Just a girl's heart burst? How about the hand-assembled Luofei Xiaoqiao 68 Miaomi keyboard?

What is the most important peripheral of a computer? I believe the keyboard must account for a large proportion. And with the improvement of user needs in recent years, keyboards have also been played with tricks. Take me as an example, I have owned no fewer than 10 mechanical keyboards. But if you want to say who is the smallest and most outstanding keyboard I have handled so far, I will vote for today's protagonist - Lofree 68-axis body keycap optional version, and this is also the first self-made from the axis It is a mechanical keyboard that is "assembled" by the keycap.

This time, there are 3 packaging boxes for the optional version of Lofree 68-axis body keycap, which are the keyboard base, keycap and axis body. In particular, the outer packaging of the keycap also adopts a window design, so that the inside can be seen directly.

Unpacking the family portrait:

Contains keyboard base, Type-C data cable, 3 AAA batteries, 71 switches (3 extra) and a set of 68 keycaps.

Here I also want to talk about the process of building and purchasing the optional version of the Lofree Xiaoqiao 68-axis keycap, just search for Lofree on WeChat to build it. For example, in terms of the shaft body, I chose Jiadalong’s G yellow shaft as the shaft body. At the same time, I can also choose the very famous TTC gold powder, as well as the clean and refreshing Jiadalong CJ wall shaft body, as well as Kaihua BOX white shaft and Transparent jellyfish shaft.

But at present, Jiadalong's G yellow switch is undoubtedly the most popular, and it is currently sold out. Looking at the official parameters, the pressure of the Jiadalong G yellow axis is 50g±15gf, the stroke is 4.0mm±0.4mm, and the trigger formation is 2.0mm±0.6mm, that is to say, the pressure of the axis is between black and red. Between, and after using grease, the overall feel will be very delicate.

At the same time, the base of Luofei Xiaoqiao also supports full-key hot-swap, which is easy and more convenient to replace, and you can easily enjoy the fun of customization.

This time Luofei Xiaoqiao’s newly launched keycaps are also of various types. It is estimated that there are nearly 20 types. Effect. And of course I chose the "macho fan" - the cat keycap. As for the craftsmanship of the keycap, there is no need to worry, PBT material + five-sided sublimation process, durability is also guaranteed.

Why Luofei named the keyboard "Xiaoqiao" is actually related to its overall shape. The entire keyboard base is designed with a curved surface upturned, which is much more curved than the traditional straight-forward keyboard. And this design also follows ergonomics and fits the force angle of fingers tapping the keyboard, thus bringing a more comfortable and smooth input experience.

The switch of Luofei Xiaoqiao is set at the bottom right. Compared with the conventional wireless keyboard switch, Luofei Xiaoqiao can be said to be a lot more high-end. A three-stage switch similar to a rotary shaft is used.

When using it, you only need to toggle it. For example, in the ON position, the wired connection mode is turned on, and the data cable is connected through the Type-C interface on the left side of the switch; when it is turned to the 2.4G/BT position, it is switched to Wireless connection mode.

The Luofei Xiaoqiao keyboard supports saving up to 3 Bluetooth devices, and you can switch between different devices through the FN+1/2/3 shortcut keys, while FN+4 uses the 2.4G wireless receiver connection mode.

Luofei Xiaoqiao's battery compartment is on the left side, which is also a very clever design. It can be inserted into 3 AAA batteries like a shotgun. As for the 2.4G wireless receiver, it is also stored in the middle.

Of course, what surprised me the most was the degree of customization Luofei Xiaoqiao made to the product accessories, not only the data cable, cap puller, and even the battery, were affixed with Luofei's logo.

I have also used a keyboard with a pluggable switch before, so it is very easy to install the switch of the Luofei Xiaoqiao keyboard. The only thing to note is that the pins of the switch should be aligned with the upper base, and the installation can be completed after pressing it in.

As for the installation of cute keycaps, I will leave it to the girls. I believe many girls will be very happy to accept this job. For example, my family members are full of praise for the design of this pink cat keycap.

The picture below is the complete state of the optional version of the Lofree 68-axis body keycap.

Experience:

First of all, the optional version of the Lofree 68-axis body keycap is very small when you get started. The size of the entire keyboard is 310×109×51.5mm, which is much smaller than ordinary keyboards. Compared with my Logitech G903 mouse, even The width of the keyboard is also smaller.

Of course, the advantage of the small size is that it is easy to carry. The computer bag can be put in and taken away casually, and it can be used with notebooks and other equipment.

As for the input experience, the letter area of ​​the Luofei Xiaoqiao 68 keyboard is of normal size, so there is not much discomfort when using it. It’s just that when you need to use the F1~F12 buttons, you need to use them together with the FN button. At the beginning, you will be a little confused, and some Windows shortcut keys also need to get used to it. However, thanks to the blessing of Jiadalong's G yellow axis, the overall key feedback of the keyboard is good, the input experience is very coherent, and the noise performance is not bad.

In addition to the regular codewords, I also tried the game experience, and I feel that it is not much different from the traditional keyboard. The delay is also well controlled. I use the 2.4G mode, and the delay is basically not felt, and the command of each button will be accurately fed back.

As the first hand-assembled keyboard, the optional version of the Lofree 68-axis keycap really left a very deep impression on me. From the shaft body, to the keycap, to the keyboard base, the keyboard has unique highlights and a high degree of freedom. At the same time, after the installation is completed, the appearance is super high, and the hand feeling experience is also excellent.
