The Digital Life of Malan Shrimp Chapter 145: Mini and Simple, Undiminished Performance, Rapoo V700 Multi-mode Mechanical Keyboard

I have come into contact with Rapoo products in recent years. I never thought that it is still a company that has been on the market for many years. It has experienced ups and downs and has been fighting around digital products. It has used some of its e-sports series products, such as e-sports mouse and earphones, and also used office series keyboards, but it is the first time to use its mechanical keyboard. Let me take a look at this new one below. Released the Rapoo V700-8A three-mode Bluetooth mechanical keyboard.

For this new product, Rapoo chose a compact design with 84 keys, which is light and portable, and supports backlighting. For this purpose, it has designed three colors: Lonely Warrior, Mecha Purple, and No Man's Land. The self-developed shaft, "Rapoo shaft". At present, there are four choices of black switches, green switches, brown switches, and red switches. The choice of self-developed shaft body can effectively reduce the cost.

There are not many keyboard accessories, and there are no keycaps that are compatible with the Mac system. It seems that they are not compatible with the Mac system. In addition to the body keyboard, it is also equipped with an instruction manual, a Type-C cable, a keycap puller, and a 2.4G receiver.

This keyboard is in no-man’s-land color scheme, with gray and white main colors, and a minimalist style. The size of the keyboard is 310.1x120.2x35.5mm, and it weighs about 787g. It feels relatively heavy. The frame is made of aluminum alloy, cut by CNC process, and treated by sandblasting and oxidation process, which brings a cool and technological texture. The buttons are designed in a floating style, and each trigger is like a dancing elf.

The edge of the upper edge of the middle frame of the keyboard is designed with a Type-C interface, which can be used for charging or connecting to a computer. The keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, which can be used while charging. After being fully charged, with the Rapoo low-power wireless technology, it can be used continuously for up to 2 months.

From this angle, we can see the minimalist design of the keyboard, the floating buttons and the metal middle frame show the ultimate industrial design and industrial level, which is also the reason why this product is attractive. There is also a V brand logo indicator light on the edge of the middle frame, which can also be set to three modes: constant light, breathing light, and off. It emits white light during normal work, and the red light is always on when charging.

The keyboard supports three connection modes: Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, and wired. The five keys of 12345 respectively identify these three connection modes, which can be switched among Bluetooth (connecting three Bluetooth devices), wireless, and wired three-mode connections. During the connection process There are corresponding LED indicators for prompting, which are located above the keyboard keys.

The bottom of the keyboard is designed with a non-slip rubber pad and a height adjustment bracket. The contact surface of the bracket also has a non-slip rubber pad, which makes it very stable on the desktop. In addition, the power switch of the keyboard is designed at the bottom, next to the bracket.

On the whole, the keyboard is relatively high, and the floating buttons feel higher. If you use the keyboard for a long time to work, it is recommended to equip it with a pillow.

The red keycap puller equipped with the keyboard is not easy to use, the length and toughness are not enough, and it is easy to break, so you still have to use a wire puller. Replacing the keycap is a major feature of the mechanical keyboard, which has a certain degree of playability, and you can choose keycaps of different colors according to your own preferences.

Another reason to buy a mechanical keyboard is for a different typing experience. The feedback and sound brought by mechanical triggers are not found in conventional membrane keyboards. This is also a great charm of mechanical keyboards, and there are various The mechanical switch body provides options, and the more advanced keyboard can also customize and replace the switch body, which is very playable and customizable.

Rapoo has designed four self-developed switches for this keyboard: red switches, brown switches, black switches, and green switches. My most commonly used switch body, I almost always choose the red switch for mechanical keyboards. It has both quietness and typing pleasure. The keyboard is also fixed with a steel plate. In terms of materials, Rapoo is unambiguous.

Note: The silence here is not pure silence, but the sound of typing is relatively quiet.

The keyboard uses a satellite shaft design, and two shafts are added on both sides of the large key shaft of the keyboard to ensure consistency even if both sides of the large key are pressed.

The actual adjustment of the satellite axis is very good, there is no sound of rubbing steel wires, the hand feel is relatively good, the pressing is not strenuous, the feedback is sensitive, the rebound is fast, and the feedback can be given with a light press. The overall feeling is very comfortable.

The keycap adopts two-color injection molding process, which has uniform light transmission, wear resistance, and anti-fading. The surface has a matte texture, and the fingertips feel delicate. The tactile material is like PBT. The surface is not easy to be shiny after long-term use, which is very suitable for long-term typing.

The characters on the surface of the keycaps are positively engraved, and the keyboard backlight can be displayed through the keycaps. The keyboard only supports one white light display, and supports a total of 7 lighting effects. You can switch through the ripple mode, constant light mode, single light mode, breathing mode, starry mode, and curve mode through FN + right ctrl key, the seventh custom The mode needs to be set in the driver software via a wired connection.

The keyboard supports Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4 G wireless and Type-c to USB wired three modes to connect five devices, full coverage to meet the current work and life scenes, you can switch between computers, mobile phones, and tablets at will, and the 2.4 G wireless adapter has been redesigned Design, lower latency, faster response, more stable output. Considering that the performance of mobile phones and tablets is getting stronger and stronger, they can be used as "computers" after screen projection, so it is necessary for the keyboard to support the mobile phone system, which can improve input efficiency.

The keyboard supports 84 keys without conflict (in wired mode, only 6 keys without conflict in wireless mode), that is, when multiple keys are pressed at the same time, the input effect can be achieved. I feel that this is a very small function, and I haven't encountered such a requirement so far. There may be a requirement to trigger the button at the same time in the game. I tried to test the character keys pressed at the same time in the notepad software, and indeed they can all be recognized, but I feel that this is a test of the response speed of the keyboard. After all, there is still a time difference depending on the hand speed test, but this is enough for most Even for games, it is enough.

As for the non-conflict of all keys, it can be intuitively reflected in the keyboard driver software (RapooGameDev). Under the macro setting item, you can set the delay time. If both are set to zero, it means that multiple keys are activated at the same time.

"Macro setting" is a powerful and niche function with rich playability, but it is rarely used by ordinary people, but it cannot be denied that it is a must-have function for an advanced keyboard. The keyboard supports full-key macro board storage settings , you can set various key macros to complete the original cumbersome and complicated content with one key, such as one-key input code, one-key trigger game ultimate move or other ways you can think of.

The keyboard driver software supports local settings, cloud saving and downloading, of course, the onboard memory of the keyboard can also be saved, and supports shortcut keys to switch custom key configurations. The keyboard supports a variety of custom key configurations, which can be set to call a single key or a combination of keys. Of course, you can also set a lighting effect mode, which is very playable.

Although the keyboard has only one color backlight, the brightness can be customized and adjusted. You can set the brightness for each key individually, and you can also adjust the intensity and strobe, which is an interesting design.

The keyboard with 84-key layout is really small, which is much smaller than the small keyboard I am using. The design of separated keys and wires reduces the space occupied by the desktop and is easy to carry, which is conducive to creating a simple and orderly desktop gaming space . In fact, such a minimalist design has made a lot of sacrifices, and it may not be able to meet the needs of most people, so choose according to your own situation.

I have also used Rapoo’s keyboard and mouse for a while. The product quality and performance are good. Occasionally, I can find customer service to solve problems happily. Moreover, Rapoo has been deeply involved in the field of e-sports for many years, and has also gained a certain reputation. The price is close to the people. The product is cost-effective and has attracted many fans. This V700-8A keyboard is a distinctive keyboard. The compact layout of 84 keys is both a bright spot and a shortcoming, but it does not hide the quality of a high-end mechanical keyboard. It has all the functions that others can ignore. It has backlight lighting effects, and the price is relatively low. It is a mechanical keyboard with good cost performance.

The workmanship and design are good, and the appearance is high.

The three-mode connection mode can support three Bluetooth devices and can connect up to five devices.

Full-key custom programming expands the playability of the keyboard and meets the needs of advanced players.

Backlight design with adjustable brightness and strobe, supports seven lighting effects.

The self-developed Rapoo switch provides a unique button experience.

There is no matching Mac system keycap, and the plastic puller is easy to break.
