Key Words Key Words Chapter 56: Collect the three kings of volume, all of which are less than 500 yuan, 8 ultra-high cost-effective mechanical keyboards are recommended for purchase.

This year’s Double Eleven, the circle of mechanical keyboards is really popular. First of all, the three major winners of this year’s Double Eleven: Xinmeng X75, VGN’s V98/V98pro and Magic Geek’s M1 Aluminum Tuotuo Kit. In addition to them, there are also many products with very good cost performance on the market. In the previous 30,000-word article, I have already introduced some keyboards worth buying during Double Eleven.

This article is aimed at summarizing and sharing the keyboards I received/bought after the last article, to see which other keyboards are worth buying in the last few days of Double Eleven.

VGN sent the 399 ice cream pro shaft version to the UP masters for testing, so I bought the most basic V98 (cough cough, actually because it is the cheapest). What should I say after I get it... I'm a little surprised.

First of all, the smoothness of Numbani’s shaft body is quite good. I took it apart and looked at it. The spring is relatively long. Under the spring, the shaft center and guide rails are lubricated. Such a cheap keyboard has shaft lubrication. , Really conscience. The bottoming sound of this shaft is very loud, not at all the muffled sound that has been popular recently. Coupled with the Gasket structure PC positioning board, its sound is nice and crisp, but it is definitely not a real mahjong sound, just a simple plastic collision sound. The similar sound is very similar to Ai Shishi's FE series. In addition, he gave three Numbani shafts, so that if any one is hung up, they can be replaced directly. The plastic material of this shaft shell is average, the price and cost are normal.

As for the big keys, each one is perfect, no meat, no noise, very unexpected. The filling material is full, and there is also an under-axle pad, and the stacking king is well-deserved. There are no obvious burrs on the shell, but many corners are sharp, and it seems that the mold is average. Gasket structure, general deformation.

The keycap is made of closed ABS two-color, there may be no shading powder added. If you look carefully, except for the bright position of the characters, the entire upper part of the keycap is also transparent. But don’t panic, let’s not talk about the price. First of all, users who placed an order before 18 o’clock on the 2nd will have pudding keycaps for delivery, and it’s OK to replace them. After the 2nd... no.

The summary is that it is not perfect, but it exceeds expectations, and it is invincible within 200 yuan. After all, it is a hot item that sells 3W in a single day.

Oh, by the way, if you place an order now, it may take December to receive the goods. You should pay attention to this, and friends who are in a hurry should not choose it.

Remember the classic GK715 of Black Canyon? More than 2 years ago, when hot-swappable keyboards were not popular, GK715 became the "axis tester" of many people at an extremely low price. As far as the keyboard itself is concerned, the lowest price of less than 200 yuan can be used by Kaihua The BOX axis, especially the BOX red and BOX white are classics of a generation, which can be described as super value. Now, the replacement of GK715 is coming, that is the i series of Black Canyon.

The arrangement of the i series is relatively complete, i2~i5 are 83/87/99/104 keys respectively. The price ranges from 199 to 299 yuan. The biggest highlight is the use of an aluminum alloy shell, which is extruded from an aluminum ingot and sealed with ABS on both sides. Although it is not a real aluminum frame, it can only be regarded as an aluminum frame, but its texture still has obvious advantages in keyboards of the same price.

And this time the color matching with Black Canyon is also very coordinated. The blue-gray aluminum shell, black and gray keycaps, and yellow lettering make the whole style restrained and not monotonous. The keycaps are made of PBT, a bit like ASA height ball caps.

The switch body uses Kaihua’s scenery fast switch. The red-like Danxia fast switch and the Cangling fast switch with large paragraphs of sound are adjusted relatively lightly, and the typing experience is soft and comfortable. Among them, the Cangling Kuaishui switch is a torsion spring, and the sound similar to a ballpoint pen is also Kaihua's exclusive special switch body, and the other Cangmo switch is an advanced large paragraph switch body.

After the success of K75, K68 is also launched. It continues the design of K75, but it still makes a little change. First, the forehead and power display in the upper right corner are canceled. Secondly, although the USB HUB function is retained, a U port is cut. The mode switching knob is well received. Each Bluetooth channel has an independent gear. Compared with the mode switching of the K75, which requires fingernails, the K68 is directly changed to a knob design, which is beautiful and practical.

In terms of color matching, two classic K75 color schemes with good market response have been retained, and two new color schemes have been added, especially my extreme gray color scheme. This color scheme is really impressive.

The one in my hand is the flame purple switch. Compared with Kuaiyin, it feels a little smoother, and the sound is very good. Basically, it can be ranked in the forefront of the mass-produced Gasket. It feels light and soft when typing, and the sound is pleasant to the ear. Needless to say, the big keys, Kezhi and rk even have more than 100 keyboards are perfect big keys, let alone K68.

Arrangement still needs to be blown, ahem, boast, the arrow keys have been designed separately, it is indeed a little longer than the traditional 68, but the chance of accidental touch is much reduced, and there is room for the three indicator lights, Obviously more reasonable. Coupled with the PC positioning board itself, the weight of the entire keyboard is relatively light. I plan to use it to replace my previous CIY67 as a business trip keyboard in the future. After all, the three-mode keyboard is much more convenient and feels better.

Raytheon mainly promotes vic84 and zero keyboards this year, but K104 is actually a new product. This 199 keyboard is actually pretty good in terms of configuration, with PBT two-color keycaps, RGB backlight, hot-swappable shaft seats, and basically everything you need except for the three-mode keyboard. The appearance is also good, mine is a turquoise mint color, and there is an RGB light bar at the bottom.

The shaft body is made by Leitron, with good smoothness and average stability. This keyboard does not have any filling structure, that is, bottomless cotton and sandwich cotton, but the cavity itself is not too big, so the cavity sound is not good. obvious. The basic quality of the satellite shaft of the big key should be ok, but Raytheon only lubricated the space, so the percussion feeling of the space is quite good, but the steel wires of the other big keys are not lubricated, only the dummy shaft is oiled, press There is a rustling feeling, and I simply dealt with the big keys, and the overall situation is much better.

The brightness of the RGB backlight is very good, a variety of lighting effects can be adjusted, and the keycaps are not closed. Considering this price, PBT is also included, which is acceptable.

The general appearance of the keyboard with number area within 200 yuan is pure white or pure black. The two colors of this K104 are fresh and beautiful, the shaft body is smooth, and the configuration is equipped with other functions besides wireless. , this keyboard can be regarded as a good-looking choice for friends. If there is a need to change the keycaps, then some light blue and green keycaps are also suitable.

Looks like the discount kit has been discontinued? I don't know if I will be on it again in the future, if I don't, just treat it as me showing off. Wolfpai’s finished keyboards are not well-known, but several cheap kits are very popular in the circle, especially CIY68 and CIY67, the cheapest Gasket kit before, while CIY84 has been lukewarm. Until this year’s Double 11, CIY84 was directly sold for 99 yuan, so I bought it, and the color is naturally my favorite blue-green.

This kit is made with great care. Although it claims to be a shaft tester, the interior is fully filled, the big keys are also lubricated, and even the color of the silicone is consistent with the outer shell. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, and the bottom is made of plastic, with a certain color difference.

The ash wood switch V3, the king of cost performance, was bent by nearly 20 pins during the installation process, and I was also drunk. The final product is still good, although the 84 is too compact, but what kind of bicycle do you want for 99 yuan?

Although the big keys are lubricated, the steel wire sound is still touching. After a simple adjustment, it still doesn’t seem to work. I’m too lazy to turn over the grease. It's just the shaft tester level, and it's easy to use if it's well adjusted. The full set of shaft + kit + keycap costs over 200 yuan.

I knew it was a bit late for X75, and I frantically hinted at Xinmeng and our self-media, can I ship it in advance when I place an order, but they ignored me, but I asked him for a few pictures when I was writing a collection. Fortunately, the product arrived earlier than the expected delivery time, and it has been used for about 10 days. It is said that this model has already released a three-mode version.

Speaking of the keyboard itself, it is a bit beyond my expectation. The shell is made of acrylic material with good light transmittance, and the structure inside can be seen clearly at a glance. Thick white silicone pads, even grooved and engraved on the bottom. There are 7 I-shaped silicone on the upper and lower sides to fix the positioning plate, but why are there 7 instead of 8, asymmetrical? In theory, this structure is actually not stable, so in fact, more support of this keyboard comes from the thick silicone bottom pad at the bottom. The whole keyboard has a certain deformation space, but it is not too big.

The frosted PC keycaps on the inside feel better than Daryou or even Luofei. I would like to thank this keycap after turning on the light. What kind of LED light do you use in Xinmeng? It blinds my eyes, and the result is that I hardly dare to turn on the light of this keyboard in a dark environment, and I can only turn on one press to light up mode at most. There is only one lamp bead in the blank space, and three lamp beads in the three modules. The large keys perform well, basically at a perfect level.

I bought the version of the salt-ice shaft with a price increase of 20 yuan in the later period. The salt-ice shaft is a customized shaft of Xinmeng. The actual experience is not inferior to the Kaihua jellyfish shaft. The pressure is 43g, and it comes with factory lubrication. It is very smooth Yes, the percussion sound performance is also very good. If you don't plan to change the shaft later, I recommend this version of the shaft.

This keyboard was a bit controversial after it went on the market, please Baidu for details. There are two styles of this A81, which are very different from each other. Among them, the white version is a conventional keyboard design, and the black version is a black matte transparent shell + transparent PC keycap, the price is also 40 yuan more expensive, if it is not worth it from a practical point of view, the PC keycap feels not as good as the conventional PBT, and After turning on the backlight, it is basically difficult for friends who can't touch type to see the characters clearly. But appearance is productivity...

I don’t know what the sales strategy of this keyboard means. Before the 21st, more than 100 keyboards were pre-sold on JD.com… 60 to 70 keyboards in white and 70 keyboards in each. Bought the last handful of that batch in black.

The biggest highlight is the first mass-produced keyboard without a positioning board. It is customary to call it a steelless keyboard. Dareu named it Gasket with an elastic arm structure. The hand feel is indeed very soft and elastic, but because the Zijin Pro is used, the soft bottoming feeling is not obvious.

One more word about the Zijin switch. I bought 85 pieces from Xianyu before. It is a switch body between the regular light paragraph switch and the advanced large paragraph switch. The overall feel is still closer to the tea switch, but the paragraph is enlarged. a little bit.

In terms of configuration, the arrow keys are squeezed to the bottom of the carriage return, leaving no gap, but there is still a small front tooth on the left. On the right are three white indicator lights, the lights are just right. There is a white backlight under each axis body, and it is the lower light position, which is very bright and dazzles the eyes a little.

The adjustment of the large keys is almost perfect, better than the popular A98, but you will feel a little bit of resonance when you hit the backspace continuously. Because it is a transparent shell, you can see the whole structure without dismantling it. It is very thick white silicone Bottom pad, elastic arm structure, soft elastic feeling is very obvious.

The overall feel is quite comfortable. Except that the PC keycaps are really slippery and collect fingerprints, they are not as good as the keycaps of Xinmeng, but the light transmittance is very good, and the appearance value is higher than that of Xinmeng.

Slots about magic geeks. To put it simply, the kit is only black, and the white is spray paint, which is not recommended. The texture is average, but the weight of nearly 2Kg is still very heavy. It is a small modification made on the basis of the mold of the akko creator. Therefore, the magic geeks are not shy, and even use akko tape directly on the outer packaging.

There is a certain sense of cheapness in hand. Gasket structure, but there is no "ear" support on the left and right sides, resulting in obvious collapse on both sides, and insufficient filling inside, making it soft, but the sinking is a bit too much. When typing, I feel resonance with the shell. There is a problem with the knob, and there will be friction between the bottom and the shell when it is turned. There is no foot support on the back, the height is not adjustable, the front height is relatively high and the edge is relatively long, and the typing palm is always in contact with the front of the kit without the palm rest.

The advantage is that the cheapest Aluminum Tuo Tuo is Gasket, which can be greatly improved after adjustment. Among them, the big key is only oiled on the dummy shaft. After I got it, I specially added grease to the corner of the steel wire. Not bad, showing that the basic satellite axis is ok.

The switch body uses leobog’s smart switch, which is from the same brand as the gray wood switch V3, and the price is more expensive. The sound performance of this switch body itself is still good, so this kit does not need to be adjusted too much to have a mahjong sound. When typing The mahjong sound and the resonant sound at the edge of the kit... The trigger pressure of the smart axis is only 30g, but the touchdown is 45g, so the whole feeling is not much lighter than gold powder.

The keycaps were chosen for Virtual War, originally I just planned to choose a black keycap for the black kit, but by accident, this set of keycaps just happened to match this kit very well. Because this kit modified by Cool Creator adds brass-colored grooves on both sides, many people think this design is a bit ugly, but this set of keycaps happens to be in black, white, and yellow colors, and the side The brass color matches very well.

To sum up, if the budget is not particularly tight, it is still recommended to buy keychron’s Q1. The coupon 528 on the PDD still has a shaft, or the kits of Lao Xue and Lao Xiao are also better than the M1 in terms of texture. But just say that 399 wants to experience aluminum lumps, it is still worth it, remember to buy a matching hexagonal screwdriver when you place an order, and add a little padding to the bottom.

When I added the link, I suddenly found that the M1 has a pink model. I asked the customer service and confirmed that it was an anode and not a spray paint. I personally think it looks better than black.
