Full-size RGB hot-swappable, Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard experience, Symphony customized fun

Mechanical keyboards can be said to be the best auxiliary tool for codeword workers. For this reason, I bought myself a brand new mechanical keyboard, the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard, in late spring and early summer. It supports full-size hot-swappable, and customization is popular. It is Rapoo's first 104-key full-size customized keyboard. , with more playability and convenience.

To be fair, the pure white design has a magical power no matter what time it is. No, the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard also adopts a pure white design. The keycaps are all white fast silver switches, and then matched with the silver keyboard bottom, it is full of substance. After unpacking, in addition to the keyboard, it also comes with a box of KA-12 (Rapoo white switch), two key pullers, manual and USB data cable.

There is a protruding part on the upper right of the Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard. This is because of the dorsal fin shape design, so it looks very simple and elegant. Then there is a row of buttons on the top, from left to right are the mode switch (M), the light switch button (V1), the scroll wheel mode switch button (V2), the mute button (V3) and the scroll wheel. In addition, the Rapoo logo is located above the number keys. It has to be said that the design is very good, because it will bring magical changes under the action of light. In this way, it can increase the recognition and bring fun at the same time. A little ingenuity.

Next, let’s take a closer look at the physical buttons! The first is the mode switch (M), this key can realize free switching between office mode and game mode, the initial default is office mode, and in office mode, the full key white light flashes three times, in game mode, the full key blue light flashes 3 times, it can be used to drive custom button functions and realize complex macro definition operations; the second is the light switch button (V1), one-click switching of various lighting modes; the third is the scroll wheel mode switch button (V2), and the volume can be realized with the scroll wheel It can be switched with one key to adjust the light intensity; finally, it is the mute key (V3), which can be switched between the sound and the silent world with one key. And these keys really make the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard have DIY playability.

Next is the keycap. The Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard adopts the floating ergonomic keycap arrangement, and adopts the PBT two-color injection molding process, so each keycap has the characteristics of fine particle touch and uniform light transmission. In addition, the selected silver aluminum alloy cover is matched with pure white keycaps, so the texture of the whole keyboard emerges spontaneously. Even the 104-key full-size key layout, to be honest, the 104-key keyboard is the best to use. After you get started, every button can be triggered quickly without any conflicts. The key is that the touch feels very good after tapping, and you may not be able to put it down.

Since the Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard emphasizes DIY, naturally it cannot be left behind on the keycap. The Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard is also specially equipped with a KA-12 (Rapoo white switch), the switch body of the keyboard itself is a linear fast silver switch, which is a good news for those who want to DIY the switch body ah! Of course, KA-12 (Rapoo white shaft) needs to be purchased additionally. Then a box of KA-12 (Rapoo white switches) contains 12 switches, which are usually replaced with the keycaps that you often use, such as the letters ABCD, and the operation of replacing the switches is also very simple.

Just use the key puller to remove the keycap first, then use the key puller to insert into the upper and lower parts of the shaft body and take it out, then put the shaft body to be replaced, and hear a crisp sound After that, it means that the shaft has been changed successfully, and finally the keycap is installed, and it can be used normally. How about it, is it super simple to change the axle independently, and you can do it yourself.

As for the difference between the quick silver axis and the spring white axis, the former rebounds sensitively and strikes calmly, while the latter is faster and lighter, and triggers quickly. The echoes between the two are almost the same, but I personally think that the sound from the Kuai Yin shaft will be smaller, and now I also prefer the shaft with a relatively quieter sound, because it will be quieter when coding. Of course, playing the white axis may be more suitable for playing games. After all, playing games is about being fast, accurate and ruthless!

The surprising thing about the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard is that it can also DIY the lighting. In the office mode, you can switch 18 lighting modes through the V1 key, such as breathing mode, blooming flowers, etc.; when in the game mode , can switch between 19 lighting modes, and can further set personalized lighting operations through the driver software, and even provide three groups of custom backlight operation modes, which can be realized through Fn+~, etc., and remember that it can only be used in game mode.

Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard This keyboard has a driver, but you need to go to the official website to download it in advance, and then you can use it after connecting it. The entire page includes configuration settings, key settings, lighting settings, macro editing, etc., as well as supporting drivers and Firmware update. Therefore, the last DIY for the Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard is to set the configuration, buttons, lights and macros through the driver software, which can be set according to personal habits.

What is more considerate is that the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard adopts a separate key line design, the line length is about 1.5m, and it can be connected at any time if you want to use it at any time, and the interface has anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance, which can maintain stable transmission for a long time and has a long service life. . In addition, there are silicone feet and non-slip stickers on the back of the keyboard, so you don’t need to worry about sliding when coding, and it’s guaranteed to be stable!
