If there are players who are looking for a small-size dual-mode wireless mechanical keyboard in the near future, you may wish to pay attention

In the past two years, mechanical keyboards have become more and more popular among college students and office workers; since the small layout keyboard occupies only 60% of the desktop space of traditional keyboards, it optimizes the desktop space and increases the appearance and cleanliness of the desktop, so small The attention of multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboards is getting higher and higher. Among the small mechanical keyboards, the villagers love the 84 layout, and 60% of the keyboard length integrates all the keys we need to use every day.

So what are the good choices for entry-level 84-arranged three-mode wireless mechanical keyboards? The villagers chose the new product recently launched by Rapoo - V700-8A multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboard. Why choose it? 84 configuration, three-mode connection, 225-hour battery life, two-color keycaps, multi-mode backlight, and full-key programmable are all very practical functions. Let’s unbox and experience it with everyone.

The packaging texture of the Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboard is good. The packaging style is the familiar Rapoo style, blue and black, with the rendering of the keyboard in the middle, which allows us to see the whole picture of the keyboard at a glance. Quickly distinguish the selected keyboard color, after all, it is very important to play with the color matching of mechanical keyboard keycaps.

White characters with blue background is also the consistent packaging design style of Rapoo brand, which is clean and neat.

Family portrait: keyboard body, Type-C data cable, 2.4G wireless receiver, key puller and instruction manual; there is no dust cover in the package, which is a bit regrettable.

The Rapoo V700-8A keyboard has three official colors: Lonely Brave, Mecha Purple and No Man's Land. The villagers chose their favorite no-man's land, which is not too ostentatious and not suitable for refinement, and is very suitable for use in the office. Mecha purple may be more suitable for girls or for home use.

84 layout design, the overall size is only 310×120×35.5mm, only 60% of the volume of the traditional 104 keyboard, which greatly saves the limited desktop space in daily use.

The frame of the Rapoo V700-8A keyboard is made of aluminum alloy, with CNC trimming + sandblasting and oxidation process, and the design of floating keys, which makes the overall keyboard a little industrial style. It looks full of texture and feels smooth to the touch. .

This V-shaped logo is the exclusive logo of Rapoo V series products, which is more refined against the metal frame of Rapoo V700-8A. In addition, this logo light can be set or turned off.

The Type-C charging port of the keyboard is located on the left side of the aluminum alloy frame, but it is a pity that the whole body of the keyboard is not set to the storage port of the 2.4G receiver. I hope it can be added in the future.

The switch of the keyboard is set on the back of the keyboard, built-in 4000mAh capacity lithium battery, the longest battery life can reach 225 hours on a single charge, and the backlight can basically meet the working conditions of monthly charging. The four corners of the back are equipped with silicone non-slip feet and tripods, and the measured anti-slip effect is very good.

Three-mode multi-connection, one-key multi-purpose. In terms of connection, Rapoo V700-8A supports three connection modes: Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless and wired, and supports quick switching of 5 devices. FN+ number 1, 2, 3 switches Bluetooth mode, FN+ number 4 switches 2.4G wireless mode, The number 5 switches the wired mode; and in the wired mode, the 84-key full-key has no conflict, and the six-key has no conflict in the wireless mode, which can be used for office work and game.

The keycaps use the OEM height, and the gradient under standard conditions is slightly higher than the original factory height, so the two-stage foot support can also meet the usage habits of most people.

The keycap is made of two-color ABS injection molding process. The printing level of the characters is very good, the handwriting is clear, the thickness of the key wall is medium, and the burrs on the edge are not obvious except for the nozzle.

The large keys of the keyboard are designed with satellite shafts, and it is very convenient to remove and assemble the keycaps during daily cleaning. The satellite axis is adjusted fairly compactly, the handle is not fleshy, and the rebound is relatively strong.

The Rapoo V700-8A keyboard provides four Rapoo autonomous axis versions: black, red, tea, and green. The villagers have the Rapoo autonomous red axis version, with a linear axis body, a trigger stroke of 2.0±0.6mm, and a trigger of 45±15cN. The pressure and parameters are similar to Cherry red switches.

In actual use, the feel is slightly softer than Cherry Red, the sound is a little lower, the big keys are well tuned, not so fleshy, and the rebound is more powerful.

In terms of backlight, the keyboard uses a monochrome white backlight, with ABS light-transmitting keycaps, the brightness and uniformity are not bad. However, the villagers believe that since the ABS keycap is standard, it will have better performance with RGB backlight.

Compared with other keyboard drivers before, the driver of Rapoo V700-8A has a good model, the driver interface is simple and clean, and supports account login, cloud synchronization and other interactive functions. The keyboard supports full-key custom programming, and various key combinations, macro functions, and shortcut key functions can be directly edited. Villagers like to use F1 and F2 as custom buttons for copying and pasting. F3 is the button for PS to call up the Camera Raw plug-in. If you feel used to it, you can also try it.

In terms of lighting settings, the brightness of the light can be adjusted in 3 levels, and the speed of the light can be adjusted in 4 levels; on the right is the lighting mode, including constant light, breathing, curve, starry, single light, ripple and custom modes, and the Rapoo logo The light can also be set to three states: steady on, breathing and off.

After getting used to using the small array keyboard, you will find that life can be simpler!

Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboard has exquisite and stylish appearance, CNC metal frame, multi-color keycaps, three-mode connection, full-key custom programming, stable large-key adjustment, and small 84 column size are very attractive to villagers. Advantages: Rapoo's independent red switch feels very good, soft and quiet, suitable for use in university dormitories and offices.

Of course, the three-mode keyboard priced at 299 still has some shortcomings. For example, there is no storage hole for the 2.4G wireless receiver, and the backlight is monochromatic, which limits playability. But generally speaking, more than 200 multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboards have this performance, and the price/performance ratio is really high!

I believe that most people are like me. After getting used to the mechanical keyboard, it is difficult to accept the keyboard that comes with the notebook, so I recently considered to equip my notebook with a smaller and more portable mechanical keyboard. So, I focused on this Rapoo V700-8A, which is a compact mechanical keyboard with 75% configuration, and also supports three-mode wireless connection. The key is that the price is less than 300, let’s start!

In fact, I have been in contact with the Rapoo brand many years ago. It is indeed a major peripheral manufacturer. Now, Rapoo is also targeting the needs of us desk lovers. Like this V700-8A, it is small, beautiful, and cost-effective. Also high. How was the experience? I will give you a try first.

"unpacking"

It is a compact keyboard itself, so its entire packaging box is also relatively small. This time I chose the color of "No Man's Land". There are many highlights and functions about this keyboard on the box. It is worth noting that such a one-hundred-yuan multi-mode wireless keyboard actually has a backlight.

After opening, you can see that there are not many accessories, but there are all that should be there, except for the main body of the keyboard. It also includes a C-port cable with a length of about 1.5 meters, a 2.4G receiver and a key puller. That's right, its receiver is not hidden inside the keyboard, maybe the design is too compact and there is no place to put it? Therefore, if you use it normally, you should pay attention to put away the receiver to avoid the embarrassment of not finding it.

" Exterior "

There are quite a lot of color schemes officially launched by this keyboard. I personally chose a relatively low-key no-man’s land. In fact, it is mainly gray and white, which belongs to the middle color scheme and can match with most desktops. The surrounding keycaps are dark-colored, while the middle area is light-colored, so the overall look and feel will not look dull. And it matches the color of my laptop too.

Although the overall size of the keyboard does not look large, it still feels quite heavy in the hand, with a weight of 787 grams. The most important reason is that the shell is made of aluminum alloy, so the texture is very prominent. The corners also use CNC grinding process, combined with sandblasting oxidation process, no matter it looks or feels, you can feel the texture.

The back panel of the keyboard is made of plastic material, and there are large non-slip pads at the four corners, which can basically be "stable like an old dog" on any desktop. The power switch is also hidden on the back, and two feet are added at the same time. Although it is not made into a multi-stage type, its height is moderate, so it can still provide a comfortable keyboard posture after opening.

"Connection use"

As a multi-mode wireless keyboard, the more connection methods, the better. In addition to wired connection and 2.4GHz connection, this keyboard can also be connected via Bluetooth, and Bluetooth is divided into Bluetooth 5.0 and 3.0, so in total There are four connection modes. Five devices can be connected at the same time, including three Bluetooth devices. If you switch, you only need to use Fn+ shortcut keys to switch.

When connecting to my laptop, I have been using Bluetooth connection for a long time, and the stability is still very good. At least I have not encountered disconnection so far, and the response speed is fast enough, with almost no perceivable delay. If you want to use this keyboard to play games, it is recommended to choose 2.4GHz or wired connection (it is worth mentioning that under wired connection, all 84 keys can be achieved without conflict, and under wireless connection mode, 6 key conflict).

As mentioned earlier, I chose the green axis this time. Personally, I have always preferred the switch with a sense of paragraph. I used to use the brown switch before, but recently I wanted to improve the feel, so I chose the crisp green switch. This time, Rapoo adopted Rapoo's own mechanical shaft, and the single shaft has a service life of more than 60 million times. In terms of feel, this green switch is really crisp and refreshing, and the trigger pressure is slightly higher than that of the brown switch. I think typing or playing games is very exciting.

Like most of the current mechanical keyboards, it also has a lot of shortcut functions, such as multimedia playback volume adjustment, etc., are all readily available. Of course, the most interesting thing is that all 84 keys are programmable. You only need to download the supporting driver software on the computer, you can achieve rich custom operations, and the driver can also set lighting effects, edit macros, and so on. Therefore, even for friends who have hard requirements for custom functions, this keyboard can meet the needs.

In terms of light effects, although this keyboard only has a single-color backlight, it can be regarded as a flower. There are a variety of lighting effect modes built in. You can take a look at the animation. I have captured two effects. The brightness of the light can also be adjusted manually, which is quite interesting with the customization of the driver.

As for the battery life, I am actually more concerned about it. After all, no one wants to use it for a few days and have to charge it, so the meaning of wireless is greatly reduced. The keyboard has a built-in 4,000mAh battery, which feels bigger than many full-size keyboard batteries. It can bring 225 hours of battery life. If it is used for five hours a day, it will only need to be charged once in about two months. Of course, if the brightness of the light is adjusted to the highest level, and the light effect is always on, it can also achieve 25 hours of battery life, basically charging once a week. I think this result is very satisfactory. If you care about battery life, just turn off the backlight or lower the brightness of the backlight.

" Summarize "

Among the current compact and small-sized three-mode wireless mechanical keyboards, the Rapoo V700-8A is definitely very competitive, the price/performance ratio is really high, and there are almost no shortcomings. The backlight and rich custom functions are also a big plus. Pennefather's own mechanical switches are also reliable. The green switch in your hand feels really crisp and neat. I think it is worth recommending.

The last keyboard was the Cooler 87 Cherry Blue bought in 2015. It has been in service until recently, and finally retired because of the failure of the keys. Then I looked at the current keyboard circle, only to find that it is very different from the old days. The big f cool that I used to talk about I can't see any of the cold magic duck ikbc, and they are replaced by various domestic keyboards and domestic switches. And the price is much cheaper. At that time, Cooler bought more than 500. Now there are many cost-effective options for 100-yuan keyboards. I also bought a few 100-yuan keyboards during this period. You can compare them horizontally:

The first is the RK R87 green switch. Due to the habit of using it in the past few years, I subconsciously chose the green switch when I bought the keyboard again. The keyboard has been used for many years and the commonly used keys have become fleshy), the big key is a little bit stretchy but fortunately it supports hot swapping, and the cavity sound disappears after replacing the box white switch. The total cost of the keyboard + big key switch is still 100 Within 1 yuan, if you replace the original old keyboard, there is no problem at all, but because I re-focused on the key ring, I saw a lot of videos of listening to typing sounds, so I wanted to try changing the linear axis, so I got the next wolf Way GK85-Golden Axis

This keyboard and the switch body have weak feedback when pressed, and the sound is relatively empty. You can watch the video for reference. , priced at 89, but a week after I bought it, there was a problem with the Z key. There was a malfunction and double-clicking, so I decisively carried out after-sales service. JD.com directly took the new keyboard to me to replace it the next day. Say something. But I don’t want to use it anymore. I went back to Taobao and took a look. The vgn is still on pre-sale. I thought I’d just wait. I’d like to wait for Cooler for another month and then change to vgn. So I made a deposit on the 9th and paid the balance the next day. I didn’t expect it to be on the 14th. Just received it, which was a surprise. I don’t know if it has something to do with the version or the time to pay the final payment. When I paid the final payment, it was 7:00 p.m. on the 10th, and I paid immediately. The version is the 129 power silver shaft. The phantom version of the keycap bought by Yuyu, the typing sound is directly listed below

The feel and hearing feel are nothing to say, I really like it, and it is painless to change from the eight-year-old axis to the linear axis. The performance of the sound and the big keys is also much better than that of the wolf road, of course, the price is also a bit more expensive. The total price of this 129 version of power silver and the replacement of the keycap has reached 150+, but the price/performance ratio is still very good, anyway. Compared with the previous coolness of more than 500, it is really a blast. Of course, I’m not sure whether this keyboard can last for eight years like the original Cooler. During this period of time, I read posts and videos related to key rings and saw many remarks and examples of poor quality control of domestic keyboards, but this kind Things take time to accumulate and get better slowly. At this price, I am willing to give them a chance to try and make mistakes. In short, I am very happy to see the current situation where domestic keyboard roll kings are everywhere. I hope they can continue to maintain it so that everyone can use affordable products.
