Key Words Key Words Chapter 28: Throwing another bomb, Royal Axe Y68 mechanical keyboard, he said: Unstoppable

Remember the Royal Ax R series mechanical keyboard in April this year? The initial price ranges from 399 yuan to 499 yuan, full-key hot-swappable + ball cap + RGB + gold powder switch, so far, the retail price of second-hand keycaps, kits and switches of the Royal Axe R series on the market is still higher than The initial price shows how terrifying its price/performance ratio is.

And this year's 618, Royal Ax took advantage of the victory to pursue, the R series not only restored the initial price, but also launched 87 configurations to complete the product line of configurations. More importantly, this time he launched a brand new Y68 series, which provides a total of four colors this time, and the one I received is the red and blue color keyboard named Nomad.

Same as the previous R series, it still uses a double-layer packaging box. The difference is that the outer packaging box of the Y series uses black as the main color, and the appearance of the entire keyboard is printed on the box, which looks cooler. .

Like the previous R series, four gold dust switches were given away. In fact, I was wondering why the box of this 68 keyboard was so long. It turned out that the boxes on both sides were full of accessories.

All the accessories of Y68 include a key puller, a shaft puller, four replacement gold dust shafts, raised replacement feet, a dust cover and an aviation plug-in cable. It is really full of customized elements. Generally, the cheapest aviation plug-in cable is about 50 yuan if you buy it yourself.

It really is - full of sincerity.

Now let’s talk about the appearance of the Y68. This time, there are four color schemes in this series. This red and blue color scheme is named No. 1 Wanderer. It should be said that mass-produced mechanical keyboards with similar color schemes are very rare. The key is that they match well, and the red and blue matches are very coordinated.

The mode fluctuation knob may become the representative element of the Royal Axe brand. This time, the switch of the Y68 is more textured. The metal outer frame has a very high level of overall paint and a little texture, which is really a finishing touch.

The Royal Axe did not equip this keyboard with a ball cap, but the same two-color injection molded PBT keycap, the texture on it is very skin-friendly and comfortable, and it is hard to put it down when you touch it.

The metal edging design on the side is another highlight of this keyboard. Also printed on it is the English word meaning unstoppable. Coupled with three hollow nets, this design is really cool.

There is another important element of customization on the back, the large metal nameplate. The brand LOGO of Royal Ax is full of texture.

Keyboards with similar designs often do not have adjustable feet, so Yufu directly gave you a set of heightened feet, allowing users to choose the tilt angle of the keyboard without damaging the overall aesthetics of the keyboard.

Replaced with the royal ax Y68 after the heightened feet.

This time, it looks even cooler because of the textured mode switch button.

It has to be said that in terms of appearance, the Y68 this time can be regarded as the first echelon of mass-produced keyboards.

When it came to the desktop, Y68 really became a beautiful scenery. In addition, the red and blue color scheme and the English on the side are very classic Mario style.

Like the R series, the English name of the royal axe is printed on the side facing the user, and stripes are added to make the overall appearance more sense of design and layering. The bottom right corner is printed with Never stop fighting.

From my personal habit of not using a wrist rest, I still prefer to use the Y68 with a high foot support.

On the back is the power switch, 2.4G receiver and type-C interface.

Traditional 2.4G receivers are basically black or white, and the blue receiver with the same frame as the keyboard is also very eye-catching.

It is still the TTC gold powder switch V2 that we are familiar with, which is smooth to press and has a strong rebound. It is an upgraded version of the representative domestic God switch gold powder switch V1, which is more stable and durable in quality.

This time, the Y68 supports 250 hours of battery life with the lights off and 10 hours of battery life with the lights on. The lighting effect is very good, and it supports the exclusive driver of the Royal Axe to modify the key settings and lighting.

Because of the existence of a frame of equal width around it, the Royal Axe can put three power indicator lights in the upper right corner this time, which is more convenient to use than most similar compact mechanical keyboards.

The two-color injection molded PBT keycap mentioned above is extremely comfortable to the touch this time.

Of course, there is no shortage of hot-swappable shaft seats. It supports tripod shafts and five-pod shafts. There are also interlayer sound-proof silicone and bottom-layer sound-absorbing cotton inside.

The dust-proof mat in the blank position of the R series is also well preserved.

The appearance, workmanship, and materials are all right, so how does it feel?

The first thing to say is that the metal corner protector actually greatly improves the hand feel. While it increases the weight of the entire keyboard, it also greatly offsets the vibration when pressing the keys, which improves the hand feel to a certain extent. Coupled with the thick-edged shell design this time, the overall feel consistency of this keyboard is very good.

The large keys are even better than the R series. All the large keys have no steel wire sound + clean rebound, and there is a thumping sound after the space hits the bottom.

Just like the English word on the side of Y68, as a new brand, Royal Axe's rise is really unstoppable. From the R series with excellent feel and high cost performance, to the Y68 with full design and outstanding feel, it is foreseeable that it is another successful product.

As an 11-year-old key player, I am pleased to see the great progress of domestic keyboards in just two years. I also hope that domestic manufacturers will continue to work hard and bring more good-looking and easy-to-use mechanical keyboards to consumers. .
