Digital Express Sharing Article 75: Full configuration, many highlights, Hubatu’s first three-mode mechanical keyboard is a bit interesting

In the past two years, the competition for key rings has been extremely fierce, and new and old brands have gathered together to produce new ones. From price to configuration, how can it be a "volume" word. Last year’s most aggressive Gasket structure, this year is based on independent volume knobs and LCD screens. I don’t know what it will be next year.

Recently, I bought another very distinctive mechanical keyboard, the H98 from Hubatu. This is a keyboard brand with a very low-key key ring. Although it has been established for many years, it has produced only a handful of keyboard models, and Hubatu has been making membrane keyboards before, so the H98 is its first mechanical keyboard officially released. After a few days of playing, I feel that the workmanship and configuration of this keyboard are very sincere. There are still many bright spots in the key ring market with serious homogeneity. Let me share with you here.

▼The packaging is a classic heaven and earth box, the front is a stick figure of the keyboard, and the features of double knobs + LCD screen are highlighted in full color. The quality of the box is good, very strong, I feel that the brand pays attention to the details.

▼The back of the package shows the three colors of Hubatu H98. You can see that this series has a visual style with rich colors and high saturation.

▼The accessories are unusually rich. In addition to the keyboard body, dust cover, connecting cable, key puller, manual and other conventional accessories, it also provides magnetic feet of different heights and four personalized silicone keys cap. One thing to say, the quality of this accessory is definitely at the ceiling level in mass-produced keyboards.

▼The attached data cable is also an aviation plug-in cable of the same color as the keyboard, and the details are really full. In fact, it can be seen from this pile of accessories that although Hubatu is a newcomer to the key ring, it is aimed at high-end when it enters the game.

▼The keyboard is the mainstream 96-key layout, plus the two knobs in the upper right corner, a total of 98 keys. This layout almost retains the complete functions of the full-size keyboard, and the small keyboard area is more practical for users who need to input numbers frequently. At the same time, the key layout becomes more compact, which not only reduces the occupied space but also makes the visual effect better.

▼The main body of the keyboard is mainly pink, and the border is a gradient color from pink to blue. The overall color scheme is rich and eye-catching. It should be quite attractive to girls.

▼The upper right should be the highlight of the keyboard. The golden aluminum alloy trim is full of details, CNC integrated molding + anodizing process, equipped with a 1.14-inch TFT color screen, and two independent knobs, corresponding to volume adjustment and mode switching. Rotate to adjust the volume, press to turn on mute. The knob does not use the popular aluminum alloy, but is covered with a layer of transparent plastic on the outer layer, and the pink and blue color scheme is full of cartoon flavor.

▼键盘上方有个刻意设计的圆滑过渡区域，所以键盘的宽度比实际键位区大了不少。顶部同样加入金属装饰元素，上面印刷着love & salvation（爱与救赎？），旁边则是type-c 插口。

▼From the side, the entire keyboard has a certain tilt angle, and the aluminum alloy decorative strip also extends from the front to the side, embellishing the blue frame, and the keyboard switch slider is mounted on it.

▼The bottom of the keyboard is relatively simple, the color combination of pink and blue transition, with the round metal nameplate in the middle, the overall visual experience is quite good. The magnetic tripod used by Hubatu H98 can be freely adjusted in three angles, which is enough to meet the input needs of different users.

▼Tiger Batu H98 has a lot of interesting features, such as the front pink panel is actually detachable, the panel is made of metal magnetically fixed, easy to disassemble and assemble. I estimate that the official will launch panels of different colors later to achieve a variety of color combinations. You can even throw off the top cover directly to experience the input feeling of a floating keyboard.

▼Keyboard Support 2.4G / Bluetooth / wired three connection modes , and I searched for the storage position of the receiver for 10 minutes but couldn't find it. Finally, I accidentally found the icon on the top of the keyboard, and tried to break it with my hands. Then I found that this metal decorative strip is also detachable, and it is also fixed by magnetic attraction, and the receiver is safely hidden here.

▼Keycap The material is PBT, the front font is two-color injection molding, and the side font is high-temperature silk screen printing . The contact surface of the keycap is relatively large, and the PBT composition is also sufficient, the touch is delicate, and the quality is very good. If you want to pick a thorn, the characters are opaque.

▼The keys in the large F area are keycaps similar to the height of SA, and the contact surface has a clear slope to fit the curve of the fingertips. The workmanship of the keycap is extremely good, the nozzle is smooth and smooth, and the wall thickness is also in place. In fact, Hubatu is a sub-brand of the keyboard manufacturer Fude. It is estimated that the production line of Fude is directly used, so there is no need to worry about the quality of workmanship.

▼Hubatu H98 equipped with Quick Silver Axis V2 , this is an upgraded version of the widely acclaimed Kuaiyin shaft. The new version has added the "wearing gold and silver" process, which improves the oxidation resistance and durability of the shaft body; the dust-proof side wall not only prolongs the life of the shaft body, but also allows the shaft to be covered The bite is precise and does not shake too much when struck. In terms of parameters, the new and old versions have not changed much, and the characteristics of fast triggering, fast rebound, and low pressure are still retained, which is especially suitable for gamers.

▼The upper cover of the shaft body is made of high-transparency crystal plastic injection molding, which is crystal clear and effectively improves the light projection effect. The only pity is that the keycaps are completely opaque, so the lighting effect of the keyboard mainly exists in the form of ambient lighting.

▼Tiger Batu H98 uses the mainstream Gasket Construction, 5-Pin Axle Mount , The PC positioning board, silicone layer, PCB and silicone bottom pad are precisely pressed to death in the middle of the keyboard through the rubber and the upper and lower covers. Since the internal filling is in place, and the sound from the PC positioning board itself is very small, the cavity sound of the entire keyboard is suppressed very well. The weight of the bare metal keyboard is 1480 grams. Aside from the decorative metal, one can also imagine the tightness of the keyboard's internal filling.

▼ Through the exclusive driver, you can freely adjust the light brightness, mode, etc., and you can also customize a single key

▼In the drawing board mode, you can draw or upload GIF animations by yourself, which will be displayed on the LCD screen in the upper right corner. The display quality of the TFT color screen is good, much better than that of the dot matrix or black and white display.

▼ Finally, put a few pictures. By the way, the keyboard battery is 6000mAH, which is quite powerful.

As the first real mechanical keyboard under Hubatu, the H98 is equipped with a Gasket structure + TFT color screen + physical double knobs + full-key hot-swappable + fast silver switch V2 + full-color RGB + 6000mAh battery, accessories are provided Personalized keycaps and aviation plug-in cables are added. Overall, sincerity is quite sufficient. For newcomers, it basically covers the characteristic functions of mainstream keyboards, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as "one step in place". For veterans, the H98 also has a lot of innovations, and it is definitely worth playing with.

By the way, let’s talk about the price. The keyboard has just been pre-sold on JD.com, and the starting price is 799. The price/performance ratio is still quite good. The base price of similar solutions is just over 1,000 yuan. Room starts at 1.5K. By the way, this keyboard also has rabbit switches as an option, which only appeared on the Royal Axe L98 before, and friends who want rabbit switches have another choice.

The above is the keyboard evaluation of Hubatu H98. After Yang Kang's first essay, I feel that the thinking is very poor. If there is something that has not been written, welcome friends to leave a message in the comment area.
