written in front

Hello, everyone, I am Xiaoyuan. I have written dozens of mechanical keyboard recommendations and experience before. I also have my own preference for mechanical keyboards. Today I will briefly talk about a mechanical keyboard I am using recently. The keyboard is the V700DIY mechanical keyboard from Rapoo.

For mechanical keyboards, everyone has different preferences. Some people like aluminum lumps, like gasket structure, like RGB, like three-mode, like hot-swappable, among so many mechanical keyboards, they will always find the one that suits them. There are also a lot of limited edition mechanical keyboard studios out there, but those are expensive. For mass-produced mechanical keyboards, we can also choose the one that suits us.

Rapoo V700DIY

I am not unfamiliar with the Rapoo brand, and it is not the first time I have come into contact with it. I have used their keyboard and mouse before. I am a person who often uses peripherals. It can be said that different manufacturers have their own strengths.

First of all, in terms of packaging, it conforms to the traditional packaging of Rapoo. The combination of black and cyan is also more technological. You can clearly see many parameters of the mechanical keyboard on the back of the packaging, saving you from reading the internal manual. When you open the package, you can see the white mechanical keyboard, which is a white model. I remember that when I wanted to build a white table last year, I always wanted to have a white mechanical keyboard. This year, I have it. I will take a few pictures of the table later.

The overall package includes the main body of the keyboard, data items, and a key puller. The configuration is very simple, there is no replacement keycap, and there is also Rapoo’s own white switch, which can replace the experience.

For this keyboard, you can see that the upper cover is made of aluminum alloy, which looks very textured, and the lower cover is made of plastic material. The overall key position adopts a 104-key configuration, which is suitable for people who like to use full keyboards. , especially frequent users of number keys, I think this is the keyboard of my dreams.

On the front, you can see that the 104 key is a floating key design. You can see the transparent shaft body and RGB color from the head-up angle. I think this design is very friendly to daily dust removal. You don’t need to blow it with your mouth. One breath can clear some of the dust.

The design of the overall front keyboard is more distinctive is the design in the upper right corner, which highlights an area to make this keyboard have its own characteristics. You can see that in addition to the RAOPOO logo, there are four more buttons and a scroll wheel.

The M key can adjust the switch between office and game modes, v1 can adjust the RGB lighting, V2 can be used with the scroll wheel to adjust the lighting or volume, and v3 can quickly realize the mute setting. I still like the setting of the keyboard with a scroll wheel or a knob. You can freely adjust the volume of the computer. The scroll wheel has a sense of paragraph when it is rolled, and the volume can be adjusted more finely.

The front is basically like this, and the back side is a detachable type-c interface. The detachable design is much more convenient for storage, and it can be plugged in when in use.

There are five non-slip pads at the bottom. Although the keyboard itself is not heavy, it is very stable to place on the table with the non-slip pads. In addition, there is a one-stage adjustable foot support, which can be used according to your own needs.

The overall appearance of this keyboard is basically like this. Next, let’s take a look at its keycaps, shaft RGB and other aspects. If you buy it, you can say that it is V700DIY. Of course, the main focus is DIY, and it supports hot-swapping, so You can freely change the shaft body or keycap you like, which is also the playability of the mechanical keyboard.

The switch body of this keyboard is the Rapoo independent hot-swappable linear fast silver switch, the trigger key travel is short, the rebound is relatively strong, and the sound is relatively quiet. This switch body is still very suitable for games and offices.

The hot-swappable metal shaft seat supports 10,000 times of plugging and unplugging, and you can replace your own shaft body at will, supporting most of the shaft bodies on the market. For example, you can replace the white shaft of the Rapoo bomb as a gift, and try it out.

The keycap adopts a PBT two-color injection keycap with a slightly matte feel, and the inside of the keycap also has a rib design, which will not cause oiling after long-term use.

For the RGB lighting effect, I have always liked it. This keyboard is equipped with a total of 19 lighting effects, which can be customized after connecting the driver. But usually use one or two favorite lighting effects.

In terms of operation and use, the use of the special keys in the upper right corner was mentioned earlier, so there is no conflict with the 104 keys in daily key position use. In the win system, the combination of Fn+F keys can also be used to achieve different keys. The shortcut key operation of the function, such as FN+F11 for the previous song, FN+F12 for the next song, etc., can be memorized in use according to your own habits.

This is the end of the introduction experience of this mechanical keyboard. It can be said that this keyboard is very cost-effective. The shaft body and keycap can be replaced. The 104 keys are very friendly to users who rely on the digital area. A variety of RGB lights It is also good for RGB lovers. The most important thing is that it is cheap, and the floating keycap is easy to clean. If you need a cost-effective keyboard, you can consider this one.
