If you want to get by, you must have some materials in your hand. As a digital technology fan, you have at least one or two computers in your hand, and countless keyboard and mouse peripherals, um, not counting. I often draw pictures and code words. This kind of work has unambiguous requirements for keyboard and mouse. As far as my personal choice of keyboard and mouse is concerned, it must be measured according to the price/performance ratio. Talking about the keyboard, I personally need to consider a few points, the smaller the size, the better, the quieter the keys on the axis, the better, the RGB lighting effect must be provided, dual-mode/triple-mode, these are the most important parts, if a keyboard has all of them , Then choose the appearance value, this is not the most recently won a mass-produced version of the mahjong-sound keyboard, Heijue AK816 Pro three-mode gasket mechanical keyboard.

[unpacking]

▲The packaging is designed in a carton box, which is wider and larger. Is it a keyboard with a wrist rest? The cover painting shows the Heijue brand and the LOL professional youth training cooperation brand, which is amazing, and the cooperation with top-tier e-sports games is not bad.

▲ After removing the package, there is a list of accessories, including: Heijue AK816 Pro three-mode mechanical keyboard, transparent dust cover, nylon data cable, three MAC supplementary keycaps, shaft puller, manual, and a large Mouse pad, now I know why this keyboard case is so wide, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

▲It is really an ultra-thick mouse pad. The manufacturer is quite kind. It is sensitive to the high-speed movement of the mouse, with a slight sense of friction and silky movement. The bottom is made of thick rubber material, forming great stability with the desktop, without slipping or drifting. The whole is slightly elastic, and the edges are all knit and overlocked, and the lines are precise, which is very neat. The size is 30*70cm.

▲First of all, this Heijue AK816 Pro three-mode mechanical keyboard adopts 81-key layout and 80% arrangement. The two colors are divided into rock fantasy and cosmic adventure. My model is naturally rock, and it adopts the three colors of double gray and rock red Solution, the overall configuration adopts the Gasket gasket structure, which is currently very popular in customized key rings, with multi-layer poron noise reduction design, the soft connection structure feels soft and elastic, the percussion sound is very pleasant, and the factory comes with mahjong sound.

The so-called Gasket gasket structure is to set cotton strips or silicone pads on the upper and lower covers of the keyboard to support the positioning plate, so as to prevent some components inside the keyboard from hitting the shell when we hit the keys. In addition to the design of the gasket structure, the AK816 Pro keyboard is also matched with a PC positioning board with a softer feel. The overall feel is more comfortable and softer, and the more you tap, the more comfortable you are.

▲ There is also a special design, that is, a quick mute and volume adjustment knob is added in the upper right corner, made of metal, and the adjustment of the rotation process adopts a point design.

▲The back looks like this. The four-corner rubber feet that all conventional keyboards have are non-slip and silent with high friction; the two-stage feet are all rubber on the supporting surface, and the details are good; the three-mode switch and the WIN and MAC dual system keys are also designed On the back, the dots are clear and not meaty at all, and the center position is the brand's certification label must have a drop.

▲The top parallel to the wired mode Type-C interface is the 2.4G mode USB receiver. I like this little detail. Many keyboards, mice, and handles are not slotted in the fuselage to place this receiver. I lost countless, AK816 Pro is good.

Heijue AK816 Pro has a built-in lithium battery with a capacity of 3000mAh. In wireless mode, it can last for 10 hours with full light effect and 100 hours with full light effect. You can press the keyboard continuously for a week without eating, drinking or sleeping.

▲The height of the keyboard when it is laid flat and when the feet are opened is about 4.3cm-5cm-5.5cm, which is convenient for people with different habits. According to the shape of the palm and wrist of the individual, my personal habit is to lay it flat, which is absolutely stable.

▲Heijue AK816 Pro three-mode mechanical keyboard, the factory standard configuration is Jiadalong G Silver Pro 2.0 axis body, factory with lubrication, 80 million times of life, the upper light position is equipped with a light-transmitting mirror and a light guide column, allowing RGB to play a role It produces a brighter effect; the market price is about 130 yuan for 90 pieces, and the average unit price is 1.4 yuan per piece. In this way, the optical axis body is calculated, and this keyboard is 81*1.4=113 yuan; the large keys are fine-tuned by our own The satellite switch, the empty key travel and noise of the large key position are well controlled, and there is basically no noise.

▲The keycaps are made of PBT heat-sublimated MDA ball caps, the fingertips feel more consistent with the touch, and the overall percussion feeling is really comfortable. The advantage of PBT material is that it can be used for a long time and still keep new. Unlike ABS material, the surface will obviously shine after a short period of use.

▲Heijue AK816 Pro three-mode mechanical keyboard adopts full-key hot-swappable Kaihua axis seat, and is equipped with Jiadalong G Silver Pro 2.0 linear axis as standard at the factory. Five-legged axis, a very customized design, you can modify it at will, and it is very friendly to the group who love to toss about nothing. The shaft center of the original G Silver Pro 2.0 shaft body is also upgraded with anti-oxidation gold contacts, and the double-segment spring is upgraded to a single-segment spring, which is more linear.

Bottom pressure: 50g

【Practice】

▲Go to Heijue official website to download the PC driver of AK816 PRO, and install it according to the prompts. The function of this driver is very detailed, but it needs to be used in wired mode, which can achieve:

Combination keys can be configured separately for the FN+ layer, which is very convenient, you only need to remember it, and you can also adjust the key sensitivity;

Single selection of 18 preset lighting effects, playback mode, speed, and brightness can be adjusted, one-click to eliminate dazzling light; you can also set lighting effects such as lighting rhythm with music;

Then there is macro recording, which records key combination functions separately, which is very convenient for entertaining games.

▲Lighting, whole, keyboard with RGB is one of the hard conditions for my purchase, about 16.8 million colors, 18 kinds of lighting effects built-in on the factory board, using FN+ to switch in one stop, with the official PC driver can achieve more Play more. In addition to lighting effects, you can also adjust the brightness, frequency, and direction of RGB. Three sets of game mode lighting effects can be saved for different games, which is enough, and it is enough for me to be bright.

▲To test the comfortable percussion feeling, the ambient sound is basically around 37.1dB. After a series of percussions, the average noise is controlled between 45-55dB, which is quite well controlled, and the stuffiness is very nice Mahjong tone. Moreover, this decibel will not disturb people even in the room at night, and it is very friendly for home use.

▲The ability of full-key non-retouch is necessary for leaving the factory. The full-key non-repeat test is basically done for the mechanical keyboard before leaving the factory. I also tested it slightly, and the performance still meets expectations. There is no red key in the Keyboard software.

▲As a cooperative brand of the League of Legends professional youth training base, it must engage in LOL. There are fewer keys to trigger skills, but there is no lack of ability to test the keyboard. All games have the experience of using the axis performance. In the overall battle situation of the Jiadalong G Silver Pro switch body, others will basically not feel that you are playing a game, but will wonder why this buddy is typing so slowly. With a total key stroke of 3.4mm, the process of skill triggering is faster, and the skill triggering of the shaft body is accurate throughout the whole battle, and every click without dumb keys is effective.

▲Shadow of the Tomb Raider is a classic masterpiece. It can be said that the overall operational sense of the screen is considered the boss of the series. From jumping, to climbing, to rope fixing, etc., the Heijue AK816 Pro performed well throughout the process, with precise positioning, quiet clicks and stable movements.

▲Gears of War 4, as a shooting FPS game, has no urine in the whole process. When you see a monster, you just hit it, retreat and retreat. The overall movement, dodging bullets, and running while holding down the space all show the output performance of the Heijue AK816 Pro excellently. The sensitivity and accuracy of the few buttons in the game are quite satisfactory.

▲In terms of table setting, I like peripherals with RGB. It is best to have them. After turning off the lights, it is definitely a landscape in the room. I will change it to a fully transparent keycap in the future. At present, I feel that the RGB lighting effect has not been able to play. Come out, if you want to see through, it is still a DIY match after all.

【Summarize】

Finally, do a weighing, about 811g, which is basically consistent with the official data. Since this AK816 is not made of aluminum, its relative weight will be much lighter. The relative pressure of carrying a non-aluminum keyboard when going out will be much less.

After two weeks of heavy use, first of all, it operates for 5 hours a day. The battery has not been charged for the first time before leaving the factory. , three layers of mute cotton under the shaft, the direct tapping sound is the mahjong sound, the 18 preset RGB lighting effects are very cool, I hope Heijue will release a fully transparent keycap soon; the volume control button is added on the upper right, which is convenient, It can quickly reduce the volume, the overall output is relatively stable, and the buttons have no empty buttons and dumb buttons. Buy.
