keys are simplified, the basic keyboard structure is still there, but the keypad is omitted. Recently, Rapoo released a new 84-key mechanical keyboard, which is no longer a single color, but uses a variety of customized colors, and has LED lighting effects. Of course, I can’t miss it for those who love compact mechanical keyboards.

Rapoo V700-8A is a multi-mode backlit mechanical keyboard that supports four connection modes: Bluetooth 3.0, Bluetooth 5.0, wireless 2.4G and wired connection. It can intelligently connect multiple devices and switch at will. Built-in rechargeable lithium battery, avoiding the trouble of battery replacement, wireless/Bluetooth connection, avoiding redundant wire interference. The entire mechanical keyboard adopts a full mechanical switch design, with a lifespan of up to 60 million times, durable and responsive. In the wired mode, it supports full keyboard without punching, and Bluetooth and 2.4G supports any six-key padding, avoiding interference in game competitions. Taking into account the preferences of e-sports gamers, this keyboard has a pure white backlight and has 7 modes with adjustable brightness and frequency. At the same time, this keyboard has three colors of Lonely Brave, Mecha Purple and No Man's Land, and four keyboard switches of black, red, green, and tea. A total of 12 colors and key switches can be combined to meet different user needs. . The one I experienced is the Pennefather V700-8A mechanical keyboard with black switches and no man's land color matching.

After opening the carton, the internal packaging of the keyboard is quite fine, and the built-in foam can ensure that the keyboard will not receive too much impact during transportation. After sorting out, I found that the components of the Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode backlit gaming mechanical keyboard are quite rich. The main components include 1 Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode backlit gaming mechanical keyboard, 1 key puller, Type 1 USB data (charging) cable with C interface, 1 wireless 2.4G receiver, and 1 quick use guide.

The color matching of the Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard No Man’s Land Edition has its own characteristics. According to my own understanding, no man’s land should give people a feeling of desolation and silence. Most of them are a kind of depression and depression. This kind of environment mostly appears in games, especially some military-themed games. These no-man's lands are often not as calm as they appear on the surface, but there are hidden killing chickens. Therefore, the color matching adopts light brown, brown gray, matte white and other colors. The keyboard alone will not be too outstanding, but if you also turn on the pure white backlight, it will be another flavor. Because the colors are relatively close, and the translucent letters are not too obvious when the light effect is turned off.

After turning on the light effect, it feels completely different. But in any case, this keyboard adopts an 84-key compact keyboard layout, and the key line separation design greatly reduces the desktop space occupation, and is easy to carry, giving people a simple and orderly feeling. The ultra-narrow aluminum alloy frame adopts sandblasting oxidation process CNC trimming, and there is a brand V series Logo in front of the key, which is quite simple and eye-catching. The overall line of the keyboard is clear, simple and elegant, full of technological texture, and durable, which makes people love it.

The keys of the Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard are basically the same as those of ordinary keyboards, except that there is an extra line of marks on the number keys 1-5, 1-3 are three different Bluetooth marks, and the fourth is wireless 2.4G. The number 5 is the mark of the wired connection. Through the combination of FN and 1-5 number keys, you can switch between different devices, and one keyboard can connect up to five paired devices. The backlight mode can be adjusted by FN+right Ctrl, the distribution is ripple mode, constant light mode, single light mode, breathing mode, starry mode and curve mode. Use FN and the left and right arrow keys to decrease or increase the change frequency of the LED backlight, and use FN and the up and down arrow keys to adjust the brightness of the backlight.

The Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard is inclined at a certain angle, which makes the keys have a sense of hierarchy. There are no other designs on the left and right sides. Viewed from the side, you can clearly see its floating buttons. This design is more resistant to dirt, dust and pollution, and will be better.

On the left front of the Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard, there is a USB Type The C interface can not only charge the keyboard, but also act as an interface for wired connection. This mechanical keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, which supports charging while using. With Rapoo's low-power wireless technology, it can be used continuously for 25-225 hours when fully charged and wirelessly (up to 1 week to 2 months). The keyboard is equipped with a USB about 1.5 meters long type The C-interface data cable can be used for charging or as a wired connection. However, wireless 2.4G or Bluetooth connection is generally used. When there is no power, a wired connection will be used in case of emergency.

In the middle of the bottom surface of the Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard, there is a product label affixed with information such as the product model, charging voltage and current. There are four non-slip foot pads at the four corners of the keyboard, and the keyboard is designed with a bracket, which can support a certain slope and make typing or gaming more comfortable. On the bottom of the keyboard, also see a keyboard power switch labeled ON and OFF.

The Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard uses Rapoo’s own mechanical key switches. As mentioned earlier, this keyboard has four different key switches, which are black switches, green switches, red switches, and brown switches. 60 million times percussion life. Pull out the keycap with a key puller, you can see the black key shaft, and there is the English LOGO of Rapoo on the key shaft. The start of the black switch requires greater pressure, and the trigger is quick, suitable for professional games. The key stroke is 2.0±0.6mm, the trigger pressure is 60±20cn, and there is no sense of paragraph. When I first started using it, the feeling of the black switch was a bit tight, mainly due to the high trigger pressure.

The Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard adopts two-color injection-molded keycaps, which are uniform in light transmission, fade-resistant, and wear-resistant, fully meeting the needs of daily use, and the knocking feel is also good. The light-transmitting effect of keycaps can only be shown when they are actually used. You can see from the above figure that the backlight of some keycaps is turned on, and you can see obvious letters. For the keycaps with the backlight turned off, then The letters are less obvious. The transmitted light is relatively uniform, which adds a lot of color to the keyboard.

Although the pure white backlight is relatively monotonous, with the color matching of the keyboard, the Pennefather V700-8A mechanical keyboard still adds a lot of color. These are two typical backlight effects, one is fully open and the other is curved, which can be clearly seen. Feel the change in the curve of the backlight. In addition, through the supporting driver software, independent programming of each button can be realized, and multiple sets of configuration files can be saved to switch between different scenarios.
