Little pleasures for men Article 165: How to buy a mechanical keyboard for Double 11, Dareu these online celebrity keyboards are worth buying

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

▲In recent years, various customized keyboards have started to release new products. For the old peripheral manufacturer Dareu, it is also a year of new products. In addition to the early A87, A84, A98, A100, etc., Dareu has recently Released the new A87 PRO, A84 PRO, A81 and other new products.

▲If you are familiar with the A98 of Dareu, I am not surprised at all. After all, the last keyboard sold by Dareu this year is this A98, which has extended multiple configurations, wired version, capacitor version, and three-mode version. In fact, except for the A98 , Dareu’s A84, A84 PRO, and the latest A81 are all very implanted. Following in the footsteps of Mr. Lin, let us see which keyboard we can consider buying for this Double 11.

▲ Dareu A84 Riding the Wind and Waves keyboard adopts TTC switch body, supports four main switch bodies of moon white, fast silver, gold powder, and flame red switch bodies. Very light, more suitable for female users.

▲The main hardware parameters of A84 are three-mode connection, 84-column layout, built-in 2000mAh lithium battery configuration, support for one-key switching between MAC and Windows systems, support for hot-swappable switches, support for RGB backlight and various lighting effects. In terms of product accessories, there are still data cables, shaft pullers, manuals, switching between MAC and Windows, switching between lighting effects, and instructions for using key combinations. I am using a 68-arrangement keyboard now, and the palm rest is about the same length as the A84. It can be seen that the layout of this A84 is very compact, and compared with the 68-arrangement keyboard, the extra F-key area is also more for ease of use.

▲Thanks to the technical precipitation of the A87 keyboard, Dareu is fully fired on the A84. The PBT keycap makes this ride the wind and waves full of firepower, and the backspace key rides the wind and waves is particularly conspicuous. At the same time, the Enter key is designed as Never Give Up, which is also very visually impactful.

▲ Dareu is quite confident in its own magnetic adsorption palm rest. Several recent products have adopted this design, and the principle is relatively simple. You can adjust the tilt angle of the keyboard by turning the suction cup of the palm rest to adapt to different keyboards. The palms of the crowd are high and low.

▲The rotation angle can be easily adjusted, but this adjustment only supports one height adjustment, which is equivalent to the support of this A84 keyboard with a one-piece foot support.

The keyboard made of PBT dye-sublimation material also avoids the phenomenon of oiling for a long time. The only thing is that this keycap is not a light-transmitting keycap, which is a little regrettable. Pull off the keycap and you can see this famous TTC fast silver switch keycap. The linear switch body with 100 million times is still very powerful. The TTC fast silver switch is easy to accidentally touch when you first use it, because the starting pressure is 45±4gf. , so after getting used to it, it will not be too tiring to code for a long time.

▲In recent years, hot-swappable switches are very popular. Many students who like DIY like to buy their favorite kits, and then DIY a keyboard that suits their own feel or game use, giving more playability in the later stage.

▲In addition to supporting wired connections, Dareu A84 also supports wireless connections, 2.4G Bluetooth, which can be connected to notebooks and desktops, and can be used to switch between different devices using function buttons.

▲Although Dareu A84 is not equipped with a light-transmitting keyboard, it retains the RGB backlight. Although many people think that RGB lighting will increase power consumption and affect the battery life of the keyboard, adding lights later is also a cost. Of course, students who like RGB will not mind. If you don't like it, you can turn off the backlight directly, and use it the same without affecting battery life.

▲A lot of students are concerned about the battery life of the RGB keyboard. In fact, there is no need to worry too much. Because it involves the consumption of lights, the official maximum battery life in the light-off mode is 25 days.

▲ Dareu's A81 adopts a 75% arrangement design, adopts the mainstream purple gold axis body and sky axis V3, and the color is also divided into Haoshi white and black diamond versions, and the appearance is still good. But if it is for personal use, I personally recommend the sky Axis V3 version, this version has been recognized by many users, you can't go wrong with the mainstream one.

▲For the A81, which sells for only 400-500, it is full of sincerity to be able to use the structure of PORON cotton and silicone sleeve. The Gasket structure without steel plate feels better and is more durable. The satellite shaft of A81 even uses reinforced Design, PCB lock screw fixed, the feel of the big key is as stable as Mount Tai.

▲ Dareu A81 supports one-key switching between Mac and Windows, but the only shortcoming is that A81 does not support wireless, which is a bit unreasonable. Although the price is affordable, wireless boards should be released. I guess with a high probability that Dareu wants to test the water There will be a wireless version later.

▲Dareu’s A81 adopts a single white backlight from the configuration point of view, the switch body does not support hot swapping, and does not support wireless. Although it uses the mainstream Sky switch body and Zijin Switch Pro, the convenience of daily use is not as good. , Students who like wireless and hot-swappable switches can wait, there is a high probability that A81 PRO will be available in a while.

▲The Dareu A84Pro keyboard is one of the rare Dareu series keyboards with a price exceeding 1,000 yuan. The keyboard adopts mainstream three-mode settings and supports wired USB/2.4G/Bluetooth 5.1. It adopts a non-mainstream 84 configuration, which is suitable for desktops. players, such as my desktop.

▲The whole keyboard of Dareu A84Pro adopts the design of all-aluminum alloy. After CNC molding, anodizing and printing, the color of the keyboard is very smooth, and there are basically no burrs on the surface. However, the keyboard is an input tool, and the all-metal keyboard has more features. Good feel, but also extremely heavy. The weight format of Dareu A84Pro keyboard is 1.5KG.

▲The Dareu A84Pro keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery with a size of 321.5X145.5X42.7. Supports macro definition, and takes into account one-key switching between Windows and MacOS systems.

▲In terms of hardware, the Dareu A84 PRO adopts the Gasket structure. Through the tight locking of the upper and lower covers, high-toughness silicone is cleverly matched between the inside of the keyboard and the bottom case to ensure that there is almost no cavity inside the keyboard; it is equipped with a brand-new high-toughness PC The positioning plate allows the keyboard to eliminate noise and at the same time, press it to get a better soft bounce effect.

▲The advantage of Gasket is that the built-in high-toughness silicone pad can improve the touch of fingers, especially when using the keyboard, it can eliminate noise very well, and at the same time has good resilience. The 3.5mm thick silicone pad is matched with 1.5mm The thick iron panel forms a tight closed loop, which effectively reduces the fine noise caused by the vibration of the keyboard when the switch is struck during use, ensuring that the keyboard feels more pure and comfortable without harshness.

▲The switch body of the keyboard adopts Dareu's own sky switch V3. Players who like DIY can replace it with the switch body they like or are used to, which adds more playability. The large key part of A84 Pro adopts a custom-tuned satellite shaft and balance bar, with a solid inner iron plate, the large key is stable and does not shake when in use, which can better improve the percussion feeling and effectively reduce the noise of the large key. And it can share most of the satellite shaft keycaps on the market.

▲We all know that many keyboards with backlights will have battery life problems. The manufacturer did not design backlights by default in order to improve battery life at the beginning of the design, but some students like the backlight effect, especially for night use, but this time the A84PRO has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery The battery can be used for four hours a day when the lights are turned off, and can support a one-month battery life. The long-lasting battery life will always accompany you in the battle, and it supports charging while using.

▲The Dareu A84PRO retains the backlight design. At the same time, the backlight of the A84 PRO supports full-color backlight. There are about 16.8 million light colors and a variety of light modes to enhance the visual effect of your desktop and match the needs of more users.

▲At the same time, the biggest change is that A84 PRO supports sound pickup and light control. The creative and gorgeous lights can change colors continuously with the melody of the surrounding music and the echo of the keyboard. The keyboard is equipped with a sound pickup and light control system. The integrated microphone senses the external sound source to synchronize the frequency rhythm, and realizes the dynamic expression of the sound field of the keyboard percussion with a variety of lighting modes, opening up more inspiring fingertip performance and immersive resonance.

▲Now we have more and more desktop devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, notebooks, desktops, etc., each of which needs to be easily connected to a keyboard. This requires the keyboard to support multi-system and multi-device connections.

▲Dareu A84 PRO supports Windows and Mac systems at the same time, and can connect three devices at the same time to meet the usage scenarios of users on different platforms, and switch instantly through the function combination keys, which can also be handy for Xiaobai.

▲In addition, the keyboard can use three connection methods: USB wired connection, 2.4G wireless connection and BT Bluetooth. It supports connecting multiple different mobile devices and can quickly switch to different usage scenarios. It is effectively compatible with Win/Mac and other system devices to meet different platforms. User needs.

▲I have been using this keyboard for nearly two weeks, and now I feel much more comfortable than the cherry silver switches I used before. The biggest experience is the strength of the tapping, as well as the feel of use. The biggest experience is that the fingers are diligent a lot of. It feels a bit like Quicksilver.

▲The feel of the entire keyboard is really good in use, and it has changed all my views on domestic switches. Whether it is typing or gaming, it has a good feel, and now the typing speed has improved a lot.

▲The only dissatisfaction is the color matching of A84PRO. Although the macho pink is very suitable for the occasion, can’t we really change the color matching? Daryu, really need to change the designer!

▲A lot of things are bought not because they are cheap, but because we like them. It’s like we liked PSP when we were young, and when we grow up and have money, we buy them, only to find that they are boring. this is life.

▲Compared with Dareu’s several products, A87 PRO, A81, A84 and A84PRO are basically small configurations. Dareu’s sky axis V3 has a good feel. If you like it, you can buy it at a good price on Double 11.

I'm Teacher Lin, see you next time!
