Mechanical keyboards can also be DIY! Rapoo V700DIY hot-swappable game mechanical keyboard with many ways to play

Nowadays, many friends have equipped their computers with mechanical keyboards. It seems that it is difficult to innovate in this field, but the newly launched Rapoo V700DIY has changed my point of view.

Can mechanical keyboards be related to DIY? How is it achieved?

It is not uncommon to change keycaps. Colored keycaps and customized PBT keycaps are enough to personalize but cannot change the feel. Rapoo’s V700DIY keyboard has changed the switch. The original Rapoo independent silver switch can be easily removed. , replaced with another white switch with shorter key travel and faster response, making the commonly used keys of gamers sharper and faster.

In addition to changing the shaft, other indicators of this keyboard are also remarkable, such as PBT double-color injection keycaps, RGB backlight, key line separation structure, and the volume knob and multimedia shortcut keys that are hard to see on most keyboards... For a keyboard that costs less than 300 yuan, it's hard to point out what's wrong with it.

May Day is coming soon, so if your vacation plan includes staying at home or writing articles, you might as well treat yourself to a new equipment.

The first impression of Rapoo V700DIY is that it is simple and refreshing. The pure white keycaps and the silver aluminum alloy top cover make the overall texture very good.

There is an over-the-shoulder design on the upper right of the keyboard, on which there are 4 function switching buttons, keyboard indicator lights and a scroll wheel. This design makes the keyboard unique and individual.

I have several friends who say that the mechanical scroll wheel is much more comfortable to use than the buttons when adjusting the volume. There are not many keyboards with mechanical scroll wheels these days.

Rapoo V700DIY adopts a suspension design. The light-transmitting two-color injection-molded PBT keycap has a delicate touch, and the details such as the spout rough edges are unambiguous, which is indeed the quality of a major manufacturer.

In terms of the shaft body, the Rapoo V700DIY is equipped with the Rapoo independent fast silver shaft when it leaves the factory. This is a linear shaft body. It is a switch with light pressure and quick trigger, which can better take into account office and game scenes.

It is worth mentioning that this keyboard of Rapoo can also change the shaft, so the attached key puller also has some characteristics, it is a double-headed structure, and the end in the shape of metal tweezers is specially used for changing the shaft.

In this way, the shaft body can be taken out with a single click.

As a mechanical keyboard that supports hot-swapping, changing the switch to experience a different feel is definitely something every player will try. Rapoo V700DIY adopts a standard five-legged axle seat, which is compatible with most customized axles of brands on the market, such as cherry, TTC, Kaihua and so on. According to the official data given by Rapoo, the life of plugging and unplugging the shaft seat reaches 10,000 times, so there is basically no need to worry about frequent plugging and unplugging will damage the shaft seat.

Let's take a look at another shaft of Rapoo - Rapoo's own KA-12 Rapoo white shaft. It is not difficult to guess from the name that this is a shaft that mainly focuses on the feel of Q bullets.

There are 12 pieces in the box. I am thinking about which places are suitable for replacement. The commonly used keys for games, ASDFQWER, and four direction keys, are exactly 12 pieces.

The process of changing the shaft is very simple, so I won't go into details.

After a careful experience, the white shaft of the Rapoo bullet is also a linear shaft body, with a total stroke of 3.4mm, a trigger stroke of 1.2mm, and a trigger pressure of 35g. It is a light pressure shaft that bottoms out early. The pressure is more suitable for fast-paced games, while office typing is too sensitive.

In general, whether it is the original Rapoo Quick Silver switch or the optional Rapoo White switch, they all show a very high level, with almost no problems in terms of smoothness, stability and noise control. But picky, it really gave enough surprises.

I also found that these switches are fairly quiet.

This is a wired keyboard, in order to facilitate portability and installation, it adopts a key wire separation structure.

The interface part is USB-C, which is in line with the trend, and there is no need to worry about reverse insertion.

Install Rapoo's special driver, and also program the 104 keys independently. Through the settings, you can individually design combination keys, basic functions, etc. for the 104 keys, and you can also set the lights independently.

Rapoo V700DIY provides as many as 12 kinds of multimedia shortcut functions in Win system, through the combination of Fn+F1~F12, you can quickly switch between media playback, volume adjustment and other functions.

When it comes to lighting, Rapoo V700DIY provides quite a variety of RGB lighting modes. In the office mode, it supports 18 lighting modes such as blooming flowers, drifting with the flow, breathing mode, and stepping on the snow without trace. It also supports custom lighting in the game mode mode, you can independently set the color of the magic light with a single button, and customize a unique lighting effect.

For a keyboard at this price, it is really sincere to be able to give such a rich lighting effect.

In addition, the light brightness and volume control can be easily adjusted through the V2 key, and the V3 key can directly mute and turn off the sound with one key.

The price of this Rapoo V700DIY hot-swappable RGB backlit gaming mechanical keyboard is less than 300 yuan. Compared with other customized keyboards with interchangeable shafts, it has a great price advantage. The feel of the cap, the feel of the switch body, RGB light effects and drivers, the Rapoo V700DIY has shown a good level. If you are interested in a customized mechanical keyboard with interchangeable switches, then the Rapoo V700DIY is a very worthwhile attempt.
