Good looking, good hand feel, Rapoo V700DIY customized mechanical keyboard experience

As a game player, I am naturally very keen on mechanical keyboards. Recently, I bought the customized mechanical keyboard of Rapoo V700DIY, which supports 104-key hot-swappable, full-key no-backlash, and customizable RGB lighting effects. Let’s unpack the experience today. one time.

The outer packaging is still the black + blue style of the Rapoo hardware series. In addition, 12 linear elastic white shafts independently developed by Rapoo KA-12 were randomly given away.

The entire keyboard is in pure white color, with an aluminum alloy panel, which looks clean and simple, and is more attractive than the traditional dark mechanical keyboard, and this mechanical keyboard itself adopts a standard 104-key design.

The biggest feature of Rapoo V700DIY is of course the over-the-shoulder multi-function control module on the upper right side. In addition to the 4 multi-function module buttons and the keyboard status indicator, there is also a multi-function scroll wheel on the upper right corner.

The aluminum alloy panel adds texture to the entire keyboard, and the matte-like process makes the touch feel excellent for daily use. The keyboard status indicator shows that Rapoo V700DIY has three working modes: N, C, and W. According to the instructions in the manual, The M key in the multi-function area is used to switch among the three modes, each mode can be customized through the Rapoo PC suite, and each key of this keyboard supports custom RGB colors.

In addition to the non-slip feet on the back of the keyboard, there are also feet on both sides, but the angle of the feet is relatively small, and it would be better if there are replacement multi-segment feet later.

The top of the keyboard is equipped with the current mainstream USB Type-C power supply interface, and the keys can be seen from the side with a floating design.

The biggest reason for choosing a customized mechanical keyboard that supports hot-swapping must be to establish and freely customize the playability, such as replacing your favorite custom keycaps, replacing the shaft with a better feel, etc., and Rapoo V700DIY itself is equipped with PBT two-color injection keycaps, which are astringent but not easy to oil, which is more suitable for players who love to sweat.

Rapoo V700DIY itself is equipped with Rapoo’s own linear fast silver switch body. The trigger key travel of 1.3mm is relatively quieter when it is tapped, and it is more suitable for daily office work. The 12 linear spring white switches that are randomly given are relatively shorter than the trigger key travel. Low, the feel of the two is also slightly different, the latter is more light but easy to touch by mistake, personally speaking, the former is more suitable for me.

The shaft adopts a universal five-pin hot plug, which can be removed and replaced anytime and anywhere, and the stronger versatility also means that the mainstream shafts on the market can be applied.

How can the mechanical keyboard lose the RGB lighting effect? Rapoo V700DIY supports 16.8 million RGB lighting effects, multiple color display modes, and each key supports separate social color settings. And the important thing is that the RGB lighting effect on the pure white keycap is completely different from most of the dark keycaps I have touched in the past. It is less gorgeous but a little more clean. It feels like The white chocolate is topped with a splash of color.

In my opinion, the Rapoo V700DIY has shown a very good level both in terms of design and workmanship. The metal panel and PBT keycaps add a lot to this keyboard. In terms of customized content, it may be compared with professional customized keyboards. The customizable content is only keycaps and shafts, but I think these are enough for entry-level players like me, and relatively speaking, the Rapoo V700DIY The price-performance ratio is also high enough, which is a good choice for players who are just getting started.
