The popularity of mechanical keyboards has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in recent years, whether it is playing games or office codes. Compared with the cheap membrane keyboard, the feel is much more comfortable and crisp. Especially for friends who often compete in e-sports, a keyboard with excellent performance can improve the speed of micro-management and take the lead in the game. For people who type frequently, excellent paragraph sense and reduced false touches are more important. Therefore, there are different axes to meet the needs of the corresponding scene. However, in our daily life, we sometimes process documents in the office, and we also like to play games in our spare time. Is there a way to instantly change the trigger stroke without plugging and replacing the shaft? If there is a demand, there will naturally be products to meet it. As a well-known peripheral brand under the national manufacturer Shuangfeiyan, the newly launched 3-player 3-speed optical axis mechanical keyboard T98 by Bloody Ghost can perfectly solve the problem. Its newly built LT optical axis fully intelligent axis body can directly change the trigger stroke through its own characteristics. Let us quickly take a look at its performance:
1. Packaging:
The product packaging has reversed the previous red and black gaming style of Bloody Ghost, and replaced it with a white sketched keyboard as the base, and the eye-catching handprints have also been changed to a black pixel style. Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the word "3" with colorful gradients, which means that everything is for the player, and triple jumps can be triggered.
In terms of content, in addition to the main body of the keyboard, there is also a key puller and a Type-C port cable. The material of the cable is ordinary rubber, not the previous nylon braided cable, but the cable is longer and still It's solid. Finally, it is the design of machine line separation, which is more convenient to use.
This is not over yet, the manufacturer also provided us with a set of camouflage-colored OEM keycaps (a total of 25 pieces), the thickness of the keycaps is 1.3mm, and the PBT sublimation process is adopted. It is extremely abrasive, and it will not oil or fade under long-term use. It is dedicated to games. It can be seen from the details that Bloody Ghost has truly achieved all the concepts and attitudes considered by players, which is worthy of praise.
2. Appearance:
The T98 of Bloody Ghost is very interesting in terms of model naming. First of all, it is equipped with 98 keys. At the same time, T98 as a heavy tank can also be described as a generation of classics. This naming just fits the theme of the player. The keyboard has two colors, pixel green and pixel gray. I prefer green, which is eye-catching. It is still very handsome with 25 camouflage keycaps (the official clearly stated that there will be more keycaps with rich themes in the future).
The 98 arrangement not only retains almost all the function keys of the 104 arrangement, but also is more compact (the specific "measurement" is 385mm*138mm*41mm), unlike the more compact 78-key, it has an independent cursor and numeric keypad area to meet the input needs in more scenarios. It is the most comfortable for me to use among all the key design.
The LK optical axis keyboard of Blood Hand Ghost is very popular for its characteristics of fast triggering, stable tapping, and durability. This flagship T98 is a big step in innovation. In addition to the key life of 100 million times, it also provides players with 3 levels of adjustable travel, namely 2.0mm (player 1, LT key corresponds to Blu-ray), 1.5mm ( Player 2, LT key corresponds to yellow light) and 1.0mm (Player 3, LT key corresponds to red light).
The red backlight of the keyboard when the player 3 presses the keyboard:
Bright yellow backlight when player 2 presses the keyboard:
3 trips with different trigger pressures can meet the needs of our diverse scenarios of gaming and typing. Just like the official description, it has the mechanical feel of the red switch and the smoothness and quietness of the pink switch. Just press the LT button to switch freely between the 3 gears. There is no need to plug and replace the shaft body in the whole process.
A close-up of the LT key at the top right position: the keycap is specially designed to be eye-catching red, and the different gear strokes can be known through the backlight of different colors. A column of indicator lights next to it are game mode, number keypad and uppercase and lowercase status respectively.
In addition to the 3-speed adjustable stroke, the LT optical axis used by the Bloody Ghost T98 is quite good in hand. The total stroke of the axis body is 3.8mm, and the initial trigger pressure is 45gf. It is a linear axis that goes straight up and down. , The sound-absorbing sponge is added inside the keyboard, so there will be no particularly loud sound when tapping, and its mute effect is very good, and it will not affect TA people during games and codewords.
The nameplate flower logo on the lower right corner of the keyboard is very beautiful. If it can be made into a light-transmitting design, it will definitely improve the visual perception.
The top position of the back of the keyboard is designed in a "T" shape, that is to say, not only the center, but also the left and right ends of the keyboard can go out in three directions. In addition, the bottom of the back of the keyboard is also designed with a drain hole, and with the internal PCB nano-scale waterproof coating, it can avoid certain damage when encountering liquid invasion.
The keyboard adopts the current popular cable separation design, the mainstream Type-C socket, and it is very convenient to replace the cable. In addition, in order to ensure the stability of the wire after it is plugged in, a deep groove with a limit is specially made. The details are still very intimate.
The symmetrical bracket has two sections, and the height of the keyboard itself can be adjusted in three sections. You can adjust it freely according to your own preferences.
The exposed screw holes of the keyboard are also blocked by rubber plugs, which is not only beautiful, but also increases the friction of the chassis, and the keyboard will not move back and forth on a smooth desktop.
3. Experience:
In terms of measured game performance, first of all, the full key of the keyboard has no impact, which can effectively avoid misoperation during the game, so as to obtain a more immersive experience. After playing a few rounds of CS and LOL, when switching to player 2 (1.5mm), the LK optical axis fires quickly, the low-latency characteristics are sufficient for various micro-management, the buttons are responsive, the tapping is clean, and the operation is flexible enough.
And when I further switch the stroke to 1.0mm (Player 3), its speed can be described as "thunderbolt". Veterans who often play games can directly adjust to 1.0mm to experience the smoothness during the game. For players like me who occasionally play games to adjust their lives, it is enough to open it to 1.5mm. Let you dodge and move, and even the moves are like flowing clouds and flowing water, all in one go. This kind of carefree feeling is very comfortable.
In daily office coding, you can use the default player 1 (2mm). It feels smooth and smooth, light and labor-saving, and it is easy to type. And the sound is very small when tapping, and there is no crackling sound. I like to code in the dead of night. When using this keyboard, it will not affect my family. The mute performance is really good. In addition, compared with the latter two gears, it can also reduce the situation of false touches.
Keycap close-up: The keycaps installed by default have good light emitting performance, and the square center has a cut-off design, which complements the tough style of the keyboard as a whole, and the hitting feel is also good. In order to distinguish the trigger strokes of different gears, the keyboard does not have RGB color animation, only the corresponding three backlight effects, but it is also intuitive. Moreover, the look and feel under different color lighting effects is still good. The backlight is soft and not glaring, and the characters themselves are not too obvious. However, with the blessing of the backlight, the characters on different keys can be clearly distinguished at night.
Summary: As a mechanical keyboard specially designed for players, the overall performance of the Bloody Ghost T98 is still surprising. The excellent feel of the LK optical axis combined with 3 different trigger strokes can meet diversified needs. The 98-key arrangement is both compact and full-featured, and the pixel-style appearance is calm and generous. The 25 game-specific keycaps that come with it can be called "know me". All of the above, coupled with its consistent high cost performance, I personally recommend it very much. It is reported that there will be joint themes and more rich keycaps in the future, so look forward to it.
