Unpacking Peripherals Part 32: A full set of 399! Unpacking the customized kit of A3 wireless three-mode RGB Gasket

With the improvement of players' demand for personalized peripherals, manufacturers have also launched keyboard products with different styles, rich styles, and various prices. Under the hot shipping atmosphere, there is also a tendency to roll up. Competing products have emerged one after another, and many word-of-mouth products have emerged based on the sincerity-level pricing and quality experience that are visible to the naked eye.

Today, I unpacked the A3 three-mode RGB Gasket customization kit that has been popular recently. I hope it can give some comparison reference to friends who intend to buy this kind of product.

The cheap donkey A3 is equipped with Jiadalong Jiadalong G silver and white (Pro2.0). Jiadalong’s GPro switch is also a very popular cost-effective switch body, which has been recognized by the market and players, and has many fans. This A3 only supports the purchase of kits (299 does not include shafts and keycaps), and the color matching includes Yuanzu gray (gray with milky white retro style) and the strange theme in hand.

The packaging is lacklustre, and the front is a simple rendering of product pictures, model brand logos and selling points.

The accessories are very rich, in addition to the C-port braided cable with the same color as the shell, there are also 2.4G wireless receivers, key pullers, shaft pullers, Phillips screwdrivers, hexagonal screwdrivers, and two replaceable I-shaped for structural fixation Silicone gasket (enhances the soft elasticity of the gasket leaf spring structure)

Compared with the small arrangement, the 75 arrangement still retains the F area, and the keys in the direction area and some editing areas are also preserved. It is also relatively friendly to some users who are using unconventional arrangements for the first time, and there is little difference in acceptance.

The metal knob in the upper right corner also greatly improves the product recognition, and the actual use is also very smooth and natural.

The color matching of the keycap base and shell of the Guiqi color matching theme is more suitable for the large keys and the same color echo of the root of the keycap. With the knob in the upper right corner, the overall is very harmonious and attractive.

Some functions are reserved and implemented through the combined functions of Fn+keys, Fn+1/2/3 switch Bluetooth devices, Fn+f area for multimedia shortcut operations and so on.

The three-mode switching knob switch also adopts a scrolling type with a strong sense of confirmation. The actual experience of the toggle switch is a bit loose, but the flaws are not hidden and the normal use is not hindered.

The transition of the hull connection is also very natural, and the sense of violation is not heavy.

It is still very recognizable when viewed from the side.

There are non-slip foot stickers on the four corners of the back, which has better visual consistency and is also very stable when moving.

The two-stage foot support marked with the lifting angle can also take care of the usage habits of most users, and the foot support is also designed with anti-slip pads, so there is no risk of sliding when it is propped up.

The keycap is PBT two-color injection molding, with clear characters and elegant style, moderate thickness, fine and smooth surface, and dry and delicate touch.

In terms of the shaft body, Jiadalong’s G Silver Pro2.0 is also very popular in the customization circle. The price is affordable and the quality is excellent. The trigger pressure of 45g is also a very popular pressure range for the shaft body, and the smooth bottoming feel It is also well-received by users. Compared with the conventional trigger stroke of 2mm linear axis, the 1.2mm trigger stroke still has a sense of advance. The vocals are pretty good.

Compared with the mainstream 2mm trigger stroke and 50g or so linear axis that I usually use, it has a fairly obvious speed improvement in terms of feedback. The silver axis is highly recommended for competitive game scenarios!

The upper cover made of PC transparent material is combined with the POM shaft, the lower nylon cover and the long spring. The design of the condenser lens and the light guide column makes the shaft body excellent in light transmission.

In addition, at the moment when DIY is popular, a major selling point of the product is the full-key hot-swappable design. With the included key puller and shaft puller, the keycap and shaft body can be easily replaced for personalized matching. The shaft seat is compatible with ordinary tripod shafts and pentapod shafts, as long as it is an MX-like shaft.

The LED is added with a transparent shaft cover, and the SMD LED at the bottom of the lower light position design is also relatively clear and obvious, and the keycap design has a tight gap, and the light is not dazzling.

In terms of the inner tank, the current hot gasket structure is adopted, and the bottom shell and the PC positioning plate are filled with EVA sound-absorbing cotton, pe shaft underlayment, and bottom shell sound-absorbing silicone layer. The input of these customized kit matching solutions brings That is, the common problems of percussion cavity sound and shock feeling that are common in mass-produced keyboards have been greatly eliminated. And thanks to the separation of the Gasket small board and the PCB and the help of the filler, the pressing under the leaf spring structure also has a certain soft elastic feeling, and the overall feel feedback is quite good.

Because of the design of the gasket leaf spring structure, the keyboard is slightly higher than the membrane, and it is recommended to use it with a palm rest for long-term use.

In terms of connection, the cheap donkey A3 model wireless hot-swappable mechanical keyboard supports Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless connections. Its anti-interference and stability performed well during the experience period. The Bluetooth connection typing test of the computer/mobile phone was carried out respectively. During the experience process, there was basically no sense of delay. Although the stability needs to be verified for a long time, the field office The use of input requirements can be fully satisfied. And it can match three devices at the same time, and the delay of the second cut is almost impossible to check, which is very useful for multi-device users.

In terms of battery life, the built-in 3000mAh lithium battery has a battery life of about 3 to 4 weeks according to the official report.

RGB can be customized through the driver, with up to 16.8 million lighting adjustments, and the playability is good.

The compact layout makes the keyboard more exquisite and outstanding in appearance compared with the conventional layout keyboard, and it is only a little longer than the 65 layout keyboard, and the reserved direction area and editing area make it more practical and convenient than other small layout keyboards. And because it occupies a small amount on the desktop, it is very friendly to students and cost-effective parties.

Judging from the experience of several days, this is a relatively mature cost-effective stacking product launched by the cheap donkey in a market with many competing products. The experience is very good. The theme color matching and shape have a very attractive table performance. PBT keycaps, the most popular Gasket structure scheme that is widely recognized by players, and Gpro silver switches bring quite good feedback. Compared with mass-produced competing products at similar prices, it is still very cost-effective. Of course, there are some experiences. Defects, such as the mode switching button is slightly loose, the height of the keycaps in the F area needs to be adapted, and the feel of individual large keys also has room for improvement. But in general, the flaws are not concealed, especially at the price of 299 for the pure kit, and 399 for the shaft and keycap. Combining my subjective feelings and the evaluation feedback from the hands-on group friends, it is a good value-for-money product that is worth recommending to practical users.
