The outer packaging of Rapoo V700DIY follows the consistent style of Rapoo V series, product rendering + product model, simple and intuitive.

Out of the box, the accessories include cable, key puller and quick use guide. The longer side is used to pull out the keycap, and the side similar to a small clip is used to pull out the shaft. Compared with the plastic key puller that came with the previous Rapoo keyboard It is much easier to use and must be praised.

The appearance of V700DIY adopts a narrow frame and floating keycap design, which is very simple and easy to clean and take care of. The surface of the keyboard is an aluminum alloy cover, and has undergone metal sandblasting.

On the upper right corner of the keyboard, there are 4 unique function buttons, indicator lights and vertical scroll wheel. The M key is for game/office mode switching, V1 is for lighting mode switching, V2 is for scroll wheel mode switching, V3 is for mute, and the scroll wheel is for system volume/keyboard light Brightness adjustment, moderate damping, stepless adjustment is supported, and the design of directly adjusting the volume with the keyboard scroll wheel is very practical, and I find it very convenient after I get used to it.

The feel is a bit similar to the red switch, but the trigger is faster, the rebound is crisp and powerful, and the quick tapping is very handy, and the tapping sound is relatively quiet, which can be said to be suitable for office games.

The large key position adopts the satellite shaft structure, and after factory embellishment, the percussion sound is obviously softer and not jerky.

All 104 keys support hot-swapping, and are compatible with mainstream five-pin hot-swappable shafts, including Goto, Jiadalong, Kaihua, TTC and other brands. The life of the hot-swappable metal shaft seat is 10,000 times, which fully meets DIY needs. Customized needs.

The names of the lighting modes this time are very interesting, and many of them use familiar four-character words, such as colorful clouds flying, drifting with the tide, stepping on the snow without trace, meteor chasing the moon, etc. Of course, there are also traditional breathing modes, spectral cycles, etc. The actual lighting effects are also Appropriate, quite cool, the blooming flowers, the rain, and the ripples all left a deep impression on me.

V700DIY supports 18 backlight modes in the office mode. In the game mode, a custom mode is added on this basis. In this mode, the light color can be set for each button, which is especially suitable for lighting the buttons commonly used in games, and Giving different colors for identification, this design is very practical and beautiful.

V700DIY has a built-in onboard storage and also supports cloud storage. It can store custom settings such as lighting and macros in the onboard storage and perform cloud synchronization backup, so that the original settings can be maintained when the computer host or keyboard is replaced.
