The Digital Life of Malan Shrimp Chapter 148: Keyboard Lighting Effect Ceiling? Heijue AK816Pro three-mode gasket hot-swappable mechanical keyboard

Why do you like mechanical keyboards? I like the feedback of typing, because it is the most realistic sense of control, presumably this is the reason why many friends choose mechanical keyboards. However, there are so many mechanical keyboards, how to choose? Check out this Heyjue AK816PRO three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard that I am using recently.

Heijue designed a gift box packaging for this keyboard. When I saw it for the first time, I thought it was high-end and atmospheric. Who would have thought of buying a keyboard and giving something as a gift. The relevant information of the product can also be seen on the shell packaging, such as e-sports elements, etc., which also shows the tonality of the brand.

The packaging in the gift box is compact, including the keyboard body and a bonus mouse pad; the official only designed two colors for this keyboard, "Cosmic Adventure" and "Rock Rhapsody", dark and light two color styles, to meet the preferences of different people. The one I bought is the "Cosmic Adventure" in yellow, white, and gray colors, and some imagery patterns related to the universe, such as "alien", "spaceship", and "meteor", are used on some keys. Of course, the pattern of the mouse pad also fits the theme of "Cosmic Adventure".

There are many keyboard accessories. In addition to the main body keyboard (①), it is also equipped with an instruction manual (②), a Type-C cable (③), a replacement keycap for the MAC system (④), and a dual-purpose puller for the keycap and shaft ( ⑤), keyboard transparent dust cover (⑥), and a 2.4G wireless receiver hidden inside the keyboard.

The white-based keyboard is light and lively, slightly small and fresh, and looks good. It has 81 key positions, the keyboard size is 327.5x136.5x40.38mm, and weighs about 812g. The overall feel is relatively light (compared to mechanical keyboards) ).

The outer frame of the keyboard is made of ABS plastic material. It has a tough line design style, with obvious lines and edges and corners, but it does not hurt the hand. The overall texture and look and feel are good.

A metal knob is designed in the upper right corner of the keyboard, which is used to adjust the volume. Press it to turn on and off the mute, and rotate it left and right to adjust the volume. It is the characteristic design of this keyboard, which can not only increase the recognition of the keyboard, but also realize quick operation.

The key cap is made of different materials from the keyboard body, PBT material, sublimation process, the surface is not easy to wear and fade, and it is also anti-oil, the surface writing color is positive, and the touch is dry; MDA height, ball cap design style, rounded corners, contact area Larger for a more comfortable hand feel.

The three LED light strips correspond to different function displays. At this moment, the white light strip indicates that the 2.4G wireless connection is in progress. If it is bright red, it means that it is connected to Bluetooth device 1; if it is bright green, it means it is connected to Bluetooth device 2; The switching connection is switched by Fn+Q/W/E).

The bottom of the keyboard is designed with a non-slip rubber pad, and two height adjustment brackets. The contact surface of the bracket also has a non-slip rubber pad, which makes it very stable on the desktop. The two-section height adjustment bracket and the original flat state can realize three height differences, fully meeting the needs of different groups of people.

A dial switch is designed next to the adjustable bracket to switch the connection mode and system key position, so as to realize the three-mode connection and switch between up to five devices.

The top of the keyboard is designed with a Type-C interface and a storage space for the 2.4G wireless receiver, which can be taken out when in use and put away when not in use to avoid accidental loss.

The keyboard has a built-in 3000mAh lithium battery. When the battery is low, the battery indicator on the keyboard will light up in red to indicate that it is also red during charging, and it will turn green when fully charged. After being fully charged, in theory, it can achieve a continuous battery life of about 100h in wireless mode and turn off the lighting effect. Even if the lighting effect is fully turned on, it can continue to use for 10h, which shows that the battery life is very strong.

One of the charms of mechanical keyboards lies in the switches. In addition to the authentic CHERRY switches, domestic switches have become better and better in recent years. For example, the switches produced by Jiadalong are used by many keyboard manufacturers. Heijue chose Jiadalong G Silver Pro 2.0 axis body for this keyboard, which has been lubricated before leaving the factory, with a trigger pressure of 43g, smooth and light hand feeling, and the transparent light-focusing cover can ensure better light transmission; this keyboard also It supports full-key hot-swappable functions, and is compatible with 99% of three-legged/pentapod switches on the market. It has high expandability and playability, and is convenient for DIY to create a personalized keyboard that suits your own feel at any time.

The keyboard uses a satellite shaft design, and satellite shafts are set on both sides of the shaft body to ensure consistency even if both sides of the large key are pressed. You can also see white grease in the picture, indicating that the keyboard has been adjusted before leaving the factory, and it also explains Heijue's brand mission of "creating the ultimate peripherals and sharing a better life" from the side.

The actual measurement of the adjustment of the space satellite axis, the tactility and feedback are very good, there is no friction sound of the steel wire, and the hand feel is relatively good.

The shaft body supports hot swapping, and the shaft body can be easily pulled out by pressing the two plastic shrapnels on the top and bottom of the shaft body with the attached shaft puller.

The shaft adopts GATERON G silver Pro 2.0 shaft body, the trigger stroke is 1.2±0.3mm; the trigger pressure is 43gf; the full stroke is 3.4mm. The service life can withstand 80 million knocks. The design effect of its transparent spotlight cover is very good, which can well restore the light effect emitted by the RGB backlight beads.

In addition to the standard eight colors, the RGB lamp beads next to the shaft body can also set 16 million colors according to the RGB value (need to be set in the Heyjue driver software). It can also be seen from the picture that the color of the lamp bead becomes more divergent and brighter after passing through the focusing cover of the shaft body. All the lamp beads can be combined to form a variety of light effects. Heijue has designed 18 preset lighting effects for the keyboard, which can be switched by buttons, and the brightness and speed can also be adjusted. In short, it is very cool.

Due to the ultra-short key travel of 1.2mm on the Jiadalong G Silver Pro 2.0 switch, it brings a shorter key trigger time and can complete operations faster in games. It is a switch that is very suitable for playing games. Whether you hold the switch in your hand or put it in the keyboard, you can feel the stability, silkiness and smoothness of the switch when you press the test, and the sound is not too loud.

The positioning plate of the keyboard is made of PC material, which is the white plastic layer, which is much softer than the steel plate material. Combined with the GASKET soft connection structure, it can achieve the effect of deformation buffer when pressing the mechanical shaft, thus giving people a soft typing touch .

The black and soft layer below is noise-cancelling cotton, and there is noise-cancelling cotton on the bottom. Heijue has designed three layers for this keyboard. During the process of pressing the shaft body, it can eliminate most of the cavity sound and reduce knocking. Hit the sound to achieve the effect of mute. So this keyboard is also suitable for users who prefer a quiet touch.

The installation of the shaft body is also very convenient. This is the charm of the hot-swappable shaft body. It has great playability, so that we can replace the shaft body according to our own needs. For example, if this set is tired of playing, change to a new one The experience is much lower than the cost of changing a new keyboard, and the money saved can be replaced with keycaps or other accessories.

At the same time, the replaceable shaft body also makes keyboard maintenance more convenient. We often encounter situations where the keys fail and do not respond in our work. At this time, we can solve the problem by replacing the shaft body.

The keycaps are made of PBT material, which is durable and wear-resistant, and the fingertips feel delicate, and the surface is not easy to be shiny after long-term use. The character patterns on the front of the keycaps are made of thermal sublimation technology, and the characters are clear and soft and not easy to wear, which is most suitable for long-term typing. The height of the keycap adopts the height of MDA, the design style of the ball cap, the corners are rounded, and the contact area is larger, giving people a more comfortable feel.

The keycap installation is also very convenient, just press down after aligning. In order to avoid the reverse direction, Heijue designed the characters on the upper left position of the keycap, so that there will be no mistakes during installation.

Simulating the feel of typing, it can be seen that the press feedback is very sensitive.

The keyboard supports Bluetooth 5.0 and 3.0, 2.4 G wireless and Type-c to USB wired three-mode connection, and can switch and connect five devices at the same time, with full coverage to meet the current work and life scenarios. The keyboard supports Windows/Mac OS dual-system recognition function, and also supports automatic recognition of iOS and Android systems, and automatically matches the common keys of the corresponding systems. Considering that the performance of mobile phones 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.

Regarding the custom settings of the keyboard, it is necessary to connect to the PC through a cable and install the Heijue driver software before it can be successfully connected and set up. Of course, the settings also support cloud saving and downloading, and only need to register and log in with the Heijue account. There are also keyboard configuration and macro files shared by other keyboard users in the software, which can be downloaded with one click for your own use. However, the file name and description are not specific, and you don’t know what the specific configuration is. It is best to adjust the settings according to your own needs.

The keyboard supports full-key conflict-free and macro editing, with powerful functions and high playability. Unfortunately, most people seldom use it, but it cannot be denied that it is an essential function and basic quality of an advanced keyboard, laying the foundation for future potential use requirements. .

The keyboard supports multiple configuration modes, which can be switched through the driver software. For example, the default mode is our common keyboard input mode. You can also set the second mode according to your own usage scenarios. In this mode, a single key can realize the function of a combination key or the function of a mouse. The customization ability is excellent and can meet the needs of advanced keyboard players. In addition, the Fn combination key can be set in a more subdivided manner, so as to expand more shortcut functions.

The lighting effect switching of the keyboard, 18 prefabricated lighting effects, can not only adjust the brightness and frequency, but also switch the color of the backlight and switch the direction of the dynamic light. This is the first time I have seen the lighting like this.

Accompanied by such lighting effects, it is really pleasing to the eye.

Even in the daytime, the lighting effect is quite prominent.

After using the Heijue AK816PRO keyboard for a while, I say without hesitation that this is the best keyboard I have ever used. Because it integrates all the functions of the keyboard in my mind, the first is true wireless three-mode, even if your computer does not have Bluetooth function, you can use 2.4G wireless or wired connection, which is simple and convenient; the second is the "mute" feature, The design of the PC positioning board and GASKET soft connection structure and the use of three layers of noise-absorbing cotton can minimize the sound of the mechanical shaft, allowing me to enjoy the percussion of the mechanical shaft without affecting others; the third is the RGB light Effect, the lighting effect equipped by Heijue can be called the ceiling of the keyboard lighting effect, and the clever selection of the focusing shaft can more prominently express the lighting effect. Of course, other excellent functions are the icing on the cake, which further enhances the advantages of this keyboard. If you have the same needs as me, you can try this keyboard.

Excellent craftsmanship design, good feel and appearance, and a unique volume adjustment knob.

Pluggable mechanical shaft configuration, high playability.

Strengthen the quiet design, use PC positioning board and GASKET soft connection structure and three layers of sound-absorbing cotton.

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.

Cool lighting performance.

The nominal 100-hour battery life is too short (without turning on the light), and the battery life after turning on the light effect is only 10 hours, which is a bit short.
