Fuling CMK98 marshmallow three-mode mechanical keyboard hands-on experience, typing is really addictive

For a text worker, the importance of the keyboard is self-evident, but it is quite ironic that I have dealt with the membrane keyboard for many years, especially the Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic suit at home. It has been repaired and refurbished so far, but I bought a non-branded green axis mechanical keyboard as a gift, and my daughter-in-law said, "It's too noisy". It took less than half an hour to become a child's fashionable toy.

Recently, I finally had the opportunity to experience a Fuling CMK98 marshmallow three-mode mechanical keyboard, which can be described as deeply emotional. Of course, the unpacking steps at the beginning should be done. The gray packing box is very attractive. Of course, you can also guess that I am an Apple user on the MBP at the back.

Although I have seen the product introduction before, I was still shocked after seeing the actual product... The white, pink, and blue three-color button mix looks fresh and full of excitement. A big man said that it is very "nice". There is also a transparent protective cover on the keyboard, which is usually used to prevent dust and snack residue.

Due to work reasons, I really can't stand a keyboard without a small keyboard area, and this Fuling CMK98 marshmallow keyboard has an 86-key design, but it is very compact and I like it, but the weight seems a bit out of line with portability.

The back is mainly cyan, and the long strip is guessed to be the built-in battery. After all, this is a wireless mechanical keyboard, and the four non-slip rubber strips at the bottom are highly praised.

The thickness is roughly like this, the white front and the bottom cyan are very contrasting.

This is the case with small brackets with increased opening angles.

For a wireless keyboard, it is rare to be equipped with NUM Lock, Caps Lock and Scoll Lock indicator lights. The light on the far right is the battery level, and it will only light up when the battery is almost out. It is gratifying that this keyboard has a sleep function, and it will enter standby mode if it is not used for a long time, which is very power-saving.

One of the biggest highlights of this model is that it adopts three modes, supports Bluetooth, 2.4GHz dual wireless and USB wired connections, and uses a three-speed switch to switch with one key. It can be wireless, which is the dream function of early mechanical keyboard users. If you don’t play games, the so-called delay is not worth mentioning. The USB interface is a common Type-C, which can also charge the keyboard by the way.

This is a 2.4GHz wireless transceiver, you don't need this if you use bluetooth.

Only after pulling out the keycaps did I see the white switch used in this keyboard. To be precise, it is the BOX white switch. In fact, I am also learning and selling it now.

The keycaps are fresh and flamboyant in color, and the packaging says they are made of PBT. Welcome to the keyboard masters to tell me the difference between them and sublimation keycaps.

A key puller is randomly distributed, and I feel that it takes more practice to pull out keys without trace.

Apart from the colorful keycaps, I am afraid there is nothing more exciting than RGB lights, especially at night, it is very cool. It would be great if the pattern of the keycaps can also transmit light.

As a quasi-novel in mechanical keyboards, the current understanding of mechanical keyboards may be limited to knowing the names of their axes. The specific differences and the comparison of the feel can be described as a bottle that is not half full. Of course, the deepest impression is the crisp "Kaka" ” sound, it is said that listening to this sound can be addictive when typing.

But for me, who is used to Microsoft Sculpt, using a mechanical keyboard does require a gradual adaptation, such as changing from an ergonomic keyboard to a standard keyboard, and the hand shape needs some adaptation. The second is the feel. The so-called chocolate keys used by Microsoft Sculpt, the internal X-bracket structure uses a short key stroke, but there is a sense of inexplicable paragraphs.

Although the Fuling CMK98 marshmallow keyboard has a much longer key travel, the key response seems to be a bit like Microsoft Sculpt, and the pressing force is much lighter than the previous green axis that only lived for half an hour. It can type 2000 characters in one breath. I don't feel my fingers are tired, and the rebound is very close to my hand. With the deep key cap pit, there is a feeling of unity of human keys (why does this word sound so awkward).

For an Apple user, another highlight of this keyboard is the toggle switch for macOS and Windows systems on the back. For us Apple users, this is a great benefit, but the "Win" keyboard has been used for a long time. +Shortcut keys have become a habit, and I have to get used to the original Apple keyboard key layout, but there is no icon of the command button of the Apple keyboard on the key, so I have to buy keycaps to replace it later.

There is a saying in the audio circle called "receive goods with your ears", which is the same for a keyboard, especially for people like me who are new to mechanical keyboards, comfortable fingers are the key to this Fuling CMK98 cotton candy keyboard The best affirmation, the only discomfort is that the space button is a bit "hand-wrenching", but I found a relatively perfect solution - remove the space bar and install it backwards, although it looks a bit weird, but the thumb is instantly comfortable Yes, do you want to try it?
