The cross-border collision between outdoor and table, aluminum factory ZX75 mechanical keyboard, will carry out the retro small freshness to the end

The aluminum factory (IQUNIX) is really extraordinary in being able to play with the material. Aluminum factories seem to be "forgetting their roots" in recent times. Why is there no aluminum element in the new mechanical keyboard?

It seems that every company that pays attention to design will transform to "life-oriented". This way of embracing the public often ends up in a price war in the mechanical keyboard circle. There is one thing to say, even the "forgotten" aluminum factory has launched new keyboard products one after another, which makes me, an old player, still have the urge to start. Obviously, this is not just caused by materials and configurations. Perhaps the designers of the aluminum factory know how to capture the hearts of users with emotional value.

In fact, aluminum factories can completely take the route of customization, since there must be a reason for "conversion from aluminum to plastic". Maybe I can find the answer in the new camping color of ZX75.

If you are an old player, you must know that the early products of the aluminum factory were mainly aluminum accessories, and the first few batches of products that had just been transferred to keyboard peripherals were quite different from those of the big factories in terms of workmanship details. Now IQUNIX is a mature and confident keyboard manufacturer, so it can naturally win a large number of fans by relying on its design advantages.

ZX75 only completes the packaging design in a minimalist way of Logo + model + waist seal. It can be seen that IQUNIX is becoming more and more confident in its brand and does not need gorgeous packaging to show the excellence of the product.

There are no surprises in terms of accessories, four Mac supplementary keycaps, 2-in-1 key puller, retractable brush, 2.4G receiver, C2A adapter and data cable. It stands to reason that the new color scheme of the ZX75 for camping should unify the design of the data cable. Perhaps people who pay attention to appearance have already switched to the aviation plug-in cable. This cable is optional.

If it is an aluminum factory keyboard that depends on the keycap, then the plastic material can really play tricks. The yellow-and-white color scheme launched in Gravity Wave focuses on the retro style, and the green-white-yellow color scheme for camping is the fresh style of summer and autumn.

IQUNIX's current new keyboards are basically the golden choice of 81-key layout with 75% arrangement, four function keys are reserved, and the arrow keys are designed as independent areas, which are more compact and beautiful than 87 keys. Milky white keycaps + four-corner screws inject retro soul, double green color matching, playful fonts, and refreshing and energetic elements make the overall simplicity of the keyboard not simple.

Different from the cybersteam style of Gravity Wave, the second theme of ZX75 "Camping" is not a simple color change, but a new design.

I have to say that IQUNIX designers have a good control over the appearance, and the first eye-catching point is the retro and fresh style. Green is the main color of the retro style. The designer used three green combinations on the keyboard. The shell is similar to the OG80 frosted transparent green, which is between the two keycap green saturations.

The multimedia knob in the upper right corner solves the convenience of a compact keyboard. Compared with the metal knob on the gravity wave, camping has indeed been "reduced". If it is for the appearance, it is especially important to pay attention to the integrity of the design, so there is no problem with such a design. And the rotation damping and button feel are excellent, and there is no loss of quality due to the plastic.

Turning to the back, the green transparent shell is very popular with lovers of transparent wind. The diagonal stripes add a layer of natural filter under the original frosted perspective effect.

The internal PCB circuit and two batteries can be clearly seen from the transparent case. Considering that the ZX75 is mainly used for long battery life and wireless use, the Type-C port and mode switch design are relatively hidden. It can be said that these two are rarely used in daily use. The only opening. Of course, like the 2.4G receiver storage compartment on the OG80, the ZX75 has not been designed separately, which is a bit regrettable.

This is the first time I have seen the ZX75 foot support design. The S-shaped foot support is skillfully integrated at the bottom of the keyboard using metal magnets. The measured magnetic attraction is very strong, and the lower groove is a fool-proof design, and it cannot be fixed at a different angle. The ZX75 has a slight inclination, so the seemingly low two-stage height support is much higher than expected.

In terms of keycaps, PBT material is used for daily operation. KDA height is the darling of the current retro trend. Ball-like caps are easy to use and feel good, and are accepted by more and more players. The character pattern is more complicated, so the original two-color injection molding is changed to thermal sublimation. Of course, the workmanship is meticulous and the nozzle treatment is still in place, especially the nozzles of R1 (the bottom two rows) are perfectly closed.

There is no problem with the large key balance bar, and they have been factory-run in advance, and the feel is stable and smooth. I need to make complaints about it. The ZX75 camping dragon bean in my hand is too tight. Pulling out the keycap not only pulls out the dragon boat, but even the dragon bean is pulled out by me (a miracle with great effort). . .

IQUNIX ZX75 provides TTC/Cherry two shafts, with or without RGB light effects, the price is basically the same, you can choose according to your preference. Because I have shared a lot of content about TTC quicksilver and gold powder switches (both V2 versions), I would like to call it the ceiling of the current domestic switch body. In addition to the recent wave of price increases, buying finished keyboards has become cost-effective s Choice. As for the follow-up playability, full-key hot-swapping can play with more possibilities. If you start with the RGB version, pay attention to the keycaps that are suitable for the lower light position (side engraved, transparent).

Three-mode, long battery life, TTC fast silver, RGB light effect, no matter how these words are put together, they will be a practical man who can attack games and defend office. It is not easy to surpass the previous generation, ZX75 has a big improvement in battery life compared with OG80 (4000mAh), other aspects are basically a set of new design concepts and ideas. Seemingly transparent plastic, the ZX75 itself weighs 1100 grams. It is still not a portable positioning, but it can still become the C position of the table.

In addition to more office films, mechanical keyboards have already become the mainstream. In the days without the original CHERRY shaft, new products are bound to show their unique side in front of consumers. It takes more courage for aluminum factories to gradually get rid of the "aluminum" element in mass-produced keyboards. Fortunately, the design is online and the workmanship details are kept up to date, which makes the three-mode keyboard such an excellent choice. Designers can grasp the outdoor cultural influence of the post-mask era and quickly integrate the camping theme into the ZX75 series, which is worthy of recognition in itself.

In this highly introverted domestic key ring market, aggressive models are even being sold at the price of the entire machine at the price of the shaft. To be honest, I feel sorry for some passing brands. Perhaps in the eyes of netizens, it is the so-called cost-effectiveness, but time and facts will tell everyone that what you pay for is not applicable to all products.

The pricing of IQUNIX ZX75 is definitely a representative of high prices for new forces. When the price (cost) of the domestic shaft is not low, and compared with the previous generation products, it seems that such pricing is a very reasonable basis.
