Are All Mechanical Keyboards Hot Swappable: Things You May Want to Know

Foreword: The mechanical keyboard from 618 is here! In 2021-2022, when mechanical keyboards are crazy and involuntary, there is a word that is very hot, and that is the "Gasket" structure. Since domestic manufacturers began to mass-produce customization, Uncle V felt that customization was no longer out of reach for ordinary users. Although it was promoted as a hot spot, it was still good from the actual experience. The main reason is that the keyboard is one of the main accessories of the PC. Whether it is used for work, study, or games, it is a very important tool! Choosing the right keyboard can bring excellent feel and a more pleasant mood. The first Heijue keyboard used by Uncle V is K620T. As a keyboard with interchangeable switches and RGB lighting effects, it left a deep impression in terms of appearance and playability. Nowadays, customized keyboards have also become one of the must-have choices, and the brand of Heijue has become a reliable reference object. Sometimes the interest is very magical. Although I have come into contact with many mechanical keyboard brands, I have a soft spot for the Heijue brand. The customized three-mode mechanical keyboard I bought recently is the Heijue AK966. Expectantly. 96 keys is one of its highlights. Heijue AK966 is a three-mode mechanical keyboard with a Gasket structure. It has been paid attention to since the brand warmed up. It is understood that it is also the latest work of Heijue to hit high-end products. Next, let’s learn with Uncle V, what’s so special about this customized keyboard? From the time I got the package, I feel that the value for money is excellent. Compared with the previous packaging, it is more sincere and thoughtful, and it is textured and thick! The transparent design is used in the middle, so that people can see the real keyboard at a glance. Although only a part can be seen, it is also irresistible to surprise! After unpacking, you can see that the keyboard and accessories are arranged very neatly, and the process of unpacking is also full of ritual. You can see that Heijue has put great effort into this aspect. Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard accessories are also very rich. In addition to the main body of the keyboard, there are also data cables, shaft puller and keycap device, Kaihua's new shaft tester, 4 Mac supplementary keycaps (including Control 2, Option 1, Common 1); In addition, it also comes with a keyboard dust cover and a replaceable volume knob. It also has three colors to choose from: Senyu-yellow-green-white, Mengxia-pink-blue-white, Starry Night-yellow-gray-white. Because of the small fresh color of Senyu I bought, I like it very much. Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard adopts customized popular Gasket gasket structure, such as PC positioning board, PORON material sandwich cotton, bottom cotton, shaft under pad, factory lubricated satellite shaft, etc. It has it all, and these are only customized There are. The popular 98-column layout has 96 keys + metal volume knob. Its size is: 387.5*136.8*41.5mm, and its weight is: 1027g, which is quite heavy. It also supports 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects, and can also customize the color. There is also a music rhythm function that the lights can change with the rhythm of the music. You can also change the shaft freely, and the playability is very good. In terms of details, the Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard is also handled very carefully. For example, the data cable adopts the currently popular Type-c interface, and it is a hidden socket. There is also a 2.4G receiver, which is placed in a hidden space on the right side of the keyboard, and it will not affect it when it is not in use. In addition to being beautiful, it can also prevent loss! Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard adopts MDA height keycaps processed by PBT sublimation, which can obviously feel more comfortable when typing, and is more rounded visually. The characters and icons are very delicate, and they are integrated with the round keycaps, making the overall look more attractive. Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard also adopts a two-stage foot support. The height of this ergonomic design can be adjusted at will to meet the usage habits of different groups of people and bring different typing comfort. On the left is a three-mode switch, which is much more convenient in the actual experience. You can switch the desired connection mode by gently pushing it, that is, Bluetooth 5.0, wireless 2.4G and wired connection. You can see four in the number key area on the right. The status lights can respectively indicate the corresponding connection mode, which is clear at a glance! From the actual experience, the stability and connection speed of wireless 2.4G are quite good, and the Bluetooth mode can support three-device switching, which is a very practical function for users with more devices! Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard supports full-key hot-swappable. It is equipped with Kaihua MX CREAM ice cream shaft, which is made of POM material and has self-lubricating properties. The more you use it, the smoother it is. As a keyboard with customized positioning, it supports full-key Hot-swappable, can meet the replacement of any shaft body. In fact, Heijue AK966 is the first mass-produced keyboard equipped with the star switch of MX Ice Cream. In order to experience the fun of switching switches, it also comes with four new switches of Kaihua. Without further ado, let’s start directly. Change the shaft! Because the shaft body can be disassembled, it can be disassembled and installed by using the built-in shaft puller. The advantage of this "hot swap" is that the shaft body can be replaced anytime and anywhere, and it is compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts. In addition, there is no need to worry about the power-on status of the keyboard, you can change the switch according to your personal usage habits, and truly feel the fun of DIY switch. Although the Kaihua MX ice cream switch is also very hand-feeling, but I personally use the arrow keys more in the game experience, so I directly replaced the arrow keys! Because the keyboard uses the Gasket gasket structure design as a whole, coupled with the excellent shaft body, you can get a better typing and gaming experience! Especially the touch and feedback when the finger presses the keycap is very refreshing, and it is so comfortable to use it to code! I bought Heijue's new AK966 mechanical keyboard again. It is very eye-catching in appearance, and the hardware configuration is also full of sincerity. It has everything that should be available for a customized product. Ordinary users can enjoy the excellent feel brought by the Gasket structure + three Poron noise reduction design without spending more waiting time, as well as the comfortable touch brought by the domestic Kaihua MX ice cream switch and PBT sublimation keycaps. In addition, The built-in 10000mAh lithium battery brings surprises for portable use, whether it is Bluetooth or wireless mode, the battery life is longer. For such a 98 series mechanical keyboard, what else do you want to know? Discussion and attention are welcome.

In the hot summer, wouldn't it be nice to be obedient and turn on the air conditioner at home more often. I want to tinker with new toys in my spare time, especially retro-style ornaments. I tend to have a high tolerance for price comparisons for high-value ornaments that I like, such as the TWEMCO page-turning clock (AL30) that I just bought. Don't look at this thing as expensive, but this one has soared from four to five hundred to one thousand yuan, so if you throw it in the seafood market, you will make a fortune. It seems that appearance is really the primary productive force at the moment! When it comes to appearance and productivity, I have to mention that recently I have finally collected the third color scheme of Durga Fusion. So far, I still think that Fusion has a C-level appearance among retro keyboards, and it is still a mass-produced keyboard, and the price is really not expensive. The current mechanical keyboard is no longer the era of original factory barriers and high prices and few products. If you want a hundred yuan cheaper, you can get a good real mechanical keyboard. Looking at the other end of the poles, the rise of customized keyboards has allowed the price of XX limited keycaps to rise casually, and even the aviation plug-in cable has reached an unprecedented level of attention. Look at the mass-produced keyboard at this time, even if it is a high-value decoration, isn’t TA delicious? Since the release of Fusion, Durga has finally added skill points where they should be added. The three have their own characteristics: NAVIGATOR nautical blue, the blue is calm, not greasy but still eye-catching. The color of the keycaps is not white, but is closer to the color matching of the ORIGINAL retro white, leaving the retro feeling of the post-80s video game consoles, and the fashionable styles of the two are different. In contrast, the steam gray of STEAM escapes the retro feeling of milky yellow and white, and the three red buttons are very eye-catching. It feels more beautiful in the hand than the picture, very fresh and refined. Since there is no opening in the fuselage, the storage of the 2.4G adapter is ingeniously integrated under the magnetic LOGO, which has also become the finishing touch of Fusion. The LOGO nameplate is worth playing with, but it should be noted that the wear resistance of the LOGO itself is definitely not as strong as metal. For the sake of appearance, it is best to pay attention to it in daily use. After all, retro products have made compromises in terms of ergonomics. Like Cherry 3494, the beauty of retro requires a certain compromise (habit) in usage habits. The first gear of the Fusion has nothing to do with the angle. The main reason is that the front part is too high. For long-term use, it is best to add a keyboard and hand rest as a support. The overall weight of the keyboard is 620 grams, plus 68 keys, which not only ensures the practicality, but also takes into account the use when going out. Fusion has a three-mode function, and two Bluetooth channels should be more than enough for mobile devices. 2.4G is reserved for desktop computers at home to play games, and switching is also very convenient. As for the wired mode, such a retro keyboard must be equipped with a maverick aviation plug. Anyway, I advise you to keep the original one in the box. At this stage, domestic shafts are indeed of very good quality in the crazy involution. Of course, good products are still not cheap, and better shafts can easily reach the level of 3-5 yuan per piece. Durga remains unchanged to respond to all changes. Since Fusion was released, there are still three color schemes and five shafts. The pricing has basically remained the same, which is really good for old users. Perhaps this kind of stability is another element of Durga's success? 市面上原厂轴的选择是越来越少，既然是复古，那Cherry原厂轴确实是一个很稳的选择。Fusion提供了青、红、茶、银、静音红这五种，参数方面相信大家已经了然于心了，我用银轴给Fusion三配色划伤了圆满的句号。杜伽在各个方面都做得很稳，包括大键卫星轴的提前预润、铝制定位板的韧性，整体看似不出彩，哪哪都不缺，很有退烧键盘的风格走向。看看现在杜伽刚出的K610w&K620w也已经开始走热插拔、客制化路线了，看来他们自己也将Fusion定义为原厂轴的终章。 As mentioned earlier, the polarization of mechanical keyboards is also caused by the acceleration of involution. With the concept of rice circles, there will inevitably be criticisms when you don't like it: why is it not hot-swapping! (The question is how many people often change the shaft?), the Gasket structure is yyds, and the others are blah blah. I still say the same thing, real gold only buys what I want, there is a way to play with ten thousand yuan, and there is also the dignity of a hundred yuan. There are hundreds of thousands of figurines, even if I buy a keyboard that can be used as a decoration, it is not too much.

The price of branded keyboards is generally relatively high, especially for mechanical keyboards for games, the price is even more prohibitive. And just recently, I experienced a new product-Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost S510N mechanical gaming keyboard, which made me change this inherent view. Shuangfeiyan bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical gaming keyboard directly lowers the price to no more than 200 yuan, so that it has a certain cost performance and conforms to the rational consumption concept of good but not expensive. After all, when there is not much difference in product technology between brands, the price/performance ratio determines the advantage. The mechanical gaming keyboard is available in green switches, red switches and brown switches. The green switch has stronger feedback and is suitable for gamers, allowing gamers to move and move without feeling the existence of delay at all when playing games; the red switch and brown switch are quieter, and the smart "Full Anti-Ghost" full-key no Rush technology allows you to output commands according to various skills in all games, and respond accurately and quickly. Shuangfeiyan bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical gaming keyboard adopts BLMS customized shaft body, which not only has a life span of 50 million times, but also has a response speed of 1ms after professional repeated adjustments to the trigger key travel and pressure grams. Bring us unusual game speed and feel experience. The transmission response of the USB full-speed 1000Hz is more than 8 times faster than that of ordinary keyboards. No matter how fast the hand speed is or how complicated the multi-key commands are, the screen can also achieve feedback without delay and without stuttering, achieving the effect of controlling the enemy. ! The iridescent backlight covering the entire 108 keyboard supports multiple modes, which can be switched through the Fn+F12 key combination, and can also be used to set the lighting effects, including macro settings in There are multiple operations in the game, and special button settings are made for different games. Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost S510N mechanical gaming keyboard can also be used as a daily code keyboard in addition to games; it is worth mentioning that the large keys such as space and enter are equipped with satellite balance shafts, and the travel of the keys is stable when pressed , without frustration. In the test of shooting games, when pressing multiple keys and space at the same time, there is no signal delay or conflict in the game control. Even if players are faced with a more complex game environment, they can calmly deal with it, without worrying about pushing the buttons, which will affect the game experience. As a mechanical keyboard in the early 100s, the Shuangfeiyan Bloody Hand Ghost S510N mechanical gaming keyboard adopts a ladder-like design and is ergonomically designed. Even if you play games and operate the keyboard for a long time, there will be no wrist discomfort.

? I recently bought a tea switch mechanical keyboard made by Jingdong, it is really delicious! ? First of all, as a code word maniac, I am very concerned about the feel of the keyboard and the sound of typing. I heard many friends recommend the tea shaft made in Beijing, so I placed an order decisively. The tea switch is different from ordinary mechanical keyboards. It adopts an independently developed film-type trigger structure. The key stroke is shorter, and the hand feels more sensitive and fast when typing. And most importantly, its typing sound is very crisp and pleasant, which can give me a pleasant psychological reaction. Whenever I type fast on the keyboard, the sense of rhythm and touch is really unparalleled. In terms of appearance, this keyboard adopts a full metal frame design, which is very stable. The keycap is made of PBT material, which is smooth to the touch, wear-resistant and oil-resistant, and is also equipped with RGB backlight, which is colorful and very suitable for night use In short, this tea switch mechanical keyboard made by Jingdong is really a product with excellent value for money! Not only does it look great, the keys feel comfortable, and the customer service is excellent. If you are also looking for an excellent mechanical keyboard, you may wish to consider the brown switch keyboard made by Beijing! ? As an excellent product, the brown switch mechanical keyboard made by Jingdong has excellent performance in terms of feel, sound and appearance. The tea switch adopts an independently developed thin-film trigger structure, the key stroke is short, the touch is sensitive and fast, and the typing sound is crisp and pleasant. These features make typing with it full of immersion. At the same time, the all-metal frame design and PBT keycap material provide it with excellent stability and service life, and the RGB backlight also makes the keyboard more convenient to use at night. In short, if you also need a high-performance mechanical keyboard, the brown switch mechanical keyboard made by Jingdong is a choice worth considering.

In order to pursue the feel, another keyboard... Buying a keyboard is really poisonous! Obviously I already have a new keyboard, but I still can’t help but buy it when I see a good-looking one Bought this not long ago ... Now, I got another pair. The model of this pair of keyboards is RK R98, which is a customized mechanical keyboard, and it is said that it comes with a voice actor at the factory. There are five colors of this keyboard. I chose the most atmospheric and attractive [Fire Blue], which is matched with TTC steel switches. Although the model is R98, this keyboard is actually a 99-key arrangement. The keyboard is made of solid materials and has a unique design. The main color of the keyboard is white, with the original red and blue color matching PBT keycaps, and the RGB mixed light effect, which makes the overall keyboard look very impressive. The compact design makes it shorter and smaller than the ordinary keyboard, leaving more space for the mouse to operate on the desktop This pair of R98 is a three-mode keyboard, which can be adjusted through the toggle switch in the upper left corner. There is an adapter on the side, magnetic, not easy to lose In terms of configuration, this pair of keyboards adopts the "true soft elastic" Gasket structure, which fits the slotting method of high-end customized positioning boards. It adopts PCB single-key 1.2mm slotting, which is comparable to the thousand-yuan-level process preparation. The design of one axis and one slot is better optimized and consistent. At the same time, it can also guarantee some soft springs. The horizontal groove design of the PC positioning board solves the impact caused by the depression when pressing the keys, improves the stability of the surrounding keys, and optimizes the input experience. But I tried it. When you press a certain key hard, the keys around the key will also be concave, indicating that there is still room for improvement in this optimization. My choice of steel shaft When I knew it supported hot-swapping, I immediately pulled out the key shaft Custom poron cotton + sandwich + ixpe shaft pad + bottom cotton + bottom silicone, constitute its sound package. Such a multi-level design can not only effectively fill the gaps inside the keyboard, eliminate most of the cavity sound, but also make the key sounds more pleasant. The feel of this shaft body is a bit similar to the red shaft I used before, but this is not a red shaft, but a TTC steel shaft with a "true soft elastic" structure, which is actually a leaf spring Gasket structure with an extended silicone pad , so as to better optimize the rebound and stability during use, making the hand feel softer Many value friends are concerned about whether it is the mahjong sound. To be honest, I don’t know if it counts. Anyway, the sound of da la da la is very pleasant. It is very light and comfortable to type. It will not be tired at all. This kind of enjoyment, I almost fell in love with this feeling. Don't let the leader know, otherwise he will let you stay and work overtime today R98 has several key switches to choose from, each of which has its own characteristics. No matter how picky you are, I believe you will find a suitable one. All of its keycaps and key shafts are hot-swappable. From then on, it is no longer necessary to disassemble the entire keyboard and restart the computer to replace individual key switches. It is so easy to customize it! And the settings that can be freely matched also create more ways to play for friends who like DIY. The key switch can be changed at will, allowing players to experience the fun of customization~ Finally, let's talk about its lighting. The difference between this keyboard and other keyboards is that in addition to the built-in key backlight, it also has RGB side lights, coupled with the new light strips on the left and right sides, the flashing method can be freely programmed, creating a cool The unique sense of game atmosphere adds fun to your operating experience. In addition, the battery capacity of the R98 is an astonishing 7200mah, which can be twice that of a general mechanical keyboard. It is not difficult to imagine that the battery life of the R98 will also be super strong. Calculated according to the 3750mah battery of my last keyboard, if it loses 7% of the power in one day, it can work for almost 15 days when the 3750mah is fully charged, so this 7200mah is absolutely no problem for a month. The bottom tripod of the R98 can be adjusted in multiple gears to help you find the most suitable angle; there are also long strips of non-slip pads at the four corners of the bottom to make it more stable and not slippery when you are using it. The one at the bottom is the date of manufacture, it was manufactured in April 2023, and it is indeed very new This RK R98 is a three-mode mechanical keyboard with TTC steel switches, hot-swappable support, multi-mode adjustable backlight and RGB sidelight, smooth typing, pleasant sound, 7200mah super battery life. Although there is a little shortcoming, but the flaws do not hide the virtues. Such a keyboard sells for 399, I seem to feel that I have made money again Well, that's all for today. Friends, please follow me if you like it! After paying attention, we will become friends. In the future, any revelations, postings, and articles I post can be read, rewarded, and liked. You are welcome~
