Some good-looking entry-level retro keyboards - B.O.W Hangshi K500D dual-mode keyboard

Ever since kids started using tablet products for online classes, a proper wireless keyboard has become indispensable. I have been using the classic Logitech MK240 before. Although it is not good-looking, it is more solid. Unfortunately, the keyboard is fine, the mouse is not working, and the rest of the keyboard is a little weak. In addition, the MK240 keyboard is relatively small, and typing is rather cramped, so I chose an entry-level keyboard on the Internet as an alternative. Since I first learned to type on a traditional typewriter, I prefer retro styles, so Hangshi’s new products come into my eyes, and the overall feeling is—retro and a little nice.

I used this

After a while of fashion, I started from Douyin Mall, consulted the children's opinions, and chose this sunny pink and blue candy color.

Due to the violent express delivery on the packaging, I will not take pictures. The content is very simple, a keyboard + two batteries.

From the comparison in the figure below, it can be seen that the K500D is slightly larger than the Logitech MK240. More importantly, because the buttons are round, the distance between them is relatively large, which is helpful for fast keystrokes and avoiding mutual restraint between fingers.

The color matching, keycap printing, and workmanship are all good. This color matching has become more popular in recent years, and the keyboard looks good.

K500D uses two modes, or connect via USB transmitter, or connect using Bluetooth mode (displaying B.O.W 5.0 and B.O.W 3.0), the USB transmitter is embedded in the bottom of the keyboard, but from the bottom, it can still be seen that K500D is used as an entry The positioning of the paragraph.

Compared with the more traditional, primitive, and backward 2.4G mode, the Bluetooth connection mode is undoubtedly closer to the current usage scenario. At least one USB interface can be released. After code pairing, the K500D can easily connect to the tablet via Bluetooth.

As an experienced keyboard user, the K500 round keycap design is more friendly to the input speed, the key response speed is good, the force is moderate, and the long-term input will not feel tired. Since I don't pursue the input sound effects of pop, pop, and click, the keystroke sound of this K500 is not crisp and loud, and the volume is moderate. It has the feeling of a typewriter in the past, and it will not affect the work and rest of people around me.
