Mechanical keyboard recommendation Part 9: 75% arrangement, Gasket structure mechanical keyboard popularizes storm volume king RK's new work H81 first release evaluation

In 2022, the most popular and volume keyboard configuration is undoubtedly 75% configuration. The hottest keyboard structure is naturally the Gasket structure, but the Gasket structure keyboard with 75% configuration is currently at least 400 yuan, and the price is close to 500 yuan. For some small partners with low budgets, the price is undoubtedly a bit high. So, here he is. RK, the well-deserved scroll king of key rings, is here with H81, equipped with TTC colorful red switches, and the first launch only costs 369 yuan, bringing the price of 75% Gasket structure keyboards to less than 400 yuan.

1. Structure and noise reduction configuration

H81 adopts the popular Gasket structure, slotted PC positioning plate, supplemented by PE shaft bottom pad and sandwich and bottom cotton double-layer silicone pad for triple noise reduction. The Gasket gasket structure avoids the direct rigid contact between the inner tank and the upper and lower covers. The double-layer silicone filling eliminates the cavity inside the keyboard. The PE shaft pad slows down the direct impact of the shaft body on the PCB. The intuitive experience brought is pure sound and comfortable feel.

2. Top Satellite Axis

RK is highly sought after. In addition to its outstanding cost performance, the top-level satellite axis equipped with recent products is also one of the reasons why it is highly sought after. The first time I experienced the product of RK's top satellite axis was the H87, which is also an H series. That experience was amazing. RK is really powerful, achieving low price and high experience. Of course, RK H81 is also equipped with RK's top-level satellite switch, which touches the bottom simply, rebounds neatly, without any space travel or wire sound, and it can reach the T0 level properly in terms of feel and hearing.

3. TTC Colorful Red Axis

The switch body of RK H81 adopts the colorful red switch customized by RK from TTC. The biggest feature of the TTC colorful red switch is the design of the light guide column, which has a great additive effect on RGB. The TTC colorful red axis uses the same axis as the Jinhong V3, comes with factory lubrication, adopts an extended spring design, and the initial pressure is 41g. Compared with the standard red switch feel, the TTC colorful red switch is softer, smoother, and rebounds more easily.

4. Ancestral USB Hub

H87's USB Hub has been inherited and optimized on H81, but it has also been castrated. The USB Hub of the H81 has dual type C ports, one out and one in, and RK has thoughtfully marked it to avoid wrong insertion. The design of adding the C outlet is undoubtedly advancing with the times, but from the previous one-in-two-out to the current one-in-one-out, I think it is castrated, adding a USB A outlet is undoubtedly more convenient to use of.

5. The controversial knob switch

It is undeniable that every product of RK is very popular. When the spy photos of H81 appeared, the evaluation of this knob-type three-mode multi-device switch was mixed. Many people described it as a microwave oven, electric fans and more. Regardless of the appearance, from a practical point of view, the five gears switch between wired, 2, 4G wireless, and 3 Bluetooth device connections. This is currently the only one on the market. The confirmation of each gear is very strong. Other keyboards with a three-mode switching switch cannot be directly switched to a specific Bluetooth connection device, and need to be operated with shortcut keys. The H81 three-mode multi-device switch is undoubtedly extremely convenient for office users who need multiple devices.
