It is said that fashion is a reincarnation, so why not in the field of mechanical keyboards? In the early years, keyboards with narrow borders were popular, but in the past two years, keyboards with wide borders and retro styles have returned to the public eye. That's right, what I want to share with you today is the zx75 Gravity Wave mechanical keyboard from iQnix. The retro shape of this ZX75 at first glance will really make your eyes shine. The width of the surrounding borders is even, showing a different feeling. The keyboard adopts a 75% key layout, with a total of 81 keys, which ensures daily use. The keyboard size is made smaller. I believe no one will refuse the color of the keycaps. White, gray, and yellow match each other, making this keyboard look simple and clean, and the yellow characters on the white background look very refreshing. The highly utilized arrow keys are retained, and the design of the arrow keys going down and to the left close to the main keyboard is also the current mainstream. Of course, it is also equipped with the knob that everyone likes. There is a certain distance between the arrow keys and the function keys next to them. As long as you are familiar with them, there will be basically no accidental touches. The black knob is not too obtrusive, and the exquisite workmanship makes it blend with the keyboard. The top design of the keyboard is very interesting. There is a Type-C interface in the middle, and the two sides are symmetrical transparent materials, which can vaguely see the internal PCB board. The back is bright yellow. The design on the back is almost flat. The product model and parameters are posted in the middle. The inconspicuous position below is the switch between wired and wireless modes. The four corners are equipped with non-slip pads. If you get closer, you can see that there will be a diagonal texture on the back of the keyboard. In addition, the ZX75’s feet are also very special. The metal material is fixed on the back of the keyboard by magnetic attraction. Take off the foot support and turn the direction and then attach it to the keyboard, and the keyboard will be lifted to a certain height. During the actual adjustment process, it was found that the foot support is fixed very firmly. This keyboard height adjustment method should be the only one of the current mechanical keyboard. The shaft body adopts the current hot TTC quick silver shaft body, and the large key position adopts a balance bar structure. Except that it will be a little troublesome to install after disassembly, there is really nothing to say about the feel performance. In addition, you can see that the large key position is shipped from the factory. There is lubrication, the purpose is to make the feel more pure. The keyboard is equipped with a full-key hot-swappable design, which makes it very easy to try different button feel, but the TTC silver switch equipped is really strong, which can be said to be the absolute first camp performance among the current linear switches. TTC's quick silver switch has similar characteristics to the cherry silver switch, which is to achieve faster triggering by shortening the key stroke. It uses a double-segment long spring structure to improve the accuracy and initial pressure of the key, thereby reducing the risk of false keyboard touches. The exquisiteness of the iQnix keyboard has achieved every detail. The two-color injection molded PBT keycaps are made of solid materials, and the injection nozzles of the keycaps are very small and hidden at the bottom edge of the keycaps. It is almost impossible to find its existence in daily use. Choose a mechanical keyboard on the one hand because it has a more personalized appearance, on the other hand because it has a better button feel. This ZX75 Gravity Wave is the second aluminum factory keyboard I have used, and its feel still has a high level of presentation. The smooth touch of TTC Kuaiyin is vividly displayed on the ZX75. The brisk trigger experience not only makes the coding process more comfortable, but also improves the input speed at the psychological level. Of course, the sound of code words is also very comfortable, and the pure "da da da" button sound can cure all kinds of unhappiness. I have tried to use Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless connection methods. The connection process is simple and stable. There is almost no input delay, and the keyboard is more convenient to use without the shackles of wires. Who knows the benefits of having a knob on the keyboard, it is very convenient to adjust the volume, and the knob also supports pressing, which can switch between video playback and pause. At the same time, it is a keyboard that supports Mac and Windows dual systems, and can be easily switched between the two systems in daily use. The light bar next to the knob can also be used as a reminder light for uppercase and lowercase input in daily use. For example, when the light is on, it means that it is now in the uppercase input state. This prompt method is quite special. In addition, this light bar is RGB light, so different colors can also indicate the connection status and charging indicator light function. The keyboard has a built-in 6000mAh large battery, which is even larger than the current mobile phone battery. According to the official introduction, its battery life in Bluetooth mode can even reach a terrifying 300 days, so you don’t have to worry about its power in daily use, and even the battery No electricity, and this beautiful data cable that comes with it will not make you feel disgusted with him. ZX75 offers a matte version and an RGB version, the difference between the two is 100 yuan. I think the matte version in my hand is also very beautiful. If you are an RGB lover, you must like the RGB version very much. Finally, there is an unpacking link that everyone must like. The packaging design is exquisite, and the black hard shell is also fixed with this girdle with the word Gravity Wave. On the back of the product, some features of this keyboard are marked, including three-mode, hot-swappable, full-key no-reverse, and so on. The keyboard is carefully protected, with sponges fixed around the hard shell, and the keyboard is also wrapped with a film. Underneath the keyboard is a large-sized keyboard manual. Below the manual are various accessories, I have to say that the accessories are really complete. The included accessories include a Type-C to Type-A data cable, a 2-in-1 key puller, a retractable brush, a 2.4G receiver, and four keycaps for Mac computers. By the way, the keyboard also comes with a transparent dust cover. You don't have to worry about dust intrusion when you cover it on the keyboard for daily use, and it will not affect the appearance of the keyboard. Don’t think that iQnix only has aluminum keyboards to choose from. For example, this retro ZX75 gravity ball is also worth a try. It has three modes, TTC shaft optional, full-key hot-swappable, exquisite and practical 75% configuration, etc. Let you put it down. So, will this good-looking and easy-to-use keyboard be your love? The full text is over, thank you for watching.

Hello everyone, a few days ago Zha Zha wrote an article "It doesn't seem so difficult to make a good keyboard", and shared with you some product trends of domestic brand keyboards and the status quo of involution. And recently, I also received an MX LP2.0 low-axis mechanical keyboard from Cherry. Today we might as well change our perspective and talk about why manufacturers with stronger comprehensive strengths like Cherry, Logitech, and Corsair are so good at feeling. Always "almost mean". Regarding the bad feel of the big manufacturers, there is still some paradox—these brands have strong R&D strength and funds, and it seems that it is not particularly difficult to adjust the keyboard. What's more, there is basically a standard answer for mass-produced brands to improve the feel. How can there be only a handful of mass-produced major brands that do this small thing well? Regarding this problem, I slag made up some reasons why domestic manufacturers cannot do it in the previous article: for example, it is difficult to automate the process of moisturizing the satellite axis, and another example is the cycle sharing rate of the mold cost of the self-owned factory, etc. As for the first-tier brands that adopt the OEM processing model, it seems that these reasons for brain supplementation are not valid-at the price range of these brands, they have enough profits to support their products to achieve an excellent feel that is more recognized by the market, and they also have more The confidence to go to the PUA foundry, forcing the factory to improve product details. For example, Cherry brand keyboards, compared to our hatred of Cherry switches, some of Cherry’s finished keyboards, especially the product level of the MX series, can be said without hesitation—the MX series has been developed since the earliest 8.0 and 9.0. Filled with a strong earthy Shamat style, this kind of product positioning with full IQ and taxes is also very inconsistent with Cherry's position in the industry. The following new MX series, especially the new wireless keyboards, have indeed made great progress in the overall style, but their outrageous market prices and extreme marketing terms are also difficult for consumers to accept. In this regard, my personal attitude has always been abhorrent. From another perspective, we must at least admit that, as a leading manufacturer in the industry, Cherry's product and R&D teams should be able to keep abreast of the current mainstream keyboard development trends—so this time the MX-LP 2.1 low-axis keyboard looks It is still a continuation of the Cherry keyboard style in recent years, but on the other hand, it also expresses Cherry's exploration and compromise on the market more strongly-contrasting color keycaps, short switches, compact layout, etc. are all Cherry in everyone's previous impressions. missing elements. The quality of the MX-LP2.1 keyboard itself is not too much to introduce. As a compact low-axis keyboard with a price of 700+, the overall feel of the MX-LP2.1 is complete, compared with the previous few short keyboards. There is still a certain gap between the shaft benchmarks - the steel wire sound of the large keys and the friction sound in the shaft stroke still exist, and there is still a relatively obvious cavity sound. The lack of these details still belongs to the category of the problem we raised at the beginning: Cherry They still haven't done these small details well, but it doesn't mean they are incapable of doing it well - the metal version MX-LP6.1 of the same series has an internal sandwich filling, and the overall feel and texture are much better. The overall appearance design of MX-LP2.1 can be called excellent - the floating rounded rectangle looks elegant and simple, the keycaps are excellent in workmanship, the characters are clear and durable, although the color matching is a bit abrupt, but for Cherry, it is enough to be called That's huge progress. In addition, MX-LP2.1 still has some flaws in the product details - as a compact keyboard with a short shaft and a large flat keycap, there is no kick design at the bottom, and the ease of use is not even as good as Dareu's EK868. It makes people feel a little unbelievable. The most likely reason is that MX-LP2.1 was developed as a low-profile derivative version of metal MX-LP6.1 at the beginning of research and development, and metal keyboards are naturally inconvenient to design feet, so there is no need to separately Designed with feet. Next, close the topic and talk about the pricing of the MX-LP2.1 keyboard and some of it. First of all, it needs to be clear that the price of this low-axis keyboard priced at 1,099 yuan has stabilized in the 700 yuan range after one month on the market. Compared with Cherry’s previous products, this price is basically a normal price. If you consider the brand power Plus, it's not really that expensive. However, by horizontal comparison, we can find that the current compact layout low-axis keyboard market has been firmly occupied by Keychron and Nuphy, while the higher-end market includes Logitech’s G913, and the sinking market also includes Dareu EK868 and IKBC S200. As far as the current product strength of MX-LP2.1 is concerned, it is not easy to get involved in the compact low-axis market and get a piece of the pie, but on the other hand, Cherry does not seem to worry about sales—in the recent promotional nodes, No matter how the domestic keyboard manufacturers compete inwardly, Cherry will always have a place at the top of the list. Only relying on the reputation of the brand and the original factory can easily gain faith and orders, which is better than those with excellent switches. The domestic brands should be simple and crude - I don't care what kind of gold powder, fast silver tiger you are, I'm the original factory, that's enough. So back to the original question, why the keyboards of manufacturers like Cherry, Logitech, and Corsair are always "almost meaningless" in terms of feel. Rather than looking for reasons in R&D, foundries, and supply chains, it is better to admit frankly that most users, especially those who are not sensitive to prices only looking at top international brands, often do not perceive the so-called steel wire. Tone, Run axis, feel and other issues. As for these leading brands, their research and development capabilities are often concentrated on the technical side - better optical axis, more stable wireless connection, higher polling rate and more complete ecology are the priorities of these brands. , maybe in the eyes of the RDs of these brands, focusing on the structure and feel is only something that domestic brands that cannot survive will do.

My main force has been using the hhkb pro2 keyboard. I changed the hasu bluetooth master control. It is very convenient to use, but I found that as a user of standard fingering and as a patient with obsessive-compulsive disorder, the natural posture of the hand is placed When on the keyboard, the distance between the left and right of the keyboard is different the right side will be longer Although the problem is not big, the more you pay attention, the more uncomfortable you feel (personal opinion) 有幸去年在Y&R工作室买了张nz67v2 pcb，单键开槽旋钮预留加底灯都有，买的是分离小板版本，正好可以满足我的需求 The original idea was to realize that the distance between the left and the right is basically the same. I just bought a desktop weather clock and measured the size of the screen. The idea is also partially referred to the "I am the leader of the beggar gang" up video https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1sY41147cB/?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0 ） I chose Zuoer's mortise-and-mortise-like acrylic structure for the basic drawings. Acrylic is cheap and affordable, and it is good news for customized players or DIY enthusiasts Next is a few months of procrastinating drawing time (I had ideas in April and May, and then the finished product was delayed until recently. It doesn’t take that long to draw pictures. It’s just that I am procrastinating, so I draw from time to time) The weather clock and the keyboard pcb are connected in parallel to the power supply and signal lines of the keyboard separate board, so that one line can be inserted to meet the power supply requirements and signal transmission of the clock and keyboard (but the brightness of the clock screen is turned on when the bottom light and backlight of the keyboard pcb are turned on at the same time It will drop a little, it’s not a big problem for me who don’t turn on the light) Take a look at the mobile phone When the bottom light is turned on, the transparent acrylic at the bottom will be lit up, and the slag machine can’t take pictures without the atmosphere Some people may say that it is like Hanwen 75, this is also my great honor, part of the idea collided with the boss After half a month of experience, I feel very good, and there may be psychological factors of "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but I am also very satisfied. The only dissatisfaction may be that the PC keycaps are too easy to accumulate dust From the moment when the idea starts to the actual finished product, the joy brought should be the happiest moment for all DIY lovers Finally, thanks to Mr. Zuoer, the author of the open source drawings, and the up master of "I am the leader of the gang of beggars"

This is my first mechanical keyboard. I have been using laptops for so many years, and they always use their own keyboards. It is also convenient to mute. I didn’t have any needs. I just changed my laptop last month and added a laptop stand. High, it is inconvenient to type on the keyboard when the notebook is set up I changed to a new Logitech mouse, and I always feel that I have to buy a set of mechanical keyboards. If there is nothing else, I just want to be uniform and replace them all with new ones. I also watched many brands of keyboards⌨️. I don’t understand mechanical keyboards, various brands, switches, etc. I also watched some videos and learned about them. Last month, when I was shopping for something worth buying, I happened to see a valued friend in the comment area saying how powerful and cost-effective this VGN98pro keyboard is. On the evening of the 2nd, the ice cream version purchased at 399, sea salt color matching I actually paid 383 after using the payment discount and all-product coupons. This price is okay, right? In addition, it also said that there are rainbow aviation plug-in cables and pudding keycaps, which should be worth the fare. During this period of time, I basically checked every day to see if there was any delivery. After all, this keyboard was too popular, and the sales volume seemed to be the first. Unfortunately, the production capacity could not keep up, and the customer service was scarce, so I was too busy. The whole buying experience was actually relatively average, but just wait It took almost half a month for the shipment to be delivered, and SF Express is also relatively fast, and it arrived in two days The packaging is relatively simple The outer packaging looks a little cheaper, but the packaging is not important There is no sealing strip or anything, open it directly The keyboard body, sent a few stickers Warranty card, one year warranty after sale a simple piece of paper Instruction manual on the back The appearance is still pretty Nameplate on the back Receiver is placed here Sent space bar, shaft body The charging port is here keyboard The keyboard looks nice to me connect computer It’s my first time to use a mechanical keyboard, so I won’t mention too much experience, I don’t understand it, so as not to mislead, in general, I think it’s worth buying this keyboard for less than 400 yuan, and it’s very comfortable to type on. , the sound is not loud, it feels good, supports Bluetooth, receiver and other three-mode connections, the workmanship is not bad, there is also a relatively beautiful backlight, the battery capacity is large enough, the battery life is long, and the keyboard layout is relatively reasonable, I am quite satisfied

Heijue peripheral brand was established in 2009 and headquartered in Shenzhen. It is a relatively well-known peripheral manufacturer in China. For peripheral products such as keyboards, mice, and earphones, they have independent R&D and design capabilities. The AK873 wired mechanical keyboard is a cost-effective wired mechanical keyboard recently launched by Heijue. How does it perform? I hope the following evaluation can give the answer. First look at the unboxing of the product: On the back of the box are some product parameters, including size, weight, compatible operating systems, etc. Open the package of Heijue AK873 wired mechanical keyboard, and you can see the body of the keyboard. The body is white, with an 87-key layout, using PBT material keycaps, which take up little space, and the keycaps will not fade after a long time. Magnetic surface cover design, easy to disassemble and clean. The cable is detachable with a magnetic ring. The interface is Type-C interface and Type-A interface. In addition, a shaft puller and a key puller are also included in the package. The keyboard supports the replacement of the switch body. I started with the second-generation Shanlan switch. This keyboard provides a variety of switch bodies including red switches, green switches, Shanlan switches, and blue switches, and supports hot plugging of the switches. pull. For users with different needs, they can always find the one that suits them. Looking at the details, the Shanlaan axis is a linear axis with less trigger pressure. The foot support of Heijue AK873 wired mechanical keyboard is a one-piece design, which is relatively simple. The pads are thicker. Viewed from the side, the keycap of the Heyjue AK873 wired mechanical keyboard has an overall concave curvature. In addition, the keycap can be removed with a key puller. The full key supports hot swapping and is compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts. If you want to replace any other shafts in the future, you can just pull out the original shaft and replace it, which is very convenient. This keyboard uses the ice blue light effect by default: It has many light effects to choose from, which can be switched: Next, let’s look at the actual experience. The Heijue AK873 wired mechanical keyboard is matched with the Shanlan switch, which feels smoother and more responsive. The trigger pressure is relatively small, close to the red axis, and the sense of paragraph is not as obvious as the red axis. The knocking sound of the shaft body itself is not loud, and with the filling design of three layers of sound-absorbing cotton, the entire keyboard is relatively quiet during operation. At the same time, with the ice blue light effect, the overall appearance is full. Overall, Heijue AK873 wired mechanical keyboard is a competitive product at the same price. As a product with a price of only more than 100 yuan, its overall workmanship and materials have reached the level of several hundred yuan products.
