Hands-on experience of Beijing-made K8 metal red switch mechanical keyboard

Catch up with a wave of activities with a paid price of 290 yuan, and place an order to experience it.

Jingdong’s package packaging has always been unpredictable. A plastic bag wrapped in the original packaging of the keyboard was delivered. When the order was placed, the local area was out of stock, so it was sent from Shenyang to Jiangsu in a hurry. Inevitably, something broke.

Peel off the sealing film to reveal the imperfect carton.

Fortunately, there is not much damage, and the workmanship of the box is OK, and it has no effect on the contents.

Next, look at the keyboard itself.

The color is quite low-key and connotative. The production date is August 21. It seems that it is not very easy to sell in the areas around Shenyang. The box comes with a data cable, a replacement keycap, a tool for changing the keycap, instructions for the two versions, and a certificate of conformity.

Comparing the size with the mouse, the 87-key size is really pleasing, and there is an urge to carry it around. However, I can't think of what to carry it out for. It's not light, so I'm afraid it can only be a handy weapon. 

light up. In fact, I used to think that the keyboard with colorful lights was quite speechless, but this effect is really good, it is more textured, and it can also adjust solid colors. There are also three levels of brightness, and more than a dozen lighting modes are enough for non-enthusiasts.

This is the first time I use a keyboard with red switches, and I used to use blue switches before. After some pointers, I feel that it feels good in the hand, a little like a Q bomb. Compared with the green axis, the sound is quieter, but not quiet enough, it is barely acceptable for home use. This is the non-detachable shaft version, suitable for those who don't want to toss.

There is still room for improvement in details. The color of the keycaps is not uniform, the seams are slightly misaligned, and there are obvious burrs on the C port. But at this price, the workmanship is worthy, and the overall appearance, texture and feel are very good.

Finally, the last old equipment is not like a few years ago, the price of mechanical keyboards is relatively affordable, and you don’t have to only look at Logitech for office work.
