My Installed Career Part 9: Dareu A98 Youth Edition Three-mode Mechanical Keyboard Evaluation: Comfortable Hand Feel Suitable for Work and Entertainment

Now the computer has become an inseparable partner in our life or work. For example, my work is basically done by the computer. In my life, I also use my computer to play games for entertainment. As one of the most important input tools of the computer, the keyboard of the computer has become one of the most used tools in our daily work and life, just like paper and pen. So a good keyboard is essential.

Recently, I bought a Dareu A98 Youth Edition three-mode mechanical keyboard. From the appearance, it is not a full-size keyboard, but it ensures that the keypad number area is reserved. In this way, it can not only reduce the size of the keyboard, reduce the space occupied by the desktop, but also minimize the experience of using the keyboard. This is my favorite point.

A98 Youth Edition supports three-mode use, so it can be used in a variety of scenarios. It supports wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth 5.1. It can also be used in wired mode.

In daily life, in a computer with Bluetooth, such as a laptop or some desktop computers, it can be used directly through a Bluetooth wireless connection, which is fast and convenient.

Of course, if the latency is higher, its 2.4G wireless mode will come in handy. For example, when playing games, you can enjoy the freedom of wireless and at the same time have a hearty and refreshing feeling of the game.

The soft rubber pad and bracket design at the bottom of the keyboard can not only make the keyboard more stable and not easy to slip, but also fit our typing habits at a better ergonomic angle.

Of course, as a mechanical keyboard, its key shaft is naturally worthy of attention. The A98 Youth Edition is equipped with a brand new Mengyu switch or Firefly switch. The feel of this switch is not only smooth but also stable. And the sound is not as noisy as traditional mechanical keyboards, it is very quiet.

It adopts a brand-new fence-type shaft structure. The precise structure makes the shaft body stronger and more stable, and its service life is greatly extended. In addition, pre-lubrication treatment has also been carried out at the factory, plus the cooperation of high-density springs.

These have greatly improved the smoothness of the feel, and the noise has been further reduced.

The one I chose is a dream switch, with a trigger stroke of 2mm, a total stroke of 4mm, and a trigger force of 40±10gf. The final strength is 55±10gf, and the life of the shaft body can reach 5000W times. Basically, the keyboard is outdated, and its use effect is still in the young and middle age.

Moreover, the keyboard has built-in full-color RGB lighting effects, and there are a variety of lights that can be switched. After all, it is embarrassing to say that it is a computer accessory without RGB.

In addition to lighting, Dareu A98 Youth Edition also uses a lot of technology in it, such as sound insulation and noise prevention, Dareu has worked hard. The entire keyboard uses a 1.5mm thick high-toughness PC material positioning board, which not only stabilizes the keyboard base, but also provides soft elastic deformation.

After all, the length of the keyboard is so long, there will definitely be some deformation due to different placement. In this way, the keyboard can be adapted to different complex usage scenarios. And it can effectively reduce the noise caused by the vibration of the keyboard when the shaft switch is struck during use.

With these lights and special effects. The A98 Youth Edition has become cool and beautiful, which instantly improves the overall sense of quality of my desktop.

In general, Dareu’s A98 Qingqing version adopts the mass-produced Gasket structure, which can be said to have the strongest hand feeling. The feedback force of the keyboard is appropriate, smooth and without noise, and the rebound stroke is moderate. It is used for typing or playing games, this keyboard is a very good weapon.
