Peripherals Show Chapter 103: The love story of the new aluminum factory, Ruijiang R87 Jane Eyre theme mechanical keyboard out of the box

The new aluminum factory Smart Artisan Ruijiang launched several series of mechanical keyboards in the early stage, such as R87 Wild Hope, Moying, Qingkong, Winter, Sunny, Blue and White Porcelain, and Western Cowboy. The keyboard adopts an all-aluminum shell, PBT sublimation keycaps, hot-swappable sockets, RGB backlight, and the workmanship and materials are still remarkable. During the 520 period, Ruijiang launched the Jane Eyre series with the theme of Valentine's Day. The official price is 1314 yuan, 5201314, um~ this has a good meaning, and it is very suitable for gifting female tickets.

The Jane Eyre-themed outer packaging is decorated with navy blue background and red lines. The product LOGO is on the front, and the product model and shaft version are pasted on the side.

There are quite a lot of product accessories, such as transparent dust cover, manual, supplementary keycap, data cable, shaft puller, and wire key puller.

The shaft puller provided by Ruijiang is the best one among the mass-produced keyboards I have used. It is made of metal and quite tough, and it is easier to operate than the dual-purpose keyboard.

A data cable with the same color as the keyboard, made of rubber, with a thinner wire diameter, Type-C interface, and equipped with a magic tie.

The Jane Eyre series still adopts the conventional 87 arrangement, all-aluminum casing, CNC+high-gloss+anodizing process, right-angle frame, and white and red keycaps.

Many keycaps on the keyboard adopt the Jane Eyre theme, the ESC key is Cupid's archery, and the left and right Alt keys are a heart.

F5 is "I Love You" message, F6 is a smiling face of love, F7 is a love hug, F8 is a love rain, and the enter key is a rose.

The keyboard adopts the original height keycaps, with a 6° slope on the side, and a golden Ruijiang nameplate on the left and right sides, which is quite textured.

There are decorative stripes on the front and rear borders of the keyboard, and the Type-C interface is arranged on the left side, mainly for the convenience of using with a laptop.

The bottom of the keyboard is also made of gold material, the original color of aluminum alloy, and the shape of Z. The keyboard does not have a stand, and each of the four corners is equipped with a non-slip foot pad, so the height of the keyboard is fixed.

The Jane Eyre series currently has three types of shafts: TTC Quick Silver, TTC Gold Powder, and TTC ACE, and Cherry shafts will be added later. The keyboard adopts hot-swappable design and is compatible with 3-pin and 5-pin shaft bodies. My model is a TTC gold powder switch, with a transparent top cover, a semi-open fence, a U-shaped light guide column, a linear switch body, soft feel, low sound, 37g trigger pressure, 2mm trigger stroke, 4mm total stroke, and a design life of 100 million times.

The long key of the keyboard adopts the satellite axis fine-tuned by Ruijiang free mold, the feel is not fleshy, and the rebound is also good. The sound and feel of the Shift, Backspace, and Enter keys are very close to the standard keycaps. The rebound is not bad.

The keyboard keycap is made of PBT material, dye-sublimation process, and the font is closed. In order not to block when typing, the font position is designed to the left. The keycaps and key walls are quite thick, and the interior and edges are also very clean.

The keycap of the keyboard is opaque, and the backlight mainly plays the role of ambient light. The keyboard has 20 built-in lighting effects, and the mode can be switched by Fn+Insert and Delete keys, and the brightness and movement speed can be adjusted by Fn+direction keys.

Since the TTC axis adopts a transparent upper cover, a U-shaped light guide column, and the original height keycap, the overall brightness is not bad.

The front is the drifting light effect, this one is the rotating windmill light effect, the keyboard is not equipped with driver software, and there is no function label on the keycap, so it still takes some learning time to use the multimedia and light setting functions.

Ruijiang R87 Jane Eyre adopts the design of all keys without punching, and there is no trouble of conflicting keys when playing games, such as fighting, King of Fighters and other games. When operating with one or two players, multiple keys need to be pressed at the same time. played.

In terms of games, I experienced the classic first-person shooter game CSGO. My personal feeling is that the original factory height keycaps are matched with TTC gold powder switches, which have a soft feel and strong rebound, and operations such as walking and jumping are very smooth. For players who often use linear axes, it is easy to get started, and the sound is not too loud. In addition, the keyboard is very heavy, and there is no displacement from the beginning to the end when it is placed on the table to play games.

Ruijiang R87 Jane Eyre already has the shadow of customization from materials to workmanship. If the wire is replaced with aviation plug-in cable, it will be more customized. The keyboard adopts a conventional 87 arrangement, which can shorten the size and leave more space for the desktop for users who do not often use the number keys. My desktop is not too small, the size is 160CM×70CM, but because I like to put the case on the desktop, plus the Epson printer for children to do homework, it is full. I usually use 108 with a keyboard, and I can only use a small one. The mouse pad, and it has to be used upright. After changing to the 87 configuration, you can put down a medium-sized mouse pad, and the mouse operation will be more comfortable when playing games.

Since Ruijiang R87 adopts an all-metal body, the keyboard is very heavy, which is much heavier than my mechanical keyboard with 108 series. Although there are only 4 anti-skid pads at the bottom of the keyboard, the size is not too big, but the overall stability is quite good. After playing e-sports games for several hours, the keyboard does not move significantly. It’s just that the height of the keyboard is fixed, there is no bracket, and the front frame is still a bit high. It is recommended to use it with an 87 matching hand rest, which will make the wrist more comfortable. Of course, I hope Ruijiang can launch hand rest accessories for everyone to choose.
