The mechanical keyboard I bought following the trend is actually not bad——The experience of using Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard

The pressure on the green axis is too high, and the confirmation of the linear axis is not strong. Is there a keyboard with a good sense of confirmation and labor-saving? I asked a group of omnipotent friends to give a keyboard recommendation, and the recommendation rate of this Daryou A81 is not bad. I also liked its appearance at a glance, so I started to experience it for more than ten days. I found that the mechanical keyboard I bought following the trend was actually not bad.

unpack

Simply open the box, keyboard body*1, replacement keycap, data cable*1, key puller*1, dust cover*1, manual*1

The overall packaging is relatively delicate, the outer packaging is shiny silver, and the label of the shaft body is pasted on the bottom.

Exterior

The first thing I fell in love with was the appearance of this keyboard. The purple, yellow and white color scheme is very eye-catching and very energetic. People can't help but want to play with it when they see it. The keyboard layout adopts a 75-column layout, which is relatively compact and can save desktop space to a great extent. Put it together with the notebook, even not exceeding the length of the notebook, elegant and generous.

From the side it looks like a rising staircase. The height is moderate, and the effect is better with a hand rest.

On the left side of the keyboard is a three-mode switching switch, the leftmost side of the switch indicates a wired link, A indicates a 2.4G receiver link, and BT indicates a Bluetooth link

There is a 2.4G receiver storage port on the right side of the keyboard, which is very convenient to take out and put in

On the top is the Type socket, and the operating system switch.

The functional layout of the entire keyboard is relatively reasonable, and it is very easy to operate.

The brightness of the backlight of the keyboard is also good, with a gradient design. Turning on the lights at night has a visual sense of dancing at night, which is very cool

feel

Of course, a keyboard can't just look at its appearance. The feel of the keyboard is also very good.

First of all, the keycaps are made of PBT two-color keycaps with the height of the original factory. The surface has a matte texture and fine-grained feel. Keep the keycaps dry.

The keyboard's paragraph feel is well controlled, the bottoming sound is crisp, the bottoming touch is direct, and typing is very brisk. The noise of the keyboard is also well controlled. It can be seen through the shaft hole. The bottom pad and sandwich pad made of silicone are used, and poron shaft seat cotton is added between the bottom pad and the PCB, so the space of the overall keyboard Cavity noise is still relatively ideal, and the sound of percussion steel wire can hardly be heard.

It is worth mentioning that the large keys of this keyboard are also very dry when pressed, without the stiff feeling of meat. Pull out the keycap and see that the large key uses a satellite shaft. After consulting the official website, it is found that it has been lubricated and tuned at the factory. Therefore, the large key can keep the feel smooth and the axis stable.

Non-sinking direction keys, the interval is an indicator light.

All in all, the soft elastic feel of the keyboard is very obvious, a bit like a tea switch. That is to say, the paragraph sense is preserved, and the trigger pressure is also reduced. The control of noise is also in place. The typing is brisk and the sense of confirmation is strong, which is very suitable for typists.

Full key hot swap

A81 supports full-key hot-swap, which makes it very easy to replace the shaft body by yourself, and the compatibility is also very good, compatible with most shaft bodies on the market. Whether it is repairing or customizing the keyboard, it is easy.

structure

The internal stacking of the A81 is also unambiguous. The upper and lower covers of the keyboard can be easily removed with a crowbar. This is also for customization, making the structure as stable and easy to disassemble as possible.

Take off the upper cover and you can see that the inner tank of A81 has been added with a positioning plate. After all, all keys are hot-swappable, and of course the positioning plate must be added. The positioning plate is a slotted positioning plate made of PC material.

The elastic arm gasket structure is adopted in the structure, and the T-shaped PC material positioning plate is combined with the high-toughness silicone sleeve to increase the soft contact force of the elastic arm and make the pressing feel softer. The silicone sleeves on both sides of the elastic arm not only play the role of cushioning but also fix the inner tank to prevent the inner tank from shifting. The elastic arm also makes the movement of the entire keyboard more integrated and less noisy

The keyboard base is filled with a combination of 3.5mm silicone pad and 1.5mm thick Porom cotton, which greatly reduces the noise caused by the internal cavity of the keyboard, which makes the keyboard feel close to pure, authentic mechanical shaft feel.

Summarize

The price of Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard is less than 500. Whether it is the appearance texture, product structure, and functional configuration, it has achieved a good level. The soft and elastic paragraph feel is very suitable for people with a lot of code words, such as planners, manuscripts, and programmers. A class of occupations. At the same time, the keyboard can be customized to a high degree, whether it is the shaft body, the cover, or the top decorative strip, you can DIY, and you can easily create a unique personalized keyboard that only belongs to you.
