Key Words Key Words Chapter 49: Replaced with the mass-produced ceiling-level ice cream Pro shaft, this time the Black Canyon Y3 has been completely reborn

The Black Canyon Y series was launched as a brand flagship during 618 this year. From design to stacking, it can basically be regarded as a full configuration level. Needless to say, three-mode, RGB, hot-swappable, etc., the Gsaket structure is full of filling The pure white color scheme, which is relatively rare now, is also a bright spot. However, the Y series has been in a tepid state so far. There are many reasons, but I personally think that the most important thing is that while the entire kit and keycaps have reached the first-class level of mass production, the matching shaft lacks highlights.

Although the original Danxia, ​​Cangling, and Yanmo shafts have their own characteristics, we all know that the relationship between Black Canyon and Kaihua is extraordinary, and Kaihua obviously did not provide enough equipment for the Y series. shaft. Apparently, Black Canyon seems to have seen this too. Therefore, in the latest Y series, three optional axes will be added, namely the linear axis Cream pro, the quietest linear mute axis Deep Sea pro, and the Yelan pro. Silent linear shaft.

Next, let's see how the Black Canyon Y3 with the cream pro shaft that I just received performs.

The recent packaging boxes of Black Canyon are all designed with this simple element + a lot of text, and the various selling points of the product are also reflected in the A side of the packaging.

The white keyboard itself is not a new product, and many friends should already be familiar with it. In terms of accessories, in addition to USB cables and large hand rests, there are also constellation and zodiac cards.

Those born in the 1980s who grew up as snacks and crispy noodle cards are very familiar with this kind of activity. Black Canyon’s keyboard randomly sends a constellation card and a zodiac card. If you collect all 12 constellations or 12 zodiac signs, you will get a gift. But in other words, even if it is the European Emperor, if one is not heavy, you have to buy 12 keyboards to integrate it. I don’t know if there will be friends going to Xianyu to collect cards in the future.

One more thing to say is that although the USB cable that Black Canyon sent this time is not as cool as the aviation plug cable, it is indeed the softest USB cable I have ever used. And the key puller and shaft puller of Black Canyon are also very, very easy to use. This shaft puller can also handle the hot-swapping of sockets that are generally not easy to pull out.

Keyboards with palm rests are Black Canyon’s tradition. From the X series to the Y series, the quality of the palm rests is getting better and better. The palm rests of the Y series are magnetic, and the surface is skin-like, and the touch is very delicate. And because I use Y5 in my unit, it is measured that it will not be too easily contaminated with oil after long-term use.

The palm rest and the back of the keyboard are densely covered with banana anti-slip mats. The data cable is a three-way outlet design with a 2.4G receiver groove and two-stage feet.

The 2.4G receiver also has its own characteristics. It is Black Canyon's unique U+C double-head design, which is very practical when connecting to notebooks and mobile phones. In particular, even the mobile phone does not need Bluetooth, it is very convenient to directly plug in and use it.

These two buttons are switch buttons for switching between 2.4G and Bluetooth. You can directly click to switch between different modes. When connecting to different Bluetooth devices, the color of the circle of lights outside the Bluetooth will also change, but the label is changed to a sticker design. , if you tear off the sticker, there will be no prompt.

Compared with the previous test version of 618, the 2.4G and Bluetooth marks were directly sprayed on the button. I still prefer the previous design. Now I always want to tear off this sticker.

The power display window and the expression indicator light are relatively distinctive designs. Among them, the problem of the power window, some people think it is practical and some people think it is ugly, different people have different opinions. Personally, as a party of endurance anxiety, I think it is a blessing.

It has to be said that at the moment when this theme keycap is popular, this kind of pure white keyboard is really getting less and less.

The keyboard switch is a slider design, which is very practical and has a good hand feel. The only thing I have to complain about is that dialing it back is the power on, and pushing it forward is the keypad. I always feel that this logic is reversed.

As soon as the light is on, the overall appearance is improved again. And, the keycaps of the Y series are one of the best light-transmitting keycaps on mass-produced keyboards. The details will be introduced later.

When you want to match a desktop with a set of white peripherals, white keyboards and white mice are relatively rare species at present, after all, black is the mainstream of peripherals.

The palm rest feels quite good, and I personally prefer this kind of hard palm rest, not to mention that the y-series palm rest is also very skin-friendly.

The small expression is an ice blue light, which achieves moderate brightness and is not dazzling. The battery window is in blue characters, which matches the overall style, but it may look better if the words are thinner, and the entire black frame affects the aesthetics.

The unique keycap in mass production, light blue + white two-color keycap, the light transmittance is very good, and the characters look like a dark blue closed mouth. The height of the keycap is similar to the ball cap of SA height, which feels good, but the contact area with the finger is slightly smaller than the height of the original factory. The surface is a bit skin-like matte. Overall, both the appearance and workmanship are very good.

Next comes the main event, the ice cream pro shaft. This switch is the latest upgrade of Kaihua, and it has a very good reputation. Unlike other switches, the dustproof wall of Ice Cream Pro is round.

The milky white keycap looks a bit like cream ice cream. Kaihua's name is engraved on the side of the switch body, which is the same design as the ice mint switch used before.

Ice cream pro is made of nylon material, which has self-lubricating effect. In fact, it can be seen that the lubricant inside the shaft body is used very little, and the whole structure is also Kaihua’s classic BOX design. There is a green plastic touch on the outside. point.

Open the cover of the box, and there is a horizontal push rod structure inside. The advantage is that it is dustproof and waterproof, which can greatly increase the life of the shaft body. The disadvantage is that the cost is slightly higher.

On the left is the most popular Kuaiyin V2 recently. The springs of the two are about the same length, and the Kuaiyin is thicker and has a double-stage spring. The spring of the Cream pro shaft is a little thinner. But in terms of actual experience, it does not have the rebound feeling of the top hand like the Quicksilver V2, while the ice cream pro shaft is relatively soft, and the rebound is fast enough.

In terms of experience, Kuaiyin's rebound is more powerful, while Ice Cream Pro is relatively balanced and soft, and the actual experience of sound has obvious advantages over Kuaiyin V2.

Ice Cream Pro uses a five-legged shaft body, which makes the connection more stable and reduces unnecessary vibration.

The Y series uses a perforated PC positioning board to make the percussion sound better and the feedback softer. This keyboard has a Gasket structure, but it is obviously a hard gas. Although it will deform when pressed down, it is still hard when typing. The feel of the positioning board.

The silicone sandwich pad inside the keyboard and the bottom noise-absorbing pad are fully filled.

The positioning plate with good light transmittance and the white silicone sandwich pad make the keyboard light look more beautiful.

The cream pro shaft made of nylon and the Gasket of the PC positioning board are really a perfect match. The bottoming feedback is very comfortable and very textured. The smoothness of the shaft body can reach nearly full marks, without any wire sound, the consistency is good, and the shaft center is very stable.

The level of the large key is close to perfect. I actually saw that the black canyon set of satellite shafts does not put much grease, but the entire large key is neat and clean, and there is no sensuality. If you listen carefully, there will be a slight steel wire sound, and the other big keys are at a perfect level. A total of 95 points can be given.

The new version of the Cream pro shaft on the market now costs more than 4 yuan to buy, and the price increase of the Y series is not much. The pre-sale price of Y2 with 82 configurations is 669 yuan, 87 configurations is 709 yuan, and 108 configurations is 799 yuan. Compared with the previous version, the price increase is not much, so it is indeed very cost-effective to buy a Y-series keyboard with ice cream pro switches.

After matching with the new switch body, the feel of the entire keyboard is obviously provided another level, and Ice Cream Pro can also be regarded as a well-deserved mass-produced linear switch ceiling (not counting the switch body that is only used for customization). After completing the short board of the shaft, the user experience of the Y series has been significantly improved, and it is more worthy of recommendation. This is the level that a flagship should have.

The Y series of the new axis body has been pre-sold on the 21st, you can pay the deposit, pay the final payment at 18:00 on the 27th, and ship at 23:00 on September 30, so that it can be used during the eleventh period.
