Ready-to-use thousand-yuan-level aluminum lumps, MXRSKEY CK650 three-mode kit assembly and sharing

75% and 65% configurations have always been very popular configurations in the peripheral circle. In addition, the knob has become an indispensable new favorite on the keyboard since last year. Now many new kits (keyboards) will use the following Customized elements: full-key hot-swappable, special structure (Gasket / Top), soft elastic positioning plate (FR4 / PC), sandwich cotton, bottom cotton, shaft pad, three-mode connection, RGB backlight, etc. The protagonist I will share with you today - MXRSKEY CK650, is such a custom kit with a thousand-yuan aluminum alloy shell designed in the shape of an ancient Chinese scroll. It can basically be used immediately and is very friendly to novices. The kit is assembled with TTC gold and silver switches, and the 003 keycap of the hand key.

The patterns of fairy mountains, cranes, auspicious clouds, and welcoming pine on the outer packaging are very simple, with strong elements of national style.

After opening the inner box, a detailed instruction card comes into view. You can learn about the operation methods of each function before using it.

Other accessories are relatively simple, a rubber data cable, a dual-purpose key puller, an Allen wrench, and a 2.4G wireless receiver.

MXRSKEY CK650 is a 65% configuration kit of 67 keys + knobs. The shell material is made of aviation-grade aluminum alloy material, which is made by CNC cutting process and surface anodizing process. The workmanship and details are in place. The most important thing is that this kit has all the necessary and available components. Players with insufficient hands-on ability only need to install the shaft and keycaps to use it directly. There is basically no need for additional adjustments, which is very good for newcomers. friendly.

The shape design of the kit is inspired by Chinese classical scrolls. Both sides adopt a symmetrical design with arcs and arches, and each has an RGB light strip.

Viewed from the front, back and side, it looks more like an unfolded scroll, with elements of antiquity rushing towards us.

The default function of the knob in the upper right corner is volume adjustment. Press it to mute the volume with one key, or set it to other custom functions through the driver. The four function indicator lights are arranged vertically on the isolation strips in the left and right areas, and the mode and power information of the keyboard can be displayed intuitively.

The bottom shell has a small step design, and the front part looks like the drain of a dam. There are two long non-slip pads on the left and right sides, and there are two large circular feet on the back of the keyboard. Then there are two switches in the left and right middle positions.

The round feet adopt magnetic design, which is easy to install and disassemble, and can quickly adjust the overall inclination of the keyboard.

The left and right are the 2.4G wireless/wired/Bluetooth mode switch, and the Win/Mac system switch.

Use the hex wrench in the accessory to remove the eight screws on the side of the bottom case, and then pull out the knob to separate the upper cover from the bottom case.

The liner from top to bottom is: PC positioning board, sandwich cotton, IXPE shaft pad, PCB board, among which the PC positioning board has been slotted. The kit comes with a positioning board satellite axis, which is more convenient to disassemble and assemble than the PCB satellite axis.

The PC positioning board realizes the Gasket structure by covering the surrounding ears with rubber sleeves, but the space at the bottom of the keyboard is filled, and the actual space reserved for deformation is limited, and the overall is not particularly soft. If you are looking for a soft elastic effect, you can consider removing the shaft seat cotton and bottom cotton filled under the PCB board, so that the cavity sound will be a little more obvious, it depends on the individual's choice.

Located under the PCB are the shaft seat cotton and the bottom cotton, which basically fill the space of the bottom shell below.

At the bottom is an 8000mAh lithium battery. This super large capacity basically does not cause power anxiety. The Type-C interface is designed as a separate small board, which is fixed on the bottom case with screws, and a wire slot is also specially set up.

Although the MXRSKEY CK650 kit comes with satellite shafts, for a better feel, I still added a set of MXRSKEY DM positioning board satellite shafts, all made of POM, and the self-lubricating properties determine that it will become smoother as it is used.

This set of satellite shafts has a total of seven sets of 2u satellite shafts, a set of 6.25u satellite shafts, a small bottle of grease and a lubricating brush, and a 6.25u steel wire is also given as a gift. It is enough to install a keyboard with a configuration below 108, or two keyboards with a small configuration. For example, the CK650 only needs to use one set of 6.25u satellite switches and three sets of 2u satellite switches.

The satellite shaft is in ivory white color, and the limit between the three parts is well handled, and there will be no problems of excessive shaking and wire falling off.

It is recommended to use the attached lubricating grease to make a thin layer before installation, and apply it to the ends and corners of the steel wire, which can perfectly eliminate the sound of the steel wire, thus bringing a more comfortable feel.

The keyboard with Gasket structure uses linear switches to better show the soft elastic characteristics. This time, the switch body selected is the gold and silver switch of the TTC Gold Switch Professional Edition Pro series. This is also the first switch body among the three switch bodies of the Gold Switch series. .

The TTC gold and silver axis uses a silver-gray cross axis without side walls, and uses a high-transparency lens cover.

The bottom shell is also silver-gray, with a tripod shaft design.

According to the official announcement of TTC, the axis of the golden axis Pro series axis uses a new type of polymer composite material. This material not only has the high wear resistance of POM, but also has the characteristics of flexibility and smoothness of UPE material. In order to match the injection molding characteristics of the new material and ensure the accuracy, TTC specially redesigned the axis mold to improve the matching accuracy between the axis and the upper cover and the base, thereby reducing the shaking that may be caused by pressing.

The sides of the shaft and the parts in contact with the metal shrapnel have been lubricated, and you can see obvious traces of a thin layer of grease. Although it is not thick, it has a good smoothness.

There are a small amount of grease traces at the bottom of the spring, which can effectively reduce the spring sound that may be produced by pressing the shaft body.

The trigger pressure of TTC gold and silver switches is 45 grams, the trigger stroke is 1.4mm, the total stroke is 3.5mm, and the life span is 80 million times. The trigger pressure is the same as the traditional Cherry red switch, and the trigger stroke and total stroke are between the Cherry red switch and the Cherry silver switch, which can be simply understood as a kind of selective feel between the red switch and the silver switch.

TTC gold and silver shafts are lubricated before leaving the factory, and the hand feel is very consistent. Basically, they can be used immediately, and there is no need to bother about lubricating the shaft. The MXRSKEY CK650 kit with Gasket structure can also achieve a very "HIFI" percussion sound.

The display effect of the shaft body on the light is not bad, and the lower light position is also a solution that is currently popular in the customization circle.

The keycap is hand key 003. It was originally a 167-key ABS two-color full set of keycaps. The workmanship details and touch are very good. When it was first launched, the price was high. After the start of this year, there was a big promotion of 99 sets. It really made me understand what is meant by "buy late and enjoy the discount". I have shared this set of keycaps in detail before, so I won’t go into details here. The reason why I used it to match again is because I really didn’t find another purple keycap that is suitable for matching.

MXRSKEY CK650 gives me the feeling that the details are handled well, and the overall workmanship and craftsmanship are also remarkable. The self-contained satellite shaft has been lubricated and adjusted. It is completely different to replace the satellite shaft if there is no special high requirement. Therefore, I say that this kit is very friendly to novices, and it can basically be used immediately. If there are deficiencies, because the internal space is relatively full, the sinking space of the Gasket structure is not large, and the soft elastic effect is not particularly good. This can be improved by taking out the bottom cotton or the cotton under the shaft. Overall, the performance of the MXRSKEY CK650 kit is very satisfactory at a price of less than 1,000 yuan.

In addition, the TTC gold and silver switch, as a switch body that debuted in the gold switch Pro series for the first time, should be a new design to meet the needs of users located between the gold-red switch and the fast silver switch. The actual feel experience is also very good. Yes, precise factory run, fast trigger, and good hand feel consistency, which is very compatible with daily use and e-sports scenes. As for the 003 set of keycaps in the hand, when the price of about 300 yuan becomes 99 yuan, what kind of bicycle do you need?
