In recent years, with the vigorous development of animation culture, more and more elements of the two-dimensional element appear on IT electronic equipment. Many PC hardware manufacturers will choose to cooperate with third parties to launch various products with two-dimensional style. To meet the purchase needs of some players. Especially in the field of peripherals where the development threshold is relatively low and the price is relatively friendly, there are countless such products.



Recently, GALAX cooperated with Keychron to launch the K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard, which added the Q-version virtual image of GALAX "Xingyaoniang". This is a product with 80% layout and TKL arrangement. It supports QMK/VIA open source key change. It is a customized mechanical keyboard for Bluetooth and USB wired dual-mode connection. The price is 499 yuan. The target group obviously likes the two-dimensional style. PC gamers.



Packaging and appearance: Macaron color system, Xingyaoniang image




On the outer packaging, the GALAXY x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard shows a refreshing design style, with sky blue as the background on the front and back, the product model can be seen on the left side of the front, some keyboards are displayed on the right side, and some keyboards are on the back Introduction to features. Since the keyboard itself is also a relatively light macaron tone, it matches the tone of the entire outer packaging very well and looks very harmonious.






The GALAX x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard has an 87-key classic TKL layout, and the overall size is 354 x 124 x 41.7 mm, which is relatively small. The keyboard is based on Keychron's K8 PRO, the main body is white, with white, purple and orange keycaps, some of the keycaps have the LOGO of GALAXY or Xingyao, for example, the space bar is the English LOGO of Xingyao, and some keycaps have There is a Q-version image of Xingyaoniang, and a certain stylized design is carried out on the enter and backspace keys, which brings a lively and friendly look and feel, full of youthful vitality.


There are not many items in the package, including the keyboard body, USB cable, key puller, complimentary keycap set and manual, etc.








The GALAX x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard provides two connection methods, namely USB wired connection and Bluetooth wireless connection. There is a USB Type-C interface on the side of the keyboard, and a mode switching key is also provided, making it easy for users to operate. Among them, the Bluetooth connection supports the seamless switching of three devices, and the user can switch through Fn+1/Fn+2/Fn+3.


The official said that the built-in 4000mAh large-capacity battery can be used for 80 hours after charging for 6 hours. According to the daily use time and the brightness of the RGB backlight, the longest use time is about three to five weeks, which is believed to meet the general needs of users.





The keyboard has its own ergonomics and can be adjusted at an angle of about 6° to 9°. There is an oval non-slip foot pad at the bottom to ensure stability, and a two-stage adjustable support foot design, which brings three different use angles, so that different users can find a more comfortable input angle.


The GALAXY x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard uses Jiadalong G yellow Pro switch, which is a 3-pin linear switch body, with a trigger pressure of 50g, a bottoming pressure of 67g, and an action stroke of 2.0+0.6mm. It is 4.0mm, and the keycap is made of PBT material and sublimation process, and the internal structure is also equipped with a noise-reducing cotton interlayer, a positioning plate and a silicone pad. This makes the keyboard have a more linear feel, and the short-stroke trigger allows users to have a comfortable tapping experience in games or office use.









Keychron K8 PRO itself is a customized and personalized mechanical keyboard that can be easily assembled. This joint product is no exception, and these DIY features are preserved. It supports hot-swappable keys, and users can replace the mechanical shaft body according to their own needs. In addition, it also supports QMK / VIA open source key change, which can program and customize the function keys of the keyboard. You can download the firmware from the Keychron official website.


The GALAX x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard has an RGB illusion lighting effect, which works well with the keyboard as a whole, and the brightness is relatively moderate, which will not make people feel glaring. Since the keycaps used are not transparent, the light overflows from the gaps in the keycaps. There is also an independent light key in the upper right corner of the keyboard, and users can switch between various lighting effects with one key.


Hands-on experience: linear smoothness, highly customizable



The Jiadalong G yellow Pro switch after moistening is smoother than the Jiadalong yellow switch when it is tapped. In addition, the PBT material used for the keycap will feel soft to the fingertips. The sound when the keyboard is struck is relatively "dull". As long as it is not struck hard, the sound of the keys is not too loud. This is not unrelated to the structural design optimization of the noise-reducing cotton interlayer, positioning plate and silicone pad added to the keyboard. I personally like the tactile feel of this keyboard, especially when typing continuously, it is very silky, and I can fully feel the input pleasure brought by the linear feel. In the game, the response of the GALAXY x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard is also very sensitive, and there is no obvious delay. It can be regarded as a gaming keyboard.


Another point that I personally like is the RGB lighting effect provided by the GALAX x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard, which can be displayed during the day when it is bright, and is not dazzling at night in a dark environment. It is very convenient to have an independent lighting key to realize one-key switching, and it provides more lighting effect modes, and the effects are also quite different. You can change the RGB lighting effect or even turn off the lighting effect from time to time according to your mood.



Since the USB Type-C interface is located on the side of the keyboard, the attached USB cable has also been treated with a 90° corner at the position where it is connected to the keyboard, which is a humanized design. Like many similar products, the Bluetooth mode of the GALAXY x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard supports seamless switching between three devices, which is convenient for users with multiple devices. Through Fn+1/Fn+2 /Fn+3 to switch.


On the side of the keyboard, in addition to the USB Type-C interface and connection mode switching key, there is also a switching key between Windows/Android and Mac/iOS systems, which can restore the Mac layout and multimedia functions, which is convenient for different users' daily office and games. The manufacturer also thoughtfully prepared replacement keycaps, allowing users to easily replace them to meet the needs of different operating systems.



Although the appearance looks relatively small, the GALAXY x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard is not light, and it is very heavy in the hand. If you need to carry the keyboard out frequently, it may not be a good choice. However, it has a good effect in use, and the keyboard will feel very stable when typing.


Summary: Contrasting cute design, two-dimensional hard core


The GALAX x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard itself focuses on the appearance design, which is covered with various two-dimensional elements, showing its style and positioning. In terms of internal design, this is a product that tends to pursue customization. From the internal structure to the functional configuration, it caters to the needs of many peripheral enthusiasts today. Various customizable designs bring high playability , To a certain extent, there is a "contrast" with the appearance design. The Jiadalong G yellow Pro switch it chooses has a smooth linear feel when tapping, providing a linear, comfortable and stable input experience, taking into account both games and daily use.


Compared with the Keychron K8 PRO mechanical keyboard sold on the market, the price of the GALAXY x Keychron K8 PRO Xingyaoniang joint keyboard is similar, and it is not like some similar products due to the addition of elements such as "co-branding" or "two-dimensional".

sunset80 is a customized TKL keyboard kit, this keyboard is really beautiful, with low-key narrow side frame and sunset RGB decorative lights,


And although you can't see it, it is still very trendy mirror weight and titanium mascus press forged titanium weight.


The first experience is really heavy, the keyboard bag I received this time is just the black color I like, Lucky~




Inside, a super-large keyboard cloth is sent, and the positioning board, PCB, and sound-absorbing cotton are also packaged in separate plastic shells.



Opening the curtain, let’s take a recent photo of the titanium mascus counterweight and decorative lamp. Surprisingly, the decorative lamp is also made of the same material, so beautiful~






PCB, in fact, the main feature of this model is welding and steelless configuration, so the fixed position of Gasket is made on PCB instead of positioning board.


Therefore, there is no PCB slotting process like many kits. You can open and install after finishing all the shaft seats with tweezers~



The axis used this time is Wallaby, and Jiadalong’s new flagship is an early stage axis.


I heard that the initial batches of the model were poorly run, and there were a lot of shafts with new oil, which led to smelly shafts.


After the actual test on my side, it has actually been reduced a lot, and only one of the 90 pieces has been oiled.


But there will be an obvious sound of shrapnel, if you mind, you still have to take it apart and re-run it


In terms of actual playing feeling, it is really comfortable. Like a typewriter, the double-segment spring is also very handy.


Of course the volume is not politely loud



However, due to the low grammage of the spring, it is mainly on the blank key. If you use a thicker blank keycap, it may be a bit awkward.


Deliberately raise your hand very slowly, or even fail to rebound,


It can be solved by changing the spring.


This time I was lazy and chose the specifications of hot-swappable and PC positioning boards. I used TX 2023 AP for the satellite axis.


But the steel wire I got this time is slightly crooked, and I still need to make a small concave.


Also done the processing of the patch in the fake shaft and the lubrication of the shaft of XHTBDZ and 105+205MIX.



Finished, like the personal thick sound, stuffed well.



Finally assembled, remember that the PCB cable should be correctly embedded in the groove of the counterweight, the installation of the two cables, and the positioning column of the PCB in the shell also need to be plugged.



There is also a protective film for the weight of the mirror on the back that must be torn off, hehe



Next is the keycap, this time I want dark, blue, decorative lights will also be lit in blue, blue and green, similar to the feeling of the deep sea


So when I saw KAT Atlantis, I was deeply attracted by the replaced ancient symbol keycaps and color schemes, so I decided to choose this one! !


You can see the beautiful two-color molding pattern on the inner side of this model, but the soup mouth on the outer side is a bit obvious, which is a pity for QQ




Done spicy!!!



There is also the typing sound, the overall feeling is not muffled, but brittle between the tea shaft, maybe this is the so-called clack


Summarize


In fact, this one has some small disadvantages:


1.sunset80 has shaft lights, only white light, and very dark, compared with capslock, other shafts are much dimmer,


When the light is turned on, there is almost no white light, and only a small reflection can be seen on the wallaby shaft of the transparent cover.


In addition, I don't know why it is very dark, but it has 30 levels of brightness,


So I often can't feel his brightness change, and then keep pressing the head, reset until the axis light is turned off, and I have to press it 30 times again.



2. WKL is not a disadvantage at all


In addition to TKL, it is still WKL, that is, without the windows key, there is a subtle symmetrical beauty visually,


But both windows and macOS have very useful functions on the windows key,


For example, range screenshots, clipboard, switching desktops, vscode copy and drag, multi-cursor, etc.,


The last customary configuration is to tie windows to the alt position on the right.


In fact, this is more convenient, because on the macOS used at work, you often need to press a bunch of command+shift+option+ a bunch of keys,


I often get my fingers stuck together, which is not comfortable. At this time, pull the option to the right and press it more accurately~


3. Weight, the weight after assembly is 3.08 kg. Carry this monster to the company for use, commuting until you are sweating profusely and out of breath. Orz


For the above, I probably won't change it for a long time, probably (super guilty.
