Mechanical keyboard evaluation Part 6: popularization of TTC gold powder V2 is incumbent on my generation - 599 yuan mechanical keyboard Royal Axe Y68 macho pink color matching unboxing evaluation

Hello everyone, this is Tank.

Royal Axe was born in the first half of this year. The R series equipped with TTC gold powder V2 has produced three keyboards in total. However, I personally feel that the layout is too compact and the design of the shortened return and delete keys is a bit disappointing, so I did not evaluate the Y series.

The newly released R68 has a normal 2U length for the back and delete key, and its overall appearance is slightly better than the previous Y series, so I recently bought it for evaluation.

Before the formal evaluation, let's first understand the keyboard-related parameters

Reference price: 599 yuan

Arrangement: 68 arrangement

Colorways: Steampunk, Candy Factory, Vagabond, Star Trek

The outer packaging of Yufu is quite satisfactory, very simple, and there is a logo of Yufu in the middle of the white box.

When you open the box, you can see that there are a lot of accessories sent by Yufu, such as aviation plug-in cable, shaft puller, key puller, four gold powder supplementary shafts, instruction manual, dust cover, magnetic corner stickers, and information about magnetic foot stickers. I will explain how to use it later.

The aviation plug-in cable given away is a pink two-section aviation plug-in cable, because I didn’t buy other colors from their house, so I blindly guessed that the color of the braided cable as a gift is consistent with the theme color of the keyboard.

Yufu Y68 is a 68-arrangement, the keycaps are engraved with normal characters, and the relevant multimedia function buttons are engraved on the side of the number area, and other cases with FN combination function keys will also be engraved on the side to display other cases. The color scheme of Candy Factory is based on macho powder, red is the auxiliary color, and You have slain is printed on the space.

In the upper right corner are three indicators, upper and lower case indicator, mode indicator and charging indicator, and the scroll wheel on the right is used to switch between Bluetooth, wireless 2.4G, and wired connections.

Pick it up and look at the wiring port in the middle of the top, the physical switch of the keyboard on the right, and the storage compartment for the wireless 2.4g receiver next to the red frame on the far right. You don’t have to worry about losing the receiver for daily wireless use.

The storage compartment is stuffed in, not magnetically attracted. I shook it during use and it won't fall out.

Viewed from the left side is a layer of red frame design, the appearance is really high, with red frames on both sides.

Turn over to the back and there is a frosted metal nameplate in the middle, which is very beautiful. There is a detachable foot support on each side. If you want to change the height, you need to change a higher foot support. Although this design is very good, there is no conventional two-stage foot support. So strong, and it's a hassle to switch.

The keycaps are OME height keycaps made of PBT material, using a two-color injection molding process, the characters are printed clearly, and there is no problem of rotten chrysanthemums when turned over.

The overall factory lubrication and stability of the large keys are good. There is no sensuality or noise when hitting a few large keys.

There is no under-shaft pad, but there is sandwich cotton in the middle of the space, which has better noise reduction effect and higher stability.

After unplugging the switch, I found that it supports both three-pin and five-pin hot-swap, which means that the common switches on the market basically support it. The keycap uses the upper light design, and the overall RGB effect will not be special during the day. bright.

As for the shaft body, only TTC Gold Powder V2 is optional. Gold Powder is probably the most popular shaft body this year. It is famous for its light pressure and high smoothness. It is loved by code writers, especially many friends who write novels.

The feel and smoothness of V2 and V1 are not particularly improved. The most obvious is that the pins are changed from copper to silver plating, which improves the oxidation resistance and is more durable. V2 on the left and V1 on the right.

On the whole, the starting price of Royal Axe Y68 499 yuan is very worth starting, and the stacking materials are in place. Even if you just buy it back and disassemble the shaft, it is more cost-effective. It is not recommended to start with 599 yuan for daily use. You can have better choices.

advantage:

The overall appearance is good, the configuration is full, and the price is very high

Support full-key five-pin and three-pin hot-swappable, TTC gold powder V2 light pressure smoothness

With wireless 2.4G receiver storage compartment

Metal nameplate on the back

Disadvantages:

Magnetic foot sticker design is good, but unstable

The engraving of the FN key is not displayed, and the blank keycap is rather abrupt
