Customization + static capacitance = ultimate feel? Ruijiang R87 source plan electrostatic capacitive keyboard

The keyboard I have experienced the most this year is the Ruijiang R87. It is strange to say that this R87 has an extremely ordinary appearance, but you can always find new inspiration in the theme or color matching. In my words, the conclusion is that 'you can rely on your strength, but you have to fight for your appearance'. As a keyboard made of pure metal, it has a natural texture advantage compared to many large plastic keyboards. It has achieved the top level, and the choice of shaft body is TTC gold powder or ACE, which is very popular nowadays.

Limited by product positioning, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in quality. In order to quickly open up the market situation, we have to work hard on the appearance of the keyboard, so many personalized theme versions have been launched in such a short period of time. This kind of other mass-produced peripherals The outdated personality-themed gameplay played by brands has been revived by Rui Jiang.

No, this time it brings a new source plan color scheme. When Lao Liang excitedly showed me this keyboard, I was not very interested. Even though its theme and color scheme are somewhat similar to the popular cyberpunk edge walker, it still needs to be compared with the blue and white porcelain of the previous model. Much less. Lao Liang probably saw that I was not very interested, so he added, 'This is an electrostatic capacitor'. Static capacity? Static Capacitor! I can't sleep after hearing this sentence.

At any rate, this Ruijiang R87 is also a keyboard made of metal. The popular word for the key ring is "aluminum lump", and the metal surface and keycaps also adopt a new color scheme. Let's just take a look at the appearance.

The gun gray used in this source plan theme can also show a sense of metal

Just like the cyberpunk edge walker, the special keycap color matching is very rare, and the color collision is the main one. There are really no keycaps that can highlight the theme. As for whether it looks good or not, it is a matter of opinion.

I have to say that the delicate metallic luster on the surface of the R87 is really poisonous, and this kind of texture cannot be given by other large plastic keyboards. In addition, another major feature of the metal body is "stability". In addition to being particularly solid when placed on a table, it also feels more stable in the hand.

The simple lines can highlight the unique texture of the metal, and at the same time, it is in sharp contrast with the current "cute" round style. If the keyboard needs to be divided by the crowd, then this keyboard will definitely be classified as the "straight man". Team.

The Smart Artisan metal nameplate on the side is also replaced with the traditional Ruijiang brand

Type-c connector

Metal's 'excellent' shielding effect on wireless signals prevents many aluminum keyboards from connecting wirelessly. No sense.

However, this also gave birth to the birth of another type of product - the aviation plug-in cable. Since the wire cannot be discarded, the wire should be made to look better. Basically, all peripheral players will prepare one or two. Good looking and easy to use.

Feel the charm from metal

Except for the red metal chamfering and trimming added to the inner frame, this source plan version is basically the same as other versions of Ruijiang R87.

After taking off the keycap, the red cut edge is more obvious, and it also reveals the brand new electrostatic capacitor body.

This Ruijiang R87 is planned to be equipped with a Lichi solution electrostatic capacitor. As far as I know, this is the only company that manufactures electrostatic capacitors in China. In the early stage, a keyboard equipped with this electrostatic capacitor has been launched, and the feel and quality are also improved. I got good reviews, at least at the moment when the full name of the customized axis body is popularized, I can still fight back and forth with them.

In appearance, this electrostatic capacitor switch of Lichi is basically the same as the traditional MX switch. The advantage is that it can be perfectly compatible with various keycaps. The disadvantage is that it lacks the taste of faith in static capacitors.

After taking it apart, you can see that the internal structure of the shaft body is no different from that of the traditional shaft body. Its core lies in the metal shrapnel used for triggering. Unlike the metal contacts of the MX shaft, this electrostatic capacitance shaft of Lichi uses a Two capacitors, the conduction trigger is realized through the change of capacitance.

The hot-swappable structure is still adopted, and the ordinary MX axis body can also be plugged in, but it cannot be used normally after plugging in, and there will be occasional failures, which are mainly caused by the different trigger judgments of the main control chip.

There is nothing to say about the feel of this electrostatic capacitor. Relying on the solid foundation of Ruijiang R87, the final feel is still the perfect embodiment of the word solid. Not only is the vibration of the shaft body very small when pressed, the sound of the keys is clean and crisp without noise, the adjustment of the large keys is stable and smooth, and all the keys have a high degree of uniformity, including all the keys of the large keys. Even at the moment when the full name is customized, the feel of this keyboard is still top-notch.
