Is it really a cheap explosion? ——Evaluation experience of C1 mechanical keyboard made in Beijing

Hello everyone, I am Taotie

I am very happy to get this opportunity for public testing. After all, Aunt Zhang’s public testing activities on mechanical keyboards are really getting less and less (make me cry). It is said that this special experience event of "explosive affordable mechanical keyboard" is four keyboards purchased by Aunt Zhang herself, so it will not involve any promotion. As far as I am concerned, I will naturally not be merciful, and the essence of "venomous tongue" will undoubtedly be exposed.

Haha, just kidding.

In fact, all products have their own advantages and disadvantages. If you can only spray it, you will become a pure sunspot. Therefore, in this evaluation process, I will still give a relatively objective evaluation based on my experience in using it for so many years. .

Without further ado, let's start.

The evaluation keyboard I got this time is the C1 made by Beijing Tokyo. To be honest, I haven’t used the mechanical keyboard of Jingzao brand before, not because it is bad, but in my impression, Jingdongzao is more like a department store, and the keyboard is just a small branch of it. , so in terms of functional experience and care, there may not be an independent peripheral brand that is professional.

However, when I learned that the keyboard I got this time was the C1 made by Jingdong, I was a little bit looking forward to it. After all, the first time I came into contact with it, the freshness was exciting.

The pure black packaging box of C1 shows its calm and low-key temperament, and the bronzing font highlights a bit of nobility.

After I opened it, the keyboard body was displayed in front of me, and the accessories included included a power cord, key puller, additional keycaps, and instructions.

Take out the keyboard body, you can see that the overall shape of this Beijing-made C1 is still very simple and unpretentious. The black shell is matched with black and white keycaps, a simple and concise feeling.

In terms of layout, it is still 80% of the standard key arrangement, and the full-size arrow keys are cut off to increase the space for mouse activities.

In addition, the keyboard also uses a Type-c interface with separated key lines, WIN/MAC switching and two-stage foot supports.

In terms of the switch body, the specific foundry is not listed on the official website, but the Beijing-made C1 in my hand uses the classic linear red switch.

After trying it out, the feel is direct, the smoothness is stable, and there is no unnecessary noise.

The large key position is still the classic steel satellite switch, and the black positioning plate and the satellite switch have a high degree of unity.

Through the gap of the space bar, you can see the words of its foundry Keychron C1 printed on the PCB.

To feel the specific typing sound, the tuning of the large keys is quite good, not shaking or fleshy, simply powerful.

In terms of keycaps, this Beijing-made C1 uses OEM-height PBT transparent keycaps. The font is a closed design, with more complete characters and clearer display effects.

In addition, the ergonomic curvature of the keycap is very comfortable, and the palm of the hand will not be too tired when tapping.

In terms of functions, this keyboard adopts a dual-system mode that can be switched between WIN/MAC, which means that it can use different shortcut keys between the two systems according to the needs of users, which greatly increases office efficiency.

At the same time, for the convenience of use, the keyboard also comes with some supplementary keycaps, which can be replaced in real time, making it easy to find and use.

In terms of lighting effect, this Beijing-made C1 adopts a pure white light, with a light-transmitting PBT keycap, allowing users to input information normally in a dim environment.

Although the one in my hand does not have RGB lighting effects, the monochromatic white light is actually enough as a background light.

Obviously, the Beijing-made C1 released two years ago is a simple input tool, without triple-mode wireless, Gasket structure, gorgeous color matching, and fresh switches. However, as the essential work of a keyboard, it is still smooth. It's done.

In fact, this is what I often say. When all the complexity is put aside, the mechanical keyboard is originally a tool for use, but in an increasingly introverted environment, people begin to add things that do not belong to this essence. Things, so that the mechanical keyboard becomes more and more complicated, more and more noisy, out of the traditional rules and regulations.

So in the end, if you have a budget of more than 200 yuan, would you buy this Beijing-made C1?

Well, the above is the whole content of this article, thank you for reading!
