Mechanical keyboard recommendation Part 13: Maicong K980 with an entry price of 349 yuan, a mid-range experience, a conscience domestic product with a perfect layout

Recently, I experienced a keyboard with 99 keys and a 980-like layout like the Macong K980. This keyboard is a product that makes me exclaim that it is too conscientious. The price is 349 yuan. What is the configuration? Kaihua Box first-generation switch, one-piece silicone sandwich switch bottom pad, silicone mold opening bottom pad, fine-tuned satellite switch, three-mode, RGB, hot-swappable, OEM height PBT material two-color keycaps, I am so conscientious .

Let’s talk about the experience, let’s talk about the noise reduction first, the three-layer silicone noise reduction, the noise reduction strength is isolated, and the noise reduction is extremely strong. With the support of the three-layer silicone filling, the overall weight has increased significantly, and it will not be light and cause no texture. In terms of switches, the overall quality of Kaihua’s first-generation Box switches is still very good at this price. Box White is the most recommended, switch for dormitory friendship, switch for happy colleagues, switch for family harmony, and the sound of pressing the ballpoint pen is really good. As for the large key, it touches the bottom crisply, rebounds with the hand, and has no empty key travel and wire sound. It is exaggerated that a cotton sliver is used as a support under the steel wire of the satellite shaft. This is extremely uncommon. This design will greatly reduce the wire sound. generation. In terms of RGB lighting effect, the white positioning board, white PCB, and white one-piece silicone sandwich shaft underpad all add to the RGB lighting effect, and the overall RGB brightness and smoothness are very good.

In terms of key layout, the 99 keys of the K980 is the smartest and most practical layout that I think avoids the 980 patent. That is, there is a non-compact F area, and there is an extra function key, which is the layout that I am most satisfied with to avoid patents.

Maicong K980 gave an extremely thick dust cover, which is really conscientious. Although the dust cover is not worth a lot of money, it is really comfortable to look at when it is thick and has a good texture.

The entry price of the K980 is 349 yuan. The shaft body and noise reduction are all leapfrog configurations. For this point, you can refer to the box shaft version of the FL980. After comparison, you can see how conscientious the K980 is.

Let’s talk about the shortcomings of the Macong K980. My iced berry color is mainly red and blue. The red keycap’s shading is very general and will leak light. The second point is that the drive of the Maicong K980 is relatively general. The third point is both a disadvantage and an advantage, that is, the RGB will be turned off after a few minutes of standing, and the advantage is that the battery life is long.

To sum up, it is very worthwhile to buy a finished mechanical keyboard with three layers of silicone silencer, Kaihua Box axis, three-mode, RGB, hot-swappable, and fine-tuned satellite axis such as Maicong K980 for 349 yuan. Tossing users, it is very good to buy it and use it directly. It is a very valuable 980-like finished keyboard.
