[Tested] Is the Xiaomi crowdfunding mechanical keyboard worth buying?

First give a buying suggestion: Unless you like the Xiaomi brand very much and don't have high requirements for the keyboard, it is not recommended to buy it.

There is nothing wrong with the keyboard itself, and the current price is very low. There is no suspicion of IQ tax. It is just that you can buy better keyboards at the same price. The overall quality of this dish is quite satisfactory.

I bought the keyboard during crowdfunding, and the crowdfunding price was 149 yuan. At that time, I recorded a simple unboxing video, you can watch it (subtitles are automatically generated, without proofreading):

Xiaomi keyboard out of the box

Xiaomi’s keyboard uses the “Gate Switch”, which is currently doing relatively well in China: Jiadalong, Kaihua, and Gote, all three of which are good.

This should be the low-end switch body purchased by Xiaomi, which uses ABS keycaps.

The feel of keycaps is not much different from that of ordinary ABS, such as the Keychron series, there is almost no difference. The ABS keyboard is easy to oil and feels smooth.

In terms of button feel, I use the red switch, which is relatively crisp and clean. The noise and the like are not obvious, including the stability of the big keys.

However, when the hand is put on it, there is still the common rattling sound of low-end keyboards, which should be the problem that the shaft itself is not stable enough.

also, The keyboard is 104 keys, white light, compatible with MAC, with feet, 3 adjustable levels, 6 white light modes, no key line separation, 26 keys without punch.

My opinion is that if the budget is more than 100, it is better to look at brands such as Shuangfeiyan, Dareu also has very cheap keyboards. Even Rapoo and Hangshi have particularly good membrane keyboards, and the user experience is very good.

If you have some requirements for the quality of the keyboard, you can look at the C series made by Beijing, and you can buy it for more than 200.

Generally recommended, you can not buy:
