The value that the little monkey takes you to buy Chapter 89: Happiness can be very simple, all you need is a happy vending machine: Aluminum factory OG80 mechanical keyboard

Hello everyone, I am Monkey. What is the happiness of an adult, is it a nap after a busy day, a weekend get-together with friends, or a sense of satisfaction after shopping? Most of the happiness born in the 1980s began when they were young when they played Nintendo’s red and white 8-bit game consoles during the winter and summer vacations. They mastered the wiring of the red and white machines, the insertion and removal of cassettes, and the combination of various cheats in the game. Have their own exclusive memories.

The classic red and white color scheme also remains in my heart, becoming the key to evoke childhood memories. Especially in the office, if you use such a color-matched keyboard to work, you can feel more comfortable and happy when working.

As a strong player in mechanical keyboards, the aluminum factory has recently launched a new red and white mechanical keyboard OG80. With its fairly good hardware quality and youthful color appearance, it has given the post-80s and young people a new choice.

Although I like to use a low-key and unobtrusive aluminum factory black samurai for office work, but when I am at home on weekends, I actually prefer to use a keyboard with lighter colors to code. Therefore, I recently bought the OG80 red and white happy vending machine keyboard newly launched by the aluminum factory.

First of all, in terms of accessories, the aluminum factory has continued its own tradition, providing a variety of spare keycaps and maintenance accessories, especially a lot of extra keycaps. Regular keyboard maintenance and replacement accessories such as charging cables, cleaning brushes, large and small keycaps are also in line with the configuration of the flagship model.

As a fully personalized keyboard, the OG80 Happy Vending Machine supports full-key hot-swapping, which can provide a lot of room for personalized DIY in the later stage.

In appearance, the OG80 happy vending machine of this aluminum factory uses a translucent red shell, and the white PBT keycap has a bold red engraving on it, while the red PBT keycap has a white engraving. People can immediately start nostalgic color matching at a glance.

In addition to the change in color matching, this keyboard is the same as the OG80 wormhole in terms of keyboard arrangement. The keyboard still uses 75% of the arrangement, and only the configuration of the main keypad and arrow keys is retained after simplification. In addition, the commonly used editing keys are reserved for some users, and it is compatible with users of different operating systems.

The OG80 series adopts a two-stage design, the main key area is completely flat and the functional F area is designed with an obvious inclination. When the F-zone function is required, it can bring a better typing experience to the fingers with a shorter control distance. And the upper cover of the OG80 happy vending machine is a one-piece design, and it feels very good in actual use.

The upper cover and lower cover of the main part of the keyboard are made of matte translucent red plastic, which has good transparency. My RGB model can show dazzling brilliance at night, and it is very suitable for use with a complete set of RGB peripherals. Partially realize the function of the transparent keycap.

In addition, in terms of details, this keyboard also has a lot of thoughtful design, such as the metal nameplate of the aluminum factory in the upper right corner of the keyboard, and the retro RGB indicator light on the left side of the F area, which makes people feel back to the last century.

In terms of keycap color matching and printing style, it is worth mentioning that this keyboard is paired with this set of keyboards with girly bold lettering keycaps. The keycaps are made of PBT material and thermal sublimation engraving, so the complex engraving It is not a problem to realize the pattern at all, and many joint-style keyboards can be realized in the later stage.

The main keypad adopts a bold handwriting style in order to improve the recognition. Even if the light is not too bright, the letters can be seen clearly at a glance. The font style of the function key area is somewhat cartoony, using the same pattern combination as hand-drawn notes, which is more relaxed and playful to use. The ESC key adopts the smiley face symbol even more freely, so don't be easily laughed at by him.

Users who use mechanical keyboards are naturally concerned about the choice of switches, and the configuration of this OG80 happy vending machine is equally powerful. In terms of shaft body selection, aluminum factories still have many shaft heads to choose from, such as TTC shafts and other mainstream shaft bodies. Of course, I prefer to use the current TTC mainstream gold powder switch or fast silver switch, which is lighter and more comfortable to type on. Recently, I often choose the fast silver switch keyboard for games, and the gold powder switch for daily typing. The difference between the two is that the gold powder feels extremely silky, while the quicksilver is more powerful and has a clearer feel. Both are very good shafts.

In terms of use, the aluminum factory adopts a balance bar design in the design of the large key. Don’t underestimate the simple balance bar design. The actual tuning of each company has completely different feelings. If you do not pay attention to lubrication and counterweight, the large key The use will feel a clear sense of tilt. The big key of this aluminum factory is very comfortable after being tuned by the aluminum factory.

Shift and space bar, the big keys that are often pressed empty or side-pressed in daily operations, are also very smooth and stable in operation. Even if one side is pressed, there is no loose vibration or shaking in the operation of the keycap, and the stability of the balance bar is adjusted very well.

You can see the balance bar and shaft

Those who often use mechanical keyboards know that the keycap connection of this balance bar design usually needs grease, so the large key of this OG80 also adds a lot of grease here, and you can see the two sides when you open the keycap. There is a lot of factory filled grease at this connection.

However, the lubricating grease added at the factory still needs a period of running-in to fully lubricate the lubricating grease during use. Otherwise, when you first start using it, you will inevitably feel a little dryness at the connection between the keycap and the balance bar, and the friction will bring a rustling sound. It takes about 1 day to completely disappear.

In terms of keyboard sound control, this keyboard is relatively high-profile, and the percussion sound of the keycaps is at the upper-middle level, especially the cavity sound is obvious. The crisp percussion sound can make you enjoy the happiness of being alone in the middle of the night. Not a single noise. However, I do not recommend that you use it for office use, otherwise it will be certain to be complained by colleagues.

In terms of battery life, this OG80 happy vending machine supports the current mainstream 3-mode connection mode, whether it is Bluetooth, wireless or data cable, it can be quickly paired and connected. The built-in 4000mAh large-capacity battery can ensure the battery life is reassuring. The wireless connection protocol adopts 2.4G protocol, which can ensure good anti-interference. For multi-screen users, the Bluetooth connection protocol of this keyboard supports up to 3 connections and can switch seamlessly.

Cool RGB effects

For the configuration of the lighting part, this OG80 happy vending machine provides RGB backlit version and non-backlit version. If I prefer the low-key F97 series for office work, then this happy vending machine OG80 series with such a bright color scheme, I recommend you to start with the RGB backlit version. Not only because to show individuality, OG80's translucent shell and RGB combination is definitely the most dazzling combination at night.

In general, this aluminum factory OG80 happy vending machine is a completely low-key keyboard that breaks away from the metal feeling of traditional aluminum factories. Not only does it not use an all-metal casing, but it also does not have rigid color matching and engraved fonts. With the eye-catching color matching and excellent hardware quality, whether it is for daily use or simply for collection and display of color matching, it has a good value. The happiness of adults is often as simple as that. At first sight, you fall in love with it at the second sight. Besides, it is a good-looking and capable player. In the scorching summer, let a touch of bright color break your boring life.
