Speaking of customized keyboards, everyone may think that the price is very expensive. To be honest, it is difficult to enter the threshold of customization without playing the keyboard to a certain extent, from kits to switches, from keycaps to wires, and even to Arrangement design, etc., customization can bring users personalized configuration and choices. Of course, this does not mean that buying a few keyboard parts and assembling them together is considered customized. High-end customized players are extremely particular about the choice of each accessory, and even build their own....

Let’s talk about it here, in fact, for users who have not entered the threshold of customization, it would be great if they can experience the fun of customization with a small budget. Recently, Rapoo has launched such a keyboard, which can hot-swap the switch body and customize all keys. This is the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard.

The switch that matches with the Pennefather V700DIY currently offers a separate set of fast silver switches and spring white switches to choose from, while the main body of the Pennefather V700DIY has more optional switches. In addition to the above switches, there are also green switches and brown switches. select. It is believed that Rapoo will launch more separate shaft sets for users to choose soon.

The shape design of this keyboard is generally tough, with a very narrow frame and an aluminum alloy panel on the top cover. In terms of shape, it is not an exaggerated mechanical keyboard, but more like an office keyboard. However, in terms of keyboard characteristics, it is not inferior to traditional gaming keyboards at all. About this, you will know when you look down.

Items in the package: Rapoo V700DIY keyboard, cable, key puller and manual.

When I took the keyboard out of the package, the exquisite workmanship immediately attracted me. The aluminum alloy cover was polished very well, with a very slight matte texture. The brushed metal LOGO on the upper right corner is very eye-catching, and the keycaps feel The touch feels great. After carefully reading the official announcement, I realized that it is made of PBT. This material has an excellent anti-grease effect. In terms of button arrangement, it is a traditional 104-size keyboard, and the addition of a small numeric keypad makes daily office work more convenient.

There is a row of function keys in the upper right corner of the keyboard. The M key can switch between office mode and game mode. In office mode, 18 lighting effects can be switched through V1 key. In game mode, up to 19 lighting modes can be switched through V1 or driver software, and Each button can be individually set the light color. In addition, the light brightness and volume control can be quickly adjusted through the V2 key, and the function of the V3 key is a direct one-key mute switch. As for the metal scroll wheel key, it is based on the V2 key to define the function of lighting brightness or volume control.

Near the center of the front side of the keyboard is the cable connection of the USB-C port. There is no fancy design here, such as any anti-falling grooves, it is not there, the main purpose is to allow users to Choose more third-party C-mount cables.

The foot pads at the bottom of the keyboard are relatively thick. Although the feet can only be adjusted at a single angle, they are basically sufficient for most users.

Let's take a look at the switch body of the keyboard. The one I bought is the Kuaiyin switch. Rapoo is one of the very few domestic manufacturers capable of self-developed switches, and this Kuaiyin switch is their latest masterpiece. The total stroke of the fast silver axis is 4mm, the trigger stroke is 1.3±0.5mm, and the trigger pressure is 45±10gf, which is a linear axis.

As for the keycaps, the more expensive PBT two-color injection molding material is used. Personally, I prefer this kind of material keycaps. It is not easy to oil, and the touch is a little rough, but the texture and touch are believed to be good for those who have used it~ Especially for users who are prone to sweating, it is strongly recommended to try it! !

In terms of the feel of the quick silver switch, I think it is very similar to the "light" version of the red switch. First of all, it is linear, straight up and down, without paragraphs, and the rattling sound is relatively soft, and the command can be triggered easily. However, the sense of ease is simply amazing. The keycap can be triggered by sinking a little bit. I think this may be " The origin of the word "fast". Generally speaking, I think that if you are a red switch or brown switch user, it is not difficult to get started quickly with the silver switch. This kind of keyboard can bring a very smooth and silky experience whether playing games or text input.

The shaft of the Rapoo V700DIY is a universal five-pin hot-swappable shaft, which can be easily removed by using the key puller included in the accessories. If you have five-leg shafts of brands such as Goto, Jiadalong, Kaihua, and TTC on hand, they are all universal.

The game attributes of Rapoo V700DIY are not only reflected in the shaft body, as the saying goes, there is no gaming without lights~, so it will not fall naturally. The 104 keys of the Rapoo V700DIY can achieve 16.8 million color lighting effects, the brightness is moderate, and it will not be very dazzling in a dark environment. The actual viewing effect is still very good.

The customizable content is limited to keycaps, switches and cables, but it’s cost-effective!
