How much do you know about mechanical keyboards? Part 1: She has everything you want, 75% of which are equipped with 84 keys. The first experience of the Rapoo V700-8A wireless mechanical keyboard

Looking back is a lifetime, I don’t know why, I remembered this sentence when I was writing this article of Rapoo, and thinking about it, probably the reason is that the first keyboard in my life is Rapoo V500, November 5, 2015 Bought from JD.com. At that time, mechanical keyboards were not so popular. Before getting started, you can use the crackling sound of the green switch and the smooth feel when you press it.

With the growth of age, coupled with the obsession with the mechanical keyboard circle, I slowly updated a lot of equipment, and slowly came into contact with more mechanical keyboard products from Rapoo's v720pro. But no matter how much it is updated, it does not leave the original axes, such as the most memorable green axis.

Recently, Rapoo has launched a new mechanical keyboard. Generally, there is no need to worry about Rapoo’s products, which must be synonymous with cost performance. The new product launched this time is V700-8A, 84 compact key design.

The packaging looks very small, corresponding to the style of this compact design. This time I still didn't give up my favorite green axis, and chose the youthful mech purple color. In addition to Mecha Purple, there are also two colors of Lonely Brave and No Man's Land. The packaging, like the keyboard, is relatively compact. A multi-stencil sticker is pasted on the front. This design is also very good, and the cost is saved and used on the keyboard. The model and positioning of this keyboard are printed on the front side of the package: a multi-mode backlit mechanical keyboard, but the translation languages ​​include English, Simplified Chinese, Korean, and Traditional Chinese. Isn’t it sold to Japan?

The color scheme of the packaging adopts the theme color of Rapoo, which is black and blue. If you have bought other products, you will find that the packaging of Rapoo’s products basically adopts this color scheme. The six features of the product are printed on the back: ①Support Bluetooth 3.0, 5.0, 2.4GHz, wired mode; ②Multi-device adaptation intelligent switching; ③Built-in rechargeable lithium battery; ④Keyboard conflict-free design; Response; ⑥ adjustable backlight system.

The packaging adopts the design of Tiandi box. After opening, you can see the keyboard body and related accessories: A to C data cable, key puller, 2.4GHz receiver, and quick start guide.

When you get the keyboard, you can see the compact design style of this keyboard, 75% of which are arranged with 84 key positions, and there is no waste of space in the entire keypad except for the evenly distributed keys, which also adapts to the originally not spacious desktop.

The Rapoo V700-8A has three colors and four switches, which basically correspond to the traditional switches of Cherry: black switch, brown switch, green switch, and red switch. The shaft is self-developed by Rapoo, and there is basically nothing to say in terms of lifespan and feel. If you experience a mechanical keyboard for the first time, it is recommended to start with the Green Switch, which can experience a completely different feel from the traditional membrane keyboard.

Among all three colors, I still like the color scheme of Mech Purple the most.

Rapoo V700-8A supports monochromatic white light. In order to make the lighting effect better, the keycap adopts two-color injection molding keycap, and the font is transparent and can transmit light. However, if the purple part of the mech purple is not blessed with lighting effects, it will be difficult to see the font on it clearly.

The keys are in an island style, which is easier to clean than the embedded floating keycaps.

The body of the keyboard is made of aluminum alloy frame, sandblasting process + CNC trimming, the feel and visual effect are very textured.

There is no redundant design around the frame, and there is a stepped Type-c wired interface on the rear side for wired access and charging.

On the left front side of the frame is a white light with the Rapoo brand logo. This design improves the exquisiteness of the keyboard a bit.

When it comes to lighting effects, although Rapoo V700-8A only provides monochrome white lights, you can adjust different lighting effect modes through the Fn key.

On the back of the keyboard are four fixed non-slip rubber pads and two non-slip feet, which can be stable whether it is used flat or raised.

Rapoo V700-8A provides 5 connection methods, of course, the main one is wireless connection. It provides three connection methods: Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 3.0, and 2.4GHz. Four devices can be paired wirelessly, which can basically cover the electronic devices used in daily use. up. The other one is wired, and switching between devices is also very simple. You can switch between different devices by pressing Fn + the button marked in the digital area. The actual test switching speed is very fast.

The Rapoo V700-8A focuses on wireless connections, so it is also equipped with a high-end battery. It provides a 4000 mAh lithium battery, so there is no need to worry about battery life. It can be used for 225 hours without turning on the light. It would be even better if there is a light effect to remind the remaining power. Such a large battery will not often toggle the switch, so the keyboard is designed with the switch on the back of the keyboard.

Rapoo V700-8A also provides supporting driver software, which supports configuration settings, parameter settings, lighting settings, macro editing, firmware updates, etc. Rapoo V700-8A supports full-key rollover in wired mode and 6-key rollout in wireless mode, both of which can be set individually through the driver app.

Rapoo V700-8A can also realize the multimedia function under Windows system through the combination of Fn and F1-F11.

In general, Rapoo V700-8A is a 75% 84-key compact mechanical keyboard, which provides multiple connection methods, multiple lighting effects, self-developed shaft and other configurations, and is equipped with its own driver software It can realize 84-key programming, and custom settings can be written into the onboard chip or stored in the cloud. In addition to performance, the appearance of the purple color of the mecha is really unique. Anyway, I have no resistance at all. If you want to buy a mechanical keyboard with a compact layout of 75% to save space for daily use, and you want to type on the keyboard with multiple electronic devices, you can try this V700-8A.
