Follow this list to buy and it’s over. Which mechanical keyboards are worth buying in 618?

Hello everyone, I am Taotie

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the new year's 618 e-commerce promotion is coming again.

This year's 618 is a little different from the past. Due to the epidemic in the first half of the year, many consumers have not fully released their spending power during this period. Faced with the gradual improvement of the epidemic, the period of 618 happens to be a period of consumption. This is the golden stall where power is soaring, so various manufacturers have also spotted this opportunity and are preparing to gear up for a big battle. Of course, as a peripheral market that is already very busy, the stalls of 618 are naturally the strategic commanding heights of each brand. Therefore, I am boldly predicting a wave here. This time, the discount rate of 618 will be unprecedentedly high, exceeding expectations.

The question is, in the face of such a situation, how can consumers seize the opportunity to choose a mechanical keyboard that suits them?

OK, as an old player who has been in the pit of mechanical keyboards and customized for many years, this time I will make a list of mechanical keyboards that I think are good to use recently, and talk about them and their recommendations, hoping to give some ideas to the future. Some useful references for friends who start mechanical keyboards.

But before I start writing, I still want to answer a few questions that I am often asked.

1. How to choose the shaft body of mechanical keyboard?

For the current mechanical keyboards, the switch body has already broken the color rules of red, tea, and green, so now speaking of the switch body, it is generally only divided into linear switches and paragraph switches. Needless to say, the linear axis is straight up and down, very smooth; while the paragraph axis will have a bit of bumpiness, which is the legendary rattling sound. Of course, most of the current shaft brands have already used domestic shafts. After all, cherry’s hip pull has long been known to everyone.

What kind of shaft to choose, I think it depends on the individual, and if you have the opportunity, you should go to the physical store to try it yourself.

2. 60%, 80% or full size?

For the current keyboard, small size is becoming more and more popular. After all, "small" will bring higher appearance and more portable.

But here I still want to talk about how to choose the size, I suggest that it should be based on your own use environment. For example, I am a code writer, I don't need shortcut keys, I don't need the number area or F area, I just type, and the 60% arrangement is definitely enough for me. However, for those who need these function keys, 60% of them will definitely suffer if they buy them back, so you must determine your needs before making a move.

3. Is there a big difference between wired and wireless?

This year, it can be said that the mechanical keyboard has fully entered the era of wireless. If the new keyboard does not have a wireless function, you will be embarrassed to greet people. Is wireless really a must?

I think it is still necessary to weigh whether the increased cost due to wireless is compatible with your usage. If you buy a keyboard at home and the wireless function is not used at one time, then you can save the extra money to buy a milk tea to drink it. Isn't it fragrant? But I have to say that for office work, wireless can indeed replace wired, but in terms of games, especially those games that require high sensitivity and high response, I suggest that you still plug the cable back honestly.

4. Do you want to start or customize the entry?

Now that the mechanical keyboard is mentioned, customization is naturally an unavoidable topic. As a customization player who has been in the pit for so long, my suggestion is to treat customization as a toy rather than a tool, you know what I mean.

Compared with the mass production of mass-produced keyboards, there is no doubt that customization is more expensive. But the fun of doing it is like playing Lego, playing Gundam, riding a model airplane, and installing a host. The result is not important, and the process is over when you enjoy it.

Alright, that's a waste of a paragraph, let's start the recommendation link directly.

This Ai Stone FE series keyboard should be regarded as a frequent visitor on the recommendation list. After all, the price of 87 keys is less than 100 yuan, and what bicycle is needed.

Although this keyboard is not brilliant in appearance, other functions are still very useful. The magnetic upper cover can be transformed into a suspension structure, which is easy to clean dust; the keycap adopts two-color injection molded PBT keycaps, It has a good performance in terms of durability; in addition, the keyboard also provides a key line separation design and full-key no punching. As an entry-level mechanical keyboard, I think 100 yuan is already worth the fare.

For office use, I recommend this S200 from ikbc.

First of all, this keyboard adopts an ultra-thin design style in appearance, and the side does not look thicker than some membrane keyboards. In order to reduce the thickness, this keyboard also uses a new TTC short shaft and short keycaps to further reduce its height. Secondly, this keyboard has functions such as Bluetooth wireless connection, physical shortcut keys and dry battery power supply. As far as office work is concerned, this ikbc S200 is definitely worth the money.

Now new brands in the mechanical keyboard market are constantly emerging, among which Black Canyon should be regarded as one of the best.

I have used many keyboards from Black Canyon before, and the quality and feel are very good. First of all, in terms of the shaft, the Black Canyon X series has exclusive Kaihua’s latest BOX shaft. Compared with the previous BOX shaft, the new shaft is more stable and smooth, and the tapping feel is quite good. In terms of connection, this keyboard uses a three-mode connection, and in order to make typing more comfortable, it also comes with a large palm rest. For friends who like BOX shafts, Black Canyon should be your best choice.

In order to highlight the brand's individuality and innovation, many mass-produced brands have also begun to introduce new methods in customized keyboards. The new structure, such as the popular Gasket mount, is a new attempt.

The Coral Sea GK61 flick version adopts the same idea. Although there are some differences compared to the real Gasket, it feels quite solid to use, and the large keys are crisp and clear without any noise. At the same time, this keyboard also uses five-sided sublimation keycaps, hot-swappable bases, self-developed domestic shafts, etc. So if you are more concerned about the feel of the keyboard, this small bug GK61 flick version is worth a try.

Small-sized keyboards are becoming more and more popular now. I think this Miwu pixel PIXEL1985 is a small keyboard with good cost performance. First of all, this keyboard uses a three-mode connection, and the small size makes it easy to carry. In addition, the appearance of this keyboard is very good. The colorful multi-function keys and the white and blue pixel style really give people a fresh and playful feeling. In terms of the switch body, the keyboard uses Jiadalong G yellow pro. Friends who have played keyboards know that this switch body performs well in terms of smoothness and stability.

So looking at it, this Miwu pixel PIXEL1985 is definitely a keypad with good comprehensive capabilities.

When it comes to the brand of Royal Axe, many people, like me, may have never heard of or contacted it.

But when I played with it for a while, I found that the Royal Axe R series really surprised me. First of all, its appearance adopts a design style with a knob. Although the function is only to switch the connection mode, in this era of common public models , still has its own personality. In terms of the shaft body, the Royal Axe series adopts TTC gold powder shaft, which feels comfortable, light and smooth, and can be regarded as a relatively classic linear shaft. In addition, the keyboard also has functions such as low ball cap, three-mode connection, and multiple configurations, which are enough to meet the needs of different consumers.

If you talk about which keyboard has the best appearance among this year's mass-produced keyboards, I will definitely vote for this Dujia K330W plus, especially the ice cream color version in my hand.

Compared with the traditional black and white, this Dujia K330W PLUS adopts a more colorful blue-pink gradient color matching, and its appearance is really good-looking. In addition, two-color PBT keycaps, three-mode wireless connections, hot-swappable shafts, and classic Class 68% arrangement makes this keyboard perfect both in terms of practicality and viewing.

After all, I am also a beauty lover, and this keyboard really makes my heart beat.

Maybe some friends started to complain, you introduced that these have no RGB lighting effect?

OK, when it comes to lighting effects, I'm going to introduce a very delicate keypad with RGB lighting effects, which is the Magician from ROG. This keyboard uses the very popular 68-key arrangement of the key ring, which balances size and practicality. In terms of RGB lighting effects, you can choose from a variety of modes, and it can also be used with ROG Shenguang synchronous special effects to let your colors be released perfectly. In addition, the keyboard uses PBT keycaps, three-mode connection and simple shape design. In short, this ROG Wizards has definitely not lost the title of "The Eye of the Prodigal".

This Amilo Minilo series keyboard adopts Static capacitance V2 Iris blue switch, although many people don’t know much about electrostatic capacitance, but if you have used it once, you will know that the feel is still very unique. In addition, this keyboard also uses a hot-swappable process, which makes it more playable. In terms of layout, the keyboard adopts a custom-made common "front teeth" arrangement, and an indicator light is installed on it, which is creative. Needless to say, in terms of color matching, Amilo still has a lot of experience in color processing. The overall appearance of this keyboard is fresh and elegant, and the performance of the two-color keycaps is also delicate and soft.

So for friends who like appearance and small keyboards, this Amilo Minilo series must not be missed.

It's not Versailles. For me now, most of the mass-produced keyboards can no longer make me feel excited again. But when I saw this IQUNIX OG80 wormhole version, there was a wave of waves in my heart, and the rare excitement and surprise came back.

It can be said that the products of the big aluminum factory have been criticized by others for being invincible in the renderings, but the actual products are far behind. However, this time the IQUNIX OG80 Wormhole Edition has indeed achieved the level it should have. Whether it is the layout of the keyboard, the fully transparent shell design, or the large-angle bending of the F area, it shows that IQUNIX has indeed combined its own ideas and innovations. incorporated into the product. Although the price has indeed reached the ceiling of domestic brands, after you use it, you will find that this IQUNIX OG80 Wormhole Edition is indeed a good keyboard with excellent performance.

Well, the above is my mechanical keyboard recommendation list. I have used all the mechanical keyboards listed here, so the content described in the recommendation is absolutely true and reliable, and they are all insights after experience. Of course, in addition to the above recommendations, there are actually many good mechanical keyboards, but since I have not touched them personally, I have no idea about their actual performance, so I will not show them here.

OK, in the end, I still want to wish a friend who can find a mechanical keyboard that suits him at 618.

The above is the whole content of this article, thank you for reading!
