Customization entry "volume king" hits, JamesDonkey A3 mechanical keyboard

Friends who know about mechanical keyboard products should not be unfamiliar with the term "customization". As the name implies, a customized keyboard that is completely customized according to one's own preferences needs to be personalized from the kit, the shaft body, and the keycap. The A3 from JamesDonkey is a high-end keyboard with a Gasket structure. Degree of freedom DIY keyboard, as small as a shaft body, as large as the keyboard casing and other keyboard components, users can customize according to their needs.

Before officially sharing the product experience, let’s start with the packaging of the JamesDonkey A3 mechanical keyboard. It is not difficult to find that for a peripheral brand like Beimahu that takes the approach of people-friendly and practical, the packaging does not take the light and luxurious route, and mainly focuses on the minimalist style. In my opinion, this packaging is still mainly practical. There is also a sponge in the lining for cushioning, and the keyboard itself is also wrapped in a CPE frosted bag. The protection is still in place.

Although there is no standard plastic dust cover like some products, it is equipped with some relatively rich DIY accessories due to the customization features, such as the keyboard body, 2.4G receiver, USB-A to USB-C cable, and key pull To some extent, these accessories are indeed more abundant than those non-customized mechanical keyboards.

Going back to the main body of the keyboard itself, the one I have is the "Guiqi" color of JAMESDONKEY A3. In addition to the rose red embellishment of the keycap itself, the keyboard and the main body of the keycap also deliberately add an old-fashioned "beige" main color to match the The angular, wide-frame casing creates a retro-inspired design. However, through the eye-catching alloy round knob in the upper right corner of the keyboard and the RGB keyboard backlight feature, users will be pulled back to 2022.

JAMESDONKEY A3 adopts a two-stage foot support design to meet the preferences of different users for the tilt angle of the keyboard. In view of the relatively thick keyboard shell, it can be used with a hand rest if conditions permit, so as to relieve the user's wrist fatigue when typing for a long time.

As for the shaft body, the one in my hand is "Giadalong G Pro2.0 White Axis". Compared with Jiadalong G Pro 1.0, Jiadalong G Pro2.0 upgrades the spotlight cover, which brings stronger Excellent translucent lighting performance; and quieter rebound and stronger stability, as the name suggests, the problem of spring sound has been significantly improved, and the problem of shaft shaking has also been greatly improved.

In terms of feel, the characteristic of Jiadalong G Pro2.0 white switch is "moist". This kind of smooth linear switch body has less trigger pressure, only 38g trigger pressure and about 2mm trigger stroke, making it durable Lightweight feel without tiring hands. Users who pursue a relatively clear sense of paragraph can also consider the Gadalon G Pro2.0 silver shaft version with a higher trigger pressure. Perhaps it has features such as PC anti-vibration positioning board, EVA sound-absorbing cotton, and bottom silicone padding. This keyboard sounds a bit like the popular "Mahjong sound" today, and the listening scheme caters to the trendy preferences of many people.

At the same time, as a customized keyboard with 75% of the Gasket structure, JamesDonkey A3 can realize the hot-swappable feature of the full keyboard, including compatibility with the current mainstream three-legged and five-legged shafts, so as to cater to the players' demand for keyboards. personalized customization. In addition, the keyboard's keycaps, shaft body, upper cover, PC positioning board, positioning board silicone, interlayer cushioning cotton, PCB board, bottom cushioning silicone, and lower cover can all be modified as needed. What are you doing?

For users who pursue RGB backlighting, the keyboard also provides free definition of 16.8 million RGB lighting colors, and the relevant colors can be adjusted through the driver software. The JamesDonkey A3 mechanical keyboard has a built-in 3000mAh lithium battery. The official claims that it can bring 3~4 weeks of battery life in the state of no light. In view of the limited time I got it, it is impossible to verify whether there is any deviation in the battery life. It is known that it can be obtained through FN+B key combination to trigger the power remaining status.

In other respects, the keyboard provides three connection methods: Bluetooth, wired, and wireless, and supports Mac/Win dual systems, and can quickly switch the corresponding system key layout through a combination of keys.
