Peripherals Show Article 104: Comes with a five-way joystick, HELLO GANSS HS75T three-mode mechanical keyboard out of the box

Nowadays, the configuration of mechanical keyboards is becoming more and more abundant. The once smashing 60 configuration is very popular among laptop and tablet users. However, the simplification of the F area makes many office workers a little uncomfortable. The keyboard is indeed narrower, but the F keys can only be used through the FN key combination each time, and the operation is still a bit complicated. Therefore, the launch of the 75 series can be regarded as a solution to the problems of these people, retaining the complete F area, and the keyboard is only wider by one key position, which is completely acceptable.

Recently, HELLO GANSS launched a mechanical keyboard with 75 configurations: HS75T, 80 keys + knob + joystick, wired, 2.4G, Bluetooth three-mode connection, PBT keycaps in various colors, hot-swappable shaft sockets, official price GANSS Moon Soul/Pinyue is 299 yuan, TTC axis/Jiadalong wallaby axis is 399 yuan. Different from other brands of 75 configurations, the knob on the upper right corner supports hot swapping, the knob can be replaced with a normal shaft, and there is an additional five-way joystick, which I will briefly share with you below.

The accessories of HS75T are very rich, such as dust cover, Type-C data cable, supplementary knob, two AAA dry batteries, steel wire key puller, shaft puller, Type-C adapter, shaft seat cover, two packs of supplementary keycaps, Pack the box to the brim.

If your laptop does not have a USB-A port, you can use this Type-C adapter. In addition, this adapter can also be used as an OTG adapter for mobile phones and tablets.

HS75T can be divided into minimalist black, minimalist white, obsidian, white feather, Jingyuan apricot, ten sample brocade, cangqiu blue, Qianshan emerald, smoke cloud purple, ultramarine blue, spring purple, cyan yellow, There are 13 versions of Mushanzi, which can be divided into four shaft versions: TTC, Jiadalong, Kaihua, and GANSS from the button, and can be divided into dry battery and lithium battery from the power supply.

The keyboard adopts a narrow frame design, and there are three indicators on the right side of the ESC key. For the dry battery version, when the voltage is too low, the indicator light flashes slowly; for the lithium battery version, press the FN key when the battery is low, and the backlight of the ESC key is red. Press the FN key, the backlight of the ESC key is blue, press the FN key when it is fully charged, the backlight of the ESC key is green.

The 75 arrangement simplifies the number area, and retains the three buttons DEL, PgUp, and PgDn commonly used in Jiugongge, as well as the four arrow keys. Next to the arrow keys is a five-way rocker with a backlight effect. Flip up and down to adjust the brightness of the light, and flick left and right to adjust the dynamic speed of the backlight.

There is a sun hat-shaped knob in the upper right corner of the keyboard, which can adjust the volume and press to mute. The default is a transparent material, and it can also be replaced with an opaque white knob. In addition, the knob supports 3D printing, and the drawings are open source.

The connection mode switches are arranged on the back of the keyboard, which are 2.4G, wired, and Bluetooth from left to right. The Type-C interface of the keyboard is designed on the left side. When it is used with a notebook in wired mode, it will not interfere with the computer frame and the mouse on the right side.

There are four non-slip pads attached to the bottom of the capture tray, and the two-stage bracket can realize three kinds of slopes: high, low, and flat. The 2.4G receiver storage compartment is placed inside the bracket. The keyboard is equipped with two sets of battery compartments, which can be put into four AAA dry batteries. The battery life is about 4 months without turning on the light. If, like me, you put in four 2550 mAh EP rechargeable batteries directly, the battery life will be longer.

As mentioned earlier, the keyboard has four switch versions to choose from. My model is Jiadalong G Silver Pro, with a semi-open fence, a transparent top cover, a linear switch body, a total stroke of 3.4-0.4mm, and an action stroke of 1.2±0.3mm. , The trigger pressure is 45±15gf, and the design life is 80 million times. The shaft seat supports hot plugging and is compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin shaft bodies.

The long keys of the keyboard are designed with satellite switches, and the HS75T uses the tenth-generation satellite switches, which are well adjusted and feel comfortable.

Since the keyboard uses PCB lamp beads, the brightness of the light is mostly concentrated on the front side of the shaft body. The knob is backlit in white, and the whole is illuminated, which is very bright, and the rocker is illuminated around it.

Let’s put some lighting effects at night. The brightness of the keyboard backlight is considered to be at a medium level. Since the keycaps of the keyboard are opaque, the backlight mainly plays the role of ambient light.

The white backlight of the knob adopts the breathing light effect, and the light turns on, off, and on in turn. If you don't want this backlight, you can directly replace the white opaque knob and shaft cover, so that you can't see the light. Or simply remove the knob module and replace it with a shaft, which can be used as a function button.

The obsidian and white feather keycaps adopt the original factory height, and the multi-color models such as Cangqiu blue and Qianshan emerald adopt the OEM height. I just have a set of Cangqiu blue on hand, so I will show you the effect of the replacement.

Cangqiu blue set keycaps are sold separately, 139 keys, 99 yuan, and some unconventional sizes required by HS75T are also available for replacement.

Such as short Shift keys, ALT, FN, CTRL keys of standard size, DEL, PgUp, PgDn keys of different heights, etc.

The HS75T adopts a variety of quiet measures such as the pad under the shaft, the middle layer of sandwich cotton, and the bottom layer of noise-absorbing cotton. The sound of the two height keycaps is not too loud.

The keyboard supports full-key no punching, supports connection to 5 devices in Bluetooth mode, and up to 7 devices in 2.4G and wired mode.

Replaced with Cangqiu blue OEM height keycaps, from the side view, the ergonomic structure is more obvious, due to the different structure, the sound when typing is slightly louder than the original factory height keycaps. As mentioned earlier, under the various noise reduction measures of the keyboard, with the linear Jiadalong G Silver Pro, the sound control is still good.

The small knob is very convenient to adjust the volume. If you don’t like the backlight, you can replace it with a white opaque material and the knob. The knob is hot-swappable. You can pull out the knob module by pinching the metal rod upward. You can see the 5-pin shaft seat. Replace it with a key shaft and it can be used as a function key.

The five-way joystick is relatively small, and it can adjust the brightness of the backlight and the running speed by default. Through the driver software, after changing the key, if it is set as a direction key, can it also be used as a game joystick? It would be great if the joystick could also be replaced, so that it would be more comfortable to use with a joystick with a handle. It should be very good for playing fighting, iron fist and so on.

HS75T is HELLO GANSS's first 75 series mechanical keyboard, which inherits the appearance and wireless three modes of HS series. Many 75 configurations on the market also have a volume knob. The difference between the HS75T and them is that this knob has a backlight effect and supports hot swapping. You can replace the opaque knob, or directly replace it with a normal key switch. In addition, there is a five-way rocker above the arrow keys.

A lot of niches are equipped with mechanical keyboards. In order to shorten the size of the keyboard, many unconventional keycaps are used. As a result, it is difficult to find suitable keycaps when replacing the keycaps in the future. Although HS75T is the first 75 series mechanical keyboard of HELLO GANSS, it is currently on sale with these unconventional keycaps, and there are thirteen types to choose from, which can be said to solve the color problem to a certain extent. Value the party's worries. At the end of the article, I briefly summarize the characteristics of HELLO GANSS HS75T, and put forward some suggestions of my own for your reference.
