With a full-size RGB hot-swappable design and factory-run satellite shafts, the Rapoo V700DIY can be called the king of rolls

Now it’s really the era when everything is rolling. Take the mechanical keyboard as an example. In the past, an easy-to-use mechanical keyboard would have to start at 500. If the appearance design is cool enough, it also has RGB lighting effects. , and supports hot-swapping of the shaft body, then the price of thousands of dollars is also possible. However, recently there is a new product with a price of less than 300 yuan that has brought surprises to many keyboard players. It can be said that most players have all the features they want, and it can be called the king of mechanical keyboards. The following is for everyone. Let me introduce in detail the hands-on experience of the Pennefather V700DIY, which intends to popularize customization.

Rapoo V700DIY adopts the key and wire separation design. In terms of accessories, in addition to a 1.5-meter-long data cable, there is also a tool that integrates the functions of pulling keys and shafts. In addition, the data cable also comes with a cable management belt. , it can be said that the accessories are relatively complete, but it would be even better if an additional keyboard dustproof cover can be added.

The appearance design of Rapoo V700DIY is both simple and unique. It adopts a 104-key full-size design, and a dorsal fin-shaped design area is added above the right area of ​​the keyboard. Four special keys and a scroll wheel are designed to adjust the volume. And keyboard lighting for easy and convenient control.

Although there is more area than the ordinary keyboard, the desktop space occupied by the Pennefather V700DIY is not too large. You can see that the borders around this keyboard are very narrow. Although the overall shape is unique, it is not exaggerated. The upper cover of the keyboard is made of aluminum alloy, which further enhances the overall texture and sense of class. Therefore, Rapoo V700DIY can be used not only as a gaming keyboard, but also for business office use.

The Type-C interface is located in the central area above the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard, and the interface part does not adopt a special design, so users can change the connection line at will. For example, for some users of ultra-thin notebooks with only Type-C interface, they can use it normally by changing a data cable with dual-C interface. The standard data cable is a bit hard, if you like a soft cable, you can also change the paracord cable yourself.

There are five anti-slip stickers with a large area on the bottom of the keyboard, and the bottom of the supporting feet is made of silicone material, which also has a good anti-slip effect, ensuring that the keyboard can be used stably on desktops of various materials.

Although the price of the Rapoo V700DIY is not high, this keyboard has a lot of features. It not only supports hot-swappable switches, but also is equipped with PBT two-color injection keycaps that feel delicate and not easy to oil. Moisturizing, comfortable, smooth, stable, and not stuck. According to the official introduction, the plugging life of the metal shaft seat has reached 10,000 times, and it has the advantages of anti-oxidation and strain resistance, and the follow-up playability is also relatively good.

At present, Rapoo has independently developed two switches that support hot-swapping, namely the gray linear fast silver switch and the white linear spring white switch. The Rapoo V700DIY in my hand comes with a linear fast silver switch. The total stroke is 4mm, the trigger stroke is 1.3±0.5mm, and the trigger pressure is 45±10gf. The button feels a bit like the soft feeling of the red switch, but the rebound is much stronger than the red switch. Because the trigger stroke is relatively short, the trigger The speed is very fast. If you are used to putting your fingers on the keyboard accidentally, it is quite easy to accidentally touch it. It is more suitable for coding or playing games.

If you like to press all the buttons to the bottom, the feel of this switch is slightly similar to that of the red switch, and the sound is even quieter than the red switch, and even a bit close to the feeling of the silent red switch, but the pressing force is similar to that of the brown switch, without red The shaft is so brisk. If you can get used to the superficial half-stroke tapping, then you can fully feel the advantages of trigger sensitivity and strong hand feeling, which is quite comfortable.

In addition, the author also experienced the feel of the linear spring white switch. In terms of parameters, the total stroke of the switch body is 3.4mm, the trigger stroke is 1.2±0.4mm, and the trigger pressure is 35±10gf. Obviously, the button feel is lighter than the linear fast silver switch. The overall feel is as soft and brisk as the red switch. Because the total stroke is relatively short, there is no muddy feeling at all. It is very suitable for users who like fast hand speed. The sound is also as quiet as the linear fast silver switch.

These two switch bodies adopt the wall-type double-sided dust-proof wall design, which can prevent dust and fine debris from falling into the gap, and ensure that the keyboard still feels good after long-term use. Coupled with the blessing of 50 million times of life, these two shafts are still worth trying by keyboard players.

In the driver, you can customize the function of each button, and you can also freely adjust the lighting of the keyboard. Of course, the macro function that many players cannot do without is also supported. After the user has set up in the driver, the custom file can be stored in the onboard storage of the keyboard, or it can be stored in the cloud. After changing the computer, it can be directly synchronized through the driver software cloud.

It is worth mentioning that this keyboard that supports RGB lighting effects provides a total of two modes: office mode and game mode, which can be switched through the M key. Among them, the office mode can switch among 18 lighting modes sequentially through the V1 key, while the game mode supports up to 19 lighting modes, and can also customize the lighting for individual buttons. For example, for FPS game players, the four buttons of WASD are the most important, so in the game mode, only these buttons can be lighted up, which is convenient for players to play at night.

With the V2 key, the scroll wheel can switch back and forth between the light brightness function and the volume control function, and the V3 key provides a one-key mute function. In addition, the combination of FN key and F1~F12 can also realize forward, backward, fast play, pause and many other functions, which is enough to meet the needs of various users.

In general, Rapoo V700DIY can definitely be called the volume king in the field of mechanical keyboards. It has enough functions and solid materials. It also supports full-key without punching. It is very good whether it is for office work or for playing games. . If you get tired of using it later, the keycaps and shafts can be replaced at will, and the keyboard can have a new experience in minutes. Do you plan to try it?
