iKBC Z98 mechanical keyboard! The sensational experience of the second fan in GUNDAM!
Nowadays, there are more and more brand functions of mechanical keyboards. However, as an old mechanical keyboard brand, ikbc, I have always had a special feeling for him, and this feeling comes from his GUNDAM series! People born in the 1980s were not fans of Gundam when they were boys in their school days. Everyone imagined that they could have the opportunity to drive a Gundam mech, even if they couldn't control the mech, and typed on the huge operating screen at the command center. All very touching!
ikbc recently launched a new version Z98 with the original Gundam, I felt that this is where my heart belongs when I first saw it!
This Z98 up to 1.0 is ikbc's first 98 series keyboard, and it is also a simple mechanical keyboard for beginners. The price of less than 300 is also very affordable for novices, even the student party can easily start!
The color scheme of the keyboard follows the color scheme of the rx78-2 Yuanzu Gundam. The main body is mainly white, with red, yellow and blue regional colors. What is more bright is that the white of this keyboard is not pure white, but slightly grayish off-white, which makes the style of the whole keyboard rise to a higher level.
The second is the keycap characters of PBT sublimation material on the keyboard, which has a strong mecha style. Because it is a joint name with Gundam, in addition to the marked letters, there are many Gundam elements on the keyboard. The Enter key is the logo of the E.F.S.F Federation Army, and the spelling of Gundam is on the blank space. Since it is a joint name, the brand logo of the main factory must not be missing. There is an ikbc logo in engraved lettering in the lower left corner, which is low-key and luxurious.
The advantage of the Z98 mechanical keyboard is that the middle function keys are missing and the number keypad is retained. While the functionality and practicality are not reduced, the size of the keyboard is also reduced a lot, saving more space on the desktop.
The back of the keyboard is relatively simple, with a pure white back, height-adjustable feet, and a product nameplate. The three-outlet design also takes into account the left and right positions of the user's chassis.
Since it is a Gundam co-branded keyboard, the detail party will definitely pay attention to the injection molding process and the nozzle situation~ Simply this keyboard has a two-color injection molding process, the pattern is clear, and the character printing is also very clean and neat. After the keycap is removed, the spout on the quilt is also very neat! The gospel of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
In terms of switches, I chose ikbc's red switches for this keyboard. It is quiet but does not lose the feedback of fingertips. It will not disturb colleagues in daily office use. And long-term use is also silky enjoyment, it will not be clean and tiring.
I think this keyboard is super cool no matter what kind of desktop it is paired with!
The ratio of 98 keys takes into account the size and volume at the same time. The reservation of the small keyboard makes it easier for me to enter numbers frequently. Entering data such that a keyboard does not take up too much space on the desktop is practical. Strong and strong, it is indeed a good keyboard for typing.
In terms of sound, it is indeed much quieter than the green axis. It is true that working in the office and typing at home in the middle of the night will not affect other people's rest. The main reason is that there is no sense of paragraphs so that I don’t have wrist tension when typing for a long time, so that I can work better, and the most important thing is to use my favorite Gundam keyboard! Work has a lot of energy!
If you are a Gundam fan of this ikbc mechanical keyboard, which is less than 300 yuan, you will definitely not lose money. Whether it is the color or the texture of the material, it is right for this feeling and the price!
