The strongest in the same price range: Heijue AK992 wireless three-mode gasket mechanical keyboard

The new year has begun, and before the Spring Festival, I bought another host for myself, so that there are two computers in the study, and the next step is to buy computer peripherals. In terms of keyboard selection, I want to choose a mechanical keyboard with a stylish and beautiful appearance and a wireless connection method, so as to make the desktop look more tidy; of course, the most important thing is the price, which is best controlled within 300 yuan.

After searching around, I found that Heijue’s latest AK992 wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard is more suitable for my needs. This keyboard not only has three connection methods, but also has a good appearance. The official price is 299 yuan, which is considered a similar keyboard. Best value for money option. Although it was the first time I came into contact with the Heijue peripheral brand, I still placed an order without hesitation. After receiving the goods and using them for nearly a week, I will talk to you about this keyboard below.

From the Heijue AK992 three-mode mechanical keyboard outer packaging box, it can be seen that the Heijue peripheral brand is a partner of the League of Legends professional youth training base, which also indirectly shows that its products have certain advantages in the performance design of e-sports games. At the same time, the back of the box shows the advantages of this keyboard: mechanical switches, full-key hot-swappable, RGB backlight, PBT OEM keycaps, and these features will be described in detail later. In addition to the keyboard, Type-C cable, key puller, shaft puller and instruction manual, there are also 8 replacement keycaps and 4 shafts in the box. The accessories are quite rich.

Heijue AK992 three-mode mechanical keyboard is available in four colors: Spring Song, Green Field, Lan Qin and Brown Sugar, but currently only Chun Ri Song has RGB backlight options. This keyboard uses a compact key layout of 99 keys + 1 volume knob, including 70 keys and a numeric keypad area for daily use. This layout is really delicious once it is used. AK992 also adopts the design of high and low keys, and the undulating structure is more ergonomic, making the typing posture more comfortable and natural.

The body shell of Heijue AK992 three-mode mechanical keyboard is made of ABS injection molding material (high hardness, corrosion resistance), which also makes this keyboard lighter (≈800g), and it is lighter to carry when going out occasionally, and it does not affect the machine at all. body feeling.

The keycaps are made of PBT material, which is wear-resistant and non-greasy. You don’t have to worry about the characters of the keycaps fading after a long time of use. The light matte texture is not easy to leave fingerprints and feels good. Moreover, the keycaps use the OEM standard height, which can be replaced with the original factory or other standard keycaps, leaving more room for DIY and improving the playability of the entire keyboard.

Heijue AK992 three-mode mechanical keyboard has three mechanical switches of green, red and tea (the price is the same). There is no difference between these types of switches, and users can choose according to their own needs. The blue switch triggers a slightly longer key travel, the percussion sound is slightly louder, and the sense of paragraph is stronger; the red switch has the same key travel as the brown switch, and the rebound feedback of the red switch is more direct, and the use experience of the brown switch is closer to that of a membrane keyboard. It depends on personal usage habits. I chose the tea shaft, because it is more in line with my experience.

AK992 also uses a hot-swappable shaft seat, and the full key supports shaft replacement. 99% of the three-legged and five-legged shafts on the market are compatible. In this way, we can replace some buttons according to our own usage habits It is very convenient to replace the shaft body by directly plugging it in.

When changing the keycaps, I found that a layer of EVA sound-absorbing cotton was added under the keys of Heijue AK992, which is different from other mechanical keyboards I have used before. According to the official announcement, in addition to this layer of sound-absorbing cotton, There is also a layer of IXPE shaft underlayment and a layer of EVA bottom cotton underneath, which greatly reduces the noise caused by the hard collision between the internal components of the keyboard and the shell during the pressing process, making the keyboard sound softer and less harsh.

In addition, it has to be mentioned that this keyboard also uses a more expensive gasket structure, which has the characteristics of better consistency of keys and softer touch, etc., on many customized keyboards Both have been adopted, which is quite admirable.

It is said that details determine success or failure, and Heijue AK992 keyboard has also made a lot of thoughtful designs on the back. In addition to three height-adjustable double-section tripods, a fixed slot is designed at the Type-C interface, which can effectively prevent the wires at the joint from being bent and damaged due to long-term pulling, and a separate three-way outlet slot is also designed , even in wired mode, it can make the desktop more tidy.

Heijue AK992 three-mode mechanical keyboard can be connected to computers, tablets, mobile phones and other devices through wired, Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4G wireless; in wired mode, plug and play, no need to install drivers separately, the connection mode is through the dial on the left side of the keyboard It can be switched by a dynamic switch, and the current connection mode can be judged according to the indicator light on the keyboard.

The matching 2.4G wireless receiver can be stored in the fixed slot on the right side of the keyboard when not in use, which does not affect the appearance and avoids loss.

This keyboard also has a separate circular volume adjustment knob, with moderate rotation damping and excellent rotation feel. When a call comes in, it can be quickly muted to avoid confusion.

For the keyboard, the comfort of typing is particularly important. It feels more comfortable and natural to place the hands on the keyboard keys. I personally tested that the continuous input of a thousand characters will not cause numbness in the fingers. There is basically no need for keyboard adaptation. In order to obtain better It is recommended to add a wrist rest separately for experience. Coupled with the tea switch, the pressing force of the buttons is moderate, and the feedback is relatively sensitive. It is not easy to get tired after tapping the fingers for a long time.

Heijue AK992 also has built-in 18 groups of RGB backlight effects, each effect is very cool, and the brightness and speed of the light can be adjusted in 5 levels, and the direction of the dynamic light can also be switched at will. In addition, users can customize 3 A set of game lighting effects, just this backlight can make people play for a while. However, the backlight of the characters on the keycaps cannot be penetrated, and it always looks like something is missing. Of course, there are some friends who like this kind of slit light-emitting method, and it varies from person to person.

Because it supports wireless/Bluetooth connection, the Black Jue AK992 keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh capacity lithium battery, which can stand by for about 10 days in the wireless state. The power can be checked on the computer in the Bluetooth mode. In the 2.4G wireless mode, there will be a backlight when the battery is about to run out. The light flashes to remind you.

Through this period of experience, I think that the Heijue AK992 wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard not only looks good, but also expands its use environment with rich connection methods. The cool RGB backlight effect is more in line with the needs of young people. Comfortable gasket structure and built-in three-layer cotton design, even if you work overtime late at night, you don't have to worry about disturbing your family. The freely replaceable hot-swappable shaft seat design and editable button functions also bring more fun to users who like DIY, and it is considered a cost-effective choice among keyboards at the same price.

By the way, according to the official notice, this wireless three-mode keyboard will launch a matte version of 199 and a single light version of 249 in the near future. Attached are two pictures of the matte version for everyone to take a look...
