For players who like DIY hardware, I believe they are already familiar with RGB lighting effects. However, now RGB lighting effects not only exist in various hardware products, but also peripherals such as mice and keyboards have begun to join them. In addition to bringing more cool decorative effects, they can also bring a more immersive gaming experience. Recently, I experienced a Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version, which adopts the Symphony RGB dual backlight system, supports 19 preset button lighting effects, and the metal aluminum alloy cover makes the keyboard look more fashionable and textured. What is the actual experience, I will take you to learn more about it below.



In terms of packaging, the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version adopts a simple paper packaging box, with the actual product picture and name printed on the front, and the introduction of the product's features and functions on the back.



Let's see what's in the box In addition to the mechanical keyboard of the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version, there are also instruction manuals and a key puller, which can facilitate users to remove and replace keycaps.



The Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version adopts a wired design, and the length of the cable is about 1.8 meters, which is believed to meet the needs of most users. In fact, compared to Bluetooth connection, I believe that game users will still prefer wired connection, which can make the transmission more stable, respond faster, and bring a better gaming experience.



The Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version adopts a 104-key full-size key design, which can realize full key position conflict-free through USB connection, which can make the keyboard respond more accurately and operate more smoothly. Although it is a full-size keyboard, due to the simple and narrow frame design and the compact keyboard arrangement, the whole machine looks relatively small.



The keycaps of the keyboard adopt a floating arrangement design, in which the surface of each keycap has been frosted and curved to make it more comfortable to press; in addition, the keycaps also use a two-color injection molding process, which not only allows more uniform light transmission, but also It can reduce the fading, blurring and abrasion of characters after long-term use.



There are 3 indicators on the upper right corner of the keyboard, from left to right: uppercase and lowercase indicators, numeric keypad indicator and Windows lock indicator, which can facilitate users to know the current status of the keyboard in real time.



The upper cover of the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version is made of metal aluminum alloy, which is durable and has a more metallic texture; the side edge of the fuselage also adopts CNC metal trimming technology, making the whole machine more refined and tasteful.




Compared with the front of the keyboard, the design of the back of the keyboard is relatively simple. There are 3 non-slip rubber pads near the front edge, 2 brackets at the rear, and a product label in the middle.



There are also two small brackets on the back of the keyboard, which can raise the keyboard to a certain height and bring a more comfortable control experience. It can be seen from the side that the keyboard base adopts a slightly upturned design with a low front and a high rear, coupled with curved keycaps, it is more comfortable and smooth to operate.



The method of using the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version is very simple. Just plug the USB cable of the keyboard into the USB port of the computer. It adopts a 104-key full-size key layout, and the full-keyboard conflict-free design allows users to use it Smoother and more secure. Among them, the buttons also support multimedia shortcut keys, and functions such as multimedia playback, volume adjustment, and song switching can be performed directly through Fn+F1~F12.



Each keycap of the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version can be disassembled, and can be easily removed with a key puller, which not only allows users to freely replace the keycaps as needed, but also facilitates cleaning.



The keys of the keyboard use Rapoo's own infrared silver switch, which feels similar to the green switch, and because of the infrared light blocking method, it not only makes the signal transmission more stable, but also has a waterproof and dustproof effect.



The button feel of the Rapoo V520 RGB Alloy Edition is similar to that of the Green Axis Click, with a strong rebound when pressed, a crisp sound, and a comfortable touch. I personally like this feeling, and it can be easily handled whether it is gaming or work.



Compared with many other mechanical keyboards with RGB lighting effects, the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version adopts the RGB dual backlight system. In addition to the illusion lighting effect under the keys, there is also a strip of RGB backlight strips around the side, which can bring more Cool lighting effects.




The picture above shows the effect of the button lighting effect and the frame backlight strip fully turned on. Isn’t it very cool, especially in a dark environment, the effect is even more impressive, it is full of ritual sense.



The above is the dynamic effect of the backlight strip on the side frame, a variety of color cycle changes, the effect is not bad, can be turned off or turned on individually, but only one change mode is supported, which is a bit regrettable.



You may not be able to feel the coolness through the pictures. Let’s take a look at the animation with the dual light effects fully turned on. Let’s see how it works. Personally, I think it’s too cool. What do you think?



The frame backlight belt of the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version can be turned on or off individually. The picture above shows the effect of turning off the frame backlight, which is slightly lower-key than when the dual lights are fully turned on.



The Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version has preset 19 button lighting effects. In addition to supporting solid color, color, illusion and other different effects of lighting effects, it also supports ripple mode. When the button is tapped, it will form like water ripples , looks fine.



For players who like to play games, the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version also presets 6 game lighting effects including CF, CAR, RTS, NBA, LOL, and COD, which can be quickly called by players as needed. The picture above shows the lighting effect of the LOL game. It can be seen that only the backlights of the buttons commonly used in the game are on, which is more convenient for users to control.



During daily work or games, I usually put a cup of water or coffee next to it, and it is inevitable that liquid will be accidentally spilled, which can easily cause damage to the keyboard. But don’t worry about it now, the Rapoo V520 RGB’s external seams are not only tightly seamed, but the internal PCB is also protected by a nano-waterproof coating, which can be more effective in dustproof and waterproof.



As you can see from the animation above, not to mention the accidental spilling of liquid into the keyboard, I have no problem pouring water directly down, it can still be used normally, and the waterproof effect is still very good. Usually, if the keyboard is dirty, you can wash it directly with water, but of course it is not recommended to wash it with water frequently.



Through the experience of using the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version, the Symphony RGB dual backlight system is my favorite. Through the preset 19 kinds of illusion lighting effects, it can bring more cool gameplay; Infrared silver switch independently developed by Bai, can not only make the signal transmission more stable, but also bring a feel similar to the green switch; coupled with the aluminum alloy cover and nano-waterproof coating design, it can make the keyboard durable and more textured; In addition, the 104-key full-size keyboard design can also take into account games and office work, effectively improving the scope of use of the keyboard. If you are in need of an RGB keyboard, I believe that the Rapoo V520 RGB alloy version should not disappoint you.

Good-looking, good hand feeling, three-mode cool - Dareu A87 Pro three-mode gaming mechanical keyboard


Since code words are often required, the requirements for the feel of the keyboard are relatively high. Although the green switch and the tea switch are my favorite, ordinary mechanical keyboards are easily bound by cables, which can easily affect the cleanliness of the desktop. I want to lie on the seat with my legs up and put the keyboard on my lap on the desktop. When I type comfortably, I find the wires really annoying, so I have always wanted to change to a wireless mechanical keyboard. This time I bought the Dareu A87 Pro three-mode keyboard during the shopping season. The game mechanical keyboard has a youthful and beautiful color scheme, a good percussion feel and wireless refreshing. I like it very much as a whole. Here I would like to share it with you.


one. unpack



The Dareu A87 Pro three-mode gaming mechanical keyboard experienced this time is the sky version of the SKY theme, and the outer packaging is also blue sky, clouds and rainbows.




The overall picture of Dareu A87 Pro keyboard, 87-key standard layout, this sky theme color matching through dark blue, light blue and rainbow enter key makes it look very fresh as a whole, which is my favorite style.




The backspace key of Xingyue and the big space bar of style font are two other unique existences on the keyboard.




Viewed from the side, the gradient design makes the side look less rigid, and the appropriate angle design allows us to get a comfortable typing feel without supporting our feet.




Three-mode switching button, Dareu A87 Pro three-mode gaming mechanical keyboard supports 2.4G, wired and Bluetooth three connection methods, which can be well paired with desktops, notebooks or tablets.




The 2.4G receiver installation position on the right side is more convenient to use than placing it on the bottom.




The back is quite simple, except for the wire groove in the middle, there are two two-stage support feet. The three anti-slip pads on the lower part provide a good grip, and the heavy weight of the keyboard makes it very stable on the desktop.




The Tpye-C interface can be plugged in blindly, which is more convenient for charging or connecting cables.




The matching cable and key puller, Dareu A87 Pro is equipped with a USB cable that is not only long but also relatively thick and soft, with good quality. In addition to pulling out the keycap, the most important thing about the key puller is that it can pull out the shaft body, which is convenient for us to replace different shaft bodies to experience different feel.



two. disassemble



The Dareu A87 Pro three-mode gaming mechanical keyboard sky version in my hand uses the Zijin switch Pro, which is a tea-like paragraph switch customized by Dareu, and there is also a sky V3 linear switch optional.




Zijin Axis Pro uses a yellow fence-style axis core, with a transparent PC case, the appearance is still very good.



In terms of lighting, it is equipped with RGB LED lamp beads, which can show different backlight effects with different flashing programs.




The Dareu A87 Pro three-mode gaming mechanical keyboard supports hot-swappable shafts, and the shaft base supports tripod shafts and pentapod shafts. It almost takes all the interchangeable shafts on the market, so that we can experience different shafts.






A close-up of the Zijin Axis Pro, with a golden shaft core on the purple base, I seem to have glimpsed a little bit of the origin of the name of the Zijin Axis. The fence-style shaft core makes the shaft body more stable, and the shaft core shakes less, and the high-density gold-plated spring brings a better trigger feel.



The keycaps are high-purity PBT two-color keycaps, the surface is frosted, and the texture and feel are very good.




The upper and lower layers of the keyboard are fixed with buckles, and it is very convenient to disassemble.



Dareu A87 Pro adopts an upgraded fence-type GASKET structure. We can see that there is a thick fence interlayer silicone filling between the keyboard shell and the PCB, which perfectly solves the vibration problem between the shell and the PCB.





The fence-type high-toughness sound-absorbing silicone pad wraps around each shaft body, and the 3.5mm-thick silicone brings a good sound-absorbing effect.




The black PCB still looks classy, ​​and the neat and beautiful welders look pleasing to the eye.




2.4G wireless module and antenna.




The Bluetooth module controlled by CYW20730.




The thick silicone pad under the PCB, together with the interlayer silicone, forms an upgraded version of the fence-style GASKET structure.




底板显得非常简洁，电池部分被安放在了盖板下面，从而带来了良好的视觉观感。




The two 2000mAh lithium batteries are at the bottom, which not only brings a good battery life experience, but also the extremely low installation position also greatly reduces the center of gravity of the keyboard, which also brings better keyboard stability. The large capacity of 4000mAh combined with the smart sleep function provides a battery life of 7 days in the light-on mode and 45 days in the light-off mode



three. to experience



The coolest thing about the wireless keyboard is that the trouble of the little tail is finally gone, and the cleanliness of the desktop is greatly improved, especially for friends with obsessive-compulsive disorder.




After dialing the mode selection key to the corresponding mode, press FN+Q to start pairing, and you can use it after pairing.




As a code writer, the first thing I pay attention to is the hand feeling of code words. I personally prefer the paragraph axis. This time, the Zijin axis Pro is a tea-like paragraph axis customized by Dareu. The trigger pressure is 45±8gf and the trigger stroke is 2.1. ±0.3mm, the total stroke is 3.8±0.2mm. In terms of feel, it is very close to the tea switch, the trigger pressure is appropriate, and the sense of paragraph is obvious. Although it is not as crisp as the green switch, it is more suitable for coding at night. It feels soft and elastic when it hits the bottom, and rebounds quickly. . The inter-layer fence-type high-toughness noise-absorbing silicone in the newly upgraded fence-type GASKET structure cooperates with the bottom silicone pad to bring a good bottoming feel and good noise control, which makes it a kind of enjoyment for my fingers to code late at night.




In addition, I would like to specifically talk about the large keys of the Dareu A87 Pro. Due to the use of specially tuned satellite axes and balance bars, the triggering feel of the large keys is also very comfortable.




Each button of Dareu A87 Pro has an independent RGB backlight LED lamp bead, which can bring excellent backlight effect with different flashing programs.




Let my son experience the game, he said that the response is very sensitive, the keys do not conflict, and it is easier to play than my previous green switch, and he said that he will change to this keyboard in the future. This evaluation seems to be very satisfactory.


Four. Summarize


Dareu A87 Pro three-mode gaming mechanical keyboard, its Bluetooth and 2.4G dual wireless let me completely get rid of the shackles of cables, and the SKY-themed color-matched keycaps make its appearance full, and the customized Zijin Switch Pro is a tea-like paragraph switch , Typing and gaming feel are very good, the upgraded fence-style GASKET structure not only brings a better bottoming feel but also has a better noise reduction effect. On the whole, the Dareu A87 Pro three-mode gaming mechanical keyboard can completely replace the current wired mechanical keyboard, and it has better code words and game feel. It is worth buying a set.


The author declares that there is interest in this article, please respect the author and the content shared, communicate friendly, and make rational decisions~

Occasionally, I work at home and use a laptop and a monitor as a desktop. I am exhausted from typing, so I need an external keyboard.


Because the office environment at home is shallow and narrow, there are already two wires connected to the monitor, and another wire connected to the previous wired keyboard is messy. In addition, the large keyboard occupies too much space and is cumbersome, and the small numeric keypad is rarely used, so it is unnecessary. So I thought about buying a compact bluetooth keyboard. For example, Logitech has some ultra-thin and compact membrane keyboards similar to Magic Keyboard, which are very good for space and simplicity, but because I have been using mechanical keyboards as a coder and character farmer, I finally chose a Bluetooth wireless compact mechanical keyboard.


I used a ducky tall tea shaft before, which is very cool. I originally wanted to look for traditional mechanical keyboard brands, but found that there are more complete layouts and wired ones, and fewer compact layouts with Bluetooth. The target products are mainly in the three brands of ikbc, Jingzao, and RK, and there are some miscellaneous ones such as ASUS. Considering the appearance, shaft body, performance (Bluetooth module), etc., I chose Jingzao, because I prefer its light gray, compact and simple appearance without edging.


There is a whole set of short switches with 68, 84, and 100 keys. There are green switches, brown switches, and red switches to choose from, as well as RGB and white light options.


Because typing is the main focus and I want to be quieter at home, I use a tea switch; because I am afraid of blindness, I choose white light; because it is more convenient to use F1-12 for office and Internet access, I choose 84 keys. Both K2 and K3 have 84 keys, and K3 is a new design with no frame, so I chose K3.


It's a pity that the packaging design is a bit low


The inner packaging is not high-end, but the things are quite complete


I removed a plastic case from the keyboard package, and it comes with a typec cable, key puller and replacement keycaps for windows/mac


nothing special on the back


Frameless design, looks particularly compact, my favorite point; there are mode and system switches on the back


Replace the brown switch with a windows keycap; the structure under the keycap is very simple, I hope it will be clean and durable.


The size is a little bit larger than the magic keyboard, but the key travel and key size, the feel is definitely much better than the mkb. Mkb multi-machine switching is really painful! ! ! !


1. The first hand is relatively soft, without the refreshing feeling of the red switch (I was a little disappointed at the beginning), but the graininess and strength of the mechanical keyboard are relatively clear and silky (I can only say that it is in line with his positioning. consistent).



2. I feel that the low-axis key stroke is a little shorter than the ordinary one, but it is much longer than the membrane keyboard. If there is no comparison with other mechanical keyboards, or the habit of using mechanical keyboards for a long time, there may be no obvious feeling. Compared with the compromise of size, it is acceptable.


3. The Bluetooth connection is very smooth, and the input feedback does not feel delayed. It is relatively stable and satisfactory. For the time being, I have not experienced the problem that others said that the sleep cannot be woken up (follow-up, try to really sleep, and see the instructions to turn it off)


4. There are many light modes, even a white light has many sports modes, and it is gradual, and the grade is good. But I don't have any demands on the lamp. If I take the lamp away, I am willing to deduct 50 yuan. It is also more convenient to turn off the lights and adjust the lights.


5. Standard-sized arrow keys and page up/down/home/end can quickly meet office needs. praise. If the pursuit of size is more extreme, in fact, I am also very excited about the 64-key one. ikbc has one that doesn't even have arrow keys, and the size is the ultimate, but it affects productivity, so discard it.


6. There is no palm rest, and the keyboard is small, which is a bit tiring for the wrist.


7. There are a lot of very detailed guidelines on function adjustment and device switching, etc., I am impatient to read. Check it out when you use it.


As the appearance and size are the priority, there is no special choice, but I found that the design, quality and cost performance of JD.com's customized products are not bad.


It is a surprise choice, and it can be recommended for those who pursue space like me.


If there are fixed wiring positions and a larger space, it will be more comfortable to buy a wired mechanical keyboard with a complete axis and a complete layout (I use a wired mechanical keyboard in the company)

Recently, I entered the key ring and bought several mechanical keyboards. The keyboard shared today is the GK75 from Xiaodu. It has 75% configuration, built-in knobs, LiteGasket structure, customized fast optical axis V3, and supports heat. Plugging and unplugging, support for custom lighting, etc., both in design and materials are very distinctive and selling points, and the current "rolling pole" key ring is also outstanding.




Let’s talk about the appearance first. The shell of this keyboard is black and transparent, and the internal structure of the keyboard can be vaguely seen. With the atomized matte surface treatment, the feel and texture are very good.





The masculine fan is matched with the dark blue keycap color scheme, which can be said to kill both men and women, and the overall appearance is still very online in my opinion.





The keyboard layout is the 75% layout that is very popular recently, except for the main keypad, the F key, arrow keys and 3 function keys are reserved. Compared with the 87 layout, it saves more desktop space and is more practical than the 60 layout.





The metal knob is also one of the features of this keyboard. The CNC-processed aluminum alloy knob is exquisite in workmanship. The front feels smooth and can be clicked.





The back of the keyboard is still a translucent shell, and the obvious rib design inside the shell can be seen, which is full of sense of technology. There are five non-slip foot pads on the bottom, and two double-section foot supports, which can meet the needs of different heights. As a single-mode wired keyboard, the GK75 adopts a key and wire separation design. The interface uses a Type-C interface, and a three-way outlet slot is reserved to facilitate outlets from different positions, making the desktop more concise.





Of course, RGB is also an indispensable part of the appearance. GK75 supports RGB lighting, and has a variety of built-in lighting effects. You can also customize the lighting effects through the driver, which is very playable.





Compared with the switch body used in ordinary mechanical keyboards, the GK75 keyboard uses the customized Glacier Optical Switch V3.





Unlike ordinary mechanical shafts that are triggered by metal contacts, optical shafts use infrared light to trigger button signals. There is no need to worry about the oxidation of metal contacts, and the triggering speed will not be affected by mechanical vibrations. It can be close to 0ms. The trigger speed can be one step faster in the game and preemptive strikes.





In addition to being fast, the Glacier Optical Switch V3 adopts the same structure and process as the mechanical switch body for the feeling of use. It is factory-lubricated and the axis shake is small. The feel and sound are consistent with ordinary customized mechanical switches.





The nerd GK75 provides three types of glacier optical axis for triggering. I have a Bumblebee V3 with no segment design and a trigger pressure of 38~42gf. It is specially designed for games. The action stroke is only 1.2mm, compared with ordinary Ordinary shaft body with 1.8mm stroke, triggering faster.





The two-color injection-molded PBT keycap used by the small bug GK75 has clear characters. Compared with the ABS keycap, it will not appear oily and the character will be scratched and faded after long-term use.





The keycaps are ball caps, the height of GK5, not only the shape is round, but also the feel is round, which can ensure that you will not feel tired when typing for a long time.





The small bug GK75 also comes with two packs of full set of supplementary keycaps. In addition to the substitute keys of the same color, it also includes supplementary keys with multiple configurations. I have seen two or three supplementary keycaps. real.



After using it for a while, let me talk about the experience of using the GK75.




Thanks to the patented Lite Gasket flick structure, the one-piece silicone core under the positioning plate, and the 0.2mm high-precision shaft pad, it can effectively reduce the impact of the central shaft body and play a role in noise reduction . In daily input, the tapping feels comfortable, and the tapping sound is also very crisp, without muffled sound.





The large key adopts Jiadalong's customized static-tuning fat-run Taiji satellite axis, which is very well tuned, stable and without shaking, and the trigger sound is crisper than ordinary keys.





The knob key is the volume control by default, which is very convenient after you get used to it. When adjusting the computer speakers, you no longer need to use the mouse to drag the volume bar, and you can directly click the mute operation.





The nerd GK75 supports WIN and MAC dual system switching. For dual system users, it can be switched with one key.





For an optical keyboard, compared with ordinary mechanical switches, the shaking time is 10~15ms faster, close to 0ms without delay triggering, excellent response speed, and the gaming experience is still very outstanding. The hardware is pre-emptive.



GK75 can be said to be a keyboard with distinctive features, excellent appearance and excellent experience: 75 configurations, Lite Gasket flick structure, customized fast optical axis, semi-transparent shell + RGB lighting effect, two-color injection molded PTB ball Cap, it can be said to be very cost-effective. It is suitable for both gaming and office work.

The keyboard holds immense significance when it comes to computer peripherals, acting as the primary method of operation for most computer users. With an increasing number of individuals working with computers nowadays, the standard keyboards found in many offices fail to provide ease of use or personalized features. As a newcomer to the workforce, individuals born after 2000 must adopt a dedicated approach towards their work and select quality equipment. To meet this requirement, I would like to introduce the Logitech Wuhuang Wanshui co-branded keyboard.
The Logitech K845 Wuhuang Wanshui joint keyboard showcases an adorable appearance. It includes Wuhuang Wanshui IP special effect keycaps in the non-letter area, while the letter area is crafted with ABS material, guaranteeing that the letters remain intact and do not fade even after prolonged usage. Moreover, the keyboard embraces a Suspended button design, making it incredibly easy to clean off everyday dust accumulation.
In terms of usability, the Logitech keyboard offers an excellent experience. The arc-shaped keycap layout adheres to ergonomic principles, ensuring a more natural and convenient typing experience. Additionally, the keyboard features five diverse backlight effects that add a touch of coolness. Users are given the freedom to choose their preferred backlight mode as per their liking.
The Logitech co-branded mechanical keyboard, equipped with brown switches, demonstrates high sensitivity and a comfortable touch. The keys respond promptly with a smooth up and down motion, making it a top-notch choice for both gaming and work purposes. Moreover, the keyboard's adorable co-branded design serves as an enticing peripheral option.
In conclusion, the keyboard assumes a crucial role in computer usage, and it is imperative for modern individuals, especially those new to the workforce, to prioritize their equipment choices. The Logitech Wuhuang Wanshui co-branded keyboard undoubtedly meets these requirements, combining functionality, aesthetics, and ease of use in one superior peripheral.
