A long time ago, Luo Fei's keyboard was often seen in shopping malls in Hangzhou. At that time, I was shopping in the mall with my girlfriend, and Luo Fei planted grass easily. I’m an old Luofei user. I remember that Luofei’s Duck Duck keyboard with small dots was the most famous one at that time. I spent a long time saving money to buy one. Since then, I have fallen deeply into the pit of the Luofei keyboard and cannot climb out.
(picture taken many years ago)
Later, I was deeply attracted by the appearance of Luofei 1% Vitality Orange, and bought the transparent keyboard 1% Vitality Orange again. I have to say, the vitality orange is really beautiful!
Fortunately, this time I got the new rainbow-designed keyboard of the Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 series series in advance. This keyboard is the first time I have used Luofei's 100 series keyboard, and it is also the first time I have come into contact with Luofei's Xiaoqiao series. , then let us take a look at this little rainbow~
Luofei's outer packaging is also very beautiful. The appearance of Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 Rainbow Keyboard is printed on the paper box around the periphery.
Its outer packaging is also designed very carefully, adding a lot of hand-painted elements.
The built-in package is a white box with a silver Lophy keyboard pattern printed on the front.
After opening the package, what is inside is the main body of Luofei Xiaoqiao Rainbow 100.
The accessories are very simple, a white data cable, it is worth noting that this is L-shaped with the data cable, which can effectively avoid the damage of the data cable caused by bending during use.
There is also a metal iron frame, the iron frame is installed on the keyboard, and some ornaments can be placed on it.
Just to mention a little bit, Luofei’s keycap device is the best-looking one among all the keyboards I have used. The color matching and design sense are really good. But unfortunately, there is no bonus in this keyboard. This key puller is included in the Luofei theme keycap set that I bought before. You can also take a look at Luofei's theme keycap set, which is also quite good.
There are also three AAA batteries included in the package. Yes, this keyboard is powered by batteries and does not support charging.
Speaking of Luofei's keyboard, what can't be separated from it is its appearance design. The Xiaoqiao Rainbow series launched this time is also inspired by the rainbow.
The keycaps of the entire keyboard are composed of eight colors, and the colors used in each part, row and column are also different. On some special function buttons, different color designs are also used.
In addition to the special color composition of the keycap, the pattern printed on it is also very cute, which highlights the audience of this keyboard.
The switch part of the keyboard is also full of sense of design, because it adopts a small warped design, so the switch is naturally designed on the edge of the raised pad, and it is also a knob design, compared to many keyboards where the switch is designed on the back. Said that this kind of design on the side is still a knob, which is much more convenient in switching modes.
However, the accuracy of the indication is a bit off. The pointer is half a division longer than the current mode. I hope Luo Fei can improve this design in subsequent products.
The bottom plate of the keyboard is made of ABS material. Compared with the little yellow duck keyboard I bought before, the surface treatment of particles is added to the Xiaoqiao Rainbow, which reflects a unique texture.
Because it adopts a three-mode design, this seems to be one of the few three-mode keyboards designed by Luo Fei, and the 2.4G receiver is hidden in the battery compartment. This 2.4G receiver actually has Luo Fei's logo on it. I have to say that the design is really detailed.
As mentioned earlier, Luofei's model supports three-mode connection, Bluetooth, 2.4G and wired. In Bluetooth mode, it can also record the connection records of three devices, and supports fast switching between up to 5 devices. The measured overall delay is relatively small.
Take a look at the keycap of Luofei Xiaoqiao 100. It adopts the sublimation process. In the process of daily use, the oiling is relatively rare. It has been ten days since I got this key. I have been using it for a long time, and I have been suffering from oil and sweating, but so far, the keycaps are in good condition.
The dye-sublimation process can better reflect the layering of color patterns, and can also improve durability in terms of practicality. This kind of good-looking keyboard, the most feared thing is that it will be worn out. The sublimation process is equivalent to printing the pattern on the keycap on the keycap, which is more durable.
Another pity is that this keyboard does not have a backlight design. It may be that Luo Fei thinks that the rainbow keycaps are already very good-looking, and the lighting may be a bit overwhelming. But the caps key still has an indicator light with a small white dot.
Through careful observation, the indicator light of this small white dot is actually made of a small hole on the keycap to achieve the effect of the light coming through.
(It can be seen from the strong light that it is a perforated design)
Let’s talk about the lower switch body. The switch body used by Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 is the red switch Pro from Jiadalong. The trigger force is relatively small when used, and the sound of tapping is quite different from other red switch keyboards. Yes, I recorded a video below, you can listen to it.
Xiaoqiao Xiaoqiao, the name is mainly because the edge of the keyboard is raised, which is different from the way the general keyboard raises the foot pad. It can be seen that although the inclination angle of the ordinary keyboard has increased, the contact angle between the keyboard and the hand has not changed.
And Xiaoqiao means that the entire keyboard presents an upward warping style. With such a design, it is more ergonomic during use, and can also reduce the fatigue caused by long-term coding.
As a whole, Xiaoqiao, as a mechanical keyboard that focuses on ergonomic design, is more than enough to meet the daily office needs of migrant workers, and even to a certain extent, it can be regarded as a good helper for migrant workers.
The disassembly of Luo Fei is not difficult. There are seven screws that can be seen through the gaps between the keys. Pull out the keycaps near the corresponding screws to remove the screws.
However, when pulling out the keycap, I found that the connection between the keycap and the shaft body was very firm, and the shaft body was pulled out together.
After disassembling the keyboard, you can see that the main part of the keyboard is composed of three parts. Steel plate layer, silicone sandwich cushion layer and the bottom PCB layer.
It is worth mentioning that the silicone sandwich layer used in the middle can better eliminate the cavity sound generated when the big keys are struck, and improve the user experience to a higher level.
The overall material is still good. You can see that there is a fixed glue on the power supply interface, which can effectively prevent the keyboard from being disconnected.
Overall, the Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 Rainbow keyboard not only takes into account the appearance, but also takes into account relatively strong efficiency. With 100 configuration, more keys can be stuffed in a relatively small body size, especially the small keyboard, which is very friendly to many accountants and design people.
Isn't Valentine's Day coming? I just gave it to you as a Valentine's Day gift. Girls will love it!
After using it for a period of time, I prefer this kind of design with warped edges, but I also have a little regret that there is no footrest to adjust the height. I hope this design can be improved in the future.
