Recently, I bought the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard, which can not only be easily customized, but also supports hot-swapping of the shaft body, as well as RGB lighting effects, and the gameplay is very rich.

As a DIY keyboard, the keycaps, shafts and lighting effects of the Pennefather V700DIY can be combined freely. In addition, it is a 104 full-size keyboard that supports full-key no punching, so we can customize each one according to actual needs. The shaft body of the key can customize the keyboard feel that is more suitable for you.

The packaging design of Rapoo V700DIY is relatively simple. It provides keyboard, data cable, manual and other accessories. This keyboard is equipped with Rapoo’s linear fast silver switch by default, and it is also equipped with a linear elastic white switch KA-12 that can be replaced manually. , is also a shaft body that supports hot swapping.

The design of this keyboard is relatively simple. As a personalized mechanical keyboard, Rapoo V700DIY adopts a special-shaped structure, so although it is a full-size keyboard, it looks more compact. This keyboard can be used via USB- The C interface is connected to the computer, and a very agile operation experience can be obtained.

The front of the keyboard is made of aluminum alloy, and the silver top cover with white keycaps looks very clean. The protrusion on the upper right side is in the shape of a dorsal fin, with very tough lines, and there are four shortcut keys, plus a dial, which can be used to switch lighting effects and modes.

The original keycaps of the Rapoo V700DIY are processed by PBT two-color injection molding process, which has a very delicate hand feel, and it is easy to reveal the RGB lighting effect below, which has a good hand feel and visual experience when used.

The stroke of this switch is 1.3±0.5 mm, the trigger pressure is 45±10gf, it is easy to trigger, and the feedback is sensitive.

In addition, this shaft uses stainless steel springs and metal copper sheets inside, with a service life of 50 million times, and the feel is very stable, even after long-term use.

The wiring of this chassis is very flexible, and the power supply can also be installed from the back. The graphics card part can support a length of 375mm, and it is also equipped with a graphics card support bracket. This stand is all metal.
