How to choose a mechanical keyboard? Only waterproof and dustproof can be assured, more durable Rapoo V520RGB evaluation experience

I believe that many friends have had this experience. When using the computer, they accidentally spilled the water at hand on the keyboard. Buy a new keyboard. If the keyboard can be waterproof, can this kind of accidental loss be avoided? Taking advantage of the warm-up of 618, Raiders bought a pair of Rapoo V520RGB mechanical keyboards. According to the official introduction, it is not only waterproof and dustproof, but also has a magic color RGB dual backlight design, which is fashionable, cool and durable.

As we all know, Rapoo's products have always had cheap and easy-to-use settings among domestic and foreign brands. Especially in recent years, there have been many breakthroughs in independent research and development, including the feel and performance of the independent shaft body. promote. This time, nano-waterproof coating is used to create a high-proof keyboard that is waterproof for the whole body. I believe many friends will be interested after seeing it.

In order to achieve a high level of protection, the Rapoo V520RGB mechanical keyboard does not use the common plug-in data cable, but fixes the data cable in the middle of the top. Although the wiring on both sides is missing, the middle wiring should be the most commonly used position, and I believe most users can accept it.

In terms of key layout, Rapoo officially chooses the most commonly used 104-key scheme, which is the most suitable key combination for productivity. The key layout is also the mainstream solution, so don’t worry about feeling uncomfortable in the initial stage; for users like Raiders who type nearly 10,000 words a day, it’s very comfortable to use, and you can use it directly without any burden.

It can be seen that the entire panel of the keyboard is made of a whole piece of aluminum alloy plate. After multiple processes and sandblasting treatment, the overall texture is excellent, and you will feel the unique coolness of metal when you touch it. At the upper right of the keyboard, there are also three indicator lights, which are convenient for users to confirm the working status of the keyboard, including uppercase and lowercase modes. The Rapoo brand logo at the edge is also very prominent and highly recognizable.

Different from ordinary RGB keyboards, it is only equipped with lamp beads at the bottom of the keys to bring dynamic light effects; the Rapoo V520RGB mechanical keyboard has been CNC-cut at the edges, and the CNC strips are combined with the side RGB light strips to bring more For stylish and gorgeous visual effects. For friends who like RGB lighting effects and pursue cool personality, this kind of appearance is full of charm, which is irresistible.

Two-color injection keycaps are a commonly used process for RGB keyboards. Rapoo has rich experience in this area. The light transmission of each key is reassuring, and all keys can be clearly seen when typing at night. With lamp beads and edge light strips, it can create an unprecedented desktop atmosphere, and it is also a good choice for friends who like DIY table construction.

As mentioned earlier, Rapoo has made a breakthrough in the autonomous axis. This Rapoo V520RGB is equipped with the Rapoo independent infrared silver switch. Different from the traditional mechanical switch trigger design, the trigger principle of the infrared silver switch is through the resistance. Cut off the infrared light to achieve button triggering. When the key shaft is pressed, the infrared light in the shaft body is blocked, so as to feed back a pressing signal to the computer. This unique design makes the keyboard have a better performance in terms of dustproof and waterproof.

In addition to the unique design of the shaft body, Rapoo officially added a waterproof coating to the keyboard to ensure that the overall waterproof performance of the keyboard has been improved. No fear of water, even after using for a period of time, when the dust and dirt on the keyboard are obvious, it is no problem to rinse and wipe with water directly.

Different from the position of the panel, the bottom of the keyboard is made of plastic material, one is to better implant the RGB light strip, and the other is to avoid the shell from rusting due to water residue. At the same time, drainage holes are left to facilitate the timely discharge of poured liquid and reduce the occurrence of internal water accumulation.

The ergonomically designed inclination design allows the keyboard panel to be presented in front of the user at a specific angle, and it will not burden the hands for a long time. Of course, the folding feet on both sides of the bottom are indispensable. Unfortunately, no two-stage feet are used, but the design covered with a large area of ​​non-slip rubber is still very considerate.

The 1.8-meter-long USB data cable meets the needs of users in different scenarios. Whether it is a desktop computer or an all-in-one computer, a notebook or a minicomputer, the length of the cable is completely sufficient. Many friends often ask what is the columnar object at the front end of the data cable. In fact, it is a magnetic ring, which can effectively reduce signal interference and improve the accuracy of the keyboard. Many USB-connected devices will use this device, and high-precision devices such as mechanical keyboards are also necessary.

After a week of use, Raiders is very satisfied with the overall performance of the Rapoo V520RGB mechanical keyboard. Whether it is the appearance or the feel, it must be considered among the products at the same price. Because of the unique trigger design of the independent infrared silver switch, the touch of the keyboard is significantly different from other products. The total stroke of the switch body is 3.8±0.4mm, the trigger stroke is 2.0±0.4mm, the trigger pressure is 55±5gf, and the end pressure is 60±5gf. The shrapnel type paragraph device realizes rapid triggering and timely rebound, and the unique rebound experience is strong and powerful.

Lighting effects are essential for typing at night. Compared with keyboards that only have RGB key lights, the addition of edge light strips is the icing on the cake. Rapoo V520RGB has 19 preset lighting effects, including traditional lights such as constant lights, revolving lights, and breathing lights. Both effects can be switched through the key combination Fn+Prtsc. It doesn’t matter if the built-in lights don’t meet everyone’s preferences. Rapoo designers also reserved 6 custom lighting effect modes. You can enter the setting mode through the Fn+Pause key combination, and keep using it after setting according to your preferences.

In addition to lighting effects and feel, Rapoo V520RGB also presets many shortcut key schemes, and corresponding patterns are printed on the keycaps. Various shortcut functions can be realized through Fn+corresponding keys, which is especially convenient when connecting notebooks, all-in-one computers and other devices.

Although the Rapoo V520RGB does not have an independent driver setting program and cannot realize the editing of button macros, its appearance and basic performance are impeccable.
