Heijue AK816 Pro Bluetooth three-mode keyboard: full of sincerity, only for the comfort in the hand

Speaking of Heijue, I think of their Dartman keyboards. I have bought several keyboards of Heijue. I didn’t expect that its products began to gradually transform into customization last year, such as their AC081 series and AC067 series. , but because of the portability problem, I haven't started it yet, but the appearance after seeing other players getting started is really high!

The AK816 Pro keyboard that I bought this time is actually designed based on AC081. Compared with AC081, the appearance of AK816 Pro has not changed much, but the shell adopts ABS injection molding process with lower cost and better portability. The overall configuration has also been upgraded. First of all, the Gasket gasket structure and RGB music rhythm are retained, and it also supports Bluetooth, wireless 2.4G, and wired three-mode connections, which made me quite expect and surprise.

Exterior

Heijue AK816 Pro keyboard has 2 colors, one is white cosmic adventure, and the other is black rock fantasy, the appearance value is quite high at first glance.

Heijue now has higher and higher requirements for the craftsmanship of the keyboard. The outer packaging design is very simple, which not only retains enough mystery, but also has a simple atmosphere. It is still very heavy to hold with one hand.

When I opened the package, I saw the real appearance of the keyboard. I got the black rock fantasy, which looks very fashionable and full of texture.

The AK816 pro adopts a compact layout of 81 keys, 75% of which are arranged in a row, and has a page-turning key and an F-key area, which is really friendly to a text worker like me. Of course, you can also perform macro editing settings for each key through the driver of this keyboard, and changing the key function will be more suitable for you.

The back of the Heijue AK816 Pro keyboard is equipped with a two-stage foot support. Personally, I generally like to use the keyboard with it propped up.

There are three-mode switching keys and Mac and Windows switching keys at the bottom of the back, which can be seen at a glance.

In addition, Heijue also hides the 2.4G wireless receiver near the wired interface of the keyboard, which is magnetically absorbed, easy to take and store, does not take up space, and can prevent loss.

Heijue AK816 Pro adopts the Gasket structure that has been popular in the past two years for customized key rings. Silicone gaskets are set on the upper and lower covers to support the positioning plate to avoid the hard impact of the internal components of the keyboard on the shell when knocking. PORON is also added inside. Bottom cotton, PORON shaft underpad, and PORON sandwich cotton can eliminate a lot of button noise, and when used with a softer and more flexible PC positioning board, it achieves both excellent feel and hearing.

With the sublimation PBT keycap of MDA height, the contact area with the finger is increased, which greatly improves the comfort of typing.

In terms of accessories, Heijue AK816 pro also considerately comes with a themed mouse pad, a dust cover, and of course indispensable data cables, 2-in-1 key puller, supplementary mac keycaps, etc.

Experience

As far as the connection stability is concerned, I very much approve of the performance of the AK816 Pro. I can easily switch between any devices, and there is basically no delay during use.

If I use the host at home, I usually connect via a wired connection or a 2.4G receiver. If I use Surface or iPad daily, I use Bluetooth connection. The switching experience is very good.

The next thing I want to talk about is the portability and battery life of the Heijue AK816 Pro. The Heijue AK816 Pro has a built-in 3000mAh large battery. When the backlight is turned off, it can be used for up to 50 days. After turning on the backlight, At most, it can persist for at least a week. I personally think that this battery life is quite satisfactory.

I switched to a large white desktop, so I personally prefer to turn off the backlight mode and use it longer.

The weight of AK816 Pro is 990g, which is almost the weight of two bottles of mineral water. It is not very light, but it can be put into a backpack and carried out.

Next, let’s talk about its typing feel. The AK816 pro is equipped with Jiadalong G Silver 2.0 axis body, with only 43g of trigger key travel, the feel is relatively light, and the knocking sound is not too loud.

After using it for a week, I feel that its feel is much better than that of ordinary mechanical keyboards. It is the kind of light and refreshing typing, and there is obvious elastic feedback at the bottom. No matter how hard I press, it will give back feedback, making it easier to use.

The coding experience is much better than my original mechanical keyboard, and the sound is more crisp, because the keycap is made of PBT material, and it will not fade or become oily after long-term use.

In addition, the key to customization is to be able to freely replace keycaps and shafts. The Heijue AK816 Pro keyboard is equipped with a Kaihua hot-swappable base. All keys support hot-swappable, and support 3-pin and 5-pin shafts. , can be compatible with most of the mainstream shafts on the market, and you can replace any other shafts for user experience later.

Heijue AK816 Pro also supports 18 kinds of RGB backlight effects that can be switched. Its music rhythm mode is very interesting. You can download the corresponding driver on the official website to adjust it, so that the lights can change with the rhythm of the music we play.

What I didn't expect was that Heijue AK816 Pro actually added a volume knob. I think this function is intuitive and convenient. When playing games, you can use this knob to quickly adjust the volume.

Summarize

The early keyboards were just productivity tools for me, and the most important thing was the cost performance, but now I not only care about the cost performance of the keyboard, but also the comfort and appearance of keyboard typing, and Heijue AK816 Pro not only has these, but even does it well. Even better, full sincerity is in the details.
