As a digital blogger and amateur game expert, after buying Rapoo’s gaming headsets, gaming mice, and game controllers, I finally bought the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard, which is a full-featured, e-sports keyboard. Feel full of customized mechanical keyboard. It adopts a detachable keycap shaft and a modular design, which supports users to freely replace, upgrade and DIY personalized customization.

In terms of product packaging, this Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard still follows the simple and elegant appearance design elements of Rapoo. The Rapoo brand LOGO, keyboard model, and keyboard main picture constitute the classic "three elements" of Rapoo.

The main features of this Rapoo V700 DIY mechanical keyboard are listed on the back of the package, such as full keyboard no punch design, full key hot-swappable design, full keyboard programming, RG backlight system, etc., which are very powerful in terms of performance.

Open the package, the packing list includes Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard, key puller, Type-C power cord, manual, and a box of spare quick silver switches.

This box of Kuaiyin switch contains 12 switch bodies, and also comes standard with a key puller and shaft puller, which can be said to be very thoughtful.

Rapoo V700DIY is a mechanical keyboard with a 104-key full-size conflict-free design in the key layout. The product size is 435*149*48mm and the weight is about 835g. It is a light and small-sized keyboard. The upper cover of the keyboard is made of silver aluminum alloy, and the keycap is pure white. The two complement each other, and the appearance is online. The upper right corner of the keyboard is shaped like a dorsal fin, and there are additional function keys, which enhance the recognition of the keyboard.

The white keycap of the keyboard adopts PBT two-color injection molding process. The material is relatively solid, the surface particles are obvious to the touch, and the light transmission is uniform. It is wear-resistant and oil-resistant when used, and it will not turn yellow over time after long-term use.

Simple and narrow frame design, floating ergonomic keycap design, the touch is more comfortable in daily use, and the response is more accurate and fast, especially when playing games, the experience is smoother.

In the dorsal fin shape area on the upper right corner of the keyboard, there are 5 special function multimedia keys, among which the M key is the mode switching key, which can switch between office and game modes; the V1 key is the light switching key, which can quickly switch the keyboard lighting mode; the V2 key is the scroll wheel The mode switching key can quickly switch between the light brightness and volume control functions; V3 is the mute key, which can turn on/off the mute with one key; the scroll wheel is the light brightness and volume adjustment key, which can be quickly adjusted by scrolling up and down during use. These function keys greatly improve the DIY playability of this keyboard.

The power supply mode of the Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard is wired mode, and it adopts a separate key line design, which is easy to store and carry. The length of the power cord is more than 1.5m, and it is completely unfettered during use, enjoying the same convenience as wireless. The USB interface of the power cord is also gold-plated, which greatly improves the anti-oxidation and corrosion resistance, and ensures the stability of signal transmission and the service life of the wire.

Whether the mechanical keyboard is good or not, the key point is how is the shaft body? This Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard is equipped with Rapoo's independent hot-swappable linear fast silver switch, which can be adapted to most pentagonal hot-swappable switches on the market, allowing you to DIY as much as you want. Rapoo’s independent hot-swappable linear fast silver axis has a total stroke of 4mm, trigger stroke of 1.3±0.5mm, trigger pressure of 45±10gf, sensitive trigger, strong and fast rebound, strong hand feeling, relatively quiet sound, and long service life of the single-axis body 50 million times, fully meet the needs of daily office games.

Use the key puller to remove the linear fast silver shaft according to the steps. This shaft body is composed of the shaft center + transparent upper cover + spring + metal copper sheet + base. The shaft center comes with lubricated PVC material, which not only feels smooth, There are also double-sided dust-proof walls to prevent dust and debris from falling into the gap; the hot-swappable metal shaft seat is anti-oxidation and strain-resistant, and has a service life of 10,000 plugs and unplugs, so you can rest assured to replace your favorite shaft body.

Slipping when using the keyboard should be relatively common and annoying. The back panel of the Pennefather V700DIY mechanical keyboard is equipped with 5 large-size silicone anti-slip stickers, which greatly improves the friction. No need to worry during intense gaming sessions.

In addition to the large-size silicone anti-slip stickers, there are also two silicone feet on the back of the keyboard, which can not only flexibly adjust the angle of use of the keyboard, but also improve the anti-slip performance of the keyboard.

After opening the silicone stand, the keyboard presents a more ergonomic angle, which will make the hand feel more comfortable during use, and you will not feel wrist fatigue when typing or playing games for a long time.

The Rapoo V700DIY mechanical keyboard is an RGB backlit keyboard, which is one of the important reasons why I like it more. In the office mode, 18 lighting modes can be switched through the V1 key; in the game mode, 19 lighting modes can be switched through the V1 key or the driver software, and it can also support single-key independent setting of the illusion light color and custom personalized light .

Click the multimedia button M in the upper right corner of the keyboard, and the white light of the keyboard will flash 3 times to enter the office mode. Use the V1 button to select your favorite backlight mode. I prefer the refreshing light mode as shown in the picture.

Click the multimedia button M in the upper right corner of the keyboard, and the blue light on the keyboard will flash 3 times to enter the game mode. Use the V1 button to select your favorite backlight mode. Playing games is of course a colorful color with a stronger sense of e-sports.

In the light setting, you can independently set the light color, light brightness, light speed, light mode, and you can also switch the direction of the light and turn on the monochrome mode.

In macro editing, you can freely record macro commands and trigger a series of commands with one button. This function is more suitable for playing games.
