The thinnest mechanical keyboard yet? Small and exquisite keychron k7pro dual-mode hot-swappable keyboard

Recently, I bought a 65% keyboard keychron k7pro recommended by a friend. The primary factor for purchasing a 65% keyboard is naturally for the convenience of going out. The 68 keys have fully met the needs of daily codewords, and the volume has been greatly reduced compared to the 10% arrangement, which is most suitable for going out. The keychron k7pro keyboard fully meets all my requirements for an out-going keyboard, and even far exceeds expectations.

I believe that many people, like me, learned about the keychron brand for the first time, and then I randomly searched for this keyword on the Internet. What I didn't expect was that Keychron turned out to be an online celebrity brand of mechanical keyboards, which became popular because it was used by countless digital bloggers on YouTube abroad. The K series keyboards made by Beijing Tokyo are manufactured by Keychron, and the price will be much cheaper than foreign countries. In the past two years, Keychron's return has begun to develop in China. The biggest selling point of Keychron is that it is compatible with both win and mac. It has the same functions as the traditional Mac system macOS media keys in the Mac layout, and is perfectly suitable for various operating systems such as macOS, Windows, iOS and Android.

When I got the courier, I was surprised that the courier was so small that I couldn't even associate it with a keyboard. Put it on the table and compare it with other devices, and you will find that the packaging is so small.

After unpacking, the internal structure is relatively simple, but the protection that should be provided is not reduced because of the small size. There are sponge protection on the upper and lower sides and around the keyboard, and the protection of the entire interior is still in place.

The main accessories include a slightly thicker manual, a type-c cable with a magnetic ring, a keycap puller, a shaft puller, and 5 replacement keycaps.

The color matching of the keyboard adopts the three-color combination of gray, black and red, and keychron officially sells only this color, which meets the aesthetic requirements of foreign countries. After all, the keychron brand is still mainly focused on foreign markets.

The top shell of the main body of the keyboard is made of anodized aluminum frame, pure aluminum, round and smooth lines, absolutely impeccable in terms of texture.

Compared with a 68-key keyboard I used to DIY, although the size is the same from the front, it can be clearly seen from the side that the difference in thickness is huge.

The maximum height of k7pro is 2.4cm, and the minimum height is 2cm. You can clearly see the result of comparison with an SD card in the picture.

On the top side of the keyboard are, in order, the Type-C wired connection port, the Bluetooth/wired switch, and the Win/Android and Mac/iOS system switch.

Although the keyboard has reached the level of super blog, it still provides a two-stage foot support with three heights of 6-9°, which better adapts to the needs of different heights.

The keycap adopts LSA height, extended fingertip mechanics, and PBT two-color two-color injection molding process. The PBT content is greater than 40%, which is not easy to oil, more wear-resistant, dirt-resistant, and not easy to fade.

The ability to achieve such a super-bright keyboard is due to the use of Jiadalong short switch 2.0, but it is a pity that since this short switch 2.0 has just been released, there are currently only red switches, brown switches and green switches to choose from. , but I believe that in the near future, we can have more shafts of the same series to choose from.

Compared with the old model, the short axis 2.0 of Jiadalong has made many improvements. The limit column is shortened by 0.3cm, and the inner axis column of the positioning column is extended by 0.3cm, which solves the situation that the existing short axis bottoms out prematurely. On the one hand, it has been greatly improved and is closer to the feel of ordinary shafts. Compared with ordinary shafts, the height has been greatly reduced. The current price is 20 yuan for 10 pieces.

The k7pro has a white light version and an RGB version. This is the RGB version. The official default provides 22 lighting effect modes, which can be switched directly through the shortcut keys on the keyboard. Compared with the keyboard lighting system we come into contact with every day, keychron k7pro adopts a lower lighting design, which can better display the lighting effect of the keyboard.

One of the reasons why keychron is very popular abroad is that it supports QMK/VIA open source modification, and you can easily program each function combination key on the keyboard. At the same time, keychron independently developed an easy-to-learn QMK/VIA open-source modification solution, touching the constraints of the keyboard layout, and defining a mechanical keyboard that only belongs to you.

As a dual-mode hot-swappable RGB keyboard, keychron k7pro supports 3 sets of Bluetooth storage connections, and is compatible with win and mac at the same time. It has the same function as the traditional Mac system in the Mac layout. The macOS media key is perfectly suitable for macOS, Windows, Various operating systems such as iOS and Android.

It is also just right to use with a tablet such as an iPad, and you can start working anytime, anywhere. Of course, with ultra-blog notebooks such as MacBook Air, you don’t need to worry about carrying it, and the efficiency of going out to work is even better.

Keychron k7pro, as a 65-array keyboard, supports two modes of wired and bluetooth, supports 3 sets of bluetooth storage connections, fast switching of shortcut keys, and separated mode of wired keys and lines. The shell is made of anodized aluminum frame, the shape is round and smooth, small and exquisite. With the Jiadalong short switch 2.0 system, not only the thickness of the keyboard has been greatly improved, but also the feel is closer to the ordinary switch body. Compatible with win and mac at the same time and can have the same function macOS media keys as the traditional Mac system in the Mac layout, perfect for macOS, Windows, iOS and Android and other operating systems. Combined with QMK/VIA open source modification scheme, use your imagination to create your own personalized mechanical keyboard as you like.
