In recent years, many people have been pursuing "desktop aesthetics", and mechanical keyboards are almost an indispensable element. There are many reasons. The comfortable feel and highly customizable attributes of mechanical keyboards are enough to make many people excited.
It just so happened that I have also replaced several wireless bluetooth mechanical keyboards recently, and I would like to share with you a simple one. The first one is the Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao keyboard that carries out DIY to the end.
For me personally, if I don’t play games and code for a long time, the small keyboard is relatively more practical and saves more space on the desktop (after all, the desktop is full of various digital products), so I chose the 68-key compact layout version , the keyboard and keycaps are selected separately.
The keyboard is in cement gray color, and the switch body is Jiadalong G Yellow Pro, and the keycaps are dazzled to choose the "community banana" that best suits my temperament from the many personalized keycaps, light yellow, banana yellow, Green, light green and other colors are well matched, and various coffee, time, computer and other elements on the keycaps fully reflect the daily life of our company, which is too real.
The overall look has a retro feel, the feedback of the keys is more obvious, the sound is relatively light and crisp, the trigger pressure of the key shaft is not large, the key travel is moderate, and the fingers will not feel tired when typing for a long time.
These keycaps are made of PBT matte material, which adopts thermal sublimation technology. The surrounding design is very round, the key positions are also very clear, and the hand feels good. The ergonomic design is also very smooth for typing. Although the layout is compact, Touch typing still won’t make mistakes, and it won’t be easily stained with oil and sweat after using it for a period of time.
Moreover, all keys support hot-swapping. For those who like to DIY multiple sets of keycap combinations, they can change the keycaps anytime and anywhere, which can make him unique and individual.
The keyboard's unique 9° small root design is quite comfortable to use. It doesn't need a palm rest, and the wrist is quite relaxed when typing. You don't have to take the initiative to lift your wrist, so you don't feel so tired.
This small keyboard supports three modes of wired, wireless and Bluetooth, and the mode switching can be quickly completed through the Fn button and the four QWER buttons. QWE has three Bluetooth connection modes, which can correspond to three devices respectively, and can be switched among the three devices with one key, while R is a 2.4G connection mode, which needs to be used with a receiver.
If you want a more concise desktop, use these two wireless connection methods. There is basically no problem with daily office typing, but if you use it to play games, it is best to use the Typc-C interface to connect.
The switching of the three major modes is realized through the switch on the bottom of the small warp. At the same time, the battery is also hidden in the small warp. The design sense is still good.
After using it for a period of time, I personally feel that Luo Fei’s small keyboard, in addition to its good looks, is infinitely fun to DIY, and the typing feel is also good. At the beginning of getting started, you may not be used to the key layout and the typing efficiency is not high. In particular, some operations need to be realized with the Fn key, but after familiarizing with the position of the keys and the operation of the shortcut keys, the efficiency of the code word will also increase.
By the way, after connecting the device, it can also automatically identify whether the connected device is Windows or macOS, and the keys corresponding to different operating systems are also marked on the keycap, which is quite practical. Obviously, it can rely on appearance, but it still relies on strength. Maybe this is the reason why Luo Fei's keyboard is so popular.
