With the improvement of players' demand for personalized peripherals, more and more manufacturers have launched keyboard products with different styles and unique shapes and arrangements. The emergence of competing products also gives users more choices. Recently, Dareu, a top domestic peripheral brand, has launched a brand-new "Small Sugar Cube" keyboard series, which adopts a fresh and elegant appearance design, and with wireless connection, this keyboard is very suitable for the office crowd with good looks. Today, I will bring you an unboxing of this product from the perspective of users, hoping to give some comparison references to friends who are interested in buying this type of product.

Dareu small sugar cubes are subdivided into several types according to the switch body (sky switch V2, Kaihua light sound switch), keycaps and shell color themes (vitality powder, canvas white). The sky switch relies on good feedback and word-of-mouth They are relatively popular, but this time I chose the Kaihua light sound axis, which is very suitable for office scenes. A certain price is 469, which is a mid-range price among competing mechanical keyboards.

The accessories include a white Type-C cable and three additional keycaps.

The layout of 82 keys and 75 keys of Dareu Small Cube is also the most popular arrangement at present. Compared with the more compact and mini 65 arrangement, Dareu Mini Cube not only retains the F area, but also the keys of the direction area and some editing areas. reserve. It is also relatively friendly to some users who are using unconventional arrangements for the first time, and there is little difference in acceptance.

Dareu small cube sugar canvas white keycaps have a yellowish white base and the color matching of the shell is very consistent, very harmonious and attractive, and some function keys are supplemented with light brown embellishments, with the same color letters and multi-function knobs echoing the color, the overall is relatively harmonious and attractive of.

Part of the functions are reserved and implemented through the combination of Fn+keys, and the multi-layer layout realizes more functions, but also requires a certain amount of learning and adaptation costs. For example, switching between three groups of Bluetooth devices is realized through Fn+1/2/3.

The multi-function knob in the upper right corner adopts a very unique cat’s claw shape, which is very recognizable. The damping of the roller is light and the feedback is moderate. It is very suitable for volume adjustment, which is convenient for users to precisely control the volume adjustment. Press the center of the knob to achieve a key mute function. The experience of quickly adjusting the volume according to different usage scenarios (video, games, office) is very good, and the look and feel of the same color as the keyboard is also good.

The top connection indicates the sticker connection port and the mode toggle switch.

Wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4G button switches also adopt a toggle type with a strong sense of confirmation

The back is relatively simple as a whole, and there are anti-slip foot stickers at the four corners. While the visual consistency is better, the movement is also very stable.

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.

In terms of the axis body, Dareu Small Cube provides two versions of sky axis V2 and Kaihua light tone axis. The sky axis V2 is Dareu’s well-received linear axis body, and I chose the light tone axis this time because it is for office use. axis. In terms of parameters, the trigger pressure is 40g, the trigger stroke is 1.9mm, and the total stroke is 3.7mm. Compared with the common linear shafts in the market, it has an earlier trigger feedback. Thick and widened design, there is no stuffy feeling when you actually hit the bottom. The upper cover made of PC transparent material is combined with the POM shaft, the lower nylon cover and the long spring. The trigger pressure of about 40g is also a very popular pressure range for the shaft body, and the friction, spring sound and shaking feeling of the trigger are pressed. The friction and spring sound and the shaking feeling triggered by pressing are still very good, but the light sound axis due to the quiet design is still slightly boring compared to the sky axis pressing feedback.

Dareu’s new satellite switch also has a very good feel of the large keys. The purple gold color matching also echoes its own purple gold switch. It is tighter with the hand, and the stability and smoothness have been greatly improved.

Dareu small cube sugar adopts a ball cap design, and the concave shape is more conducive to finger contact, and it is more round and beautiful visually. The PBT keycaps supported by the two-color injection molding process have quite good tactile performance and durability, and the closed characters are also relatively elegant. When tapping, the finger pads naturally fall on the concave surface of the keycaps, which has a good experience. The overall workmanship of the keycap is excellent, and the nozzles and other places are also well handled.

In terms of connection, Daryou Small Cube Sugar Wireless Three-mode Mechanical Keyboard supports Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless connection. 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, and it can be matched with three devices at the same time. The delay is cut in seconds. There is also little to check, which is great for multi-device users.

In terms of battery life, the 2000mAh lithium battery officially gives the battery life data of 15 days with the lights off. It is estimated that it will take about two to three weeks in Bluetooth mode/2.4G mode, but fortunately, the keyboard itself is aimed at the office scene. -C port connection can be charged at any time, theoretically there is little constraint on battery life.

As a good-looking product that caters to consumers who pursue individuality, Daryou Small Cube Candy Wireless Three-mode Mechanical Keyboard has a stylish appearance, which not only ensures a delicate and compact appearance, but also guarantees multi-layer input enriched in fn. In addition to the practicability of the small keyboard, it is a visual good product that is more eye-catching.

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 suitable for appearance control.

In terms of desktop matching, the small matching array is still very good. The yellowed canvas white has no obvious sense of dissonance on the desktop. The 82-key non-floating design and the compact layout make the keyboard look better than the traditional male models with 104 and 87 keys. It is quite outstanding, and the layout of fewer keys does not make me feel abrupt and radical discomfort. The abandoned and reserved keys are very reasonable and just right. Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless connection expand the usage scenarios of the product. In addition, the small size but complete double-layer function design, low-latency wireless connection and 2000mAh battery can meet the needs of a refreshing desktop, and the sky axis and light sound The switch is very suitable for office people. Generally speaking, this is a new product with good appearance, feel feedback and wireless experience. Getting rid of the shackles of wires can greatly improve the desktop look and feel of work happiness. It is a good gift! !
