The shape is round and soft, adding a pink face to the desktop, the evaluation of Daryou Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard

As one of the most commonly used peripherals, the keyboard plays an important role in both office and game scenarios. When choosing a keyboard, in addition to paying attention to its hardware configuration and practicality, its appearance is also an indispensable part. However, a large part of the keyboards currently on the market are relatively stable and single in shape, and there are not many keyboards with a personalized design style.

And I recently bought the Daryou Small Cube Sugar Z82 office mechanical keyboard, which has a unique appearance design. It adopts a compact layout scheme of 82 keys, which is not only light but also has an online appearance. Lovely feeling, after this period of actual use, I personally think this mechanical keyboard is both good-looking and easy to use. The hardware configuration is quite good. It is equipped with sky axis V2 with PBT keycaps, and supports wired, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth. There are three connection modes, and then I will share the experience of using this keyboard.

The unpacking process will be skipped this time. In the box, there is the body of the Daryou Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard, a USB-C power supply data cable about two meters long, three spare keycaps of different colors, 2.4GHz Wireless receiver, multimedia rotary button cat claw cover, and manual, but does not come with a keycap puller.

There are currently two color-matched versions of Daryou Small Fangtang Z82 mechanical keyboard, which are vitality powder and canvas white. I have the vitality powder version in my hand. The shell and keycap characters are mainly pink. The pink appearance is suitable for girls. It is very attractive, and adopts a more rounded shape design. The transition between the four corners and the edges is smooth, giving people the first impression of being round and soft.

In addition to the sleek and cute shape design, the size and weight of the fuselage are well controlled. The size of the Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard is 33*14*4cm, and the weight is only 760 grams, which is comparable to a 14-inch laptop. The ratio is even comparable, and the light weight and small size have advantages in portability, so there is no pressure to carry it out and use it.

The mechanical keyboard adopts a compact 82-key layout design. Compared with the common 104-key standard layout, it only compresses the numeric keypad area, which is similar to the key layout on a notebook computer. At the same time, it has a wealth of FN combination key functions, which can realize Screen brightness adjustment and multimedia shortcut control provide users with a more complete typing experience.

Ordinary mechanical keyboards are subject to compatibility, and some keys may not work when used on Mac system devices. This Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard is compatible with Windows and Mac system devices at the same time. It can quickly switch to different operating modes, and flexibly switch between different system devices. The exclusive logo of the Mac system is printed on the side of the keycap.

On the upper right corner of the mechanical keyboard is the multimedia physical knob, which is mainly white in color, and the cat claw cover is made of soft silicone material. You can adjust the volume of the system by rotating left and right, and directly press the knob to achieve mute operation. There are three buttons on the left side of the knob. There are two status indicators, which are caps lock, Bluetooth pairing and charging indicator.

The mechanical keyboard adopts the design of separating the keys and wires. The connection mode switch and the USB-C charging interface are located on the left side of the top. The 2.4GHz wireless receiver is placed under the interface. When the 2.4GHz wireless connection mode is not used, the receiver can be placed directly The storage compartment avoids loss, and the mechanical keyboard supports three connection modes: wired, Bluetooth wireless and 2.4GHz wireless.

The entire shell of the mechanical keyboard is made of PC plastic, and the bottom surface adopts a stepped shape design, which looks more layered and three-dimensional. It is also designed with five slender non-slip rubber pads and equipped with two-stage adjustable feet. The support can be adjusted to three different heights. The mechanical keyboard has a built-in lithium battery with a capacity of 2000mAh. It is advertised that the battery life can reach 15 days when the backlight is turned off.

The mechanical switch mounted on the Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard is the sky switch V2, which is a straight-up and straight-down linear switch. The total stroke of the switch is 4.0mm, the trigger stroke is 2.0mm, and the trigger pressure is 37g. The factory red shaft has a service life of up to 5000W times. The shaft body adopts a blue and white two-tone design, and the upper cover of the shaft body is blue and translucent. The shaft column is white.

Large keys such as the space bar and enter key all adopt the satellite shaft scheme, and replace them with mechanical shafts with a greater pressure in order to offset the weight of the keycap itself, so that the pressing feel between the keys is more consistent, and the mechanical shafts are installed On the positioning plate made of PC, there is a built-in sound-absorbing silicone pad to reduce the cavity sound when the mechanical shaft is knocked to the bottom.

The keycaps of the mechanical keyboard are made of PBT material and are manufactured by a two-color closed-end molding process. The characters directly penetrate the entire layer of the keycap, so there is no need to worry about problems such as character fading. The edges of the keycap are round and neat without burrs. Compared with The ABS material keycap is more resistant to oil stains, even if the keycap surface is used for a long time, it is not easy to oil.

The shape design of this Dalyou small cube sugar Z82 mechanical keyboard visually gives people a kind of elegant and gentle, yet soft and cute feeling. It is not as dull and single as ordinary keyboards, nor as dazzling as e-sports keyboards. Cool and avant-garde, the round and lovely shape is matched with the light pink color scheme, which makes it highly recognizable. I believe that not many girls can resist the temptation.

The mechanical keyboard is plug and play without driver software. Personally, I have always kept the computer desktop as clean and simple as possible. I don’t like all kinds of messy data cables, so I will try to use 2.4GHz wireless connection, which is more stable than Bluetooth wireless connection. Stronger, and there will be no delay, as long as the mechanical keyboard is charged at the right time.

Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard adopts 82-key compact layout design, which is much shorter than the keyboard with 104-key standard layout, which significantly reduces the occupation of desktop space, and the space vacated can be used for other Items, such as the digital tablet that I often use, and the mouse also have a larger movable space.

It supports automatic sleep function. When it detects that it has been idle for a period of time, it will automatically enter the sleep state to save power. When the backlight is turned on, the battery life will definitely be reduced. If you cooperate with the appropriate reduction of the brightness of the backlight, you can easily do it. By charging once a week, I personally think the overall battery life is not bad.

Due to the frequent use of laptops and desktop computers for work, it is indeed difficult to accommodate two mechanical keyboards at the same time in a limited desktop space. It is particularly important to be able to connect multiple devices. Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard supports Bluetooth wireless, wired and 2.4GHz wireless three connection modes, through the connection mode switch on the top of the fuselage, you can quickly switch to different connection modes, through the 2.4GHz wireless mode to connect to the desktop, and the Bluetooth wireless mode is used to connect to the notebook computer.

Next, let’s talk about the subjective feel of the sky switch V2, which is a straight up and down linear switch body, but the pressure in grams is lighter than that of the red switch, and it has a very light pressing feel. It is smooth and smooth without a sense of resistance at all, and it touches the bottom firmly and rebounds neatly.

If it is used in the dormitory, office, library and other scenarios, and there is a higher requirement for the mute effect of the buttons, then you can choose the canvas white version equipped with the Kaihua light tone switch body. The difference between the two should be similar to the red switch and the mute red switch. The difference between the shafts is that they are all straight up and down linear shafts, but the cavity sound of the Kaihua light tone shaft will be much reduced, and there will be a soft feeling when you press down and touch the bottom.

The front of the keycap adopts the design of concave in the middle and raised around the surroundings, which is similar to the shape of a ball cap, but the height is smaller than the latter, so the distance between the surface of the keycap and the desktop is not too high, and it is basically not necessary to use it with a palm rest. , Different from the common design of concave in the middle and convex on the left and right, the concave arc of the keycap fits the arc of the fingertips very well, and the three-dimensional and wrapping sense is stronger when pressed on the keycap.

The keyboard adopts a compact layout scheme of 82 keys, which only compresses the area of ​​the numeric keypad. The layout is very similar to the keyboard on a laptop, and has less impact on the efficiency of daily game input. Function keys, so that it has a more complete text editing input experience.

The upper right corner is equipped with a volume adjustment knob, whether it is in the process of gaming, watching movies or working, you can adjust the volume of the system in real time or enable the mute state. The knob feels just right. When the white knob is covered with soft silicone material After the cat's claw cover, you can't help but rotate and press it to feel its soft and elastic feel.

The mechanical keyboard is equipped with a single white backlight, and supports a variety of dynamic lighting effects. You can choose different lighting effects according to your preferences, and supports four-level brightness adjustment. Since the keycaps made of PBT are not transparent, the white light passes through the pink The reflection of the positioning board is more natural, soft and unobtrusive visually.
