Peripherals in the Pit Chapter 64: Tanabata is here, girls who are looking for a mechanical keyboard to gift their boyfriends can take a look at this HELLO GANSS HS87T, the price is within 500

The Qixi Festival is coming, and recently I saw a netizen posting asking for help, "The budget is about 500, please recommend a mechanical keyboard for your boyfriend?". I don't know who is so lucky to meet such a well-behaved girlfriend. I don’t know where such a considerate and well-behaved girlfriend can find me, but I can recommend the mechanical keyboard she wants to buy---HELLO GANSS HS87T.

HELLO GANSS is a sub-brand of the old mechanical keyboard GANSS (everyone used to call him Gauss). HELLO GNASS takes the high-end route, and the optional key shafts are diversified, including TTC shafts, Jiadalong shafts, and Kaihua shafts.

The model of this keyboard I recommend is HS87T, with Jiadalong G silver PRO key switch and Ferrari red color matching. Ferrari is the dream car among many men, and it is also the dream car in my mind. I can't afford a car, so I can only buy a Ferrari red mechanical keyboard to enjoy myself.

The packaging of HELLO GANSS still feels a bit fancy, and the colors are relatively bright. I am used to those popular designs with black and white backgrounds, but this design feels quite fresh. There is no rendering of the product on the outer packaging, and there are not many textual descriptions. Only the product model, color and shaft type are marked on the side stickers.

Due to the limitation of the desk and the number keys are rarely used, I chose the 87 configuration without number keys. If you usually use more number keys, you can choose 98 or 104 configurations.

The design of HS87T is still relatively compact, and the frame is also relatively narrow. The size fits my desk just right.

The layout of HS87T is slightly different from that of ordinary keyboards, and the indicator lights are arranged next to the ESC.

The keyboard supports three-mode connection: wired, Bluetooth and 2.4G, which can be switched by dialing the switch. The 2.4G receiver is hidden and stored under the support foot on the right side. This design is quite clever.

The HS87T keyboard supports hot-swappable full-key switches, supports customization and can be replaced with different switches, and is compatible with 5-pin and 3-pin switches. The one I chose is Jiadalong’s G Silver PRO double-segment spring key switch. The G Silver PRO is also a relatively popular switch body from Jiadalong. , trigger response is fast, and the life span is as high as 80 million times.

The PCB board of the keyboard is equipped with RGB lamp beads, but the installation method is reversed. The advantage of this design is that it will not affect the installation of the shaft body, and the compatibility with the key shaft is stronger.

The keyboard is equipped with a two-color non-transparent PBT keycap and a closed font. The touch of the keycaps is delicate and the texture is also good. However, the keycap is non-transparent, which will have a little impact on the RGB equivalent. But I think this is very good, the lighting effect is not so dazzling.

HS87T also has a variety of built-in lighting effects, which can be switched by pressing FN+(1-7), and three groups of FN+(8-0) are reserved for customization. However, the RGB lighting effect can only be turned on in the wired mode, and cannot be turned on in the Bluetooth and 2.4G modes. This design may be to save power.

This keyboard is powered by No. 5 dry batteries. According to the official statement, a set of No. 5 batteries can last for two months, and the battery life is quite impressive. Of course, the battery quality must pass the test.

Some netizens may think that using dry batteries is not as convenient as charging with built-in batteries, but lithium batteries are more difficult to replace once they lose power, and each has its own advantages. If you feel that you need to consume 12 batteries a year, which is a bit expensive, you can choose a USB rechargeable battery.

The back panel of the keyboard has a concave trapezoidal shape. The main function of this design is to prevent the cup from being accidentally knocked over, and the tea overflows into the keyboard. The wire groove on the top can hide the connecting wires in it and exit from the left and right sides, so that the wiring looks more neat.

This keyboard is equipped with large and small feet, which can be adjusted in two levels, and the foot pads of the feet are still with anti-slip texture, which is relatively stable on the table.

The accessories of HS87T are relatively rich, such as steel wire cap puller, shaft puller, and USB to Type-c interface, even the AA battery, and some replacement keycaps. The tools are relatively complete, and it is more convenient to change the shaft and keycap.

In addition to the keys needed for macOS, the replacement keycaps are also equipped with edit keycaps of different heights.

The HS87T keyboard supports three modes: wired, bluetooth and 2.4G. In addition, it is equipped with a USB-A to Type-C adapter, which is applicable to a wide range of applications. Desktops, notebooks, and tablets can be connected successfully.

The support for the operating system is also relatively wide, and Windows, macOS, and Android are also supported. The keyboard supports connecting 5 devices at the same time, and you can switch between devices in seconds through Fn+(Q~T).

Let me talk about the experience of using it. I use it with a laptop and a tablet every day. The Bluetooth connection is relatively stable, and the delay is extremely low. I can’t feel it, and the typing is very smooth. The G Silver PRO switch I chose is very light in hand, fast in response, easy to type, and I don’t feel any discomfort on my wrist after eight hours a day in daily office work.

This keyboard has a special setting. After pressing FN+Caps at the same time, the positions of Caps and the left Ctrl key will be reversed. I often press the trigger by mistake and Caps cannot be pressed all the time. Pay attention when using it.

The keyboard has been silenced, the sound is not loud, and it will not affect other colleagues when used in the office. It is suitable for both office and game.

Summarize:

HELLO GANSS HS87T is a customized keyboard that supports three-mode connection, hot-swappable full keys, and a complete range of optional switches. TTC switches, Jiadalong switches, and Kaihua switches are more popular switches recently. Body has.

There are many color schemes for the keycaps, among which black obsidian, white feather, glass, white peach, Xianglei, and Yanyun purple are all very beautiful, but I still like Ferrari red at a glance. Colleague sensation. If a girl wants to give her boyfriend a mechanical keyboard, HS87T is a good choice, the price is not high, and you can get it within 500.
