How to play mechanical keyboard keycap? Hands-on experience with Lofree Panda OEM keycaps

I recently fell in love with the 75% 84-key mechanical keyboard⌨️, and the original keycaps of the Rapoo V700-8A I just bought are made of ABS material. The beautiful PBT keycaps, I fell in love with this set of OEM keycaps with the panda theme on the Luofei shipboard at first sight, let's take a look at them together.

The packaging of this set of keycaps is very delicate. There are 131 PBT keys in total, which are composed of upper and lower layers, which will not be scattered and are convenient to store. Even if you don't take it out, the transparent packaging can still appreciate the keycaps at any time. The length of the space bar is the standard 6.25U, and the length of the CTRL, WIN, ALT on the upper layer is 1.25U.

Maybe some friends who have just played with mechanical keyboard keycaps will ask: My keyboard only has 108 keys, and you can give me 131 keys that I can’t use up. In fact, as long as you enter the big family (pit) of mechanical keyboards, you will find that a keyboard is not enough for you (buy, buy, buy). Because mechanical keyboards are divided into various layouts and arrangements, different layouts and arrangements will result in different numbers of keys. Even if the keyboard with the same 60% arrangement may have dozens of layouts, I will not list them here.

This set of keycaps can be arranged in most mainstream layouts, so there are 131 keycaps;

In addition to the number of keycaps, there are also the height and length of the keycaps. The height used by this set of shipboard pandas is the OEM height. Here, by the way, for those who have just played with mechanical keyboards, the science popularization: The so-called OEM refers to the height of the keycap. Generally speaking, except for Cherry in Germany, the amount of most third-party brands The production keyboard uses keycaps of OEM height (different from the height of the original factory). The keyboard I am about to replace with this set of keycaps is also of OEM height. The OEM height is ergonomically designed, and the height of the keys has a gradient. Comfortable and not easy to fatigue.

Careful friends will find why the PGUP, END and other buttons in the above picture are repeated. In fact, although they are all the same length (in the industry, the length is called 1U or 1X), but the height (the height is called R) is not the same. Generally speaking, the height of an ergonomic mechanical keyboard keycap (OEM height, etc.) counts from the upper F area to the bottom, and there are six columns of R4, R4, R3, R2, R1, R1, such as this set of keycaps. There are DEL with two heights of R4 and R1, PGUP and HOME keys with R3 and R2 height, PGDN keys with R1 and R2 height, etc., so the compatibility of this large set of keycaps is very good, and there are many mechanical keyboards supported.

The plastic key puller provided by many mechanical keyboards is very difficult to use. I believe that friends who have used the wire key puller will never go back. The benefits of using the wire key puller are not only labor-saving but also not harmful to the keycap. LOFREE made this steel puller very beautiful, orange and milky white, with a raised LOGO, and it was molded independently with great care; it is suitable for clamping the steel wire from the bottom of the keycap to both sides and lifting it up to lift the key The cap comes off easily.

The keycaps are made of PBT material and sublimation process, and the characters and patterns will not fade after long-term use. From the bottom of the keycaps, it can be seen that the original color of the keycaps is milky white (the color of PBT plastic). The thickness is very good. The sublimation pigments are made from The five sides invade the inside of the PBT, so that the keycaps will not fade. The interior also marked the length of the keycap 2.25U long R2 advanced information, the F key also has typing positioning protrusions to make users more accustomed to use.

Use a key puller to replace the keycaps easily. This set of keycaps is especially suitable for bare shaft mechanical keyboards without a cover like mine. It is easy to clean and you can better appreciate the keys from different angles. cap.

After installing this set of shipboard panda keycaps, the keyboard becomes more beautiful, and the keycaps with high PBT content are also very easy to slip in the hand, and the hand feel has also been improved to a certain extent. The blue, white and red color matching is very atmospheric. PS: Carrier Panda was born on December 17, 2019. It is a representative of the aircraft carrier characters based on the Chinese aircraft carrier crew and carrier aircraft pilots. The panda is a well-known national treasure image in China. The overall streamlined body and facial shape are loved by the public for its cuteness and cuteness. Pandas, formerly known as iron eaters, are aggressive carnivores with sharp fangs and blade-like claws. The carrier-borne pandas put on the colorful vests of the aircraft carrier posts, and incarnate different roles of aircraft carrier officers and soldiers, defending the sacred mission of the Chinese navy to go deep blue.

It conforms to the ergonomic design, so it is very comfortable to use, and it is not easy to use for a long time. tired. The keycaps with high PBT content are very wear-resistant, and typing is also very finger-friendly. Moreover, the steel wire key puller included in the set is good-looking and easy to use. It is very convenient to use it to change the keycaps without damaging the keycaps. The workmanship of this set of keycaps is very good, there is no skew after installation, and there are keys of various lengths and heights. I recommend it to friends who like to play with keycaps.
