Dry goods sharing Part 96: Double 12 keyboard purchase ideas and list recommendation 丨 Goodbye in 2023

Work so hard, reward yourself with a better keyboard.

It’s the annual final consumer battle again, the last chance to change keyboards this year on Double 12, if you want to change keyboards, seize the opportunity!

The picture below is the keyboard I bought last year when I summed it up at the beginning of the year. This year, I have doubled the number.

The keyboard industry is more flexible than the mouse, no matter the brand, price range, style, or shape, it is more difficult to choose.

However, keyboards are greatly improved for office work or games, and high-end mice can only feel the advantages when playing games. Therefore, whether it can be launched or not, buying a good keyboard is more cost-effective than buying a good mouse! !

Below RMB 300

Entry-level mechanical keyboards are suitable for players who have a low budget and want to experience mechanical keyboards. I would not recommend buying them before, but in recent years, the popularity of domestic switches and the decentralization of high-end keyboard accessories, such as PBT keycaps, Gasket structure, etc., 300 Yuannei keyboard also has a very good feel.

300-500 yuan

The mid-range keyboard is a battleground for military strategists, and it is also the cheapest price. It used to be very embarrassing at this price. The most popular Cherry G80-3000 is almost there. You must know that there were no mechanical keyboard players who didn’t have a G80. Now domestic brands can buy it at this price. For mid-to-high-end models, I also highly recommend buying a keyboard at this price.

500-1000 yuan

Players who are willing to pay 500 yuan to buy a keyboard believe that they have high requirements for the feel, material, and brand. The flagship models of most brands are set at this price. At this price, almost all types of switches can be selected, including e-sports brands. The optical axis, the pursuit of experience can choose this price.

More than 1000 yuan

There are not many choices for mass-produced keyboards above 1,000 yuan. They are all top flagship models of old popular brands, and there are also some domestic emerging brands. Keyboards at this price have the strongest configurations and are the leading products of each brand. Of course, the sales volume will definitely not keep up with the running Quantity, high budget can be selected.

Keyboard brands emerge in endlessly. The keyboard category itself has the conditions to be rolled. The core key switches are produced by professional brands. The casing, shape design, and small details can be continuously improved, and the customization circle is very developed. Compared with the mouse and keyboard There is more playability, so some emerging brands take off quickly, and traditional brands will soon lose their money.

traditional keyboard brand

Most of the high-end models of traditional keyboard brands are e-sports styles, with exaggerated shapes and lighting. ROG, Razer, CORSAIR, Logitech, and SteelSeries are all brands that have worked hard for many years, and their brand acceptance in the e-sports circle is very high. , plus the light switches and short switches that have emerged in the past few years, each company has released all their strengths, just to make the keyboard more expensive and further increase the price of the flagship keyboard. Brands such as Cherry, FILCO, and Leopold, whose selling points are exquisiteness and feel, are really not doing well now. Cherry’s high-end models are transformed into e-sports. FILCO and Leopold still mainly use cherry shafts for so many years, and the price increases every year. Price, only feelings can support players to continue to buy.

For traditional keyboard brands, my buying advice is that if you have a special preference for a certain brand and like to play games or lights, you can choose ROG, CORSAIR, Razer, Logitech, Cherry, and FILCO, which is exquisite and not bad for money. Leopold is a good choice for you.

Emerging keyboard brand

The patent period of the cherry switch has expired, and with the development of customization, domestic brands have become very popular in recent years. The advantages of customized keyboards have been transferred to mass-produced keyboards. There are endless domestic switches, which are affordable and feel good. Games and offices can be controlled, and there are many choices. The fashionable Gasket structure last year, the fashionable knob in the first half of this year, and the fashionable transparent keyboard in the second half of the year. If you don’t have a preference for certain brands, try domestic brands, and you will definitely fall in love with them. of.

Be sure to try domestic brand keyboards. The feel, design, and workmanship are all very good, and you can experience the powerful advantages of customization at low cost.

Class representative subjective recommendation summary: I like to choose tea, otherwise I choose silver and red, and the number of acrylics is less than 45. People who make domestic axes TTC, Jiadalong, and Kaihua can choose without thinking. Except for tea and cherry axes Silver is not recommended.

Whether it is a sense of paragraph, the number of grams of acrylic, the sense of paragraph is that there is a feeling of stuttering in the process of pressing the button, because of the internal mechanism, some of the shafts of the paragraph sense are relatively loud, and they are collectively referred to as green-like switches, and some of them are small. It is a tea-like axis, the one without a sense of paragraph is called a linear axis, and there is also an advanced paragraph axis, which is not very popular at present.

Cyanoid axis , there is a "cracking" sound, a strong sense of paragraph, and smooth typing. It is the representative axis of the mechanical keyboard. I like to use it for the first time, and it will greatly affect the people around me. Even if I use it for a long time, I may get tired. It is not suitable for many people. In addition to cherries, Kaihua BOX, Jiadalong G Green, and Kaihua BOX jellyfish are all blue-like. BOX White has a very high status in green, and many bigwigs recommend it.

tea axis , The tea switch has a sense of paragraph, but the sound is much smaller than that of the class green. It can be used in office and games. It is suitable for players who like the sense of paragraph but do not want a loud sound. I personally recommend the tea switch for office use, because the trigger of the general tea switch The key travel is relatively long, and the response is a little slower than red and black, but tea is also a good switch, especially cherry tea. At present, only tea switches can be used for cherries.

red axis , the red switch used to be my most recommended switch. It has no paragraphs, moderate weight, and the sound is average. Although it doesn’t have a particularly strong mechanical feeling when tapped, the most important thing with a mechanical keyboard is good rebound. The red switch responds quickly. The game switch is a selling point. The red switches of each company are popular switches of the brand. TTC gold powder, Kaihua BOX red, Jiadalong G red, cherry mute red and ordinary red are widely used in popular keyboards on the market. On the other hand, choosing red should be a choice that is not easy to make mistakes.

class black axis , the black switch is the heavier version of the red switch. When the red switch was not launched in 2008, the black switch was a special switch for games. Typing is too heavy, and it will be a bit tiring to work for a long time. Nowadays, the large gram number switch is often used in large keys to avoid mistakes. If you touch it, it is not recommended for players to buy it if it is black.

silver axis , the silver switch was launched in 2016. It is the youngest and one of the most widely used switches of Cherry. The silver switch is triggered quickly and the pressure is lighter than the red switch. It can be used in games and office work. You can get used to it quickly without adapting. From the silver switch It can also be seen that the number of light grams without paragraphs is also the trend of key switches in the future. Friends who don’t know how to choose can usually choose popular ones. TTC Kuaiyin and Jiadalong G Silver are the switches I use most. I will buy them in the future. I will continue to buy these two switches for keyboards. They are also suitable for smooth typing and games. The only problem is that the large keys are too light. However, many large keys in domestic keyboards now have separate heavy-pressure switches. It is also okay to replace the thumb, the main space is the space, and the thumb is placed on the space, which is easy to touch by mistake.

Optical axis, optical axis is generally used on high-end gaming keyboards. From the aspect of mechanical structure, it has the advantages of no wear, fast response, and long life. Its signal transmission has almost no loss, and it is extremely suitable for playing games.

The material of the keycap

The keycap is something we are in direct contact with the keyboard. Its material and surface treatment directly affect the feel of the touch. A few years ago, high-end keyboards used PBT, and ABS was considered cheap. It became popular again. In fact, these three types are plastics with different characteristics, and the price difference of the materials themselves is not big.

What you need to pay attention to when purchasing is that the surface of PBT has a matte touch, while ABS and PC are both translucent and smooth. The former is not easy to wear and can maintain the feel for a long time.

The craft of the keycap

From the lettering point of view, it is divided into front engraving, side engraving, and no engraving. They distinguish the position of the printing. The side engraving is common on Filco ninjas, which can avoid long-term wear and tear on the letters, and the front looks cleaner. There is no difference in actual use. , No lettering is no difference to veterans, but novices may misuse, especially the symbol keys.

From the perspective of character processing technology, two-color molding is more expensive. Combining two-color plastics together, the color does not fade and has a long life. Sublimation is processed through solid resin ink, which is wear-resistant and not easy to fade. Both of these are relatively advanced. , if it is not mentioned separately, it is ordinary ink printing.

From the height of the keycaps, the height of the original factory is the height of the keycaps of the cherry, the OEM is slightly higher than the cherry, the SA is a ball cap, which is relatively tall and has a cute appearance, and the XDA is a flat chest, which usually appears on cheap keyboards. It is recommended not to choose it.

Arrangement

The layout of the keyboard is the layout of the keys. The full keyboard has four areas. In addition to the main keypad, the work also needs a number keypad. The biggest impact on us is whether there is a number keypad.

The full keyboard in the picture below is called 104, and it is also our most common keyboard shape. The advantage is that it is not easy to accidentally touch, and several areas are far away. The disadvantage is that it takes up too much space. The editing area and number area on the right will affect the mouse activity. range, so this keyboard is more suitable for office use, 108 is to add 4 additional multimedia keys on top of the number keys.

92 or 96 keys are my most recommended arrangement , was first launched by Leopard, and after the 20-year patent period, many brands have done it. He inserted the editing area into the keyboard, deleted the useless keys, and kept the small keyboard to make the fake disk more Compact without losing functionality.

The 87 key is an earlier arrangement style , it looks a bit outdated now, he just simply eliminated the number keypad, which occupies a small area, but the editing area still takes up a lot of space.

82 or 76 keys are more fashionable keys in recent years , Compared with 92 and 96, the number area is completely removed. If you don’t need number keys, or pure gamers, this arrangement is more suitable. Compared with 87, it is more compact and looks more beautiful.

The 61 key is to sacrifice all other redundant areas for the sake of appearance, and only keep the main key area. This arrangement is especially suitable for game players. It saves space and is compact. 61 keyboards appear more in customization, and the shapes are very good-looking.

Recommended several, in no particular order

Yufu has become very popular in the past two years. Its selling point is the cost-effective customized style keyboard. It is very fast in catching up with the hot spots. From the gasket and the knob to the current screen, what to do, what to do, the current hot three series, namely R, Y, L.

The R series mainly focuses on three conventional shapes, including three configurations of 108, 100, 87, and 68. These four configurations include all the current popular configurations. The whole series of TTC gold powder shafts, this shaft costs 350 yuan for 100 pieces. His family The keyboard only costs 500 yuan, and the price of the TTC gold powder switch has been brought down by myself. Coupled with the gasket structure and excellent design, it is nothing to say that it is the king of cost-effective keyboards.

I choose the R108 full keyboard. I usually choose the largest keyboard or 98 with spacer. These two arrangements are my favorite.

The workmanship and configuration of his keyboard are very good. The disadvantage is that the R series only has gold powder, which I personally think is a bit light.

Both L and Y are products launched this year. Y focuses on physical switches. There are two types of switches, TTC Quick Silver and Gold Powder. There are 68, 87, and 98 switches. Arbor body, there are 75 and 98 shaft bodies. The design language of these two keyboards is similar, and the wire is also designed as a telephone line. It really produces all the variables of the customized style, but in terms of cost performance, Y is more cost-effective, especially Personally, I like Kuaiyin the most. It has a soft elastic feel and the number of acrylics is also suitable.

L is a little more expensive, but the screen and the new switch are also a bit different from the old model.

Xingui is an old domestic peripheral brand. He is one of the first brands to use domestic switches. His keyboard was first popular in Internet cafes. Its selling point is its high cost performance and high appearance. In recent years, it has begun to take the mid-to-high-end route, especially after catching up with The wave of customized styles, I personally think that the most important step for his family to enter a high-end brand is to create a sub-brand. After all, the image of upstarts in us is cost-effective styles. The GM980 and 780 launched by his family this year are my favorite. The keyboard, in addition to the bold shape, feels really good.

This black GM980 uses the hot transparent PC keycaps in the second half of the year. The all-black shape is a little low-key.

GM980 is one of the keyboards I recommend the most. At first I rejected the yellow color. In fact, it is very eye-catching on the table, and it is not very exaggerated. I am completely familiar with the 98 layout. There is a distance from the number keys, and it is not easy to accidentally touch it. The Gasket structure makes this keyboard very textured. The measured sound is as follows.

I’ve been staying at home for the past few months, and I use this model for all desks. It has been adapted to me in all aspects, and the work efficiency is also very high.

The workmanship and texture of the actual product are not inferior to the first-line brands. GM980 is quite heavy, which is also the result of solid internal materials. The transparent shell can observe the internal structure. Not only is there cushioning rubber under the PCB, but there are rubber blocks around it to further enhance the percussion feel.

Dareu used to be the top Internet cafe, and wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Internet cafe. The quality is good and the price is cheap. Dareu can also be regarded as one of the veterans at home and abroad. It used to be the only designated keyboard and mouse in the WCG China competition area. After so many years In the past two days, Daryou has also been on the fast track of custom-style keyboards, and launched its own brand of switches, which have received rave reviews from the player community.

I have exposed the Dareu A87 before, the feel adjustment is very good, the sky axis V3 has a particularly good percussion texture, this keyboard does not have a small keypad, and the design is not compact enough, but many players also like this traditional configuration, only the feel If so, I give him 8 points.

The details and workmanship of this keyboard are in place. I have to say that Daryu’s adjustments are particularly in line with my preferences, but the appearance of several new keyboards of his family is not wild enough. The characteristics of their own brand are not obvious, but the sales volume is not bad, and the strength of the old brand is still the same. Still, not all companies are willing to make their own brand shafts, and they have been upgraded to V4 one after another, which is quite bold for a brand.

This newly launched A98Pro is the best-selling A98 of his family. It uses the latest Sky Switch V4 of Dareu, which increases the trigger force of 5g. In the short term, the keyboard does not need to be burned. It is a small premium to bring a screen, but it does not affect that it is currently the best keyboard in Dareu. A friend said before that only Dareu can make mahjong sounds in mass-produced keyboards...

Amilo should be the only domestic keyboard brand that can compete with brands like Big F. Compared with other domestic brands, Amilo’s biggest advantage is the self-developed electrostatic capacitor and keyboard design. His popular keyboards are mainly based on The national style is the main style, and the printing is exquisite and beautiful. Each style has a story, and it is very ceremonial from unpacking to use.

As a 65% keyboard, Minilo has reduced the F area and the small keyboard area. It is suitable for both tabletops and gamers. These two colors are gentle Morandi style, and can be used by both men and women. This keyboard has a total of Twelve axes to meet all the needs of players.

In fact, I also resisted the national style keyboard at first. If I don’t play the RGB style, the national style keyboard is actually very beautiful. Amilo is really not cheap, but the workmanship is really good. The coating of the keycaps and keyboard is quite delicate, and the color matching It’s also about aesthetics. You can go to the link below to see the official picture of this Wenhe, which is exactly the same as the real thing, and the keycap pattern is great.

ROG, as the current e-sports royal family, also has a lot of explosive models in the field of keyboards. The first element of e-sports keyboards is lighting. How can I say that ROG understands the hearts of players, almost all of its keyboards have lights, and the whole family bucket supports them. Altron software, in addition, such as increased Ctrl, long battery life, multimedia control, palm rest, etc., are available on more than 800 rangers. In the eyes of e-sports players, this keyboard can be regarded as the most cost-effective gaming keyboard within 1,000 yuan.

In addition, ROG's own NX axis and RX axis are manufactured by Kaihua. Kaihua is one of the best-known domestic axis brands. The feel and feedback of NX and RX in the game are top-notch, but compared to other For the customized keyboards whose hand feel is the selling point, there are still some spring sounds. After all, the keyboard design cannot fill more cushioning structures inside, but overall, compared with Yusanjia keyboards at the same price, this one can still Ranked first and second.

The wizard may be the ceiling of the gaming keypad, with 65% arrangement, small and practical, and a touch bar on the side, which can realize volume control, display brightness control, etc., and the equipped shell can be used as the upper cover or the bottom tray. The lighting of this keyboard is particularly in place, and the simple design makes it one of ROG’s best-selling keyboards. ROG’s keyboard styles are not many, and this small keyboard is the most worth buying.

IQUNIX was the first to make aluminum accessories for Apple. Its keyboards have been made of aluminum shells for a long time. They are all hot models, from last year's popular 80 series, to the full keyboard F97, to the latest ZX75, each model is classic, the product line is simple, and various joint colors meet the aesthetics of players with different preferences.

F97 has been launched for a while, so far there are eleven colors, this graffiti diary uses a red bottom case, all the keycaps are specially designed, the style is cute, and there are additional special graffiti style keycaps, PBT heating and sublimation makes the pattern colorful and durable. It is suitable for MAC system. Cherry and TTC are optional for the shaft body, and the word-of-mouth shaft body is covered. There are also RGB and matte options. The three-mode plus 4000mAh guarantees battery life.

I have used my own roaming guide for a long time. The full keyboard configuration is very practical for players with daily office needs. This TTC silver is my favorite. The curved design of the keyboard and the keycaps match just right.

The OG80, as last year’s hot model, has a good feel and good light effect. Many brands have launched full-transparent keyboards this year. IQUNIX has already played with it last year. I switched from the cherry switch to the TTC OG80. The feel is amazing at first use. So far, this keyboard is still launching new color schemes, which shows its success.

Last year's OG80 may have led the fashion of transparent keyboards, and the effect of RGB and transparent shells at night is really good.

The latest ZX75 is also very beautiful. Compared with the 80, it has reduced a few editing keys, and made a space between the arrow keys. It is not easy to press the wrong one when you first use it. It is equipped with a knob, and the battery is 6000mAh. Compared with the 80, it is more restrained. .

Miwu is a company under Xiaomi’s ecological chain that specializes in peripheral accessories. It is said that Xiaomi’s keyboard and mouse are also OEMs. The simple explanation of their products is that they have the simplicity of Xiaomi and the feel of a customized keyboard. , His mechanical keyboard is divided into two series, one is POP for business, and the other is ART with contrasting color design.

Z680C belongs to the POP series, which focuses on cost-effectiveness. At the current price of 199, you can get Jiadalong shaft body, compact physical switch, three-mode and supports WIN/MAC switching, and the appearance design is online. This daily office is very cost-effective.

The Pixel belongs to the ART series. The keycaps are in the style of Famicom Mario. The color design is cute and the shape is also good. Compared with the Z680C, the PBT sublimation keycaps are upgraded. The Jiadalong G Yellow Pro also has a cushioning structure similar to Gasket. Knocking is more like a customized keyboard.

The Z830 also belongs to the ART series, and the color matching also uses the feeling of the NES red and white machine in the past. The two-color design is simple and cute. This model adds an F area, and the editing area, arrow keys and main key areas are distinguished. The wireless, MAC switching, and power switches are all physical buttons, which are more practical.

The trend of transparent keyboards blowing in the second half of this year, this wave of Miwu is catching up with the heat. BLACKIO was launched on Double 11, but subject to the exclusive restriction of Xiaomi public testing, it can only be purchased on the Xiaomi Youpin platform at present. This may be At present, the ceiling of the fully transparent mass-produced keyboard, Kaihua jellyfish switch (more than 3 pieces per piece), Gasket structure, transparent shell and PC keycap, plus electroplated metal texture, this keyboard should be invincible in the black transparent style, Coupled with the simple full keyboard configuration of 98, JD should still be popular after it is put on the shelves.

The brand tonality of Dujia is like a good student in the key circle. The previous product line is very simple, and all series use cherry switches. K330 and K320 are all male model keyboards. Fusion is the most brand-specific style. , the whole line of products is not very e-sports, but it gives users a sense of practicality and ease of use. Dujia relies on the silver axis of the cherry, which is well received in the player circle. keyboard ring.

The latest Hi Keys, 84 with white light, the shape is not exaggerated. Starting from K620, Dujia began to use domestic shafts, and the feel has been further improved. This is also a customized Kaihua Turbo shaft, which feels smooth. Spring There are few sounds, and the current inwardly rolled key rings are not ranked first, but they are also worthy of the price.

If you don’t pursue e-sports style, K620 is more worth recommending. It’s not stated clearly. It’s actually a Gasket structure, and it’s a big leap forward for Dujia, but they don’t recommend it too much. Both colors are very good-looking, and the texture is good. Also very comfortable.

Keychron is a brand that became popular abroad and started to sell in China. The marketing of his boss is really good. His keyboard has all the popular elements in the past two years, such as aluminum lumps, knobs, and Gasket. Although the price is expensive, but The hardware configuration is still acceptable. Compared with many high-priced configurations and some old-fashioned keyboards, it is much better.
