Heijue AC067: Yuanfeng blue, the avenue to simplicity at the end of summer

In the summer of 2022, manufacturers of crazy "inwardly rolled" key rings frequently released their own mechanical keyboards, from customized switches to colorful colors, and even different keyboard layouts. Among the design elements, I personally think that the manufacturer has launched a lot of good products.

When enough brands flood into a market segment, the result is that the needs of target users are infinitely refined, and then manufacturers will provide products corresponding to the refined solutions. It is better than millimeter-level accurate shaft parameters, and products that are refined to more usage scenarios such as office, e-sports, and daily use. When consumers choose, they only need to correspond to the corresponding products according to their own needs. a feeling of.

Among the nearly 20 mechanical keyboards that I have written, there are not many mechanical keyboards, some are very easy to use, and some are very reluctant. For users, they can find a product that clearly and accurately matches their needs. , is the most successful and happy thing. In the mature key ring market, there is actually no obvious difference in the parameters and shaft bodies of various companies.

Heijue AC067 is the second mechanical keyboard I came into contact with this brand. AC067 is a 67-key three-mode Gasket mechanical keyboard with "aluminum lump" as the core selling point of the Heijue Light Krypton series. The corresponding axis The body is a blueberry switch, which supports full-key hot-swappable, RGB backlight, and onboard driver. The current price on JD.com is 749 yuan.

In fact, from the appearance of the packaging box at the beginning, we can roughly see the core design of this keyboard, which uses a whole piece of aluminum plate to maximize the stability of the keyboard, so that users can get Robust springback while achieving an overall look of unity by minimizing keyboard cutouts. In terms of accessories, it is simple and practical, and the normal level of accessories can meet the needs of daily use without any merit.

Judging from the overall real shots, it is suitable for small desks, laptops or screens below 27 inches, so that the ratio between the two will complement each other. The entire keyboard shell is made of all-aluminum alloy, precision-machined by CNC digital machine tools, and the 67-key "one game of chess" and "big picture" are well-crafted.

Viewed from the side, the aluminum alloy upper cover is stuck on the aluminum alloy bottom case. Through the fixing of the upper and side positions, all the accessories are firmly stuck in a frame, and the overall stability is achieved to a certain extent. Of course, more importantly, the precision and coordination between the various components must be highly consistent.

The Gasket structure is a gasket-type working principle, which is different from the traditional screw-fixed circuit board design principle. By using no screws or screws only to fix the upper and lower positioning plates, the positioning plate is fixed in the middle position by the upper and lower shells. Due to the gasket With the existence of the keyboard, there will be buffers in the upper and lower directions of the keyboard, so that users can feel a softer and warmer feel during use, and have a purer experience in the knocking sound.

In terms of the color matching of the keycaps, the periphery is surrounded by blue elements, all the letters and numbers in the middle are given white elements, and the space, enter key and the ESC button on the upper left are given light yellow, personally I think this design is very ingenious. On the one hand, it responds to the blue element of "summer-like sea water" in Yuanfeng blue. The white part is like a big ship sailing to the sea, and the three well-arranged yellow buttons also let The color matching of the entire keyboard is no longer monotonous and rigid.

In order to maintain a greater degree of overall consistency, AC067 even omits the indicator light, and the user does not have to worry about whether the small light that is on is Bluetooth 5.0 or 2.4G or a wired connection. However, according to the instructions in the manual, it can be connected through the Combination key lights flashing color to identify the mode status and that's it.

The bottom is fixed with 8 screws, I gave up after dismantling half of it because the fixation is too firm, and you can imagine the stability in use. On the contrary, there are only product information codes and a mountain design element at the bottom, and then 4 rubber pads are used to protect the wooden table top.

There is only one type-c interface in the front. The designer even refused to dig a hole in this piece of aluminum and add a cover to store the 2.4G receiver. Although this is very convenient for storage, the designer must think that " Cutting a hole in the all-aluminum case to accommodate the receiver must be the height of folly."

However, I think the best-looking design of this keyboard is the type-c interface. It can be seen that it is an extremely aesthetic design element in terms of the overall design and the appearance of the design.

The switch button of the keyboard also adopts a concealed design method, which is arranged under the space bar. Before using it, you need to open the space bar, turn on the switch and then use it. I personally think it is acceptable in general. After all, most people still pursue aesthetics first. In addition, this keyboard supports sleep mode, and it will automatically start when the keyboard is not in use. There is no need to worry about power consumption when the switch is turned on all the time. .

In terms of the shaft body, the 35g blueberry shaft is used as a linear shaft, which has a lighter feel and a better tapping experience, and the sound is also controlled just right. It is applicable to both office and game scenes.

In terms of keycaps, as mentioned above, the blue, yellow and white color combination is still pretty good overall. The two-color injection molding technology and PBT material make the touch feel delicate, and it will not fade or become oily even if it is used for a long time.

In terms of RGB lighting effects, I personally think that the lighting effects of most keyboards on the market are rich enough. For mid-to-high-end players, the 18 preset lighting effects and 16 million colors of Heyjue AC067 are rich enough. To achieve richer operations.

You can download the keyboard driver from Heijue official website, but it should be noted that there is only EXE format at present, and the Mac version may have to wait.

However, out of the exploration of new things, I installed the lighting effect software of Heijue AC067 on the desktop. On the whole, you have everything you want, and it also supports the download of some personalized lighting effects. Playability is still very high.

Generally speaking, Heijue AC067 Yuanfeng Blue is a very good three-mode aluminum tuotuo mechanical keyboard. Whether it is the design or the configuration of parameters, I personally think it is a very good product in the aluminum tuotuo design. It feels light to use. The overall layout is good. If it is used to create a simple style study desktop, the overall effect is still very good.

Especially like I like Bluetooth in everything, except for the necessary power cord, the rest is a clean desktop, with a high-value, high-performance, easy-to-use Bluetooth keyboard, it can better reflect the cleanliness of the desktop sense and three-dimensionality.
