Hello everyone, I am Gundam. 618 is coming soon, and the opportunity to buy hands has come again. You guys are also recommending all kinds of good things, which makes my hands itchy. Today I also bring the same interesting computer peripherals, which are also familiar products. This interesting computer peripheral is the protagonist of this article --- Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost 3 Players 3 Variable Speed Optical Axis Mechanical Keyboard T98 (later called: T98).
Nani? I see a lot of mechanical keyboards, isn’t it all like that, why is it interesting? Then if I say that T98 is a gaming mechanical keyboard that can change the key response speed and adopts an innovative optical axis, are you starting to be interested?
At the beginning of the article, let’s briefly popularize the mechanical keyboard. As a product that has been popular for several years, mechanical keyboards have become the first choice of many users. So what is a mechanical keyboard? To put it simply, according to the structure of the keyboard, the keyboard can be divided into membrane keyboard, capacitive keyboard and mechanical keyboard which is very popular nowadays.
Briefly go through membrane keyboard and capacitive keyboard. This is the keyboard structure that everyone comes into contact with more. Membrane keyboards use a membrane panel as the core and feel soft; capacitive keyboards use capacitive switches as the core and feel similar to membrane keyboards. At present, many notebooks or conventional keyboards mostly use membrane keyboards.
Membrane keyboards and capacitive keyboards are products that everyone often comes into contact with. Next, we will focus on mechanical keyboards. The reason why it is called a mechanical keyboard is because each key of this type of keyboard has an independent mechanical structure switch for closing control. This independent mechanical structure is generally called a "shaft".
The switches of mechanical keyboards are further subdivided. From the point of view of feel, paragraph feeling, and rebound, there are currently four classic switch bodies--brown switch, red switch, black switch and green switch.
Tea, red, black, and blue are the most representative four types of mechanical keyboard switches, each with its own characteristics. simply put:
tea shaft: It is also called "universal shaft", because the tea shaft has no obvious characteristics and belongs to a well-regulated shaft. However, the tea switch has a strong sense of comfort, which is similar to the red switch, but has a sense of paragraph than the red switch.
Red axis: The red switch has the least pressing pressure of all the switches. The feel is close to that of a membrane keyboard. The advantage is that it does not require too much tapping force, it is dense and silky, and the relative noise is relatively small. It is suitable for girls or friends who spend a long time coding in the office.
Black axis: The obvious advantage is that the rebound is fast, the triggering efficiency is high, and the noise is relatively small. The so-called "oil pressure sense" refers to the black shaft. Black switches are the first choice for many gamers. But the disadvantage is that it requires a certain amount of tapping force, and the hands are tired after long-term use, so it is not very suitable for codewords.
Green axis: In my opinion, the green axis belongs to the heterogeneous category among the four types of axes. It is mainly reflected in the loud noise and strong paragraph feeling. Therefore, it is very suitable for users who like codewords and enjoy the crisp sound of mechanical keyboards. But this advantage is also its disadvantage. If you use the green axis code in the office, you may receive complaints every minute because the noise is too loud. But friends who like it will like it very much, such as me. It's the same as the exhaust sound of a sports car.
Of course, in addition to the above four classic switches, there are also powder switches, white switches, etc., which will not be specifically introduced here. All kinds of shafts have their own advantages and disadvantages. When purchasing, some suggestions are as follows:
Game Party: Black axis, green axis. The black axis gives you the thrill of efficient triggering, and the green axis gives you an endless sense of rhythm
Code word party: Green axis, red axis. The former is comfortable for the ears (possibly, 233333), the latter for the fingers
Experience party: Red axis, green axis, tea axis (the younger sister prefers the red axis, and the younger brother can try the green axis. If you don’t know how to choose, let’s use the universal axis)
Back to the topic of this article, gaming keyboards. Judging from the keyboard knowledge above, mechanical keyboards are definitely the first choice when purchasing keyboards for the purpose of e-sports. After all, when playing games, the feel is the first. The feel here actually refers to the efficiency and texture of the button from triggering to response. So it is no wonder that the black axis will become the first choice.
But here comes the problem again, not all games have a need for feel, so it is difficult for the black switch to meet all game needs. So is there a solution that has both the fish and the bear's paw? It may not have been there before, but now it is!
The new choice mentioned above that can handle both fish and bear's paws is the recently purchased Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost 3 Player 3 Variable Speed Optical Axis Mechanical Keyboard. When it comes to the brand of Shuangfeiyan, it is a little revealing of age. Many people also know the brand of Shuangfeiyan from the mouse. Gundam first came into contact with Shuangfeiyan, probably dating back more than 20 years ago. At that time, the mouse was still a mechanical mouse with a "ball" at the bottom.
Shuangfeiyan, which can develop to this day, was born in 1987, which can be said to be an old national brand. So when I saw that his family launched a mechanical keyboard, under the catalysis of feelings, after clicking on the page to understand, good guy, the problem of fish and bear's paw was actually solved by his innovative LT optical axis. Just one button, you can switch between three tactile sensations, satisfying three hand speeds! Proper one-click "3x speed"!
Let's take a look at the appearance of T98. Everyone knows that I like Gundam, but the real man must be Kai Zaku! And the color matching of this T98 is surprisingly consistent with the color matching of Zaku! So I really like it.
In terms of the number of keys, 87 keys, 98 keys, 104 keys, 108 keys, etc. are common at present. Of course, there are also some special layouts, which are not expanded here. T98 uses a 98-key layout, which belongs to the category of taking into account the functionality of 104 and 108-key layouts and the small size of 87 keys. Compared with keyboards with 104 and 108 layouts, T98 is relatively small in size; for keyboards with 87-key layout, T98 has independent number keys, which are more convenient to use in some cases.
In terms of details, the keys of the T98 adopt a two-color injection molding process, which has a matte feel and is relatively thick.
The T98 adopts 2-angle leg height adjustment, 3° and 8° respectively, which is suitable for the needs of different users.
The idea of adjusting the angle is very simple. Just use two heights of legs, which is simple, rough and effective. But don't underestimate this small function, many keyboards have not considered this problem.
The connection line of T98 adopts Type-C interface, and a wire groove is added at the bottom, which supports three-way fixed connection line. Still the same sentence, there is no problem, but having it is the icing on the cake~
This time, Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost 3 player 3 variable speed optical axis mechanical keyboard T98, in addition to the keyboard, cable and key puller, also comes with 25 additional PBT game-specific keycaps. The reason for the bonus is very simple. These 25 keys are the positions of high-frequency tapping when playing games, and they wear out relatively quickly, which can be regarded as a relatively considerate configuration.
It is very handsome to replace the buttons. I personally have no resistance to camouflage
After opening the box and looking at the appearance, I believe everyone can't wait to know what "3 players 3 speeds" is. In fact, to put it simply, the T98 mechanical keyboard realizes 3 types of key strokes through a unique optical axis (simulation), bringing 3 types of trigger feedback. All this can be realized by pressing the LT key on the keyboard. The LT key is painted in red, matching the color of the keyboard, it is simply "a little red among thousands of flowers", very conspicuous.
After pressing the LT key, you can cycle through the 3 key strokes, and the keyboard will be displayed with blue, yellow, and red keyboard lights.
One might ask, how can the travel of the keys be changed? Is there a locking mechanism inside? The idea is fine, but adding a locking mechanism would become overly complicated for a keyboard. Shuangfeiyan’s bloody hand ghost has a unique approach: use the unique Light Turbo Switch optical axis to feel the changes in the amount of light generated by the buttons, thereby realizing three-speed stroke control. The idea is very ingenious.
The three itineraries are:
Blu-ray: Gear 1 is the standard gear, with a trigger stroke of 2.0mm, suitable for ordinary players
yellow light: The second gear is the acceleration gear, and the trigger stroke is 1.5mm, which is suitable for e-sports players. Compared with the first gear, the speed is increased by 50%
Red light: The 3rd gear is the extreme gear, the trigger stroke is 1.0mm, suitable for super gaming players, compared with the 1st gear, the speed is increased by 100%
By changing the length of the trigger stroke, the time of the trigger feedback is changed, thereby changing the hand speed. In order to let everyone intuitively feel that the trigger stroke of the button can indeed be changed through the LT button, a vernier caliper is used for a concrete demonstration here.
The method is very simple, fix the bottom of the vernier caliper, move the vernier down to touch the space bar, stop moving the vernier caliper when the cursor starts to move in the document, and read the data. The data I measured myself are as follows:
1st gear (Blu-ray): The vernier caliper shows a data of 30.48
2nd gear (yellow light): the vernier caliper shows 30.67
3rd gear (red light): the vernier caliper displays the data as 31.8
The data here is not the actual key stroke, but just to intuitively feel that the LT key does change the trigger stroke. Specific to the results, it can be seen that as the gear increases, the data of the vernier caliper becomes larger, which means that the downward movement of the vernier becomes smaller. Of course, the manual measurement of this data is not accurate, but it should be more intuitive to reflect and prove the function. Different gears will bring different hand speed experiences to players, and can also meet the needs of different games.
In addition, the LT optical axis of the T98 can also be reset at 0 o'clock. Generally speaking, the trigger and reset are almost completed at the same point. This feature will bring players a very sensitive combo effect, and this combo effect hardly requires CD time. In the same period of time, using LT optical switches can theoretically achieve more combos than traditional mechanical switches. And the whole operation process feels very linear, straight up and down, smooth and light.
In addition, because the principle of optical axis is used, the sway of the key position is smaller. The official parameter is that the deflection angle of the four sides is 0.5° when pressed, which will bring a more stable operation feel.
For example, I prefer to play Call of Duty (mobile game version). This type of gun game requires relatively high opponent speed, and I belong to the type of holding the trigger, so the operation of changing the magazine requires very fast. If you have friends who play this kind of game, you should know that ASWD controls the front, rear, left, and right. The R key is generally used to change the magazine. The R key is a little away from the AWSD. How to quickly trigger the R key is the key to whether you can quickly change the magazine. For example, in the picture below, can you see that I press the R key?
Therefore, through the innovative LT optical axis of Shuangfeiyan bloody hand ghost 3 player 3 variable speed optical axis mechanical keyboard T98, different hand speeds can be switched, and even temporary adjustments can be made in the game, which is equivalent to adding a legal " Physical plug-in".
Seeing this, I believe some friends have doubts. Compared with traditional mechanical switches, what is the lifespan of the optical axis of T98? Regarding this point, the manufacturer's statement is 100 million times, which I really can't actually measure, 233333. However, we can see some clues from the material of the shaft --- the shaft of the T98 optical shaft is made of the material of the gear inside the watch, which is oily and wear-resistant, which can greatly reduce the wear of the shaft and improve the service life. Imagine a mechanical watch, the probability of it being worn out is really extremely low. Therefore, from the perspective of materials, the reason for changing the keyboard is most likely not that the shaft is broken.
I believe that after reading the above explanation, you should also understand how the 3-speed shifting is cleverly realized. To be honest, when I have a deep understanding of the Light Turbo Switch optical axis of the Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost 3 player 3-speed optical axis mechanical keyboard T98, I can’t help Don't lament the engineer's brain hole. In addition to the controllable speed change, the material of the shaft can also make me feel more at ease and continue to tap. As an optical axis mechanical keyboard, I personally feel that the T98 is also very suitable for desktop display.
When I first heard that a keyboard has three types of key strokes, I had two thoughts in my mind: this keyboard is very complicated, and this keyboard is expensive. And when I got to know the product, as mentioned above, the way to change the key travel is so thoughtful. When I saw the price, objectively speaking, the price of 599 yuan has been regarded as the mid-range price of the current mechanical keyboard, and the T98 supports 3-speed shifting, giving players 3 kinds of sensitivity, quite a feeling of owning three keyboards at the same time. Look, the price of 599 yuan is also very cost-effective.
Judging from the actual experience, the sensitivity of the T98 keys is really good, and it can indeed "take the lead" to a certain extent when playing games. And the T98 adopts a silent design, which makes the noise of the T98 knocked much smaller than expected, even much smaller than the sound of the red axis. For details, you can refer to the video below.
Therefore, for gamers who are worried about their wives and children being noisy, Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost 3 Player 3 Variable Speed Optical Axis Mechanical Keyboard solves this pain point very well, and you don’t have to worry about noise disturbing people when you are playing happily.
Overall, as an optical axis mechanical keyboard product positioned for e-sports, the use experience these days is really worthy of the price, the use experience is very novel, and I can't help but want to press the LT button. In the game, the flexible adjustment of the key sensitivity is also unmatched by other keyboards for the time being~
Of course, there is a little complaint at the end, I hope the manufacturer can see it and make upgrades and adjustments in the following products:
1. The free PBT keycaps are not faulty, and the material and feel are good. But it cannot transmit light, and it feels weird when using it at night. I hope that the later products can be improved to light-transmitting buttons;
2. There are not many options for keyboard lights, only blue, yellow and red. See if you add breathing light, color spectrum and other light display modes to make RGB move.
The above is the whole content of this unboxing. If you have any questions, please leave me a message in the comment area.
