Lao Zhang’s Brief Commentary Chapter 18: The 84 Arrived Although Late--Rapoo V700-8A Multi-mode Mechanical Keyboard Unboxing

The key ring is getting more and more curly nowadays. If any company does not play some structural tricks on the keyboard, it feels a bit outdated. However, among many manufacturers, Rapoo seems to be unfazed by these, and insists on following its own route, constantly updating various wireless peripherals. Rapoo only started to work when various keycaps were overwhelming, and now various configurations are emerging in endlessly. , Rapoo finally couldn't hold back anymore, and recently brought you the V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard, 84-key layout, and almost a new design language, come and take a look with me.

The Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard provides a total of three colors: Lonely Brave, No Man’s Land and Mecha Purple. Except for Mecha Purple, other colors have a retro taste. The light LOGO can also better increase the recognition. This small design makes the whole keyboard look less monotonous, and it can also provide a convenient charging indicator.

The keyboard packaging still uses the family-style design language with blue border and black background design, which is concise and clear, and also has a high degree of recognition. The accessories are also the same as the old four: manual, a C-port data cable, 2.4G wireless receiver and A plastic key puller.

The size of the keyboard is about 310mm×120mm×35mm, and the weight is about 787g. It is full of weight and feels solid when you just get started. Most of the 84 are ground-covered shells, but the Pennefather V700-8A keyboard adopts a floating + narrow frame design, which makes it look more simple and capable in terms of appearance, and it is relatively more convenient to clean in daily use.

Although the frame of the Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard adopts the aluminum alloy frame with sandblasting and oxidation process, CNC trimming, the visual texture level is obviously improved, and the details of the rounded corners + top bevel are also in place. But it is a pity that the surprise is only the frame, not the entire bottom case.

The design of the bottom shell is also very simple. In addition to the standard two-stage foot support that can bring different input angles to the keyboard, there is only a wireless switch at the bottom of the keyboard, and there is no place for storing the 2.4G receiver. It's a pity that the receiver will not be lost just by storing the receiver alone.

The wireless switch and the data cable interface of the Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard are not put together. The wireless switch is at the bottom of the keyboard, and the USB Type-C interface is designed on the left side of the top. There is a small concave at the interface. The design is convenient for blind plug-in operation. At the same time, FN+1234 is a switch between different wireless modes. 1, 2, and 3 represent 3 Bluetooth channels, which can be connected to different Bluetooth devices and switched. FN+4 will switch to 2.4 G wireless mode, FN+5 is to switch to wired mode, multiple connections, whether it is office or game, can be easily held in various scenes.

Unfortunately, the Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard does not support hot-swappable design. It is equipped with a Rapoo independent switch body. I started with the red switch version. Cardiac stability is considered average in the involuted shaft circle. The satellite axis adjustment of the large key position has also improved relatively, and there is no obvious looseness.

In terms of keycaps, the Rapoo V700-8A uses a set of OEM-height ABS translucent two-color injection keycaps. Although it is an open character, it does not affect the use. The surface texture of the keycaps has a slightly matte texture, which is comfortable and dry to the touch. Much better than skin-like coatings.

The Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard is also equipped with a wealth of combination key functions. This time, the keys are not directly marked like previous products. There are only connection icons on the 1~5 keys. It is the first time to use the Rapoo For the product, you need to refer to the manual for more memory. Fn+F1~F11 can realize webpage control and multimedia control, Fn+F12 can switch between Win/Mac systems, Fn+right Ctrl key can adjust the backlight mode, and Fn+direction keys can adjust Light frequency and brightness.

In addition to the hidden buckle fixing of the keyboard frame, there is also black glue inside the frame to strengthen the fixation. The keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, which can provide continuous use for 25-225 hours of battery life after being fully charged.

Rapoo's V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard is a multi-mode mechanical keyboard with 75% of the payment launched by Rapoo. Although it is not in place, the simple shape, practical configuration, and multi-mode connection are all arranged. I believe that the follow-up products will be gradually arranged for those that have not been realized this time. Although it is late, it will arrive. Generally speaking, the Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard is still worth trying.
