As the saying goes: If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Office workers spend most of their time working with computers. In order to make their daily work more comfortable, in addition to buying a good computer chair, they also need to work hard on the keyboard and mouse that have the most intimate contact. Over the years, the author’s keyboard has been changed. Quite a few. Recently, the keyboard on hand broke after being used, so I had to buy another one.

Since you want to change it, of course you have to choose the one that better suits your needs. In addition to the fact that the shaft must be relatively quiet when knocked, it must also have a three-mode connection and super battery life. After comparing several models and consulting friends around you, I finally chose it. This new mechanical keyboard under the Heijue brand - Heijue AK966, whether it is the appearance design, the switch body, or the functional design of all aspects, is very in line with my needs, and I won it directly during the 618 period. As for the actual experience?

Let me share my using experience, and also let friends who want to start this mechanical keyboard, can use this article as a reference.

After unpacking the express package, I felt that I bought it right this time when I saw the package of the heaven and earth cover gift box. It looks textured and thick, and there is a transparent hollow design in the middle. Jazz really puts a lot of effort into this model.

The accessories part is also very rich. In addition to the main body of the Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard, it also comes with a dust cover, data cable, manual, shaft puller and keycap puller, four Mac supplementary keycaps, replacement metal knobs, and Kaihua’s new shaft body. Axle tester, and three vintage instructions/warranty card/letter to customer.

In terms of appearance design, the Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard does not adopt a 104-key layout like the mechanical keyboards on the market, but adopts a 98-key arrangement scheme, with a size of 387.5*136.8*41.5mm and a weight of 1027g, which retains the commonly used keyboard functions. , this design is really pleasing, not only practical but also saves a lot of desktop space, about 20% smaller than ordinary full-key keyboards, the overall layout is compact, but there is no accidental touch in actual use.

In terms of color, the Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard offers 3 options, namely the powder blue Mengxia, the green and white Senyu, and my choice of Starry Night. Each color has its own characteristics, and I personally like this gray +The yellow splicing feels quite individual.

As for the structure, this model uses the currently popular customized gasket structure design. Gaskets are set on the upper and lower covers to support the positioning plate, which makes the hand feel softer and elastic; it is equipped with a PC positioning plate and a full PORON three-piece set (sandwich Cotton + bottom cotton + shaft pad), factory-run satellite shafts, etc., so that the entire keyboard has both excellent performance in terms of feel and typing sound.

How about the actual feel? The author will mention feelings in the article.

In addition to the personalized appearance design, AK966 has also done enough homework in terms of vision, supporting 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects, which can be switched according to personal preferences. Of course, the lighting color of a single button can also be customized through the product-specific driver. You can also set the rhythm function that changes with the rhythm of the music, etc., to meet the individual needs of different players.

If I want to talk about the most favorite function of the AK966 keyboard, it supports three connection modes: wired, wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth 5.0. Daily switching is also very simple. Just flip the toggle switch on the left side of the keyboard, and the top is wireless 2.4G, the middle is shutdown and wired mode, and the bottom is Bluetooth 5.0, which can be switched according to the desired connection mode.

There is also a small detail design that I also like very much. It is the metal knob on the upper right. Rotating it left and right can directly control the volume of the connected device. Press the knob to pause or play directly, and you will no longer need to adjust it through a combination of buttons. , With such careful consideration, I really bought the right keyboard.

When I first got it, I was still worried about where the 2.4G receiver of the keyboard would be placed. It is so small that it is easy to lose it if it is not in use. Fortunately, they also thought of this and designed the storage slot directly under the knob. It is on the right side of the keyboard, which is not only very convenient to take, but also avoids the trouble of accidentally losing it.

As for the keycaps, the ball caps with MDA height are used. While the surface has a matte touch, the contact surface with the fingertips is also relatively large. Processed, even if it is used for a long time, there is no need to worry about oiling or fading.

After reading the keycaps, let’s take a look at the shaft body. The AK966 keyboard uses Kaihua’s MX Cream ice cream shaft, which is made of POM and has self-lubricating properties. The market price of the body is almost 4 yuan each.

In addition, AK966 also supports full-key hot-swapping. Use the attached shaft puller to pull out the shaft body, and then you can replace the shaft body anytime and anywhere according to your needs and preferences. If you want to experience any of the types on the market later If you want to change the feel of the switch or multiple switches, you don’t need to replace the keyboard, you only need to change the switch corresponding to the entry point to this keyboard.

I mentioned the accessories that come with it, and I mentioned the new Kaihua shaft tester that was given as a gift. Come on, now you can feel the fun of changing the shaft!

Just use the built-in shaft puller to install and remove at will, and it is compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts. Not to mention, this is the first time I have tried this kind of experience of DIY shaft replacement, which is very cool.

On the back, it is also very simple, with two-stage feet on the left and right, and a Type-C interface in the middle, which can be easily connected to the wired mode. For the storage of the line, people have to sigh its meticulousness, using a three-way port Outlet design, you can choose the location according to the direction of the outlet, making the desktop more tidy and clean even in wired connection mode.

In terms of battery life, the Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard is also really powerful. It has a built-in battery capacity of 10,000mAh. In a fully charged state, it can last up to 1200 hours with the light off and 50 hours with the light on. You don't have to worry about running out of power when you go out and use it for many days.

The battery capacity alone is already far beyond the configuration of other similar keyboards, so I like it.

Let’s talk about the appearance details and functions of the Heijue AK966 keyboard first, and then let’s talk about the experience of using it.

The first is the popular 98-like layout, which retains the commonly used buttons, including the number buttons. I personally like this layout; the second is the consideration of small details, such as: 2.4G receiver storage compartment, volume knob, outlet design, etc. , you can see their intentions; the last thing is to use the feel. After using it for the past few days, I have left a very good feeling. The MX ice cream shaft feels very comfortable and smooth, and the sound is not too loud. , You don’t have to worry about disturbing your family when you work at night.
