Full transparent shell Gasket three-mode RGB75 keyboard: Walking cat ZT82 hands-on evaluation

The reason why I personally buy the Manmao ZT82 mechanical keyboard kit may also be the reason why many people choose it: it is a mechanical keyboard kit with a fully transparent shell. The advantage of this appearance is that it can be matched with dark or light-colored keycaps casually. It's all coordinated. Also very suitable for female users.

Personally, I don't have a keyboard with less than 98 key positions, and the design and configuration of this keyboard caught my eye, so I bought it.

I often see sellers showing various mechanical keyboard keycaps on the Internet, and found that no matter what style, dark or light-colored keycaps use a fully transparent shell, with a rounded corner design of 75 or 68 matching keyboard kits As a display stand.

Of course, the most well-known fully transparent keyboard on the market looks good and has good performance, but the price is more than 1,000 yuan.

The Walking Cat ZT82 offers another option.

Note that the original keyboard cable is white, but I use black

Let’s take a brief look at the performance specifications of the Momomao ZT82:

Fully transparent rounded corner shell, Gasket shock-absorbing structure, hot-swappable, three-mode connection, RGB backlight, separate keys and wires, all keys without redundancies, 75 arrangements with a total of 82 keys, and a battery of 3000 mAh. It can be said that it has everything it should have.

Accessories: charging cable, integrated shaft and key puller, and cleaning brush. Of course there are instructions and warranty card.

Let’s talk about this fully transparent shell first. The edge is a rounded design with a large radian. The upper and lower covers are connected together by the screws on the edge to clamp the positioning plate. In other words, it can be disassembled by removing the screws, so if someone wants to make further modifications, he doesn't have to worry about breaking the buckle or something, which is more convenient.

Of course, according to the official introduction, a lot of filling has been done. The positioning plate is made of PC material, using a silicone bottom cotton and a silicone sandwich shaft pad. Anyway, I think this effect is already ok.

The fully transparent shell can be matched with various styles, and the keycaps of dark or light colors are very convenient.

For example, the keycap I am using now is an OEM high-level two-color PBT ball cap keycap, yes, it is called this name.

The color is gray-blue with blue, and the surface is frosted, which is not very inconsistent.

This keycap is currently very cheap, about 30, if it is stacked, it will cost more than 20.

Why did you buy this keycap before?

Because this keycap is very similar to the keycap of a brand starting with K from the character font to the color matching, I don’t know if there is any internal connection.

In addition, the transparent shell also has advantages in displaying RGB backlight. Personally, I feel that it is close to the RGB light of the keycap with transparent sides.

On the left side is the Type-C connector and the three-mode switch.

The Type-C port is on the side, so you don’t have to worry about the wire being difficult to insert due to the size or shape of the plug. It can be said to be very convenient. According to the nameplate at the bottom, it supports a maximum voltage and current of 5V850mA.

Why do you say this?

I guess many people have not noticed that the maximum voltage and current supported by many three-mode keyboards is not large, and some even only support 200mA current, so when charging, it is generally recommended to use the USB port of the computer to charge while using.

Well, ZT82, in addition to charging with a computer USB port, can use a 5V500mA charging head, which is a charging head for charging speakers, electric toothbrushes, and humidifiers.

The three-mode switching switch has a slightly stronger damping feeling. The OFF in the middle represents the priority mode, and the left and right are 2.4G wireless connection and Bluetooth mode.

On the right side of the keyboard is the 2.4G storage compartment, which is symmetrical with the Type-C port.

Why do I say storage bin?

Think about it, everyone, there are 75 series kits at the same price, 75 series keyboards around 300 yuan, and even some keyboards above 500 yuan, and even keyboards above 1,000 yuan, some of which do not have 2.4G storage compartments.

So, do these keyboard manufacturers think that users will not go out with 75 matching keyboards?

Wouldn't users feel inconvenient without a 2.4G storage compartment?

Look at the keyboard layout of the ZT82. As mentioned earlier, it has 82 keys.

The F area is divided, the sunken arrow keys, and there are three indicator lights in the middle of the letter area and the functional area on the right. From top to bottom, they are:

Capitalized indications are indicated by the letter A.

Indicates the connection mode, represented by the letter M.

Battery level indication, represented by a battery graphic.

Seeing this, you can understand that ZT82 did not imitate the keyboard layout of a thousand yuan brand, that one is a compact layout without division. Of course, each has its own advantages, not to argue.

The functional areas on the right are, from top to bottom:

The Del key is the Delete key, Home, End, Pageup, and Pagedown.

It can be said that the key position needs of ordinary people are completely covered.

Of course, some people may say that the certain function keys I need are not available, which is inconvenient.

In other words, there is no such-and-such function key on the certain keyboard, which is inconvenient.

However, in fact, keyboards with less than 104 keys generally have an instruction manual, which will tell you to realize the functions of some keys through some combination shortcut keys.

Not to mention, you can also set some buttons according to your own habits at the Fn level through the driver.

So, this is actually not a problem.

The side below the space bar has a chamfered design to prevent knocking hands, which is not bad.

However, I also noticed that some big guys said that the layout is too similar to the Red Dragon KS82 keyboard.

So, I went to see the evaluation of the Red Dragon KS82 keyboard, indeed.

All are Gasket structure, 82-key hot-swappable RGB keyboard.

The layout of the various parts of the keyboard, the location of the connectors and switches.

The most interesting thing is that there is a transparent protective film around the keyboard, and it is written on it to the effect that it is not suitable for seven-day return without reason after being torn off.

Like, so much like.

Then one keyboard and one keyboard are just like the other keyboard and the other keyboard.

But the Red Dragon KS82 is an opaque shell, only single mode.

ZT82 is a transparent tri-mode.

Here are my keyboard shafts and keycaps.

I didn't use a very good axis, 26 letters except for the three keys of WAD, I used a wine red axis.

Some people may say that there is a premium for wine red switches, but it didn't affect me anyway.

I have a coupon, and actually, it costs less than 70 cents a piece.

I chose this one mainly because I think the starting pressure of 45 grams is good, and I like the shaft with a heavier hand.

The other keys are filled with the Feibai axis of the Jun axis.

This one is cheaper, 29.9 yuan for 70 pieces, with paragraph shaft and factory profit.

By the way, the Jun axis also has a Feihong axis, which is a linear axis, and it is also at this price. It is also very affordable to fill infrequently used keys.

This collocation method is also taught by the boss, which effectively saves costs.

This typing sound, you can experience it yourself. I believe that the axis is better than mine, and it should be better than mine.

Perhaps for some enthusiasts, there is something unsatisfactory about the keyboard:

The keyboard doesn’t seem to be able to remember to turn off the backlight. Under wireless connection, I usually don’t turn on the backlight, but it seems that I can’t remember it. Every time I connect to a different device, I have to press Fn+space bar combination to turn it off manually. Maybe the official thinks it’s a pity that the keyboard doesn’t turn on the backlight ?

For this problem, I can’t save the setting of turning off the backlight even if I press Fn+Esc to initialize, I don’t know why.

At present, it supports Win and Android. Compared with a keyboard of a thousand yuan brand, that one supports Win, MAC/iOS, Android and Linux systems. But I don't have any Apple products, so it doesn't matter.

I don't know if support will be added through driver version updates in the future.

There is no knob, but I have no need for knobs, but these function keys are all there, which is very practical.

The last point is the decoration around the keyboard. Some transparent keyboards have decorative characters around them.

But for the ZT82, the side below the space bar is chamfered, so it is more difficult for you to put stickers on it.

In addition, there are very few special keycap stickers on the market, such as metal stickers. As for car stickers, the size is generally relatively large, and most of them have a height of more than 3 cm, while the side height of ZT82 is only 2.5 cm. Therefore, it is more difficult to further decorate the keyboard.

The three-mode RGB hot-swappable Gasket structure is available, and the transparent shell is convenient to match with various keycaps.

If someone is greedy for the thousand-yuan transparent shell keyboard that is very popular on the Internet, but thinks it is not worth buying, you can buy this one, and then use it with plastic theme keycaps or plastic pink theme keycaps. Not to mention that the Walking Cat ZT82 kit has a 2.4G storage compartment.

The plastic pink themed keycaps are as follows, everyone who knows:

If you choose a pink plastic theme keycap, it is indeed a spring theme.

Walking cat ZT82 kit is still worthy of the price, and the configuration is also good. After all, whether it is powerful or not is a matter of one version, and whether it is handsome or not is a matter of a lifetime.
