The ceiling experience of the bluetooth mechanical keyboard: Lofree 1% transparent mechanical keyboard out of the box

Recently, customized keyboards are more popular, so I also bought a lot of kits and assembled a few customized keyboards with the feel and appearance I like, but the so-called customized keyboards are all made up of parts from small workshops. At the same time, the user experience is not so perfect. Either the battery life is not good or the signal is weak or there is a delay. After tossing and tossing, there is no keyboard that can meet all my needs at once. So I turned my attention to the finished keyboard, and I found this Lofree 1% Bluetooth mechanical keyboard, transparent keycap, electroplated bottom shell, transparent surface shell, and even the key shaft is a customized transparent jellyfish shaft. When I saw the online picture once, I felt a refreshing feeling, so I placed an order without hesitation, which led to this unboxing sharing.

First of all, one of the most important factors when buying this keyboard is its appearance. Putting the attribute of "transparency" on any digital product will become a design element that directly hits people's hearts, because transparent digital products are often The internal structure can be seen intuitively, and there is a sense of mechanics and technology, especially on the keyboard.

But problems also follow. Often transparent keyboards need to be more sophisticated in the material and materials of the keycaps and shells. Take ABS material keycaps as an example. There should be no air bubbles in the transparent keycaps. The existence of bubbles will make the image look and feel very good, so there are higher requirements for the process, and the light transmittance of the material must be guaranteed, otherwise when the backlight is turned on, the whole will not be "transparent", which will also affect the look and feel. No small impact.

So this 1% bluetooth mechanical keyboard uses a high-transparency PC cover. When I took out this keyboard from the box, I was afraid that its surface would be scratched. I thought that the base of the entire keyboard was purely electroplated. In fact, it is not, there is a layer of high-transparency PC shell outside the side plating layer as protection, so that the surrounding area is not so afraid of scratches in daily use.

But the bottom of this keyboard is the bare electroplating surface of ABS. The electroplating process is quite sophisticated. The overall surface looks smooth and well-proportioned, with obvious metal texture, and there is a metal nameplate in the middle, which improves the overall design of the keyboard. .

Talking about the metal texture, let’s also talk about the weight of this keyboard. It’s very heavy in the hand. It’s because the key shaft positioning plate uses a metal positioning plate, so that the key shaft can be fixed on the positioning plate more stably. , At the same time, when the key shaft touches the bottom, there will be a more stable rebound feel.

There is a metal nameplate inlaid in the middle of the front side of the keyboard, which improves the overall texture and appearance of the keyboard. In fact, the appearance design of this keyboard is more like a collectible on the whole. After opening the box, I really don’t want to use it. , for fear of destroying this crystal clear feeling.

The keycap uses a self-developed transparent ball cap, but the keycap is turned outward at the bottom position. The purpose of this is to make the gap between the keycap and the keycap when looking down on the entire keyboard. The feel will be smaller, and at the same time, it can meet the user's requirements for the feel of the ball cap, and because of the transparency, the divergence of the light can be better optimized.

The tops of the keycaps are made with ergonomic depressions, and the fingertips feel good when you touch them. At the same time, I also like the feel of this ball cap. For me, who has no fingers, the ball cap can Effectively reduce false touches.

The characters on the keycap adopt pad printing + UV process. Although the font is printed on the surface of the keycap, this process can prolong the retention time of the handwriting, and the wear resistance is still guaranteed, and because the keycap is transparent Material, now there is no need to worry about the oil on the surface of the keycap.

The switch body used in this keyboard is the jellyfish switch of Kaihua MX structure. The linear switch has no sense of paragraph and no clicking sound. When the key switch touches the bottom, there is a certain metallic sound. This feels relatively fresh, and there is no click for those who like linear switches For sound users, the feel of this shaft is just right.

At the same time, the pressure in grams of the shaft body is heavy, so that with the slightly higher keycap height of the original factory, the sound when the shaft body is pressed down and collides with the positioning plate is more obvious. The "mahjong sound" that comes with the original factory, this sound The online experience is also good. At the same time, with the design of full-key and no punch, the keyboard can handle freely whether it is Bluetooth typing for office or wired connection for games.

For a more detailed experience in the feel, first of all, this customized jellyfish switch that is close to the feel of the red switch. Although it is close to the red switch, it is slightly different from the traditional red switch. It feels much better than the support of the red switch. When the shaft touches the bottom, there is a crisp feel of the positioning plate rebounding.

I used the gold powder switch and the blue dragon switch before, so this jellyfish switch has a feeling between the two kinds of switches. This kind of feel is more versatile. Sexy and too strong, the pressure of this jellyfish shaft is not heavy, and the feel is relatively moderate.

In addition, due to the relationship between the metal positioning plate used, the deformation of the positioning plate is almost good when the key shaft touches the bottom of this keyboard. You can clearly feel the strong support given by the metal positioning plate. At the same time, the rebound of the metal provides Better audio feedback.

There are two switches at the bottom of the keyboard, because this keyboard is a dual-mode keyboard that supports wired mode and Bluetooth mode, so there is no separate receiver, which saves the trouble of the storage device. Bluetooth uses the Bluetooth 5.1 transmission protocol , There is no sense of delay in the scene of office typing, which can meet the needs of daily use.

In wired mode, you can use it while charging. The keyboard has a built-in 2000mAh battery. It takes about 3 hours to charge. If you use it for about 8 hours a day, the battery life can last up to 60 days, that is, two months. The experience of using 1 charge, the customized Bluetooth keyboard assembled by myself before, thank God that the battery life can last up to a week, and this 1% battery life is really amazing.

The keyboard supports dual systems of Win system and Mac system, and can be quickly switched through the switch at the bottom, which is simple and convenient to use.

I take it out every day and use it as a 2-in-1 tablet with a Win system. In the office, colleagues who pass by are curious to see this keyboard, because it is really too conspicuous, and I want to keep a low profile Not at all.

After a few days of getting started with the Lofree 1% dual-mode Bluetooth mechanical keyboard, my previous customized mechanical keyboards were all dusted on the wall. Whether it is from the appearance or the feel of use, this keyboard I can't find any faults. If I really want to pick out the shortcomings, this keyboard does not support the hot-swapping of the key shaft, and the shaft cannot be replaced. Because of the transparent keycap, if the shaft can be replaced later , the color of the shaft body inside is clear at a glance, so that the playability of this keyboard will be better, but having said that, if the shaft is changed, it will also destroy the crystal clear texture of the jellyfish shaft body of this keyboard. In summary, this keyboard Gathering the three major elements of appearance, feel and battery life of the Bluetooth mechanical keyboard, it is the one with the best appearance and the best comprehensive user experience among the mechanical keyboards that have been used recently. It is worth recommending!
