Royal Ax Y87 gold powder shaft unpacking and using experience

Peripherals and other things, if you don’t want to buy them, you can’t stop after seeing them . The last time I bought a mechanical keyboard was 5 years ago. At that time, the mainstream was still the cherry switch. I started with ikbc's c87 red switch after just looking around. After using it for many years, I have no idea of ​​​​changing it. Until last month, I stumbled across a recommended article on a mechanical keyboard on Worth Buying. The oil is on fire, and it burns more and more intensely . During Double 11, I watched recommended articles one after another and evaluation videos one after another, combined with my own needs, and finally locked on the Y87 series of Royal Axe. The keyboard will arrive soon, and I can't wait to unbox it after getting it 。

keyboard packaging

The keyboard package is only wrapped with a layer of express cushioning. After removing it, it feels a bit heavy in the hand. It doesn’t feel like a keyboard but a brick in the package. . On the front of the package are the logo of Yufu and the promotional picture of the keyboard. This promotional picture is the same as the picture in the store. The color rendering is brighter, which is much brighter than the actual keyboard.

Double packaging inside and outside

After opening the outer package, there is a white inner package, which surprised me a little. The double packaging gives people a feeling that the manufacturer is more attentive. 。

After the inner package is opened, all the items are displayed, from left to right:

4 additional TTC gold powder shaft V2

Key Pullers and Shaft Pullers

A pair of long and short magnetic feet

keyboard dust cover

Royal Ax Y87 Star Trek Theme Keyboard

Warranty card and manual (under the keyboard)

Star Trek theme color matching aviation plug line

Royal Ax Y87 Star Trek front

The theme of Star Trek is dark blue + red color. Before buying, I was afraid that this color would not match and be too bright, but in fact this is the rendering effect of the promotional image on the official website. In fact, the look and feel of the keyboard is quite comfortable, not as eye-catching as imagined. 。

This keyboard is a relatively heavy keyboard (officially marked 1415g), and it takes a little force to move it on the table. The keyboard as a whole is very textured . The Type-C interface is in the center above the keyboard; because of the built-in lithium battery, a keyboard switch is added, and the keyboard can be turned off to save power when not in use; the 2.4G receiver is also on the upper right, compared with the position of the switch Close; the metal decorative strips on both sides and the magnetic feet on the back are my favorite designs, good-looking and easy to use ;The iconic big switch of the royal ax in the upper right corner depends on personal preference. I think that although it is more individual, it sacrifices the distance between the F areas, which is acceptable overall (some people prefer the volume knob).

One of the biggest reasons for ordering this keyboard is that it is equipped with ttc gold powder switches. As a novice, I saw that the overwhelming praise for this shaft, so I didn't think carefully whether this shaft is suitable for me. . After using it for a week, I want to say loudly: The gold powder shaft is really too light! ! , the conduction pressure of 37g is really triggered silently. If you want a stronger tactile feedback, you should buy a 45g or so (I plan to replace the gold powder with a harder shaft).

Yufu Y87 is a keyboard with good price, online texture and very high cost performance ; But its weight is too large, and its portability is relatively poor. If you have friends who often need to memorize keyboards, don’t consider this one. . In addition, the gold powder shaft is suitable for text workers who need to type a lot every day, or those who like to type like a superficial. If you do not type a lot every day like me, and you often need to think for a while before typing on the keyboard, I suggest that you can choose a shaft with a higher pressure in grams, so that the key feedback is more obvious 。
