Goblin Let's Play Machines Chapter 175: First Meeting and Falling in Love: Lei Kaze KW75 Customized Mechanical Keyboard Experience

This is the first time I have come into contact with a customized keyboard. Although I have heard of it before, I always feel that it is too expensive. If I really play it, I am afraid that it is no different from the burning speed of a SLR. The reason why customized keyboards are so popular is that it can customize the casing, PCB board, positioning board, backlight, shaft body, keycap and other kits, and get a completely different typing experience through different combinations. There are many kits on the market, and users can choose their favorite models independently, but the set of Leikaze KW75 in hand is very friendly to Xiaobai who has not even encountered the threshold of customization.

It is friendly for two reasons. On the one hand, it is a finished product. The Gasket structure requires high material requirements and is difficult to make, so finished kits are rare, and it can be used immediately. If you want to change the taste in the future, you can just replace it. A certain part is enough, the second is the price factor, what kind of bicycle do you need if this set is only in the early 500s? ! There are many types of models currently available. I like the Gundam model. At first it was out of stock and made me wait for a week, but now it finally arrives.

The biggest difference between customized keyboards and traditional keyboards is not only that there are many options for keycaps and shafts, but also has great advantages in terms of shape and internal structure. At present, the main structures include the hull, TOP, and Gasket, each with its own characteristics. The clear advantages of the Gasket structure are: pure sound, soft and elastic feel. .

Lei Kaze KW75’s Gundam models are full of Gundam elements in many places, not only the color of the keycaps, but also some corners of the shell. These places are only noticed by those who have really played Gundam models. Its upper right corner is an alloy knob, which can be switched to volume or RGB light brightness adjustment by clicking, which reduces the use of combination keys to a certain extent, and is very practical.

This keyboard adopts a three-mode connection method, and can even switch to MAC mode to meet the use of various platforms.

The design of the cable management slot on the back is actually not uncommon in keyboards, and it is still very useful for users with limited desktop space like us.

Two-stage support feet, rubber gaskets are added, and the wireless USB receiver also has its own position. These small designs are in place.

It may be to echo the Gundam elements. There are Japanese characters on the keycaps. I don’t understand Japanese, so I feel that they are used to add Gundam flavor than Japanese input.

Lei Kaze KW75 adopts a 75% layout, which is not much different from the 87 layout. It has no effect on daily text input. I work frequently on text input, so a small-sized keyboard may not be acceptable. up.

The reason why customized keyboards are obsessed by many enthusiasts, I think the reason is not only the "custom attributes" that can be customized from the inside to the outside, but also closely related to its internal structure. For example, the Gasket structure adopts a screwless keyboard. Or the screws are only responsible for fixing the upper and lower shells. The keyboard liner has no rigid structure and screw support. It only relies on the rubber and the precision of the upper and lower covers to be crushed in the middle of the keyboard, so the feel will be very uniform. There will be cushioning in both vertical directions to provide a softer, elastic and warmer feel. This is why "Gasket" is highly respected in the custom keyboard circle.

In terms of the selection of the shaft body, the Jiadalong G yellow shaft PRO that I started with can be disassembled, so you can completely replace other shaft bodies in the future according to your own usage habits, or even change shafts for some keys. Playability is very high.

Jiadalong G yellow axis PRO and PBT keycaps, the font of the keycaps is relatively thick, and the matching color of Gundam is very vivid.

The lighting effect of Lei Kaze KW75 is quite good, but because the font on the PBT keycap does not emit light, it is definitely not comparable to RAZER or Corsair, but for me, the characters can be seen in the dark environment ,that's enough. The brightness of the 18.6 million RGB dynamic lighting effects is not bad, and the fluency and transition effects of the marquee are also great.

On the Internet, everyone calls Jiadalong G yellow shaft PRO as "oil lubricated shaft". The shaft body is coated with lubricating oil, and there is a layer of gasket in the Gasket structure that can cause buffering between the upper and lower layers, so the overall There will be a more obvious sense of thickness, the switch body itself is a linear switch, but it is obviously not as vigorous as the cherry black switch, it is a very clear sense of feedback, the text input speed is fast, and the typing rhythm is very good. The keyboard supports full-key and non-reverse. It is difficult for me to test it in place. So far, I have not encountered accidents in typing and gaming. My case is placed by my feet, and the USB receiver is plugged into the back of the case. This distance It can be said that although it is relatively short, it is slightly blocked by the desktop, and the anti-interference ability in wireless mode is also excellent.

In the field of games, I can only be regarded as a casual player. Even if I have played LOL for more than 5 years, I only play the optional mode. I play two or three games a day, that’s all. I used to use cherry black switches, G yellow For me, the Axis PRO not only has a very low cost of adaptation, but I even think it saves a lot of energy than the Black Axis, plus it has a very special thick and moist feeling, which feels really amazing! ! !

Overall summary, I think the price-performance ratio of this customized keyboard is too high. The highlights that should be mentioned have been mentioned. I won’t go into too much detail here. I will only mention some other aspects of daily use. For example, it saves power, and I am all in wireless mode. Use, use for 6 or 7 hours a day, basically do not need to charge once a month, in addition, it can also match 3 bluetooth devices, and the combination key to switch between different platforms is also very convenient, if you are just getting started For novice users of customized keyboards, the Leikaze KW75 is very suitable for practicing hands. The price in the early 500s is also quite sincere, and it is worth planting grass! !
