Key words and mouse words Part 4: The appearance of the desktop is responsible, this damn light luxury is simply fascinating｜Appreciation and analysis of Hubatu F75 mechanical keyboard

The niche brand Hubatu has been quiet before, and it officially entered the field of mechanical keyboards last year. The first H98 is amazing, Gasket structure + TFT color screen + physical double knob + hot swap + fast silver switch V2 + metal structure + 6000mAh battery, full configuration, sincerity is in place, especially the appearance value can be said in the current key circle It is very tasteful. I also wrote a review at the beginning and gave it a very high evaluation.

A few months later, Hubatu released a new product, based on the popular 75 series, and made a lot of optimizations on the basis of H98, with a simpler shape and more elegant color matching. From my personal experience, this upgrade is extremely successful, let’s follow my perspective to see the specific performance of this new product.

▼The outer packaging is still the classic Tiandi box, the front keyboard sketch and model number. Friends who hold the previous generation H98 can see at a glance that the appearance of the two has changed a lot.

▼The richness of accessories still follows the style of big manufacturers. In addition to the keyboard body, the same color aviation plug-in cable, key puller/shaft puller, and manual, an additional all-in-one tool kit is provided, including keyboard brushes, shaft moistening Pens, vacuuming felts, and more.

▼Color matching is estimated to be the factor that evokes consumers' desire to buy at first sight. Tiger Batu F75 has four colors, which are paper drunken gold fans / moonlight moonlight / hibiscus rouge / cold river snow. Personally, I think Yuexia Chanjuan and Han Jiangxue are the most beautiful.

▼Moonlight Chanjuan uses pink and white as the main color, adding light green and light orange to match, the overall is clean and elegant, giving people a very comfortable first visual impression. Although the scroll wheel on the upper right and the nameplate on the lower left are embellished with gold, it does not give people the illusion of a nouveau riche. The overall look and feel can be described in one word as "light luxury". It looks simple but full of elegance and elegance. In terms of texture, it is more than one step higher than H98.

▼In terms of design style, F75 adopts a large number of rounded corners, the edges are too smooth, and the pink and white color also gives people a warm texture. It is worth mentioning that Hubatu currently only has two models, H98 and F75, but the templates are not the same. F75, which is basically complete with rounded corners, will cost a lot more in production.

▼The keyboard configuration is the popular 75-key position. The compact layout makes the desktop more concise. In terms of functions, there are no other problems except that there is no small keyboard and it is inconvenient for financial workers. However, the layout of the F75 is very good, and the sense of coordination is very good, which is mainly reflected in the embedded aluminum alloy volume knob and LCD screen in the upper right corner. Some thought has been spent on the design.

▼It may be more intuitive to compare with H98. First of all, the H98 keyboard is larger in size, but the design language is too complicated. Although the two knobs have more functions, they do not look as simple and refreshing as the F75. Secondly, the knobs of the H98 are made of plastic, which is not as textured as the F75 alloy.

▼From the side view, the metal knob runs through the upper and lower base plates, and next to it is the mode switch/system switch lever, with a golden frame, green lever, and pink embellishment. The color matching is very comfortable.

▼The power switch and type-c wired interface on the left, it is relatively rare to place the interface on the left side of the keyboard like this, so the standard wire also comes with a 90° corner.

▼The top area is also an improved version. H98 is a circular arc transition + three-dimensional shape, while F75 is a direct ramp design, and the rounded corners are also processed, which is more concise visually.

▼The bottom of the keyboard is usually designed as a storage location for the 2.4G receiver, but the F75 continues the concept of "simple and complex" here, except for two magnetically adjustable legs that can be replaced with different heights, and a tiger engraved in the middle The metal disk of the cartoon image of Hachito, without any functional existence.

▼Actually, this metal disc is magnetically fixed on the bottom plate, and when you press and remove the disc, you will see the storage position of the receiver. It can be seen that the F75 has a lot of ingenuity in design, and it has evolved a lot compared to the previous generation H98.

▼The material of the keycap is PBT, the front font is two-color injection molding, and the side font is high-temperature silk screen printing. The contact surface of the keycap is relatively large, and the PBT composition is also sufficient, and the touch is delicate. The raised dots of "F" and "J" in the middle are used to distinguish blindly.

▼The combination function is marked in blue characters in the big F area above, which can be quickly set up without a manual.

▼In terms of workmanship, it still adheres to the consistent excellent workmanship of large factories. The chrysanthemum is complete and smooth. After all, it is a sub-brand of Funde, and it still has a lot of advantages in quality control.

▼Axis Axis The TTC Neptune axis carried by Tiger Batu F75 is a new axis launched by TTC 2023. In terms of structure, it adopts a one-piece direct insertion to the bottom and upper cover long track structure. TTC collectively refers to the axis of this structure as high-speed rail axis. Different from the MX shaft body, the Neptune shaft upper cover comes with a 6mm long slide rail, which ensures that the shaft center and the upper shell always slide on the long track of the shaft cover when the shaft body is working, thus bringing a smooth and seamless pressing experience. At present, the single price of this shaft body is 4~5 yuan, and the disassembled shaft is also in the range of 3 yuan, which is a proper high-end shaft.

▼The Neptune axis incorporates the traditional language of the round sky and the earth, and the round top cover and square base complement each other. The transparent base and buttons can realize the light between the buttons. With the TTC condenser lens module, the luminous flux is greatly increased, and the light effect is even and not dazzling. Even the opaque keycaps can create an excellent lighting atmosphere. In addition, the shaft terminal and shrapnel also adopt silver plating process and anti-oxidation and anti-blackening coating to meet the user's demand for durability.

▼In terms of parameters, the Neptune switch has a trigger pressure of 41gf, a trigger stroke of 2.0mm, a total stroke of 3.8mm, and a lifespan of 100 million keys, a typical linear axis. A detailed structural diagram of the high-speed rail shaft is attached. Currently, there is also a Venus shaft that uses this structure, and TTC will continue to release shafts named after other galaxies in the future.

▼Hubatu F75 adopts the mainstream Gasket structure, with 5-pin shaft seat, PC positioning board, silicone layer, PCB and silicone bottom pad are precisely pressed to death in the middle of the keyboard through rubber and upper and lower covers, the internal filling is in place, and the cavity sound is also suppressed It's very good, and the consistency of the big keys is also good. In addition, the impact sound of the Neptune shaft is low, and the kit is tightly combined, so the knocking sound is very slight, and there is no need to worry about disturbing others in public.

▼The LCD screen in the upper right corner can freely adjust the light brightness, mode, etc. through the exclusive driver, and can also customize a single key. In the drawing board mode, you can also draw or upload GIF animations for display. The display quality of the TFT color screen is good, both in terms of clarity and color performance.

▼Let’s put a few pictures at the end. The opacity of the keycaps leads to more lighting effects as ambient lights. It is low-key and not dazzling, and the effect is good. By the way, the keyboard battery is 6000mAH, which is relatively sufficient for mass-produced keyboards.

It is no exaggeration, the overall performance of Hubatu F75 can be regarded as the first echelon of mechanical keyboards that I have experienced recently. Compared with the previous generation H98, the appearance has been fine-tuned, and the overall design is a lot better, with a strong light luxury style. .

In terms of hardware, exclusive private model, Gasket structure, TFT color screen, full-key hot-swappable, TTC Neptune axis, full-color RGB, 6000mAh battery, and a wealth of accessories, simply put, it is necessary to design and stack materials. There is work to be done.

Finally, there is the price. It is not cheap to get 749 for the first launch, but considering the configuration and the addition of private models, it costs 1000 to start with a studio, and this is also the advantage of mass-produced keyboards from major manufacturers. As for whether it is worth it or not, it varies from person to person. If you like it, it is worth it if you need it.
