Regarding the lighting effect system of mechanical keyboards, the author has always held the attitude that I can use it but I can't.

And in recent years, ordinary consumers are no longer satisfied with the use of basic functions in the choice of products, and even the importance of appearance is far more important than pragmatism; and the lighting system is an important tool to effectively increase visual effects and appearance. Many three-mode mechanical keyboards on the market often do not set the keyboard backlight function for the sake of battery life; Rapoo thoughtfully added an ice blue backlight to the MT510PRO this time, and it comes with 6 different lighting effects by default, as well as rich customization functions , allowing users to choose to use it with different scenarios or states.

Lighting effect show time.

The author likes these two light effects the most. With the input and click, the light will follow the lighting feedback. It is low-key and gorgeous, with both elegant charm and awe-inspiring visual perception.

▲Use the five combined keys of FN+1-5 to switch back and forth among five devices in three modes: Bluetooth device, 2.4G wireless and wired connection.

▲The author works in the electric power design industry. The commonly used software in the office is GstarCAD, PS, PR, Word and Excel. The Rapoo V700-8A has full-key no-click in wired mode and any 6-key no-click in wireless mode. The function is more than enough to cope with the operation of document editing and drawing software.

▲As a user who needs to face the computer most of the time during work and personal time, I will finally talk about the actual experience of Rapoo MT510PRO in various scenarios.

In this test, the time spent by the author in each scene is:

1. The editing and finalizing of this article takes about 2 hours a day for 7 days.

2. Office drawing/document editing/immediate communication software communication chat (mo) day (yu) usage time is about 6 hours a day for 10 days.

3. The game usage time (Final Fantasy 7 Remake PC version) is about 1.5 hours per day for 7 days.

The total time is about 85 hours.

Because I am used to using a keyboard with a standard size layout and an 87-key layout, I personally don’t need to spend extra time adjusting the tapping posture and touch typing operation mode when I get started with the Rapoo MT510PRO.

When using a mechanical keyboard, what everyone wants to know most is the feel of tapping. The Pennefather’s independent fast silver switch gives me the feeling of soft rebound, sensitive trigger travel, and light pressing. This kind of silky and soft input feel similar to superficial touch is one of the basic capabilities that an excellent mechanical keyboard product must have; Rapoo's own green and red switches are just a little less obvious, but they can still be detected when you observe carefully when tapping, but they bring a more gentle and quiet daily performance.

As an all-rounder, Rapoo MT510PRO is also easy to deal with non-competitive gaming experience.

The pressing feel adjustment of the space, carriage return, and left shift keys is consistent with that of other keys.

Apply force on one side or the middle of the keycap, and the feedback of the press rebound is smooth. After nearly 85 hours of use, the keyboard has not been found to be stuck.

▲The keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh large-capacity lithium battery, and the battery life can theoretically reach up to 225 hours. Support 5V1A input fast charging, easy to play anytime, anywhere.

▲Use wired mode to connect to Rapoo MT510PRO and it can be charged automatically. When charging, the keyboard BNM and space bar area will be on with a steady red light, and the indicator light will automatically turn off when fully charged.

Calculated according to the state of 8 hours of use per day, the theoretical battery life can cover 28 days. For the author who occasionally needs to go out at two points and one line, the Rapoo MT510PRO is sufficient for any daily use situation without any battery life anxiety.

▲After installing the Rapoo driver software, all the keys on the keyboard can be programmed independently by using a wired connection. Configured parameters can be stored in the onboard memory, or can be uploaded to the cloud and shared with other players by logging into the Rapoo account.

Note: Parameter configuration can only be done with a wired connection. After completion, the three connection modes can be used synchronously, allowing this keyboard to adapt to different usage scenarios.

▲The logic of the driver software interface is clear. Users can customize and adjust the functions of the buttons according to their personal usage habits, or add combined button functions.

▲For high-end players, Rapoo MT510PRO also opens up the macro editing function, allowing users to realize more and stronger custom functions, such as one-key combo when playing games.

▲The author likes to use a macro to realize the commands of continuous marking in cad. The proper use of this macro function can reduce the daily workload.

As a leapfrog product, the hardware configuration of Rapoo MT510PRO is quite generous, and the design and workmanship are above the average level. Huge DIY space is reserved for users. The original five-sided sublimation PBT keycap fully considers the various design details of the 84-key compact layout and the meticulous running-in between a large number of knocking input experiences. Under the relatively limited key travel, it realizes gentle, light and profitable input. Tactile feedback.

1. The keyboard is exquisite in workmanship, with a cute appearance and a cool and fresh color scheme.

2. There is no impact when using the full key with a cable, the rhythm of the tapping feel is clear, and the feedback is clean and neat.

3. The three-mode connection is stable. Whether it is a wired connection, a Bluetooth connection or a 2.4G connection, the author has not found any obvious input delay during use (document editing, drawing input and game testing, etc.).

4. The longest battery life on a single charge can reach 225 hours.

5. Elegant and clear ice blue backlight system.

This kind of Rapoo MT510PRO has a small and fresh appearance when it is quiet, but it is techpunk when it is dynamic.

The above is the end of the full text, thank you for watching! ! !
