Digital Evaluation Part 2: An irresistible favorite, the first experience of Dareu A87 Pro mechanical keyboard

Appearance is justice. In the current era of "looking at the face", if you want to ask: which of the peripherals has the strongest performance and the most comfortable operating experience, I am afraid that there will be countless people who will stand up and speak out, but if you ask: which one? The product has the best appearance, and the Dareu A series is definitely on the list. Since its debut in 2019, it has successfully gone out of the circle with its exquisite design + high-standard hardware configuration, attracting the attention of a large number of beauty parties.

Recently, we were fortunate enough to get the Dareu A87 Pro wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard Sky Edition. The simple and stylish sky blue color matching with super high cost-effective advantages meets the needs of every user who pursues beauty. As for the performance of this product? Let's find out today.

The overall design of the Dareu A87 Pro is basically the same as the well-known A87 series keyboards, both of which adopt a full-size 87-key design, with a size of 363mm×135mm×23mm. As a mechanical keyboard with a gasket structure, Dareu A87 Pro is most commendable for its cool appearance and color matching. This keyboard has two color versions of Black King Kong and Sky Blue, and the one we got is Sky Blue.

The whole is based on the blue sky and white clouds, with the rainbow Enter button, the moon backspace button and the "Style" space button, the heartbeat value is directly full, especially in the hot summer, when used in a sweltering office environment, it can give people a more exciting feeling. Feel the cool feeling.

Since it is an 87-key mechanical keyboard, the overall key position of Dayur A87 Pro is relatively compact, and the indicator light is located above the "up, down, left, and right" direction keys. The indicator lights indicate the caps lock key, battery life status and connection mode respectively.

On the upper left side of the keyboard is a three-speed swing switch. The Dareu A87 Pro supports three modes of switching, and the upward toggle turns on the 2.4G wireless connection.

The 2.4G receiver is located on the top right side of the keyboard, which is very convenient to collect and not easy to drop. Once tuned to the appropriate gear, simply plug the receiver into the end device.

To adjust to the Bluetooth mode, the user needs to press the FN+Q key combination to start the pairing mode. As for the middle gear, that's for a USB wired connection.

The back of Dareu A87 Pro is designed with a three-way wire slot. When using the wired mode, users can freely choose the wiring method according to their usage habits and desktop layout to avoid messy wires. In terms of anti-slip, 5 anti-slip foot pads are used with a wrapped support frame. The overall anti-slip effect is quite good. Even on a smooth desktop, there is no need to worry about sliding due to large movements.

The support frame adopts a 2-stage structure, and the top is equipped with non-slip foot pads, and the stand is very tight. After the support frame is opened, the keyboard will not shake. The more user-friendly design can meet the operating habits of different user groups. For example, when I usually code, I prefer to open the second section alone, and the keyboard is slightly lifted, making my hands more comfortable.

The USB interface is located on the top of the keyboard and adopts an embedded interface, which can not only avoid bumping into the interface during daily use, resulting in poor contact, but also play a fixed role to a certain extent.

Dareu A87 Pro adopts high-purity PBT material keyboard, made of two-color injection molding process, the height is the common OEM keycap, and the surface of the keycap has a slightly frosted texture. One thing to note is that the keyboard does not have a separate function mark except for the regular mark. If you need to use a combination of keys, you need to refer to the relevant manual.

As for the shaft body, the Dareu A87 Pro full key adopts the upgraded sky shaft V3. As a linear shaft body, its trigger force is about 40g, the trigger stroke is about 2.0mm, and the total stroke is about 4.0mm. The percussion feel is similar to that of the original factory. Red axis, the trigger is lighter and the rebound is slightly stronger. The new V3 version of the sky axis has also added a fence axis, which is significantly improved in stability compared with previous versions.

The keyboard supports full-key hot-swappable functions, and is compatible with various triangular and pentagonal axes. Users with strong hands-on skills can also DIY by themselves, so I won’t make too many descriptions here.

Under each key, the Dareu A87 Pro is equipped with an independent RGB backlit LCD light. Because the keyboard is equipped with a fence-type high-toughness noise-absorbing silicone pad, the light source is more uniform. Users can adjust the color of the light effect by FN+[switch light mode, FN+], and adjust the brightness of the light by FN+up and down arrow keys.
