Ever heard of the Gasket structure? Come and experience it—Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard evaluation experience

Hello everyone, I am Taotie

The current mechanical keyboard market is in a period of alternation between new and old brands. The previous major peripheral manufacturers may have been constrained by their large size and slow transformation. When the change came, they did not keep up with the pace of the market in time. Instead, some Emerging small brands are small in size and easy to control, so they can better grasp the pain points of current consumers and launch suitable products according to fashion trends. I think this is also one of the reasons why new domestic brands continue to emerge.

Among these domestic brands, Black Canyon has always been one of the excellent peripheral manufacturers in my opinion. One is that the title of Kaihua's "pro-son" allows him to give priority to touching a more high-quality shaft body, which has a strong guarantee in terms of feel. The second is that Black Canyon has been advancing and innovating. For example, the previously launched X series and Taotie and Elf-themed keyboards have performed well in terms of appearance design, appearance control, and user experience.

Now that innovation is mentioned, we have to talk about the most popular Gasket mount on the key ring. Compared with the traditional structure, the Gasket structure suspends the inner tank through the positioning plate spring, and adds a softer foam material, so You will get a softer and more comfortable feel on the percussion. In order to allow more consumers to experience the charm of the Gasket structure, this time Black Canyon launched the Y series of products, which are characterized by the use of the Gasket structure in all series, coupled with Kaihua's latest BOX shaft body, the feel configuration should be true full. Of course, in addition to the shaft and structure, this keyboard also has three-mode connections, PBT keycaps, RGB lighting effects, dual-system compatibility, and a wide hand rest.

OK, the introduction is almost done, let's take a look at the actual performance of this Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard.

The packaging of this Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard is very individual, with various elements injected into it, and the design is full, but the packaging will be changed to white later.

When you open the package, you can see the keyboard itself.

This time, Black Canyon Y3 has quite complete accessories, including shaft puller, key puller, dust cover, hand rest, warranty card, etc. It is worth mentioning that this time the magnetic hand rest uses hand-feel paint, so it is more skin-friendly and smooth to the touch.

In addition, there are two small cards, which are said to have a certain way of playing, and it looks like a trendy card.

The Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard in my hand has a standard 87-key layout, which is balanced between function and size.

In terms of color matching, a pure white design is adopted as a whole. The white keycap is matched with a white shell, which looks simple and simple.

In terms of shape design, it draws lessons from the very popular design style in customized kits, combining modernity and retro.

There are two circular buttons on the top of the keyboard, which are 2.4g and Bluetooth switches, and there is also a power switch on the side.

Turn it over and you can see that the bottom adopts a three-phase wire slot, which is convenient for different needs of players. In addition, the 2.4g receiver is stored at the bottom.

The foot support adopts a two-stage structure, which can adjust the keyboard angle according to the comfort of typing.

In terms of switches, this Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard uses Kaihua's latest three BOX switches, "Danxia, ​​Cangling, and Yanmo". And the axis I experienced this time is the Cangling axis, which is the feel of the green axis.

With the advancement of the shaft body from generation to generation, the current BOX shaft has optimized the overall feel compared with the previous one. Different from the hysteresis of BOX white, this Cangling switch not only has a crisp sound of snapping, snapping, snapping, but also responds quickly, rebounds with the hand, and the smoothness has been further improved.

The large key position uses a steel plate satellite shaft, and the dummy shaft is also fixed firmly without shaking, and grease is added inside.

Of course, we also need to mention the Gasket structure here. Due to the suspension of the inner tank and the combination of sound-absorbing cotton and silicone pads, the overall feel of the Y3 is softer and more elastic this time.

When pressed, the entire liner will be elastically deformed.

After adding the Gasket structure, there is no hard contact, which further improves the percussion sound and the percussion texture to a higher level.

Attach a typing sound to feel the percussion sound performance of this Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard.

In addition, this keyboard also uses Kaihua hot-swappable base, players can replace different axes according to their own needs, and the playability is higher.

In terms of keycaps, this Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard uses SA height two-color PBT keycaps, which are full of durability and appearance.

In terms of lighting effects, the keyboard adopts multiple modes of RGB lighting effects, and because the keycaps are relatively thick, it can effectively block excess light at night and avoid light pollution from irritating the eyes.

Of course, the various lighting effects will not be shown here, after all, the age of playing with lights has passed.

In terms of wireless connection, this Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard uses 2.4g, Bluetooth 5.0, and wired three-mode connection. After trying it, the connection stability is good, and Bluetooth can be switched between three devices to meet the needs of switching between different devices. need.

Through this period of use, this Black Canyon Y3 mechanical keyboard does meet my expectations for it.

The Gasket structure cooperates with the upper BOX axis to make the percussion more perfect. There is one thing to say, this feeling is difficult to describe in words, only the actual hands-on experience will feel the charm.

Of course, as a mechanical keyboard, this Black Canyon Y3 also performs very well, with 2.4g, Bluetooth 5.0, wired three-mode connection, WIN system and MAC system switching, multiple RGB lighting effects, small power display screen, and multi-segment feet. , Three-phase wiring trough, large hand rest, etc. It can be said that this keyboard is comprehensive enough, and there is no problem in meeting daily gaming and office needs.
