男人的小乐趣 篇一百五十六：我的桌面客制化新宠，Keychron Q2体验不错。

Hello everyone, I am Teacher Lin, and we meet again.

▲For many MAC users, if you happen to be a mechanical keyboard user, then I believe that more or less you know Keychron, a relatively well-known high-end keyboard peripheral manufacturer in the MAC circle, and Keychron is quite influential in foreign keyboard circles. Fame and status, but it is not very photogenic in China. In fact, Keychron is a genuine domestic company. More domestic users only know that an e-commerce giant is an OEM, but they do not know Keychron. In fact, the keyboards of an early e-commerce giant are basically OEM Keychron.

▲And just recently started Keychron's customized keyboard Q2, and this time Q2 still continues Keychron's own characteristics, such as all-aluminum alloy frame, Jiadalong shaft body, with knob buttons and so on. At the same time, it still supports QMK VIA open source system reconstruction, dual GASKET structure, built-in 1000HZ chip, and for keychron's housekeeping ability, it perfectly supports MAC and WIN systems.

Keychron Q2 adopts 65% all-metal arrangement. In addition to selling finished keyboards, Keychron also supports the purchase of kits. If you like this kit and DIY your own feel, then the texture of Q2 is still very suitable.

The only small regret is that Keychron Q2 still maintains a wired connection and does not support wireless. If this version is improved, I believe this is a very worthwhile small configuration keyboard.

▲The Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard adopts a new color scheme, which are black and gray, and the most classic and my personal favorite Klein blue. Not surprisingly, the keychron still uses Jiadalong’s G-pro basic popular switches, after all, Keychron has been cooperating with Jiadalong for a long time before, and both switches are equipped with Jiadalong's phantom switches (green switches, brown switches, and red switches can be selected).

▲Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard belongs to the mainstream design in other configurations, such as support for open source system to change keys, double Gasket mid-suspension design, CNC aluminum body, tool kit for changing shafts, Jiadalong shaft, south direction 13 kinds of RGB lighting effects, noise-reducing cotton interlayer, support MAC and Windows one-key switching. Screw satellite shaft and so on.

The only regret is that it does not support wireless Bluetooth or 2.4G. However, this design is mainly due to the all-metal structure of Q2. But having said that, many Altuotuo now support wireless connection, it is a bit unreasonable that Q2 does not support it.

▲Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard is equipped with MAC keycap arrangement as standard. If you are a Windows user, you can replace it with Windows arrangement after unpacking. The only keyboard products with MAC keycaps I have used are Yuemi. There are Keychron products. And Keychron is standard for all series of products.

▲The Windows and MAC switching button on the side can directly switch between Windows and MAC with one key. This design is very convenient for the needs of dual system users.

▲Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard is a 65% all-metal customized keyboard, so each switch body, keycap, and even satellite switch of this keyboard can be customized for your own unique experience, except I want more playability besides typing needs. For example, you can DIY the shaft body, you can replace your favorite keycaps, etc., and even come with screws, screwdrivers and other tools at random.

▲In terms of casing, the overall casing of the Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard is designed with 6063 all-aluminum manufacturing, using CNC integrated engraving technology, multi-channel polishing, anodizing, spraying treatment, and 24 processes in the whole process to make Keychron Q2 customized The shell performance of the mechanical keyboard is very good in terms of feel and texture.

▲It is emphasized here that the knob of Q2 adopts a welded structure, and it is not recommended to disassemble and replace it. If you need a nameplate, you can buy the QMK version, and this knob is mainly used to control the volume knob, which is very convenient for home entertainment and listening to music.

▲Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard, in order to have a better feel when using it, adopts the popular Gasket structure inside, and the design of the internal suspension design, but the same Gasket structure, the adjustment of each company is different, just the feel , Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard can still be selected with confidence.

When using Q2, it gives a very good typing experience with Q bombs. The maximum bounce space is 2.5MM, and you won't feel tired when using your fingers for a long time. You can see that the fingers have some rebound. Effectively reduces the noise of the keyboard.

▲The red switch of Jiadalong has always been complained by people that it feels like the green switch, but this time Jiadalong has improved a lot, at least it will not be complained by me about the poor feel. This time, the G-Pro shaft developed by Jiadalong is lubricated before leaving the factory, and there will not be too much swing during use, giving users a more comfortable and stable feel.

The G-pro red switch, G-pro green switch and brown switch all support 5000W key life. The 4mm key stroke is matched with the trigger pressure of 45g and 60g. The red switch feels lighter. Among the three switches, the tea The trigger pressure of the axis is 55g, which is between the red axis and the blue axis. It depends on the user's choice.

▲Q2 adopts the mainstream hot-swappable design, supports 3-pin and 5-pin shafts to adapt to more positioning boards, in addition to the built-in Jiadalong shaft that can be plugged and replaced, the built-in Jiadalong satellite The shaft also supports replacement, which supports more personalized user shaft replacement needs.

▲The LED lighting used by Keychron Q2 this time is also different from other keyboards. The RGB lighting we see every day is basically a north-facing design, but this time Keychron uses a south-facing design patch RGB lighting. The advantage of this design is that it is more suitable for keyboards. With some PBT light-transmitting keycaps, and some opaque customized keycaps and so on.

▲In addition to the above configurations, Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard also fully supports QMK and VIA, users can easily program each key of the keyboard, open source firmware means more personalized configuration, more Shortcut keys, backlight effects, wider playability.

In fact, QMK and VIA are not complicated. Keychron's keyboards basically support them. Keyboards that support QMK and VIA can easily program each key. Open-source firmware means that the keyboard layout, shortcut keys, and backlight effects can all be customized.

With VIA, you can customize each button, and even combine portable macro buttons for the buttons you want on your Q2. VIA not only supports Windows, but also supports MAC OS and Linux systems, but you need to pay attention to the use of open source modifications to the default system. Overwrite, it is not a big problem if it fails, you can flash back the official firmware. Playability is still very good.

▲Because the Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard does not support wireless, it can only occupy my few USB ports. However, the Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard does not come with a free aviation plug this time. It is a little regrettable, but it is included The cable used is the CTC interface, and an additional USBA interface is included, which is convenient for direct use on notebooks or desktops.

▲I haven’t used a keyboard with wires for a long time, and I’m not used to it. Keychron Q2 customized mechanical keyboard

With its own ergonomic R angle, most people can get started directly, and those who have higher requirements for comfort can be equipped with a wrist rest.

▲As far as the habit of coding is concerned, the time to adapt is very fast. The two switches I usually use most are the red switch and the silver switch of Cherry. When I change my habit of using the red switch of Jiadalong, There is not much difference in the trigger feel, but the phantom switch of Jiadalong will be crisper.

▲KeychronQ2 supports a variety of lighting effects. It is very cool to turn it on at night. Of course, it also supports turning off, but it is a wired keyboard. Don’t worry about battery life, it can be turned on all the time.

▲ There is nothing to be picky about the design of Keychron Q2’s customized mechanical keyboard. Although it is a small design, if your desktop is not very spacious, you can consider this small and exquisite Q2, but the fly in the ointment is the lack of wireless.

▲ In terms of workmanship, Keychron's all-metal is indeed a lot of points. It is full of weight, and it will not be stained with fingerprints. There is really nothing to say in terms of hand feel. Students may still prefer the stability of wired connections, so will the future Q2 support tri-mode?

Such a customized product with obvious advantages and disadvantages, as a consumer, will you pay for it? I am looking forward to the three-mode version of Q2. This is a perfect customized product. What do you guys think?

Finally, let me show you my desktop. I'm Teacher Lin, see you next time!
