Hello everyone, I am a dream and a pig. Today I will bring you the experience of using a new color scheme of OG80 from an aluminum factory.
The OG80 model of the IQUNIX aluminum factory has recently launched a new color scheme - Happy Vending Machine. When I saw this color scheme for the first time, I strongly hinted to myself: I must buy one.
As a keyboard collector, the products of the aluminum factory have always been the focus of my collection. I have already bought a handful of OG80 before. Those who are familiar with IQUNIX’s previous design style may find it hard to believe that this keyboard is actually made by an aluminum factory when they see the OG80 for the first time. The material is a transparent PC material with a slightly matte texture, and it can give people a very obvious sense of thickness. Although it does not have the pressing feel of aluminum alloy, the overall texture is really quite good.
OG80 currently has three colors of Wormhole, Black Samurai and Happy Vending Machine. Among them, Wormhole has the most options for shafts, and Happy Vending Machine currently provides Cherry Green Switches, Red Switches, TTC Gold Powder, and Quick Silver. We choose.
The OG80 happy vending machine adopts a very unrestrained berry red main color, and the pure white keycaps are matched with the berry red case. This kind of color matching is indeed not often used on keyboards, but the overall combination is actually very brilliant.
Like the wormhole, the happy vending machine also uses this kind of transparent PC material with a slightly frosted texture, and I personally feel that the berry red transparency is more textured than the colorless transparency of the wormhole.
The upper left corner of the keyboard is the storage slot for the 2.4G receiver. When not in use, the receiver can be stored in this position. The red cover above is magnetically attracted to the keyboard. This design can ensure that the receiver does not easily lost.
On the upper right is the IQUNIX brand OG80 model LOGO sign made of silver material. This standard is very delicate, inlaid in the upper right corner of the keyboard, and it has a feeling of complementing the red case.
OG80 Happy Vending Machine is a three-mode keyboard that supports three connection methods: wired, 2.4G and Bluetooth. The Type-C interface is designed on the top left side of the keyboard, and the Type-C interface is used for daily charging or wired connection. , For game lovers, the wired connection may be more recommended, because it will not cause signal delay and ensure a better gaming experience.
The bottom cover of the keyboard is also made of this transparent matte PC material. The internal PCB and battery can be seen through the bottom cover. The wired and wireless can be switched through the bottom switch. After switching to the wireless mode, switch the Bluetooth connection through the combination key And 2.4G connection.
The key layout of the IQUNIX OG80 happy vending machine adopts a stepped structure, which gradually rises from near to far, especially the keys in the F area present a large inclination angle. When used for a long time, the pressure on the wrist will be less, and the natural comfort will be higher.
The 83-key layout saves the number area on the far right, which makes the layout of the entire keyboard more compact. For users like me who have been typing text for a long time, saving the number area will not affect the use Efficiency, and the compact keyboard design can save more desk space.
Pure white and jam red two-color keycaps, white as the main color, red as embellishment, the keycaps are made of PBT material, this material is more durable than ABS, whether it is the touch of fingers or the wear resistance of the keycaps Good, and even after a long time of use, the keycaps will not feel greasy, and the characters will not fall off so easily due to wear.
The keycaps are designed with stylish encouragement patterns, and incorporate lively and round smiling face elements and line bands. These personalized pattern designs form the theme of the happy vending machine, which is very interesting.
In addition to the standard keycaps installed on the keyboard, the IQUNIX OG80 happy vending machine also presents a number of happy-themed keycaps and MAC supplementary keycaps. Through these personalized keycaps, we can match a more personal style. put the keyboard. .
The Happy vending machine currently provides Cherry green switches, red switches, TTC gold powder, and quick silver switches, and there are matte and RGB versions for us to choose from.
My personal favorite two switches are Cherry Green Switches and TTC Gold Powder. This time I chose TTC Gold Powder when I bought the OG80 happy vending machine. The TTC gold powder switch is a switch that can take both typing and games into account. The feel of this switch is very light and soft, the rebound is refreshing with the hand, and the input is easy. Because of the TTC double-sided wall dust-proof button structure, the hand feel can always be Maintain good stability, even if you type for a long time, your fingers can get a relaxed and comfortable tapping feel.
And because of the hot-swappable technology, we can freely replace the switch body according to our own needs, and replace different parts of the same keyboard with different switch bodies, so that we can create a unique keyboard that belongs to us. keyboard.
The IQUNIX OG80 happy vending machine has a matte version and an RGB version. If you are not an RGB lover, you can choose the matte version. The price is more affordable. However, I personally think that the RGB lighting effect of this keyboard is very worth the extra money. That 100 yuan, especially after the RGB lighting effects are projected through the frosted transparent shell, the overall feeling is very good.
The RGB lighting of the IQUNIX OG80 happy vending machine does not look so dazzling, but has a softer ambilight, and the RGB lighting effect needs to be modified in the driver after connecting to the computer. We can directly switch between different lighting effects through the combination of keys The effect and light color are very convenient and quick to use.
This keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh large-capacity battery. When the RGB lighting effect is turned off and the Bluetooth connection is used, the longest battery life is about 3000 hours. Even if it is used for 10 hours a day, it can be used continuously for about 300 days. It can make us forget that this keyboard still needs to be charged.
Of course, if the RGB lighting effect is turned on, the battery life will definitely not be so long. From my experience with the OG80 Wormhole, if the RGB lighting effect is turned on and the 2.4G connection is used, it can be used continuously for nearly two months. , which is also a very good endurance performance.
IQUNIX OG80 Happy Vending Machine is a very unique mechanical keyboard, which is more interesting and cute than IQUNIX's F97 series.
Whether it is the inclined and stepped key layout in the F area, the round and solid appearance design, or the soft RGB lighting effect, it should be said that they can just step on the aesthetics that I can get. In terms of some detailed design, this keyboard is also very well done. The storage card slot can easily accommodate the 2.4G receiver, so we don’t have to worry about accidentally losing the receiver. In addition, the full-key hot-swappable design is also the mainstream design scheme of the current mechanical keyboard. Hot-swappable allows us to DIY a more personalized mechanical keyboard.
