Key Words Key Words Chapter 65: Royal Axe L98 Mechanical Keyboard, the Rabbit Switch RGB Version is the first release, this is a good keyboard that has nothing to do with cost performance

Yufu L98 mechanical keyboard, the first rabbit axis RGB version, this is a good keyboard that has nothing to do with cost performance

Regarding the L series of Yufu, I have recommended it in the Double Eleven collection before. At that time, I recommended the L75, because that is the only keyboard in the whole brand of Yufu with a separate F area. For those who need to press the F area blindly Friends are very helpful. But recently I received a L98 from Yufu, and it is equipped with TTC’s new zodiac axis this year, the rabbit axis RGB version. The price of 1299 yuan is 400 yuan more expensive than the basic RGB axis version of the heart of the giant, so this keyboard is obviously not cost-effective. However, the mechanical keyboard itself is what you pay for, and you get what you pay for, and the feel and appearance of the rabbit switch this time are quite worth talking about.

In view of the fact that I have not carefully evaluated the L series with long pictures and texts before, let's start from the beginning.

First of all, it is still accessories, supplementary keycaps for large keys and direction keys, independent shaft puller, key puller, aviation plug-in cable of the same color as the keyboard, four replacement shafts, dust cover, and royal axe starting from the R series , the accessories are extremely rich, and can even give people a little surprise. I personally think that sharp white and blue are the most beautiful among the three colors of the L series.

The Rabbit Switch RGB version adopts the design of white axis, countless transparent bottom shells and peach-colored top cover, but this picture is cast into orange under the sunlight.

The keyboard is wrapped around the design. I don’t know if it will accumulate dust after using it for a long time, but the whole design has a strong sense of hierarchy. The left and right sides are colored with diagonal stripes. Clearly, when in the wired position, if the USB cable is not connected, the keyboard will be turned off by default.

There is also an independent power switch on the left front, a 2.4G receiver storage compartment and a type-C interface, which are located under a metal decorative strip.

The workload of evaluating the L series is less than that of ordinary keyboards. After all, the structure of this keyboard is almost impossible to disassemble without damage. Each hemming module fits perfectly, there is no margin, no shaking, and the seams are even. The mold precision of the whole set of keyboards is very good.

No matter how you look at the price of the L series, as far as the appearance and workmanship of the product itself is concerned, there should be no more than three mainland mechanical keyboard brands that can reach this level by pinching my fingers.

The metal nameplate on the back is still marked with the brand, product model and the shaft used.

The 1.14-inch TFT small screen makes the appearance of the L98 very recognizable, and it also occupies the space of the F area. The ESC and 12 F-area buttons are squeezed together. In actual operation, you can rely on the color separation to quickly locate the one you want to press. F area button. After all, the most commonly used buttons in the F area, F1 and F5, are on the edge of the color, and it is not bad after I get used to it.

What kind of impact this layout has on the use actually depends on the user himself. Not everyone will care, but in the eyes of those who care, this layout is indeed an obvious shortcoming.

Although it is the upper light position, although the keycap is opaque, and although the sandwich part is made of dark gray silicone, the RGB light of the L98 is very bright and can be seen clearly during the day.

The highlight of the keyboard here, well, the reason why it is 400 yuan more expensive is that it uses TTC’s latest RGB version of the rabbit axis this year. In fact, TTC's silent red V3 has always had a good reputation. It is not the quietest among the silent switches on the market, but the feel is definitely in the forefront.

So let’s talk about the strength first and then the appearance. I will directly compare the Mute Red V3 and the Rabbit axis RGB version. When the two axes come together, well, it goes without saying.

First of all, from the perspective of quietness, the mute effect of the rabbit switch is better. When you press both, you can hear the sound of friction between the guide rail and the shaft center and the outer wall, but the rustling sound of the mute red V3 is more obvious, and the rabbit switch is quieter. , the sound is also more muffled, and there is a feeling of thicker material.

Both have a dust-proof wall structure. When I press the edge of the axis with my fingers and release the axis halfway, the sound of the spring can be clearly heard in the Mute Red V3, while the rabbit axis only has a slight impact when the axis returns. Sound, no metallic noise at all.

Next, let’s take a look at the internal structure of the Rabbit Axis. Let’s not talk about advertising words or anything else. Let’s search for a large set. Compared with TTC’s own Mute Red V3, which has a good evaluation, it is crushed in terms of appearance and texture. Let’s just discuss it. The structure of the lower rabbit shaft itself. First of all, the rabbit shaft is a five-legged shaft, and the pins are silver-plated for anti-oxidation.

Like the Giant's Heart and the Love Axis, the Rabbit Axis is known as the Lego Structure Axis, which consists of 9 parts. However, because some modules are glued and locked with each other, they can only be disassembled to the following level, including the shrapnel. It cannot be disassembled.

A one-piece spring is used, and the TTC spring has always been so thick, so the rebound is as good as ever. There is a silicone ring in the middle of the white shaft. The function of this part is to complete the cushioning after the contact between the shaft and the upper cover when the shaft is reset.

In addition to adding a small rabbit module on one side of the frosted peach pink top cover, TTC is engraved on the top of the other side, and Guimao is engraved on the side, because this year is the Year of the Rabbit. The transparent bottom shell is crystal clear, and the light transmittance is much better than the transparent top cover of the ordinary version of the TTC shaft.

As for how to realize the mute when bottoming out, different companies have different ideas for making mute switches. Some add shock-absorbing rubber feet at the bottom of the guide rail, while the rabbit switch and the mute red V3 are added in the hole where the bottom case and the center of the shaft are in contact. Silicone pad. I think this solution is better, because the shock-absorbing foot structure is easy to deform if it is repeatedly pressed for a long time, while the axial shock-absorbing structure does not have such a problem, and its durability will be better.

In addition, the rabbit switch is designed with an extended axis, the total key travel is 3.5mm, the trigger key travel is 1.2mm, and the trigger pressure is 42g. The data is similar to that of Kuaiyin V2. It has a certain game orientation, and the pressure is slightly lower than the conventional red switch. There is a thin layer of lubricating oil on the shaft and guide rail, but there is no oil on the spring.

The bunny on the top cover is embedded in a single plastic module. If you look closely, you can see that the bunny has a certain thickness. Therefore, the Rabbit shaft has reached a very extreme level in terms of the shaft itself and the appearance.

At least compared to those customized axes that cost seven or eight yuan to change the shell, it is really very content. It can also be said that the rabbit switch is the best silent switch I have used so far.

In terms of axis stability, it can also be ranked in the forefront.

But is it worth the price? I can only say that the pricing power rests with the brand, and the purchase choice rests with consumers. This is a two-way selection process, right?

The RGB light bar of Yufu is definitely the finishing touch design. Compared with some products that sway the light pollution wantonly, the light bar of Yufu is very restrained, and at the same time, it uses a black circle around it to suppress the RGB light.

Especially when used at night, the atmosphere is restrained and unassuming. Including the transparent PC positioning board, it also plays a certain role in blurring the RGB lights under the axis.

Although it cannot be disassembled, it can be seen from the exploded view of the internal structure that the Gasket buffer structure is realized by strip-shaped silicone spacers.

In addition, the PC positioning board has been slotted, so the keyboard with silicone as the elastic material has a large sink space, which is not inferior to many keyboards with pron structure. Coupled with the cushioned bottoming texture of the rabbit switch itself, the feedback of this keyboard is quite soft and not overly sensual when typing.

The ASA-height two-color ball cap is very good. The surface is finely frosted, and the characters have no obvious concave-convex feeling. The front of the keycap is slightly concave and feels comfortable.

The color screen can display the time, power and mode on a daily basis, and the screen brightness and effect are good.

The screen content supports customization and supports gif, but generally the upload speed of gif images is very slow. You can share your own screens on the driver, or you can directly use screen content uploaded by others. The software support is relatively complete.

However, when the screen and RGB backlight are all turned on, the power of the L98 in wireless mode drops very fast.

Compared with the previous R series and Y series, the large keys of the L series use a new satellite switch, but because of the use of a silent switch, you can hear a little steel wire sound when you hit it hard. I think the royal ax can be considered to be increased during manufacturing. The amount of grease for the satellite shaft, or use a grease with a higher viscosity.

First of all, regardless of the price, as long as you can accept its two shortcomings of the F area and the fast power-off when the screen is turned on, this Royal Axe L98 is definitely a keyboard with a very good comprehensive experience, regardless of the feel, appearance or workmanship. It is domestic first-class standard. And the RGB version of the rabbit switch is indeed the top-level silent switch in China. The price of 1299 yuan is also one of the more expensive domestic brand mechanical keyboards.

In fact, none of the non-aluminum keyboards at the thousand yuan level can talk about cost performance. It is nothing more than what it contains, and whether you recognize and pay for its uniqueness. The market is improving, the brand is improving, and consumers are also improving. Just rationally weigh the price, product strength and your own preferences, and finally make a reasonable purchase choice.

An evaluation of 2700 words without dismantling ends here, I hope I have analyzed its advantages and disadvantages clearly.
