The balance of materials and feel exceeds expectations: Yufu Y98 three-mode mechanical keyboard

Some time ago, I added a Lege adjustable desk to the study, and then added some small parts one after another, and then put my own desktop speakers on it, and replaced it with a 27-inch 2K monitor with a wireless mouse. I changed to a Razer large-sized mouse pad, because this table is made of solid wood and is very easy to scratch. Just in time for the release of the new mechanical keyboard of Yufu Y98, I fell in love with their steampunk color scheme, so I just used it Match the new desktop in the study.

This is the overall desktop rendering of my current study. I personally think it is very simple. It is very good to listen to music while writing a manuscript. The left hand is the window, and the right hand is a bookshelf full of books. I will have a chance next time. Share the overall study layout. In today’s article, I will focus on sharing the most eye-catching one on the desktop—Yufu Y98 three-mode mechanical keyboard.

I have also written one or two articles about the keyboard of Yufu. My overall feeling is that their keyboard is very good in workmanship and materials, especially the material of the keycap is solid. It is not like some cheap keyboards with good parameters but a strong sense of plastic. , and the details and design are actually not good. On the whole, Yufu Y98 still continues their consistent industrial design style and packaging style that emphasizes practical performance.

In terms of accessories, it is still equipped with the aviation plug-in cable that many users love very much, a key puller and shaft puller, and four shafts, and then there is the keyboard manual.

From the perspective of overall size, Yufu Y98 has a compact size of 39.2*14.3*3.8mm. For users who do not like 104 full keyboards, the 98-key layout is much smaller in size, which makes the desktop more concise and will not Appears overcrowded.

The core selling points of Y98 include the following aspects: full-key without punching, physical knob switch, magnetic pad, metal frame, aviation plug-in cable, and RGB lighting effect. The core point of the difference in speed, my personal favorite is to find a specially designed frame, which is very mechanized in the industrial age.

In terms of shaft selection, users can choose "ttc gold powder v2" or "ttc fast silver v2". The former triggers softly and smoothly, which is suitable for office workers. , Total stroke: 4.0-0.3mm, shaft life: 100 million times type linear shaft.

The latter quickly triggers and rebounds, a more reliable, stable, and fast gaming weapon. As a linear fast axis, the trigger pressure: 45±4gf, the life of the shaft body is 100 million times, the total stroke: 3.4±0.3mm, the conduction stroke: 1.08+ 0.4mm/-0.08mm. To put it simply, office users choose gold powder switches, and e-sports game users choose fast silver switches.

Y98, like other keyboards of Yufu, adopts a five-pin hot-swappable axle seat design. The hot-swappable axle seat can support more axles, which is more flexible and extensive for high-end gamers.

PBT keycaps have basically become the standard equipment for general excellent keyboards. The PBT material has a better hand feeling, non-slip, and no oil. Like cheap keycaps, they often become a layer of greasy after a long time of use, which seriously affects the overall coordination and appearance of the desktop.

I looked at the keycap in detail, and the overall workmanship is still exquisite. Compared with the price of 549 yuan, the workmanship of this keycap is already very good. In addition to the high fit with the shaft body, the corners are rounded. No glitches.

Four Kuaiyin switches are given away. This switch body is still very good. Users can replace it on other keyboards, or use it as a backup later. The workmanship of the switch body is also quite good. Interested users can take it apart to see the accessories.

Y98 has a built-in 4000 mAh lithium battery, which can meet up to 350 hours of use when the light is off, and 14 hours of use even when the light is on. For most users, it is easy to use for 2 hours a day. A week of use is required.

The design of the metal decorative strip is very good. It is very attractive to users to decorate the plain keyboard with a design style of steam elements.

The physical knob is an innovative highlight of the Y98 design. Through the physical button, users can adjust the switch between 2.4G and Bluetooth 3.0 or 5.0 more intuitively. It is not only extremely creative but also very practical, and it is also a feature I like very much.

The back is also very neat, product information and magnetic pads, a pair of magnetic pads with different heights are included, and the four non-slip pads allow you to place the keyboard on any desktop without worrying about scratching the desktop.

Users can choose magnetic pads with different heights according to their own needs.

There are three indicator lights and the keyboard power switch on the upper right, which are very well integrated with the overall design style of the keyboard, and will not look obtrusive. In the middle is the C-port data line interface, which realizes the separation design of the key line, which is convenient for users to store and create a more tidy desktop.

The printing of the characters is also very beautiful, there is no fancy design style, and the overall is still convenient for users to use daily. Personally, I mainly like the color matching of this keyboard, which improves the color of the desktop a lot.

In terms of RGB lighting effects, users can set the lighting effects through the software of Yufu, so as to achieve more flexible and changeable gameplay. It should be noted that users need to use the lighting effect software in wired and 2.4G mode.

The actual lighting effect performance is also very good, and it will not be dazzling when the light is turned off, and there are a variety of lighting effects to choose from, and the color of the RGB light effect is also very positive. On the whole, Royal Ax Y98 has just the right size, coupled with the exquisite steampunk color scheme, the user experience has been significantly improved. The physical knobs give people a very good experience, and with the price in the early 500s, overall it is very worth buying.
