Gaming Peripherals Party Gospel, Titanium K850 Color Gamer, Full-key hot-swappable 100-yuan mechanical keyboard

Due to my obsession with the table, I can say that I have "barred" with mechanical keyboards during this period of time. I have started several different mechanical keyboards one after another. Under my "drive", colleagues and friends around me have gradually changed their home/company The original membrane keyboard is replaced by a mechanical keyboard. If I want to find a comprehensive and cost-effective mechanical keyboard among these mechanical keyboards, I will definitely recommend Titanium K850. The experience it brings to me is as follows:

【造型&颜值，98键位紧凑配列，简洁的北欧风】

The Titanium K850 Caixishi keyboard has two theme colors of "black and white", and is further divided into "ABS keycap and PBT keycap" versions according to the material of the keycap. Because the mechanical keyboards in my hand are made of PBT keycaps, in order to be able to intuitively experience the combined performance of ABS material keycaps and mechanical keyboards, and also for the purpose of maximizing cost performance, I started with Titanium K850 Caixishi In the white ABS keycap version, you can get a single-mode hot-swappable RGB mechanical keyboard at a price of less than 200, which was really unimaginable in the past.

Of course, at such a price, its accessories are not too many, only "keyboard, puller cap/shaft puller, Type-C data cable" and corresponding paper manuals. You can use it right away. Titanium K850 Caishi uses a compact arrangement of 98 keys. The keycaps and key bodies of the ABS keycap version are mainly solid colors. In addition to the different keycap materials, the PBT keycap version also has two-color keycaps. Available in HD graphics.

The topic can’t be far away. Judging from the appearance of this titanium K850 Caixishi white ABS keycap version mechanical keyboard, its compact key arrangement combined with the performance of almost pure color looks simple but not monotonous, bringing a simple The Scandinavian style has a very comfortable side both in terms of visual perception and use. Compared with the 104-key arrangement, the 98-key arrangement is much more compact, but it is more suitable for the daily office and entertainment environment than the 81-key arrangement. Although the size is reduced, it only removes the restricted buttons that are not used frequently, reducing the space occupied while retaining the function.

Under the compact key layout, the status indicator light of the Titanium K850 Caishi has also been redefined, cleverly designed between the keypad and the main keypad, which does not affect the overall compact layout and also brings a direct status display.

The main material of the key body of Titanium K850 is ABS. Judging from the hands-on performance, there are no injection molding residues and burrs, and the details can still be handled. In addition, this Titanium K850 also adopts the high and low key layout and two-stage support foot design, which shows a very comfortable hand feeling when using the keyboard during the field time, and can also meet the usage habits of different heights.

The Titanium logo on the side of the front end is hidden very deeply, and there is almost no sense of presence when facing it directly. It needs to be found at a specific angle of light; for this, I can only say that Titanium is really too low-key, and other brands I can't wait to let people know about my titanium eyes.

Let’s take a look at the back. The back of Titanium K850 is not flat, but has a certain three-dimensional shape. The combination of two-stage support feet + non-slip foot pads on both sides has good stability; , The top of the back adopts a three-way wiring design, which is convenient for users to use different wiring needs. This is no problem.

In addition to the smooth feel, it also has a lifespan of 50 million times. It is not easy to understand intuitively in words, so it is not difficult to understand its performance by comparing the data of the common universal tea switch with a trigger force of 55g, a bottoming pressure of 55g, and a total stroke of 4mm. The triggering force of the red switch of the mecha is "gentle" than that of the brown switch, but the bottoming pressure is a little higher; that is to say, its initial feedback is lighter than that of the brown switch, and the sense of paragraph is similar between the two, but the mech The softness after the red axis reduces the trigger force brings a smoother side.
