Xiaoyuan’s Keyboard Part 2: It will be the first transparent keyboard in 2023, and it was chosen by Lofree Luofei 1% fog

written in front

There should be a new look in the new year. For lovers of digital desks, the new look should be replaced with new equipment. For example, build a new desk that fits 2023, change to a keyboard that you have long wanted, or reward yourself with a new camera, etc. In fact, after thinking about it, many things can still be fought for many years. However, liking this thing is not so easy to define, live in the present, and treat yourself better when the situation allows. So there is this Lofree 1% foggy mechanical keyboard.

I’m Luo Fei’s little fan. Since last year, their 1% series of transparent mechanical keyboards has been released, and now they have released the third one. Each has a different definition, which is also the constant innovation of their designers. . 1% pure and transparent, 1% vitality orange and transparent, and now this 1% mist, it feels like many things have been handled. So here is a talk about the feeling of this 1% foggy mechanical keyboard.

1% "brightness" of fog

Many people know the feeling of seeing flowers in the fog, so I would like to talk about the feeling of seeing 1% in the fog. From the backlight that I have always liked, I prefer the backlight of the keyboard. A keyboard without a backlight always feels like something is missing. Of course, for the backlight, some keyboards are often uncomfortable, and turning on the backlight will feel glaring instead.

But for the mist, it feels very comfortable to turn on the backlight. It feels like looking at flowers in the fog. The backlight is bright but hazy. When the backlight is turned on, it feels like the keycaps and switches are glowing. It should be said that the entire keyboard is glowing. , it is a luminous transparent body keyboard.

This is what I like about the mist. For its lighting effects, there are a total of 7 types, which can be switched through the combination of keys, and the brightness can be adjusted. There are also markings on the keycaps, so you don’t need to read the manual to operate.

1% Appearance of fog

As for the appearance of the mist, I think many people will find it good-looking at first sight. It is the same as the previous 1%, the size is the same, but the material is changed to a matte texture, which makes the whole keyboard look hazy, which is also its special feature.

All the keycaps seem to be independent individuals, but they are put together as a whole. The keycap subtitles are also relatively large, so there is no need to worry about not being able to read the fonts clearly.

There is a technical nameplate on the front side of the entire keyboard, and there are four metal rivets on the back side, adding a little more metal texture to the whole. If you turn over and look at the back, you will also find that the designer did not give up because of the original distance on the back. There are also many design elements. For example, Luofei's metal logo and black note design.

There is a one-stage foot support at the bottom, and users can raise it to a certain angle according to their preferences. Of course, the outside of the foot support is made of soft silicone material, which can also play a non-slip effect.

On the upper right side of the bottom of the keyboard, you can switch the keyboard mode and switch between different systems of win or Mac.

The wired interface is also set on the right rear side. It is used with the 90-degree data cable in the set, and it is quite harmonious on the desktop.

1% foggy keycaps and switches

The keycaps of Misty are still using the patented keycap structure independently developed by Luofei, multi-layer PC technology, the interior of the keycap is made of double-layer hollow design, which increases the light transmission of the keycap, and the keycap has strong wear resistance and is not easy to be stained with oil. Fingerprint, have a good experience.

White keycaps with black characters look more eye-catching. The characters on the keycaps are made with multiple silk screen printing processes. The fonts are clear and will not fade or yellow after long-term use.

Using different shafts, the feel of the mechanical keyboard will be different. The Misty shaft uses the wall jellyfish shaft of Kaihua MX structure. The total stroke of the shaft is 4mm, the trigger pressure is 38g, the trigger stroke is 2mm, and the key life is as high as 50 million. Second-rate. The sound of the whole shaft is not loud, and it doesn’t need too much force to start. For those who like quietness, the whole shaft is quite suitable.

But for mechanical keyboards, the fun thing is that you can change the shaft body and keycap according to your preference. Another thing I like about Misty is that it only supports hot-swapping, and it is no longer only the original factory configuration. So changing to other different shafts will also have a different experience, which makes the experience of this mist begin to expand.

1% Misty connection and battery life

Many of the three-mode mechanical keyboards on the market now have bluetooth and wired modes. The keyboard has a built-in 2000mAh lithium battery. When the backlight is turned off, the Bluetooth connection can be used for about 100 hours. When the backlight is turned on and the maximum brightness is turned on, the Bluetooth connection can be used for about 10 hours. It takes 3 hours to fully charge. My understanding is that I like it. Wireless desktops can use Bluetooth connection. If you really like the backlight of the keyboard, it is recommended to use a wired connection, so you don’t have to worry about battery power. Of course, the appearance of the built-in data cable is still very good.

Bluetooth 5.1 can support the use of different Bluetooth devices, and it is also widely used.

some usage scenarios

Whether it is the fog with lights on or the fog without backlight, it is a bright spot of the desktop. It is also versatile in the white table or the dark table.

When replacing the shaft body, if you look carefully, you can see that there is poron sound-absorbing cotton in the cavity, which is also the place where the details are reflected.

Summarize

For this Lofree 1% mist mechanical keyboard, I mentioned two things I like above. One is the mild backlight, but it supports hot-swapping, and you can change the shaft and keycap according to your preferences. Compared with others Naturally, it is also good. If you are a beauty lover, Misty thinks it satisfies you, and then you want to add some experience of your own personality, Misty is also satisfied.

So, in general, such a foggy keyboard still needs to be collected.
