Good-looking, easy to use, good price, Dareu A98 Youth Edition three-mode mechanical keyboard experience

Now there are more and more types of mechanical keyboards, and the appearance is also varied, especially the new keyboard shafts, which also make mechanical keyboards no longer limited to games. Recently I bought this Dareu A98 Youth Edition three-mode mechanical keyboard, which is a mechanical keyboard that combines games, office and home use.

The A98 Youth Edition three-mode mechanical keyboard adopts the Gasket structure, which is very friendly in terms of feel and experience. In addition, the keyboard adopts the brand-new Dream Switch/Firefly Switch, and supports full-key hot-swapping. For those who like DIY, this keyboard is also compatible with 99% of the mechanical switches on the market, and you can customize your own exclusive keyboard according to your usage habits.

The overall layout of the keyboard is relatively compact, with an appearance size of only 388*139*37mm, and retains the numeric keypad with a total of 97 keys, which is convenient for office use and does not take up too much space on the desktop. In addition, this mechanical keyboard also adopts an ergonomic design, and even the keycaps use MDA keycaps of 5 different heights, which will make the experience more comfortable.

On the back of the mechanical keyboard, two adjustable feet are added to adjust the angle of the keyboard according to the usage scenario to achieve a more comfortable input experience.

In terms of details, I like the retro-style function selection switch of this mechanical keyboard very much. In addition, this mechanical keyboard takes advantage of the position between the main keyboard and the small keyboard, and also arranges 4 indicator lights. As can be seen from the selection switch and indicator light, this mechanical keyboard supports three connection modes: wireless 2.4G, wired and Bluetooth 5.1. For gaming use, wired or wireless 2.4G mode can be used, while for office use, wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth 5.1 modes can be used first.

In the upper right corner of the keyboard, the 2.4G wireless receiver of the keyboard is also hidden here. The product LOGO is printed on both the receiver and the keyboard body, and it is not easy to make mistakes if there are multiple mechanical keyboards or mice. In addition, the sunset afterglow color scheme I chose is also very high in appearance.

In terms of use, I chose the linear dream axis, and it also has a firefly axis with a stronger sense of paragraph. In addition, this mechanical keyboard also adopts a fence-type axis structure, which is soft and smooth to the touch, and the keys feel very stable. Moreover, the sound of keystrokes is quieter than that of conventional mechanical keyboards, and it will not affect colleagues for office use.

In terms of battery life, this mechanical keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, which can be used for 1 month normally, and can be used for about 1 week when the light mode is turned on. In addition, this mechanical keyboard also has a smart sleep function. If you do not operate the keyboard for a long time, it will automatically enter the sleep mode. Even if you forget to turn off the power, you don’t have to worry.

For those who like RGB lighting mode, this mechanical keyboard will not let you down, you can choose your favorite keyboard lighting mode through shortcut keys. In addition, this mechanical keyboard also supports music rhythm. When you are at home, you can play music to feel the colorful atmosphere of this keyboard.

Of course, for gamers, this mechanical keyboard can also set or customize macro functions through the driver. However, I mainly use it for office use, so I won't introduce too much about the macro definition function here.

For this Daryou A98 Youth Edition three-mode mechanical keyboard, in addition to being good-looking and easy to use, the price of 499 yuan is also very close to the people. Whether you are working, gaming or home, if you want to choose a high-value mechanical keyboard, this mechanical keyboard is still very recommended.
