A Quiet Mechanical Keyboard: Things You May Want to Know

Today's peripheral product market is quite hot, with many well-known brands, and it is not easy for a new brand to gain a firm foothold in the fierce competition. Keychron, born in 2017, takes its quality as a high-end strategy, and has also established a high degree of recognition among consumers. Among them, the representative Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard is a model that has been fully improved in terms of workmanship, quality, and playability. Let us take a look at its experience today!

The outer packaging of the Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard is relatively stable. The outer packaging uses a black color-matched box with the conspicuous Keychron K8 Pro wording on the box surface. At the same time, there is a sketch preview of the product on the seal. Introduction of parameters and characteristics.

There is a sponge in the packaging for external impact protection, and the keyboard is also packaged in a semi-transparent packaging bag, which provides a reliable guarantee for the product during express delivery. In addition, in order to reduce the user's learning cost, Keychron also thoughtfully provides players with a quick use guide and a switch guide, so that they can quickly understand how to use the keyboard.

In terms of accessories, in addition to the keyboard itself, it also provides an L-shaped USB Type-C keyboard cable, a wire cap puller, a shaft puller, 4 supplementary keycaps for Windows icons, a screwdriver and an Allen wrench, and a product manual , Shaft Guide, Quick Guide, etc. In view of the ease of use of peripheral products, it can be said that there are all that should be. As for why screwdrivers and inner hexagons are provided, the following will introduce them in detail.

The appearance of the Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard is low-key and elegant. Of course, the color matching depends on whether you like it or not, but I really like this calm black keyboard, and I think it is a must-buy keyboard in this price range. Because players who are just getting started may not have the patience to tune a customized keyboard so well, not to mention that Keychron K8 Pro also supports dual-mode connection, supports pairing of three devices and VIA custom key function.

Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard is available in plastic version and metal version. The difference lies in the material of the keyboard frame. The author is the metal version. It is worth mentioning that the outer frame of this keyboard can be removed, and it can be quickly removed through the hexagonal wrench provided in the product accessories. After the outer frame is removed, the weight of the keyboard body is also reduced, which is suitable for going out. It is very convenient to carry.

Currently in the market, the most common mechanical keyboards used by players are mainly composed of full-size and TKL, which are keyboards with and without numeric keypads respectively. For the needs of most players to use the keyboard, in fact, most users may not use the number pad on the right, so the TKL keyboard is becoming more and more popular among players. And this Keychron K8 Pro is a typical 80% layout design 87 keyboard, which reduces the number keypad, and the keycaps are also engraved with various function icons and text, which can effectively save desktop space while ensuring practicality. In terms of text entry and gaming experience, it will be more comfortable than a full-size keyboard.

Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard is a dual-mode keyboard that supports Bluetooth and wired, and can adapt to 3 devices at the same time. For the mixed office mode of modern urbanites, it is necessary to mix and use among Windows, macOS, and iPadOS, and Keychron K8 Pro can seamlessly switch between these devices. Moreover, it can be used not only at home, but also when going out with a laptop or tablet.

The Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard is very suitable for use with Mac. What is more impressive is the Control, Option, ⌘ at the bottom of the keyboard, and the Mac screenshot, Siri voice and light buttons in the upper right corner. These are common shortcut keys on Mac. Of course, in order to take care of Windows users, Keychron also provides us with exclusive Windows icon keys to achieve mixed use of multiple platforms.

The switch and interface of the Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard are located on the left side of the fuselage. In order to meet the needs of different users, it supports Bluetooth 5.1 and wired connection respectively. If the connected device does not have a USB interface, it can be connected via Bluetooth. It is also very convenient to use it with a laptop or tablet when going out. Because this keyboard supports Bluetooth, it also has a built-in 4000mAh battery, which can last for about 80 hours. Of course, according to the different usage conditions of each person, the power consumption is also different. In addition, the left side of the Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard also provides a USB Type-C interface to charge the keyboard or use it as a wired keyboard. At the same time, the L-shaped cable supports blind plugging.

Looking from the side of the keyboard, it can be found that the Keychron K8 Pro has a slightly tilted design when the stand is not erected. The height of the keycaps in different positions is different, and daily use can bring players a more comfortable use angle and avoid extra pressure on the hands and wrists. The two-stage tripod at the bottom of the keyboard is also suitable for the needs of different players.

The bottom of the keyboard is very simple, providing a two-stage tripod, four non-slip feet, and product information stickers.

By adjusting the feet on the bottom of the keyboard, you can adjust the typing and gaming angle between three angles (0º, 6º and 9º). Four rectangular anti-slip pads can make the keyboard stable on the desktop, so that the keyboard will not move when typing quickly.

On the switch body, Keychron K8 Pro adopts G Pro switch body of Jiadalong. The official provides three types of G Pro green/tea/red switches. The author chooses the G Pro red switch. Its trigger pressure is 45 grams, the trigger key travel is 2 mm, and the total key travel is 4 mm. It will give people a feeling that the key has been bounced before being pressed, so its trigger speed is extremely fast, which can make the machine The keyboard completely bid farewell to key delay. Using it to play games will not have the tight feeling of the black switch. We can clearly feel the joy and comfort of operation, and the rebound speed is very fast, which perfectly achieves the balance between the feel and the operation speed.

In addition, the keyboard supports full-key hot swapping, so we can also freely replace other switches. In addition, the pin slot on the keychron K8 Pro's PCB board is 5 pins, so 3 pins and 5 pins can be used interchangeably.

The Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard has a full-key RGB backlight and 14 built-in light effects. After connecting the device, the light is very dazzling, and the gaming atmosphere is overwhelming.

The Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard adopts Jiadalong's screw-mounted satellite shaft solution, which is more direct in the force transmission process, has high stability, and is not easy to shake. The satellite shaft and its dragon boat dragon bean are manually lubricated before leaving the factory, and the feel is crisp and neat.

EVA sound-absorbing cotton is also added between the positioning board and the PCB, and the bottom is also equipped with shock-absorbing cotton, which can reduce the cavity sound generated when tapping, and can also filter out the noise generated when tapping, with thick keycaps The side wall also makes the percussion sound more pleasing to the ear, bringing users a double enjoyment in hand feeling and hearing.

On the keycap, the Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard has also been upgraded. Unlike the OEM keycap used in the previous product (Keychron K8), the Keychron K8 Pro is an OSA ball cap that mixes OEM and SA. High-quality PBT is also used. In addition to reducing the occurrence of discoloration, the touch and anti-slip properties of the buttons are good.

What is more interesting is that the Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard can be supported by QMK/VIA open source, and the VIA program can be downloaded through the official website. Users can customize the overall keyboard settings through software, such as key mapping, macros and layout. First of all, when running the VIA program, you need to change the Mac or Windows layout selected in Keychron K8 Pro to use the function. It supports a total of 7 setting menus from Basic to Custom under the keyboard interface. Especially in the case of macros, it is a useful feature for users dealing with open sources such as programming languages. If a macro is entered in the form source that is the basis of programming, and a key is set, the set key can be automatically entered once during programming, thereby reducing input time.

Because the wireless uses Bluetooth 5.1, compared with Bluetooth 4.0 or 5.0, the connection of Bluetooth 5.1 is more stable, and the delay is lower, so it is still possible to play games with it. And thanks to the blessing of large-capacity batteries, there is no problem at all in about 3 days of actual use.

Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard The mechanical keyboard supports full-key without punching, we can output multiple keys at the same time, and there will be no problem of key conflicts. Through the actual measurement of the Keyboard Test Utility software, there are no keys that are actually pressed but not sent.

The experience of the Keychron K8 Pro mechanical keyboard is quite brilliant, and the details are also handled in place. 80% layout, PBT OSA ball cap, Jiadalong G Pro shaft body, manual lubrication and tuning satellite shaft, pre-installed sandwich pad + bottom noise reduction cotton, Bluetooth/wired dual mode and other configurations are all in one. At the same time, Keychron K8 Pro is perfectly compatible with platforms such as windows and Mac, and it is such a comfortable keyboard that gives us a better choice.

Glory of Kings has penetrated into thousands of households. From the elderly to the young children, they will basically play two games when they are free. This is entertainment. King of Glory has developed a variety of official competitions, and there are various competitive teams in the game competition. The game is not useless in the traditional view, but requires teamwork, tacit understanding, etc., which can be cultivated by individuals. skills. There are only so many competitions related to the competition, and there are only a few who can win the championship. Ordinary people can't stand on the podium, but they can realize the feeling of being with the champion by purchasing some co-branded products.

No, recently Rapoo has played around with computer peripherals and peripherals, and newly launched a joint family barrel product of the King of Glory champion team eStarPro.

To be honest, regardless of the commemorative significance of the joint model, this simple and atmospheric color scheme is a great love. The Rapoo eStarPro co-branded family barrel includes: Rapoo V700-8A independent fast silver-axis mechanical keyboard, Rapoo VH650 virtual 7.1-channel RGB gaming headset, Rapoo M650 multi-mode wireless pudding mouse, and a medium-sized mouse pad. The consumer usage reports will also be carried out in this order one by one later.

Rapoo V700-8A is a new multi-mode mechanical keyboard recently released by Rapoo. I bought a mecha purple green switch at the first time to feel it when it was launched. At that time, this keyboard was only available in three colors: Lonely Warrior, Mecha Purple, and No Man's Land, and the switch body was only available in three colors of green and black tea. With the release of the eStarPro joint model, not only new colors, but also The connecting shaft is also updated to the Rapoo independent fast silver shaft that is more suitable for games.

The packaging of the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard has also been updated. There are two layers. The first is the pull-out shell. The product model and appearance are printed on the package, as well as the co-branded logo ESTAR. The overall packaging is white and blue, and the style is relatively fresh. After taking out the first layer of packaging, there is only a pure white packaging with a brand logo, and the disposable sealing sticker is also on this layer.

After opening the package, what you see is not the keyboard body, but a key distribution map. This is more individual, and I have never seen this kind of key map in other keyboard packages, even the non-co-branded V700- 8A has none. Then there is the keyboard body. Not surprisingly, it is still white and blue, fresh and natural.

Take out all the contents of the package, including: keyboard, 2.4Ghz receiver, key puller, manual, Type-c data cable.

The 2.4Ghz receiver of the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard.

The Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard, Rapoo officially gave the co-branded model a name: the boundless star sea, which sounds more artistic, the sun rises and the moon sinks, the star sea is boundless, with the e-wave mascot as the representative element, the vastness The starry sky is the background, the clouds are surging and the dragons are singing, touching the broader and boundless sky, and seeing the miracle that belongs to the hexagram. It can be seen from the appearance diagram that the keys of this keyboard are arranged in a 75% arrangement, with a total of 84 keys, and the overall layout is compact without any spare space.

The main function of the Pennefather V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard is to support multi-device connection. A total of 5 devices can be paired, three of which are via Bluetooth (including Bluetooth 5.0 and Bluetooth 3.0), and one is via a 2.4Ghz receiver. One is connected by wire. Bluetooth connects to mobile phones, tablets and other devices, 2.4Ghz connects to notebooks, and wired connects to PCs, perfect. Switching is also very easy, just switch through the function key Fn and the number corresponding to the number area. Numbers 1-5 are also printed with different connection methods on the keycaps to avoid confusion.

When it comes to wired connections, the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard provides a Type-c interface on the back of the keyboard, which can not only connect to the wired connection, but also charge the keyboard.

Such a good-looking exclusive keycap is no exception to the PBT material, but the keycap of the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard is five-sided thermal sublimation, which further improves the durability of the keycap and can be away from surface printing. The color fades, and the keycap is oiled after a long time. From the perspective of visual effect, the color is fuller, it looks more textured, and the touch feels slightly frosted.

The Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard uses a floating island-style keycap design, which is easier to clean. Although everyone doesn't care about this, who doesn't love a clean and tidy keyboard? It can be cleaned up easily, why not do it?

In addition to the craftsmanship of the keycaps, the frame of the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard is made of aluminum alloy material with sandblasting and oxidation process, and the effect is directly full whether it is visual or tactile. A brand logo light in front of the keyboard further enhances the texture and makes it comfortable to look at.

As mentioned earlier, the Rapoo V700-8A series mechanical keyboards originally used only green and black tea shafts, but the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard uses Rapoo’s own fast silver shafts, which belong to the linear shaft body. If the body feeling is not obvious, it can be understood as a linear feel similar to the red switch. I don’t need to say more about those who are sensitive to the switch body. The feel of the fast silver switch is not worse than the hottest gold powder switch.

In addition to the first time, the large key of the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard adopts the satellite shaft design, which makes it easier to replace the keycap.

The Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard naturally does not lack support for RGB lighting effects, but since it is a co-branded model, it must have the characteristics of the co-branded model. The Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard uses ice Blue light effect backlight system, the light position is in the upper area of ​​the shaft body. The color of this background light is also integrated with the color system of the joint name. In terms of lighting mode, the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard also provides a variety of options: 7 backlight lighting effects, including ripple, constant light, single point, breathing, starry dots, curve mode, and custom mode. Fn+Right Ctrl to toggle. The combination of Fn and arrow keys can also adjust the frequency and brightness of the light (a total of 4 levels of brightness).

There are four non-slip rubber pads on the back of the keyboard, and the switch is also hidden at the bottom of the keyboard. The battery is hidden inside the keyboard. You may have doubts, it has lighting effects and Bluetooth, how long can this keyboard be used without plugging in the cable? The Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery. The key is that Rapoo also has its own low-power consumption technology. If it is only used unlimitedly, it can be used for about 2 months when fully charged. If the effect is full , can take about 1 week.

The bottom is designed with a one-piece foot support. If you feel uncomfortable typing when laying flat, you can use the foot support to increase the slope of the keyboard to improve typing comfort.

The 84 key positions of the Rapoo V700-8A eStarPro co-branded mechanical keyboard can be independently set through the driver program, and the setting effects can be written into the onboard chip or stored in the cloud for retrieval and use at any time. Under the Windows system, you can also use the Fn and F function keys to realize the multimedia pairing function, which is convenient and fast for office work, entertainment and games.

Although it is a co-branded product of mobile games, since it is a co-branded game, it must have some game attributes. One of the products that is not co-branded with the family bucket is the virtual 7.1-channel RGB gaming headset, Rapoo VH650. The name of the color scheme of the Rapoo VH650 eStarPro joint model is also called Xinghai Boundless.

The packaging of the Rapoo VH650 eStarPro co-branded model is the same as the keyboard shared above. It is also the main color of white and blue. The appearance of the headset can be seen on the front of the package, and the model of the headset is also marked. The side of the package is the characteristic function of this headset, and the back of the headset is the production information of the headset without exception.

The content is very simple, that is, the main body of the earphone and an instruction manual. The Rapoo VH650 eStarPro joint model is a wired design, which does not seem as convenient as a Bluetooth wireless connection, but since it is positioned as a gaming headset, reducing the delay is the top priority. No matter how advanced the wireless connection is, it is impossible to lower the delay than the wired connection. This is why this headset is designed with a wired connection. The appearance of the headset is also white and blue, which can be integrated with the keyboard.

The cable plug of the Rapoo VH650 eStarPro co-branded model uses USB-A, which does not seem to be so high-end, but actually expands the usage scenarios. The USB-A interface is still the mainstream interface of the PC. Of course, the game book will not lack USB. -A interface, which can achieve direct connection.

Headphones can change the damage caused by in-ear headphones to the ear canal, but the "clamp head" feature makes many headphones not so comfortable to wear, but the Rapoo VH650 eStarPro joint model has increased earmuffs. Considering the thickness of the sponge and the size of the earmuffs, it can wrap the ears at an adaptive angle.

On the head beam, the sponge thickness of the head beam is thickened, and a retractable metal single head beam design is used to further improve the comfort.

In terms of sound, the Rapoo VH650 eStarPro joint model is equipped with a single-formed 50mm diaphragm generator unit, which has strong power and transient explosive power, and can restore the scene in the game in the game scene, plus the driver software to open the virtual 7.1 channel Sound effects, to achieve hearing recognition, enhance the sense of the scene.

In game battles, voice dialogue is an essential link, especially when playing team battles. The Rapoo VH650 eStarPro co-branded model has a high-sensitivity omnidirectional noise-canceling microphone on the right ear side, which can effectively suppress environmental noise and ensure pure and clean voice calls. With the support of the microphone material, the angle can be adjusted arbitrarily to adapt to more scenes.

The Rapoo VH650 eStarPro co-branded model has three physical buttons designed on the outside of the earmuffs, which are the backlight switch, the volume adjustment wheel, and the microphone switch. The position is just right, and you can touch it with your hand.

As a cool headset, how can it work without the blessing of RGB? The Rapoo VH650 eStarPro joint model is designed with ring-mounted RGB light strips on the outer rings of the earmuffs of the left and right ears.

Rapoo also provides an exclusive driver for the Rapoo VH650 eStarPro co-branded model. The Rapoo Gaming Headphone driver is used to customize the sound quality of the headset to meet different game scenarios.

The packaging of the Rapoo M650 pudding mouse eStarPro co-branded model does not use white and blue color matching like the keyboard and earphones, but a pure white design. This packaging is consistent with the ordinary M650.

It also adopts a two-layer packaging design. The first layer is a pull-out shell, and the second layer is a transparent PVC top cover. There are some mouse usage reminders printed on it, and you can directly see the appearance and color of the mouse body. Compared with the ordinary M650 mouse, the joint model has the ESTAR logo printed on the palm, which is unique.

After taking out the mouse, it was discovered that the Rapoo M650 pudding mouse eStarPro co-branded model is actually a white mouse with a blue color on the side of the mouse and an ESTAR logo on the palm, which is relatively simple overall. The material of the mouse is skin-friendly, soft elastic rubber ring.

The mouse has a total of three buttons, namely the left button, right button, and scroll wheel. A Bluetooth pairing switch is designed on the back of the mouse.

When the box is newly opened, there is an arrow that is pulled hard. In fact, this is used to isolate the internal battery from contacting the mouse contacts, so as not to run out of power before starting to use it. This is also a measure to protect the battery.

The Rapoo M650 pudding mouse eStarPro co-branded model adopts a magnetic suction cover design, with three magnetic suction points, the suction is strong, so you don’t have to worry about it falling during normal use. The Rapoo M650 pudding mouse eStarPro co-branded model is powered by a AA battery. Through Rapoo’s own power saving technology, a AA battery can last for 9 months.

There is also a 2.4Ghz receiver next to the battery compartment. I have to make a suggestion here. If it is sold in a set, is it possible to distinguish the receiver of the mouse from the receiver of the keyboard? After all, it is a topic. Yes, it's not a big trouble if you don't distinguish and get confused, but you have to test it anyway. However, the keyboard supports multi-device connection, and the Rapoo M650 pudding mouse eStarPro also supports Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 3.0 and 2.4Ghz connections, so the receiver is basically a spare connection option. Of course, if there are many devices, you can pair three at the same time and switch at will.

The Rapoo M650 pudding mouse eStarPro co-branded model is flat, medium mouse, with a warm and moist shape, and supports a DPI of 1300.

After opening the magnetic cover, you can clearly see the slight movement of the scroll wheel and the left and right buttons. The micro-movement of the Rapoo M650 pudding mouse eStarPro co-branded model is silent, and the press is basically silent.

The last one is a mouse pad that does not need a title but has the theme style of the eStarPro joint model. It is a medium-sized mouse pad in size and a leather-like material in terms of material, and it is ultra-thin. However, can you tell which member of the eStarPro team is the guy on the mouse pad?

To sum up, this set of Rapoo’s co-branded family barrels is rich in equipment, including keyboards, earphones, mice, and mouse pads. The design with the same theme can make obsessive-compulsive disorder happy, and different equipment can also stand out in the same category with cost-effectiveness. If you are a fan of eStarPro, don’t get entangled, it’s comfortable to buy it back and watch it; if you are a gamer, although this set of family barrels is released as a joint model, the configuration is designed towards gaming equipment; this dual Eleven, I hope you can choose a set of equipment you like.

The above is all the content of this sharing, thank you for watching, and please don’t hesitate to share.

Hope the above content can be helpful to your purchase.

Write at the beginning:
This article is mainly to evaluate the keyboard made by Beijing Tokyo, which is the keychron series keyboard.
This keyboard is very popular on the Internet, and the SKU is very complete, covering a wide range of prices, whether it is for beginners or customized keyboards.

This time, I bought the keyboard together with a few friends who like keyboards. I want to make an evaluation of this series of keyboards as realistically as possible.

First come a big group photo:

From top to bottom, from left to right, in order:
K8 Epoch series-87 keys-hot swap-phantom tea switch, K2-84 keys-hot swap tea switch, K6-68 keys-RGB red switch, K3-84 keys-white light-short tea switch, K10- 104 keys - red axis RGB version.

Note: The article also includes the new 870 mechanical keyboard made by Beijing

It basically covers multiple products at multiple price points. In terms of switch body selection, there are mainly tea switches, red switches, short tea switches, and phantom tea switches. Among them, K2 has been used by a friend for a while, and it can be seen clearly. Show signs of use.

When it comes to mechanical keyboards before, they are all Cherry switches, but due to Cherry's lack of progress, domestic switches have caught up with or even surpassed Cheery in terms of feel and quality in recent years.

Many domestic brands, including Gateron, Kailh, Goto, and ttc, are very popular in the field of mechanical keyboards.

The entire series of mechanical keyboards made in Beijing use Jiadalong switches, including the more common Jiadalong green switches, brown switches, red switches, short switches, and phantom switches.

To put it simply, the linear axis can go to the end with one click, but the paragraph axis will be a little stuck.

The green axis is a typical paragraph axis, and there will be an obvious "click" sound when using it, while the red axis is a typical linear axis, straight up and down, very crisp, with only a "da", the tea axis is quite satisfactory, Between the two, the sense of passage is less obvious.

The same is the linear axis (paragraph axis), there are also differences.

The trigger pressure is different from the rebound point. For example, our commonly used membrane keyboard has a small trigger pressure and a small rebound point. You will feel a little sticky when using it. Laptop keyboards are mostly scissor keyboards, and the trigger pressure will be higher, but the key travel is still very short, typing is fast, and it is very average when playing games.

My point is: there is no best shaft, only the most suitable shaft.

Buy a keyboard and go back to experience it, and keep everything in the packaging well. If you think it’s not easy to use, then try another one—remember to buy a product with shipping insurance, so that the loss to the brand will be less.

In addition, now it is also supported to buy various shafts separately for customization. You can experience all kinds of shafts and see which one you like.

As far as I am concerned, I used to use the Cherry green switch the most in college, mainly for playing games, but it is really... very tiring to use.

Now when I play games, I usually use the tea switch of the mechanic. The code word is currently using the gold powder switch of ttc. Recently, I am using the K89 era series and Jiadalong phantom switch made by Beijing.

This really depends on your job content. You don’t need it for purely playing games. If it involves calculations, a small keyboard is still very useful.

At present, there are many kinds of keyboard configurations, the few are only 61 (cut off the F key + small keyboard), the most are 104/108 keys, and there are more than 70 keys, and the common one is 84/87 keys.

My point of view is: one is to see if you need a small keyboard, and the other is to pay attention to the position of important keys such as the Backspace key/Enter key.

Many keyboards like to make some fancy designs on these keys, which is very anti-human. As long as the large keys are well designed, basically there will be no mistakes.

Multi-mode is a variety of modes of connection, up to three: Bluetooth connection + 2.4G wireless connection + wired connection.

The 2.4G connection is to insert a signal receiver on the computer, because many desktop motherboards do not have Bluetooth, and this method is required to connect. All Jingzao series are dual-mode (Bluetooth + wired).

Among them, the Bluetooth connection supports one-key switching of multiple devices. These functions are not used by ordinary people, and it will only increase the cost of the keyboard...

At present, more than 200 mechanical keyboards are basically adapted to Mac (that is, Mac-specific keys such as the Command key are marked on the keycaps), you can understand that "most mechanical keyboards can be used on Mac superior".

Of course, the full series of keyboards made by Beijing are all equipped for Mac (with special replacement keycaps and mode switching keys), so you can see this series of keyboards in many recommended content for Mac keyboards.

It is generally divided into ABS and PBT. ABS is very common in life. It is often used in toys, keycaps, auto parts, etc. It is characterized by cheapness and high cost performance...but it is easy to oil, such as the middle part of K2 in this picture. It is obviously different from the surrounding area, it is oiling.

PBT keycaps are not easy to oil, cost more, wear-resistant and not oily, but the feel is different from ABS, it will be rougher and thicker.

Because of the cost, generally speaking, the better keyboards will use PBT keycaps, but I personally think that the two have their own styles in terms of experience, and we cannot simply judge them based on price.

The keyboard made by Beijing is very popular, and it has a market on Zhihu and among major keyboard lovers.

I have used so many Beijing-made keyboards, and here is an overall conclusion: at the same price, Beijing-made keyboards may not be the most cost-effective. But quality control, quality, and stability are second to none. With so many types of keyboards, each keycap has no burr, Bluetooth is connected in seconds, and the gaps in the frame make the overall workmanship very neat.

There are also disadvantages:

First, the keyboard style of most of the Jingzao series is relatively low-key and lacks vividness.

Second, the keyboard cable is a bit shorter (compared to other brands I have used).

First of all, take a picture to help you understand all the keyboard parameters of the Jingzao series at once (the red mark means that this keyboard is special, you can focus on it):

This keyboard has the following features:

All keyboards support key-line separation (including wired keyboards), support win/Mac systems (with replacement keycaps), support one-key switching of lights, and dual-mode design (wired keyboards are not discussed).

You can simply understand it as:
These keyboards are different models obtained by arranging and combining factors such as arrangement, low axis/mechanical axis, wired/wireless, RGB/white light.

It is also very simple to choose,
Find the configuration you like first, then see if you need RGB, and then see if you need a short switch. Basically, you can choose the keyboard you like.

Among them, I recommend the Era series of K8 the most. It has a unique design style, a high degree of customization, a lot of hardware, and a very high price-performance ratio!

The whole series of Jingzao adopts Jiadalong switch body, which is divided into Jiadalong mechanical switch version (most of them are this version): brown switch, green switch and red switch, which are more classic versions;

In addition, there is a short switch, which is matched with a thin aluminum alloy metal body, which makes the keyboard appear small, but the feel of the short switch is not as good as that of the mechanical switch;

There are also phantom shafts, optical shafts, etc., and there are very few such shafts.

It is best to have a keyboard tray for the mechanical switch version, otherwise the keyboard will be relatively high, and the short switch version does not need it.

The new keyboard made by Beijing is currently recommended for entry-level keyboards.

It may be that the keyboard is too curly. Jingzao spent a lot of money this time, and gave PBT keycaps to the 189 yuan wired mechanical keyboard. However, this one only has white light and no RGB. This is a wired keyboard and does not support wireless connections.

I have used this keyboard for two days now, let me tell you about my feelings.

Advantages: Overall, the PBT keycaps feel good, and the "yellow switch" customized by Jingzao has a relatively crisp feel, moderate trigger pressure, but strong rebound.

It is very worthy of praise: the adjustment of the big key is much better than I imagined, and it is very easy to use.

Disadvantages: The texture of the keyboard is still a bit poor. Although the panel is made of alloy, the bottom and the body are made of plastic. The front is actually fine, and it will be more obvious when viewed from the side.

In other respects, there are no RGB, only one gear for the support feet, and the keyboard is too loud. I think it is impossible to force it at this price.

Friends who like 87 keys can start to try it. The current price is 179. If you have a membership, you can lower it. It is indeed a good entry-level keyboard (the video will be posted when it is finished):

There is no doubt that the C series is the best of the best in the entire series. These two are wired keyboards, do not support Bluetooth, and only have white light versions.

However, generally this kind of keyboard is very cost-effective, which means that the brand castrates some performances that they think are not important, so as to concentrate the main force on the product itself.

To put it simply, if the budget is extremely limited and you want to buy a mechanical keyboard, you can consider the C1/C2 version:

The entry-level basic model, this series has the 87-key green switch version, but the K8 does not (it is complementary). In addition, the K1 series cannot adjust the angle, so you need to pay attention.

K1SE, in a simple understanding, is an upgraded version of K1, all of which have been changed to a low-axis version. In addition, foot supports are added to adjust the angle.

This low-axis version has an aluminum alloy shell that looks better than ordinary models. I personally think that if you are purely for office work and want a thinner keyboard, you can consider it, but the feel is really average, and the membrane keyboard is better. The pressure of playing short is also small, but typing is fast:

K2 is considered a better one, and it is also a recommended one.

Starting from the K2, the keyboards of Jingzao basically have all the functions that should be available, such as foot support, dual-mode, hot-swappable, short axis and so on.

If you want to make a mechanical keyboard in Beijing, K2 is a very worthwhile one.

If the budget is sufficient, you can pay attention to the hot-swappable version and the 84-key arrangement. Note: the tea switch only has RGB + hot-swappable, and the price is also much more expensive.

K3 can be understood as the K2SE version, all of which are replaced with short shafts, but with an aluminum alloy frame, which means the same as K1SE.

The difference between K1SE and K3 is mainly the configuration, and the others are almost the same, including the price, which is also very close.

Below is K3, which is more than half thinner than K2

These low-axis models are indeed better-looking than ordinary models in terms of appearance, and their texture is also better:

Still the same sentence, if you don’t play games, you can enter by typing in the office:

Beijing-Tokyo K3 Bluetooth dual-mode low-axis mechanical keyboard 84-key RGB backlit tea axis wireless key

There is nothing to say about the 100-key arrangement of the basic model. If you have a demand for 100 keys, you can consider it, but not many people like this arrangement.

The relatively niche 68-key arrangement is also the one with the least arrangement in the Beijing-made series.

In terms of overall appearance, this arrangement looks good. The 68 keys can play the characteristics of the metal frame, which is very beautiful. Although it is a 68-key arrangement, it is basically the same size as the K3-84 key arrangement.

The main reason is to delete the F key and put it in the number key, which needs to be triggered by a combination key. And this is what I said before "it is not the enter, backspace and other keys on the far right". If you don't really like this arrangement, then I don't recommend you to buy it.

Of course, this small keyboard is really good-looking, and the sound feels a little deeper:

K7, can be understood as the K6SE version: only the brown shaft has a short shaft version. 68 keys + low shaft, it can be said that it is a niche among the niche, really small.

A more comprehensive version, but also a series worth buying.

First of all, it makes up for the embarrassment of K1 without a stand. In addition, there are white light and RGB versions, and the SKU is relatively complete. The tea switch also adds a version of the optical switch, and the 87-key arrangement is also a common arrangement, which is worth buying:

K8 era series, as mentioned earlier, this series is extremely cost-effective, and has its own characteristics in appearance, PBT keycaps, aluminum alloy frame, all hot-swappable + mute cotton, but the price has not increased much. The feel of the phantom axis is quite well tuned.

The light transmittance of PBT material is worse than that of ABS, so the effect of RGB will not be so obvious.

The aluminum alloy frame is matched with a very advanced low-saturation color scheme, which is very textured.

It is the 104-key version with kickstand, which belongs to the enhanced version of K1. There are RGB and white light versions, and two versions with brown and red switches.

The difference from K1 is that K1 does not have a foot support, while K10 does, and other parameters are basically the same.

To be honest, the design style of Jingzao looks old-fashioned in the 104 series, especially the version without RGB, which looks very ordinary:

After adding RGB, it will be better, but it is still nothing special. I personally think that the keyboard is too big, the texture of the metal frame cannot be reflected, and it is not as radical as the short switch, which is caused by the fact that it is closer to an ordinary keyboard.

If you need a small keyboard, this one is still worth considering. It’s not ugly, it’s just mediocre:

In addition to the above keyboards, Jingzao also launched a new Q series, which is a purely customized keyboard with an all-aluminum body.

The above is all the content of this article~ I hope it can really help you choose a keyboard!

It’s not easy for Xiaobai to generate electricity~ If you see this, I hope you can get a triple company. In addition, if you have any questions, you can leave me a message, and I will try my best to answer~Thank you!

Usually, the landlord’s keyboards are basically arranged with less than 87 keys. This type of key arrangement is very practical for playing games, but the lack of number keys makes it a bit cramped in some office scenarios.

Thanks for watching, over...

As a host, but also a digital enthusiast, and a self-media person, the computer must be used most often, not only to have a good computer, but also to have a keyboard that suits you, because the keyboard It is the most important tool, and the appearance of the keyboard must also be high, because in this case, every time you see the keyboard, you will feel very happy. Under the recommendation of a friend, I bought the Dareu a98 a few days ago. The 3-mode mechanical keyboard will briefly share with you the experience of using it.

First of all, I prefer the color of the buttons. Dareu has put a lot of thought into the color of the buttons. The large keys are made of crystal clear blue, which looks clean and refreshing, and the small keys are clear and clear. The switch body is equipped with the Sky Switch V3, and with the transparent keycap scheme, the feeling of the Sky Keyboard is overwhelming, which is really romantic. Don't worry about the stability of the keyboard, because there are soft rubber pads and brackets at the bottom of the keyboard, which are not only easy to slip off, but also the ergonomic design makes it more suitable for our hand and use experience, not only for office work, but also for playing games Also very comfortable.

At the same time, Dareu A98 series three-mode mechanical keyboard has a variety of color matching and switch body matching, including sunset afterglow-paragraph firefly switch, water-permeable version-sky switch V3, like water-linear dream switch, like water-paragraph firefly Axis, Sunset Afterglow-Linear Dream Axis, and Time White-BOX White Axis V2 are available in six combinations. The choice space is still quite large, and every color is very beautiful, so there are many more choices.

The A98 water-permeable version of the three-mode mechanical keyboard key arrangement scheme is to continue to use the existing A98 arrangement scheme: the direction key area, the input area, the number area, and other function keys. Overall, the feel and function of using it are all available.

The full-color RGB lighting effects of the keyboard are built-in, giving him a dreamy feeling. And the brightness of the light is also very moderate, not dazzling, very soft, and a variety of lights can be switched, the transparent keycap further improves the light transmission, the dynamic lighting effect is smooth and natural, the color is rich and gorgeous, very cool, especially for playing games Creating an atmosphere is a must. The fence-type Gasket structure produced by Dareu is used as the internal structure, so it is smooth and noise-free to use. The feedback force of the keyboard is appropriate, and the rebound stroke is moderate. I usually use it for office work, and it is also very good for playing games occasionally. The experience is very good.

In addition, this Dareu A98 water-permeable three-mode mechanical keyboard also adopts the popular PC transparent keycap, which is not only fashionable, but also has a transparent feeling inside, with an indescribable "ice feeling" charm. And equipped with the mainstream Gasket structure and three-mode hot-swap solution of the A98 series, I really like it

In addition, many users must be concerned about what to do if my desktop is too small and I can’t fit it, then you don’t have to worry at all. The Dareu A98 water-permeable three-mode mechanical keyboard has a compact and empty body, which is also very friendly to users with small desktops. The keyboard body is white, the front of the keycap is frosted and transparent, which is not easy to leave fingerprints, and the side is highly transparent. The overall feeling is that you are in the sky, and it is like the shore of Lake Baikal in the winter blue ice season. The beauty comes as promised. Under the right frame of the keyboard, there is also a storage slot for the wireless adapter, which is convenient and quick to store the receiver, so you don’t have to worry about losing it.

In addition, in order to facilitate our use in different scenarios. For example, the student party at school, or the white-collar workers at work, the A98 water-permeable three-mode mechanical keyboard key provides three connection modes: wired, wireless 2.4G and Bluetooth, and the sky axis V3, light pressure linear feel, fence-type axis with transparent The optical bridge shaft cover has good hand feeling stability and light transmission effect. The keyboard is designed to make the hand feel more stable and not shake. It also specially adopts Dareu's new tuning satellite axis.

There are four indicator lights on the left side of the digital area. From top to bottom, they are the status of the numeric keypad, upper and lower case, wireless connection status, and power status, which are quite easy to identify. The three-mode switch on the left is clearly visible, and it is also very convenient to switch quickly. In this way, it is very convenient to use Word documents or PPT production when working.

If you also want to buy a keyboard that suits you, and have certain requirements for the appearance of the keyboard, then this keyboard must be your best choice. This keyboard has a brand new transparent keycap and rgb lighting effect. The appearance of this keyboard is simply beyond the table. When you use it to play games, you will definitely become the brightest in the entire company. Moreover, the sky axis v3 and the mass-produced fence-style Gasket structure also make it feel very good. Personally, After using it for a while, I think this keyboard is really good, and I recommend it to everyone
