The configuration is full and the color is sexy? Miwu ART Z830 three-mode keyboard

Miwu, as an enterprise under the Xiaomi ecological chain, is deeply involved in the field of computer peripherals and desktop office. The design language has always been adhering to the concise style of Xiaomi ecology. This simplicity is more in line with the aesthetics of contemporary people, and its temperament is in line with office work. The design series mainly focuses on the office market. There are not many product layouts in the game field that the Miwu mechanical keyboard focuses on. With the decline of the exaggerated design language of the e-sports style, the OEM style returns. Value to another level.

The ART series shoulders the most pioneering and exploratory role of the Miwu keyboard, so you can see the new design language, special key layout, and three-mode wireless connection and hot-swappable elements on the previously launched Z870 and Z680. It has become an established fact that domestic brands are crazy. This Z830 is such a keyboard that fully embraces customization. It is very positive in terms of appearance and shaft selection, especially the 83-key personality and key layout. Very unique and practical.

In fact, the Z830's fuselage is quite simple anyway, horizontally flat and vertically square, but the special and compact key layout and the red and white retro color scheme add a bit of charm. According to personality, I believe most players will not refuse. In addition, this Z830 also has a retro gray and white FC play, which is hard not to remind people of the little bully in childhood

Named after the number of keys, the Z830 uses a relatively unique 83-key key layout, which can be divided into 75% according to size.

In the compact key layout, there will be a distinction between the editing keys and directions, and the F area will also be separated so that the keyboard will not be too compact visually.

It should be noted that the Del key next to F12 is an important key in every scene. This is the position vacated by shortening the gap between the F areas, which is a bit hidden.

Visually, it is difficult not to be attracted by the white module on the top of the keyboard. This is not a decoration for visual balance, which will be introduced in detail later.

The NES Play color scheme adds a retro filter to the white and red, which is slightly yellowish and dark.

If I want to say that the design of this keyboard is the most heart-warming, I have to talk about the various characters on the keycaps. It can be inferred that this is a set of fonts independently designed to match the retro theme, using traditional dye-sublimation technology Compared with the two-color injection molding process, sublimation can achieve more refined and additional pattern effects, and is widely used in various theme keyboards.

This Z830 also gives full play to the advantages of the sublimation process. The font in the upper right corner is small and exquisite, and many interesting small patterns are inserted on individual keycaps, such as the progress bar on the Backspace keycap. Although it has no practical effect, it is But many such small details make the keyboard more distinctive.

Needless to say about the characteristics of the PBT material, the Z830 uses the original height keycap with four pointed corners, and the surface has a very fine grainy feel. The quality of this positioning is unquestionable. The only downside is that it cannot transmit light, which is not very friendly to light pollution lovers.

As for the choice of shaft, Z830 still chooses Jiadalong G yellow Pro self-lubricating shaft, which is the favorite of Miwu ART series. As a peripheral enthusiast, you must be familiar with this shaft. There is a wide range of applications in the field of production.

The G yellow switch adopts the classic appearance of the MX RGB switch, but to be honest, the combination of the yellow switch and the transparent cover is relatively mediocre at present when there are so many options for customized switches.

The hot-swappable structure adopted by the Z830 can easily remove the shaft body through the attached shaft puller

The disassembly of the shaft body requires tweezers as an aid

It can be seen that the inside of the G yellow Pro shaft adopts a regular length spring

This G yellow Pro shaft body is made of solid materials and has ultra-high mold precision. When it leaves the factory, both sides of the shaft center are lubricated with oil to ensure the smoothness of the keys on the shaft body, thereby ensuring the pressing feel. Previously, the turmoil of Cherry’s original axle handle was caused by the decline in the precision of the axle body mold, which caused the hand feel to change, which ruined the quality brand that it has established over the years. However, domestic axle bodies such as TTC, Kaihua, and Jiadalong are paying close attention to product quality and improving products. Positioning brings you a customized shaft with a higher bottle and better feel.

Before talking about the feel of the Miwu Z830, it is necessary to emphasize the Gaskte structure and the internal structure of the keyboard. As the most popular structure Gaskte in the key ring, its feel is still very different from the traditional steel plate structure, and the bottom is softer. Feedback Soft, suitable for use with linear shafts.

In addition, EVA sound-absorbing cotton and sound-absorbing bottom pad are added inside the Z830 fuselage to fill the gaps inside the keyboard and absorb the sound, so that the sound of the keys is cleaner and purer when the key is pressed. Factory comes with

With such a configuration, it is unreasonable to say that the feel of the Miwu Z830 is not good. The lubricated Jiadalong G Yellow PRO shaft is smooth and has no noise. The Gaskte structure gives a linear and soft touch. If you are using the original The transition from the factory switch to this switch body, whether it is the quality of a single button or the overall feel, has a very different experience.

The lighter touch and lower key sound make this keyboard more suitable for office use. The reasonable key layout is enough to be an office productivity tool. However, the shortened Ctrl and Alt keys on the right side of the space bar are not suitable for those who need to use a lot of combination keys. PS or Video clips are somewhat limited, which needs attention.

In terms of connection methods, Z830 is currently fully equipped, Bluetooth + 2.4G wireless + wired mode, which has gathered several current mainstream connection methods, summed up in one sentence as "I want them all".

If you have multiple devices, or have a portable need for the keyboard, the three-mode connection can handle it calmly, and even control multiple devices at the same time.

The keyboard switch and wireless/wired switching are all performed through physical switches. This must be well received, mainly because it greatly reduces the learning cost for users. Another thing worth integrating is the push-type switch on the outermost side. Press it to open it, and press it again to pop it up to close it. It reminds me of the repeater when I was a child. It is a very retro switch method, which coincides with the retro theme of the keyboard. .

In addition, there is a separate receiver storage compartment

The top module of the fuselage is also integrated with a connection mode indicator light

The Miwu Z830 has a built-in 4000mAh large battery, which is definitely the largest capacity among mechanical keyboards. The battery life can easily exceed 200 hours, and it can easily resolve battery anxiety.

This kind of battery life is under the condition of the keyboard light. If the light is turned on, the battery life will be greatly reduced. It is only recommended to turn on the light in wired mode.

It is also mentioned above that this Z830 has lights, and it is RGB lights. It was previously used as the standard configuration of gaming keyboards. The cool RGB lights have conquered countless gamers with cool lighting effects and changeable lighting combinations.

Although the current players are gradually returning to rationality and not being so fanatical about RGB lighting, it has become an option of "I can not use it, but you can't live without it". After all, it is quite interesting to watch the lights flowing on the keyboard in the dead of night.

The opaque PBT keycaps on the Z830 block most of the light, and Gaskte’s reflective effect is not very good. The lighting of this keyboard can only be described as mediocre, and the light only flows under the keycaps as the background. Light pollution lovers may be disappointed.

The actual experience of this Miwu Z830 is a keyboard with a high degree of completion, whether it is hardware configuration, user experience or feel adjustment, coupled with the initial price of 399, it is really delicious.

If you insist on finding faults, it may be that the special key layout is weaker in keycap compatibility. If you want to replace other keycaps, you need to do your homework in advance. . However, the quality of the keycaps that come with the Z830 is sufficient, and the super-hard PBT material basically prevents oiling.

The stability in the infinite mode has been very stable after a few days of game testing, because the time to get started is not long, and the battery that comes with the factory has not been used up yet, so the battery life test is not available.

The Jiadalong G yellow Pro shaft with the Gasket structure feels smooth and stable, and the hand feels very soft. After a long time of tapping, the fingers will not experience numbness or discomfort.

Due to the limited space, there are many functions of this keyboard that I have not had time to introduce in detail, such as being compatible with Mac systems, and it also comes with replacement keycaps for Apple systems. The PCB board is compatible with five-pin shafts, basically compatible with all types of shafts on the market.
