Miwu ART-Z830 keyboard review: the shape of the red and white machine is too good-looking

The most important input device of a computer is the keyboard, which greatly affects the user experience of a computer, especially when the computer is used as a productivity tool, daily office work, and games, the quality of the silver disk directly affects the efficiency. I will evaluate the Miwu ART series Z830 keyboard, now let’s unbox and experience it together.

Exterior

At first glance, it feels like a classic. Looking at it again, I feel that this is not a red and white machine. This style is indeed classic, full of retro taste. This taste is not just me, anyone who has a little bit of feelings will bring back infinite memories.

The size of the entire keyboard is quite compact. Compared with the complete keyboard, its size is reduced by at least 1/3. The Miwu ART series Z830 keyboard has a total of 83 keys. Of course, although there are fewer keys, the functions are not lacking. All functions of a standard keyboard can be realized by combining keys.

Interestingly, the keyboard comes with 7 extra keycaps for replacement. There is also a tool for pulling out the keycap and the key shaft. The seven buttons are four arrow keys and three multi-function keys. Different colors can make the keyboard have different styles, and the replacement of the function keys corresponds to the different keys of the two systems of Windows and Mac. In this way, I can fully DIY customize according to my own needs.

The size of the keyboard is indeed quite compact, hardly any extra space is wasted. The size is 337*152*40mm, and the weight is 788 grams. The overall appearance is made of ABS shell material, while the keycap is made of PBT material. The texture of the keyboard is very solid and the durability is very good. Even if used for a long time, the keycap will not be corroded by the sweat of the fingers, and it will be clean and oil-free.

In addition, we can see that there are many game console key symbols printed on the keyboard. When I saw this, it immediately brought back my memories. As a post-80s generation, I grew up playing red and white machines.

The four red arrow keys are all replaced by gamepads, which is very innovative. And the red button is quite prominent, isn't this the feeling of the red and white machine back then. However, the manufacturer also presented 4 gray arrow keycaps. If you don't like the red color, you can still replace it yourself.

Since the space of the keyboard is quite compact, there is also a row of functional areas in the upper left corner of the keyboard, which can indicate the current working status of the keyboard, such as switching between upper and lower case. 1, 2, 3 Bluetooth switching, and a 2.4G wireless use status. These status functions are self-explanatory.

On the top of the keyboard, you can see the key switch, the use mode switch, the switch supported by Windows and Mac systems, and a Type-C charging switch. There is also a storage slot next to it, and the 2.4G wireless receiver is here. , It can be very good anti-lost when not in use.

On the back, there are two foot pads, which can raise the angle of the keyboard after opening. The shape on the back also looks retro.

From the overall appearance, this keyboard has changed the modern design and directly engraved the classic of the red and white machine. The soul of the red and white machine is injected into the keyboard, which is retro and tasteful. Let's take a look at the appearance and use experience.

Experience

Miwu ART series Z830 supports Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, and wired three-mode connection. Among them, Bluetooth can switch 3 groups of different Bluetooth devices, and the scalability is professional and rich. When connected in wireless mode, its built-in 4000mAh lithium battery can last up to 200 hours, and after plugging in the USB-C data cable, it can also be charged while playing games, completely solving the anxiety of battery life.

And the key shaft. Miwu’s ART series Z830 uses Jiadalong’s G yellow Pro shaft. Its key shaft is self-lubricated and feels very comfortable. And the keyboard has 2 layers of sound-absorbing cotton built in, which plays a good role in isolating the sound. The typing sound is also very crisp. But it will not be jerky and noisy like ordinary mechanical keyboards. Therefore, whether it is playing games or working, it is very suitable.

In addition, it also has its own RGB colorful light effect. Through the combination of keys on the keyboard, I can switch the light mode and the brightness of the light at will. Moreover, this light can also support driving, which can be used to assign lights, keys, and custom macros, which greatly increases the fun of this keyboard.

In addition, the Miwu ART series Z830 also supports full-key hot-swapping. I can use the tools that come with the factory to replace other key switches at any time, so as to experience the fresh fun brought by different key switches.

Summarize

In general, this Miwu ART series Z830 is small in size and does not take up space, especially suitable for a small living room and a small table, but it has all the function keys. While reducing the size of the keyboard, it will not affect the size of the keyboard. Functionality is missing. And the classic shape of the red and white machine, as well as the symbols on the buttons, are also a tribute to the FC of the year. Just put it on the computer table in this shape, it is a particularly tasteful work of art.
