Entry-level mechanical keyboard is also durable, appreciation of Dimo ​​F8 mechanical keyboard

I believe that many friends have a kind of worry when shopping, worry about the premium for high prices, and fear of cutting corners for low prices. Who dares to sort by price these days and order the one with the lowest price. There are too many routines, sometimes the keycaps or other accessories are clicked, and some are other disgusting people, such as the graphics card in the girls' dormitory.

Recently, I bought a pair of mechanical keyboards in the early 500s. Note that it is a pair, not a set. Can a mechanical keyboard with an entry-level price be played? Just follow me out of the box.

When it comes to entry-level mechanical keyboards, many friends will immediately think of picking up leaks. In fact, if you occasionally see a car with a mechanical keyboard on the shopping guide platform, you can miss it at around 100. But most of them are mechanical keyboards with 87 keys and monochrome backlight. It has to be said that this is also a successful marketing method, and it is a good return for watchers who are good at getting stuck and picking up leaks.

But what I will share with you today is a set of cool 107-key gaming-style mechanical keyboard that doesn’t need to be stuck, missed or tossed – Dimo ​​F8.

The 104-key full keyboard is more friendly to 7080 and other users who use computers for a long time. In the past, the keyboards we have come into contact with are all 104 keys, so even if they are not financial personnel, many users are more accustomed to the full keyboard layout.

The main reason for the initial implementation of 87-key domestic mechanical keyboards is actually to save costs. The essence of a mechanical keyboard is composed of multiple shafts, and one shaft is essentially a switch.

For example, the price of 50 high-tech green shafts is about 26 yuan, which is about 50 cents (reference price on the Internet), while the price of cherry shafts is at least two yuan.

Another advantage of the 87-key mechanical keyboard is that it is suitable for the small desks of Internet cafes that have not been upgraded in the early days. The 87-key mechanical keyboard has fewer number keys, which can save a lot of desktop space. You know, in the early CS1.6 era, e-sports players chose to rest and put the keyboard, just to make room for the right hand to operate the gaming mouse more conveniently.

Although Dimo ​​F8 is a 104-key mechanical keyboard, it adopts a compact and simple design, which can greatly improve the utilization of desktop space.

The four borders are designed with ultra-narrow borders, which is extremely simple and more capable.

Another significant advantage of the compact design is that the shortcut keys of the gaming mouse will not be accidentally touched due to the extended metal cover.

The classic design of metal upper cover and floating keycap is used, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the keyboard.

The metal cover of Dimo ​​F8 is tinted, which is not dazzling and more attractive. The large cross-cut lines of the brushed metal on the top cover add a lot of color to the keyboard as a whole.

In terms of backlighting, a red backlight is used.

Dimo F8 red light version, the keycap is made of ABS two-color injection molding. For the F8 cherry version, PBT is used.

PBT has high heat resistance, toughness, fatigue resistance, self-lubrication, and low friction. Resistant to hot water, alkalis, acids, oils, PBT is one of the toughest engineering thermoplastic materials, it is a semi-crystalline material, has very good chemical stability, mechanical strength, electrical insulation properties and thermal stability. These materials have good stability under a wide range of environmental conditions. The wear resistance of the keycaps made of PBT is quite good, and its high wear resistance even reflects the characteristics of not oiling for a long time on the keyboard, which has also been loved by many senior players. With such a strong hardness, it will be slightly harder in terms of hand feeling, but when the pattern is infected, the color reproduction is high and the color is not easy to fade. Its inherent light color is more suitable for the processing of white and other keyboards. Friends who like light-colored mechanical keyboards can pay more attention.

In terms of the axis body, the F8 red light version uses an optical axis, which has a lifespan of 100 million times and a response speed of 0.2ms. It not only has a longer lifespan and faster speed, but also has better waterproof and dustproof performance.

In terms of hand feel, it is similar to the classic MX blue switch, which has a clear sense of paragraph, but the pressure and noise are much lower. When entering a large amount of text, the wrist is not so tired.

Dimo F8 adopts the design of six rows of keycaps with four levels of height, which presents an arc shape as a whole, so as to fit the physiological signs of the human body.

The bottom cover is made of non-metallic material, the classic two-stage height adjustment and large area non-slip floor pads, but the diamond-shaped texture is added, which can be regarded as a small art.

According to the naming method of a technology company, Dimo ​​F8 Red Light Edition should be called F8 Youth Edition, that is to say, it has changed the optical axis and simplified the backlight from the mature design of the original F8 Cherry Edition.

For friends who are looking for entry-level mechanical keyboards, this high-end product with reduced configuration is more cost-effective.
