I am a peach in Loudong, a digital enthusiast, and I am a newbie with a mechanical keyboard.
The article is not very long, please bookmark it so that you don't get lost when you need it.

I don't know why I suddenly became very interested in mechanical keyboards from the mass-produced brown switch keyboards, and began to pay attention to customization. I probably thought it was fun, "customization", "DIY", and making a mechanical keyboard by myself. Your very own keyboard—cool to think about. A keyboard consists of 3 parts: the kit (keyboard base), the shaft body, and the keycap. Let’s unpack the kit today.

When I was doing my homework, the kits I chose were: Fuling FL750, Aluminum Factory OG80, AKKO PC75 (5075B), Baldhead 75V5, and Heiji Snake DK84. I can only say that I am dedicated to the 75% configuration. Finally, I bought the Heiji Snake DK84 because of the battery capacity, price and marquee considerations.

1. Fuling FL750: 83-key three-mode, 4000mAh battery is the top three in the three-digit kit, the price is about 500 yuan (including the mechanical switch)

The reason why I didn't choose it is that it is bundled with the Kaihua Box axis, and the selection range is a bit small.

2. Aluminum factory iQnix OG80: 80-key three-mode, black warrior + TTC silver switch, is a combination that boys will like very much.

The reason why I didn't choose it is that my family members don't play keyboards, but... four digits are so expensive TAT

3. AKKO PC75: 82-key three-mode, TTC gold powder switch, this is a girl's love.

It's just that 700+ is still a bit expensive, and it limits the range of mechanical switches. --excuse me.

4. Handu (bald head) 75V5: 84-key three-mode, the difficulty of assembly is moderate, and those with strong hands-on ability can change the mahjong sound. And the volume knob in the upper right corner is very distinctive. The price/performance ratio of about 300 yuan is also very high.

5. Heiji snake DK84: 84-key three-mode, the price of about 200 yuan is 100 cheaper than the bald brother, so I chose it instead of the bald brother.

X． Langpai CIY68: 68-key dual-mode (no RGB), if you don’t consider light pollution and just use it with mechanical switches for personalized use, this kit can be said to be very cost-effective for less than 100 yuan. I plan to get this kit to be used as a temporary shaft tester in the future, and it also has a storage function, which is more cabbage than a serious mechanical shaft storage box.

The above selection is a reference for beginners. If you want to be more convenient, choose 1~3, and you will get a complete keyboard, saving time and effort. If you want more fun (tossing), you can choose 4 or 5.

The outer packaging of this Heiji Snake DK84 is very simple, a white airplane box, and the keyboard in the state of colorful lights is printed on the box cover. When you open the package, you can see the keyboard body. ▼

The configuration of this set of kits is quite complete, which includes: a 2-in-1 shaft/key puller, Type-C data cable, warranty card, and a small cleaning brush (some say it is a shaft brush? ▼

Complete accessories ▼

This Heiji Snake DK84 adds a row of F keys on the basis of the standard 75% arrangement, which is very convenient for people like me who don’t like to use Fn keys. The compact key spacing makes its area only 31.2×12.1cm, it doesn’t take up much desktop space. The overall design is pure white, which can basically be matched with various light-colored keycaps, and it can look simple/cute no matter what. In terms of details, the positioning board with white matte paint is very good in workmanship.

The large space key is filled with thickened silicone strips, which can reduce the noise of the large keys to a certain extent. ▼

The height is only 4cm, with its own slope, making typing more comfortable. ▼

There is a sliding lock on the back, which can switch between 2.4G, Bluetooth and wired, and the 2.4G receiver is also stored on the back. ▼

The storage compartment of the 2.4G receiver is magnetically designed, and the details are very careful. ▼

The foot support adopts a two-stage structure, which can adapt to personal typing habits according to whether there is a hand rest and the height of the keycap when typing, and adjust the angle and height of the keyboard. ▼

In addition, there is a Type-C interface on the side. ▼

1. Full-key hot-swappable, you can freely replace the shaft body you want to try, and the difficulty of getting started is almost zero. ▼

2. The factory comes with sound-absorbing cotton; the interlayer contains sound-absorbing silicone pads, and the factory comes with sound-cancelling, which greatly reduces the difficulty of newbies playing keyboards, and eliminates a major reason for persuasion in the later stage: choosing various sound-absorbing materials. ▼

Package structure

This DK84 kit, the first feeling when you pick it up is that it is quite heavy. Its weight is a little over 500g, plus a few 80 shafts... That means this keyboard is probably only suitable for office or home, not very suitable. Take it with you when you go out. ▼

In terms of advantages, its operation difficulty is very small, and its playability is very high. I would like to call it the king of rolls at a price of 100 yuan. The price of 200 yuan is equipped with a 3000mAh battery and sound-absorbing cotton. The satellite shaft is also moisturized. The conscience of the industry. Turn on the 2.4G to see the factory default lights, the brightness and color are great. ▼

If you are not familiar with the keyboard, you can refer to the manual to press the shaft and install the keycap. The installation is also very simple. If you are a "hybrid axis" like me, you can first place it on it to match the position and quantity, and then put it into the pit (pay attention to the direction of the axis). If it is a unified axis, it will be easier to handle. Just look at the quasi-direction and press it up. ▼

I have tested 4 kinds of mechanical axes (including linear axes and paragraph axes) in my own hands. In fact, it is not necessary to add cushioning and sound-absorbing cotton or bubble mud for personal sense. The cavity sound is not very obvious, especially The linear axis of the Gott Lime axis is relatively soft and quiet in terms of feel and sound. In the case of tea-like shafts, a layer of silicone film on the surface is the so-called "mahjong sound", and there is no need to troubleshoot the shaft by yourself.

Of course, for advanced players, you can also remove the base and add masking paper and shaft mounts in the later stage to adjust the typing sound and feel that you prefer.

As a mechanical keyboard kit, the Heiji Snake DK84 is very cost-effective. In terms of hardware configuration, there are wired, 2.4G, and Bluetooth three-mode links, a variety of RGB lighting effects, and dual-segment foot supports. It comes with sound-absorbing cotton and the large keys are moisturized at the factory, which basically meets the needs of daily office and games. As an entry-level kit, its price is also very friendly. It optimizes the hardware and accessories as much as possible in the price of 200+. own" example.

I am a peach tree in Loudong. I hope this sharing can be helpful to you. History out of the box:

It is a bit interesting to record buying this keyboard. The keyboards used by computers range from ordinary membrane keyboards to mechanical keyboards with RGB, and then back to ordinary keyboards. It seems to use it or go back to the most original ordinary keyboard.

Let me tell you why I went back to using a normal keyboard and living at home. At the beginning, I used a normal keyboard worth 10 yuan, and gradually felt that some various functions are quite interesting, so I wanted to change to a new one to experience it, so I changed it. mechanical keyboard.

In exchange for a mechanical keyboard with RGB, it is also the most expensive keyboard personally bought. There are several problems that make me not want to buy it for home use:

1. The light emitted by the keyboard at night is light pollution, and I feel uncomfortable, so the light is always turned off when I buy it. After all, any button can be pressed with closed eyes even when the computer is used now.

2. There are children at home who come to play, no matter what time of day, they always come to take a few pictures. It is fun to watch the lights flashing back and forth, and it hurts to see myself. I was afraid that it would be ruined all of a sudden.

3. The crackling sound of typing late at night, I am afraid that it will affect the rest of the family.

So if you want to replace the keyboard this time, you should choose an ordinary one. The price doesn’t need to be too expensive, there are two types in the shopping cart:

The first is Logitech's MK220 wireless keyboard and mouse package, which costs 85 yuan per year.

The second is the Dell wired keyboard KB216+MS116 keyboard and mouse package, which costs 53 yuan per year.

I choose a wireless key mouse because I want to connect it to the TV to play games occasionally. This is a demand, but children hate electronic products with batteries. There are a lot of dry batteries at home, and they are everywhere. It is better to buy rechargeable ones. So forget it, and finally chose the second one.

Add to cart for a long time

I wish you all a happy life!

Nowadays, many friends have equipped their computers with mechanical keyboards. It seems that it is difficult to innovate in this field, but the newly launched Rapoo V700DIY has changed my point of view.

Can mechanical keyboards be related to DIY? How is it achieved?

It is not uncommon to change keycaps. Colored keycaps and customized PBT keycaps are enough to personalize but cannot change the feel. Rapoo’s V700DIY keyboard has changed the switch. The original Rapoo independent silver switch can be easily removed. , replaced with another white switch with shorter key travel and faster response, making the commonly used keys of gamers sharper and faster.

In addition to changing the shaft, other indicators of this keyboard are also remarkable, such as PBT double-color injection keycaps, RGB backlight, key line separation structure, and the volume knob and multimedia shortcut keys that are hard to see on most keyboards... For a keyboard that costs less than 300 yuan, it's hard to point out what's wrong with it.

May Day is coming soon, so if your vacation plan includes staying at home or writing articles, you might as well treat yourself to a new equipment.

The first impression of Rapoo V700DIY is that it is simple and refreshing. The pure white keycaps and the silver aluminum alloy top cover make the overall texture very good.

There is an over-the-shoulder design on the upper right of the keyboard, on which there are 4 function switching buttons, keyboard indicator lights and a scroll wheel. This design makes the keyboard unique and individual.

I have several friends who say that the mechanical scroll wheel is much more comfortable to use than the buttons when adjusting the volume. There are not many keyboards with mechanical scroll wheels these days.

Rapoo V700DIY adopts a suspension design. The light-transmitting two-color injection-molded PBT keycap has a delicate touch, and the details such as the spout rough edges are unambiguous, which is indeed the quality of a major manufacturer.

In terms of the shaft body, the Rapoo V700DIY is equipped with the Rapoo independent fast silver shaft when it leaves the factory. This is a linear shaft body. It is a switch with light pressure and quick trigger, which can better take into account office and game scenes.

It is worth mentioning that this keyboard of Rapoo can also change the shaft, so the attached key puller also has some characteristics, it is a double-headed structure, and the end in the shape of metal tweezers is specially used for changing the shaft.

In this way, the shaft body can be taken out with a single click.

As a mechanical keyboard that supports hot-swapping, changing the switch to experience a different feel is definitely something every player will try. Rapoo V700DIY adopts a standard five-legged axle seat, which is compatible with most customized axles of brands on the market, such as cherry, TTC, Kaihua and so on. According to the official data given by Rapoo, the life of plugging and unplugging the shaft seat reaches 10,000 times, so there is basically no need to worry about frequent plugging and unplugging will damage the shaft seat.

Let's take a look at another shaft of Rapoo - Rapoo's own KA-12 Rapoo white shaft. It is not difficult to guess from the name that this is a shaft that mainly focuses on the feel of Q bullets.

There are 12 pieces in the box. I am thinking about which places are suitable for replacement. The commonly used keys for games, ASDFQWER, and four direction keys, are exactly 12 pieces.

The process of changing the shaft is very simple, so I won't go into details.

After a careful experience, the white shaft of the Rapoo bullet is also a linear shaft body, with a total stroke of 3.4mm, a trigger stroke of 1.2mm, and a trigger pressure of 35g. It is a light pressure shaft that bottoms out early. The pressure is more suitable for fast-paced games, while office typing is too sensitive.

In general, whether it is the original Rapoo Quick Silver switch or the optional Rapoo White switch, they all show a very high level, with almost no problems in terms of smoothness, stability and noise control. But picky, it really gave enough surprises.

I also found that these switches are fairly quiet.

This is a wired keyboard, in order to facilitate portability and installation, it adopts a key wire separation structure.

The interface part is USB-C, which is in line with the trend, and there is no need to worry about reverse insertion.

Install Rapoo's special driver, and also program the 104 keys independently. Through the settings, you can individually design combination keys, basic functions, etc. for the 104 keys, and you can also set the lights independently.

Rapoo V700DIY provides as many as 12 kinds of multimedia shortcut functions in Win system, through the combination of Fn+F1~F12, you can quickly switch between media playback, volume adjustment and other functions.

When it comes to lighting, Rapoo V700DIY provides quite a variety of RGB lighting modes. In the office mode, it supports 18 lighting modes such as blooming flowers, drifting with the flow, breathing mode, and stepping on the snow without trace. It also supports custom lighting in the game mode mode, you can independently set the color of the magic light with a single button, and customize a unique lighting effect.

For a keyboard at this price, it is really sincere to be able to give such a rich lighting effect.

In addition, the light brightness and volume control can be easily adjusted through the V2 key, and the V3 key can directly mute and turn off the sound with one key.

The price of this Rapoo V700DIY hot-swappable RGB backlit gaming mechanical keyboard is less than 300 yuan. Compared with other customized keyboards with interchangeable shafts, it has a great price advantage. The feel of the cap, the feel of the switch body, RGB light effects and drivers, the Rapoo V700DIY has shown a good level. If you are interested in a customized mechanical keyboard with interchangeable switches, then the Rapoo V700DIY is a very worthwhile attempt.
