Taowan Keyboard Part 7: Numeric keypad is like light pollution for RGB lovers, you can use it, but you can’t

I am a peach in Loudong. I love life and share good things.

If the article is not long, please bookmark it. If you think it is long grass, pay attention to it?

As a loyal fan of the 87 arrangement, almost all the mechanical keyboards I bought before have 87/84 keys. Currently, I am using a Beijing-made/Keychron K3 brown-axis short-axis mechanical keyboard, and there is no numeric keypad. Isn’t this home office now? There are more reports to be submitted. It’s a bit inconvenient without a small keyboard. Besides, I should add something new to my desktop after the New Year. I think it’s best to Key wire separation, mechanical axis, hot swap , better look better , because I have used the mechanical switch (especially the mechanical switch that I have matched), it is really difficult to go back to the integrated keyboard.

Considering the price, appearance and portability, I bought a LEOBOG 21-key triple-mode digital keypad, which is fully transparent, single-light, and looks good~

☝ The keypad is also packed in a cardboard box, with the product name, brand logo and a line drawing of the keypad on the front. The overall material of the box is relatively stiff, and the packaging box can also be used as storage when the keyboard is not used.

☝ There is a layer of plastic protective film on the body and cables of the keyboard. All the accessories include: keyboard, data cable, product manual, and a dust cover is attached to protect the keyboard when you go out. It is quite thoughtful.

The wire of this digital mechanical keypad is detachable, and the wire is a relatively soft spiral wire, which increases portability.

OK, after reading the packaging, let's take a look at the appearance of this numeric keypad.

☝ The overall layout of this LEOBOG 21-key three-mode keypad is compact, and the body size is about 120×83×38mm. Fn button), while meeting the needs of digital input, it is easier and faster to use, and it is very friendly to users who often use spreadsheets. the

The keyboard shell with a narrow border, the keycaps and the base are all transparent, and the interior is equipped with a milky white POM axis.

The bottom shell of the fuselage adopts a superimposed structure, and a wrap-around RGB light strip is provided in the middle. Although there is only white light, it can also create a good lighting atmosphere for the desktop after being lit. It is also easy to match with other light pollution products. Together.

☝ There is a nameplate at the bottom indicating the product model, rated voltage and current, etc. If it is a metal nameplate, it will have a more mechanical engineering feel.

In terms of details, this LEOBOG 21-key three-mode digital keypad kit has EVA sandwich cotton, and the positioning plate is steel plate. This configuration does not feel bad. ▼

This 21-key numeric keypad adopts a three-mode connection method, Type-C wired connection, Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless, which is very convenient to use. Whether it is connected to a computer or an iPad, you can quickly type a long string of numbers with only 3 fingers, which is much more enjoyable than slowly looking for numbers on the horizontal number keys. It is hard not to love the feel of typing numbers on a small keyboard!

☝ The official page doesn't say what material it is, but only says "the material is solid"... Looking at the light transmittance and gloss, I guess the material of the keycap is ABS.

☝ It is said to be OEM height, but I always feel that it is a bit like Sa... It looks a little bit taller than my Darling 02. The appearance of the keycap is relatively round, and the concave design can better fit the arc between users, and the hand feel is not bad.

☝ Disassemble the keycap and see that the LEOBOG 21-key three-mode numeric keypad is equipped with its own Bingpo switch, which is a light-pressure tea-like switch body. The stability of the switch body is good; although it is not completely transparent, it is milky white The axis will not have any sense of cheapness. It's less than 1 yuan each, which is quite good value for money.

☝ The initial trigger pressure is 49gf, the total stroke is 3.6±0.3MM, the conventional 2mm trigger + 4mm bottom key stroke, the rebound and chirality are good, and the three-finger operation is relatively easy as a small keyboard. With new optimized molds and factory lubrication, what more bike is in this price range.

☝ According to the official statement, the shaft body can provide a trigger life of about 60 million times and has higher durability. The large key position adopts the satellite axis scheme, and the feel will be more stable.

If you don't like the Bingpo switch, you can replace it with TTC or Kaihua in the later stage, and experience why the switch is more expensive than the keyboard~

The hot-swappable mechanical switch is a joy to play~~~ You can even use it as a larger test switch when you don’t use it at ordinary times. You can experience the feel of various switches and maximize the practicality.

☝ Look at the transparency! K3 next to it is really low-key and low-key... The light of the small keyboard has a brightness adjustment function. In the drive-free state, the Fn button can cooperate with other buttons to realize the adjustment functions of light effect, light color, brightness, dynamic speed, etc. It can also be used with the Num button to quickly call up the calculator software, which is very friendly to operators of a large number of digital tables: it is not only convenient for serious work, but also provides a rich way to decompress and fish. The inconvenient part is that in Bluetooth and 2.4G mode, it enters sleep mode in 2 minutes, and goes on strike in 10 minutes... If you do not operate for a period of time and suddenly start to operate, there may be no response, you need to wake it up first

In addition, although it is just a small keyboard with a number area, it still supports the full-button no-dash solution in terms of function, which is sufficient for daily use or game use, and can avoid interference caused by key conflicts and affect the normal user experience.

Generally speaking, as a numeric area keypad, LEOBOG 21-key triple-mode numeric keypad is remarkable in terms of overall appearance, detail workmanship and basic functions (excluding the characters on the keycap):

First of all, it has complete functions and a cheap price. It also has other small keyboards, and the appearance is quite good-looking.

Secondly, the key line separation + spiral line design increases portability.

Three, three-mode + hot-swappable mechanical keyboard, taking into account productivity and DIY fun.

This small keyboard ensures the utilization of desktop space, and can also be used as a tester or keycap display. It is worth the money in the early 100s, and it is not a loss to invest in it!

Another small shortcoming is that the inclination of the keyboard is fixed and cannot be adjusted in two stages, which is a bit limited. To pick a boner, for RGB lovers, it only has white light and no RGB marquee. The light pollution lovers expressed a little regret. If it is RGB, it will be a perfect combination with my other CIY84 kit.

This keyboard supports hot-swappable switches for all key positions, and supports tripod switches and five-pin switches, so... it can be perfectly fitted with the "value" keycap! It’s just that the thought of collecting keycaps seems to have started again. Fortunately, what my colleague gave me was not the word "value", but a small speaker. It is also suitable to match with a small cabbage calendar~

Thank you for watching, and finally I wish you all a happy new year and a prosperous Year of the Rabbit!
