As a new generation of social animals, the keyboard can be said to be an essential accessory for work. Whether it is typing and writing or e-sports games, a good keyboard will have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. And with the aggravation of keyboard homogeneity, how to have a personalized keyboard that belongs to oneself just seems particularly important.

Since the beginning of its birth, the brand Lofree has captured many audiences with its super-high appearance, and I am one of them. Not long ago, I was introduced by a friend and bought the Lofree small warp keyboard. The difference is that it supports high customization, such as keycap layout, shaft body, keycap pattern, etc. This time I chose the 68-key layout + Jiadalong G yellow axis Pro + worker-themed keycaps.

The product is divided into three packages, namely the keycap, keyboard base and shaft body. After disassembling, the first feeling is that this is not a semi-finished product? As everyone knows, this is the fun of DIY players. The included accessories are very simple: a data cable, a shaft puller, three AAA batteries, and an instruction manual.

I used to type and write a lot of manuscripts, and I like the crisp sound and paragraph feeling of the green switch. This time I chose the Jiadalong G yellow switch, which is quieter and softer in the typing feel, suitable for office use. In addition, Xiaoqiao also supports "full key hot swapping", and friends who like customization can also change the shaft body at any time.

There are no special precautions when installing, just align the contact pins of the shaft body with the vacancy. It is worth mentioning that the four keys of Space, Shift, Enter, and Back all adopt the design of satellite axis, which is convenient for long-term use.

The keycap I chose is the theme of a worker, and the main color of white, blue and green is in line with the atmosphere of midsummer.

In addition, Luofei also provides a variety of keycap styles to choose from, and there must be a style you like. Search the mini-program "Luo Fei Build" on WeChat, and you can DIY your own keyboard in it.

This time I chose the 68-key version, because it was a full-featured keyboard before, and the 68-key version is more convenient to carry. The specific measurements are 310×109×51.5mm, and the layout is compact, but the commonly used buttons are reserved. The combination of number keys and Fn keys can also realize the functions of F1-F12, and daily use will not be affected.

The origin of Luofei Xiaoqiao is related to its shape. From the side view, its tilted design is rare in the field of mechanical keyboards. Such a design is firstly recognizable, and secondly, it is a more ergonomic design language, so that Reduce wrist pull when typing, thereby improving input efficiency.

And the protruding space on the back is not just a decoration, the battery compartment and the storage compartment of the 2.4G receiver are also designed inside, which can kill two birds with one stone.

A closer look at the ball cap is also quite interesting. First of all, it adopts the exclusive SA ball cap of Luofei. The final touch area reaches 90%, which is more suitable for Asian hands. The surface of the keycaps has been frosted, no matter which color it is, the feel and texture are very good.

The front of the keyboard has Luo Fei's English logo, which highlights the brand's attribution.

The adjustment knob is innovatively designed on the side of the battery compartment at the bottom, where you can switch the keyboard and adjust the Bluetooth and 2.4G links.

In terms of functionality, Xiaoqiao supports three connection methods: Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless and wired. Adapt to multi-system devices, whether it is a desktop, notebook, tablet or mobile phone, it can be easily adapted. In addition, Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android systems can also be easily handled, and multiple devices can also be easily switched.

In terms of battery life, Lofree is powered by three AAA batteries. According to Lofree’s data, the battery life is about one month in normal use. However, I am not pursuing the so-called wireless desktop, and I may buy one later. A retro retractable data cable to wire the keyboard.

After using it for more than half a month, let me talk about the overall feeling. Firstly, the appearance value cannot be rejected, and the personalized customization can better show the attitude of the user; secondly, it is only multi-device connection and fast switching, a keyboard can improve production very well. Efficiency; the last is the typing feel that everyone pays attention to. It is flickable and soft, and the sound is well controlled. Even if you type quickly, it will not affect others. Like me writing a manuscript in the office, the colleagues sitting next to me will not feel very noisy.

Summary: Luofei Xiaoqiao inherits the family-style good looks, but personalized customization will enrich the user's choices. Even if you get tired of aesthetics in the end, you can get a new keyboard by replacing the switch body and keycap. , while saving costs, it is also unique, why not do it?

That's right! It is also the flagship of the optical short axis!

On July 26, the Razer DEATHSTALKER V2 series keyboards were officially released, which are divided into wired version, wireless version (104 keys) and wireless competitive version (87 keys).

All three are equipped with Razer’s own low-end optical switches. The wireless version and the wireless competitive version both support Razer™ HyperSpeed ​​wireless technology 2.4G + three-device Bluetooth 5.0. They come with all-metal multi-function dials and multimedia buttons, and the battery life reaches 40 hours respectively. And 50 hours, can be described as the best.

▲Real shot of Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 equipped with optical short switch (linear red switch) + ABS low switch keycap with scratch-resistant and oil-resistant coating.

▲The ultra-short shaft body brings a sufficiently slim body shape to Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2. The all-aluminum top cover and the exclusive RGB of the lamp factory make the desktop scenery unique and the tapping experience is also very comfortable.

More pictures and real shots, detailed evaluation is here! In this short article, I will take you to take a glimpse of the beauty of this low-axis flagship of the lamp factory. The article is divided into two parts: unboxing and experience, and strive to give you a comprehensive analysis.

The Razer held by Bidian Coolplay is a 104-key wireless version of the Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 Pro with a numeric keypad area, full-size + wireless three-mode.

Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 PRO is made of very solid materials. The 5052 aviation-grade aluminum alloy top cover is used, and the black satin finish that has been anodized is both scratch-resistant and anti-corrosion, and has strong durability.

The shape is compact and simple, the side panel and forehead are all streamlined, with the Razer optical low axis, the N key has no punch, the thickness of the keyboard is only 18.4mm, and the net weight is only 1.03kg, with a slim and neat appearance.

The actual measurement of the height of the support feet of the first gear and the second gear is about 24mm and 32mm respectively. Compared with the conventional full-size keyboard, the difference in thickness is very obvious (the supporting legs are not extended, the thickness of the Razer Soul Eater V2 Pro on the left is 18mm, and the conventional wireless keyboard on the right is 34mm).

In addition to the manual and the Razer stickers, the accessories are a USB-A to USB-C charging cable (detachable braided fiber material) and an A to C adapter, which can be used with the cable to achieve a 2.4G receiver extension.

Three-stage support feet, 5 large-area foot pads, the front end is slightly convex with an elegant curved surface transition, and the integrated design texture on the back is very strong. One side of the support leg hides the storage compartment of the 2.4G signal receiver.

The USB receiver condensed to the limit can use Razer™HyperSpeed ​​to realize a receiver connected to 2 Razer peripherals at the same time, so it can solve the problem of insufficient USB ports.

Razer provides two types of low-axis optical switches for Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2, including the linear red switch in my hand, and another "paragraph purple switch".

The total stroke of the linear red axis of the Razer optical short switch is 2.8mm, the trigger stroke is 1.4mm, and the trigger force is 45g. The force is 50g, and the service life of both keys has reached 70 million times.

I still remember the last time I came into contact with the light axis Razer Hunting Light Spider from the light factory. Now the optical axis is shorter, the trigger is faster, and the rebound has zero delay, keeping pace with the performance of the optical axis at full height, with a lifespan of 70 million times and super durability.

The difference between the Razer optical switch and the traditional mechanical key switch is that there are fewer internal moving parts, and there is no need for metal contacts to trigger, but to use light shielding to achieve signal transmission. What you do, just press the key shaft, the shaft blocks the beam to trigger the signal, so compared to the signal triggering of physical contact, the delay is lower and the trigger speed is faster.

The ABS keycaps used in the Razer Soul Eater V2 PRO have a scratch-resistant and wear-resistant coating. Compared with ordinary two-color injection keycaps, the keycaps with ultra-durable coating are not easy to fade and wear for a long time .

The characters on the keycaps are laser-etched, the fonts are finer and clearer, and the light transmission is uniform and bright.

A small detail is that the auxiliary punctuation characters next to the main characters are also laser-etched. They can be easily recognized under the RGB backlight, and they are still clearly visible after the backlight is turned off.

Now that the wireless three-mode is done, it must be practical at the ceiling level, as you can see after seeing the top test button area of ​​​​the Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 PRO.

In these two pictures, the rightmost switch is the Bluetooth-OFF (wired) + 2.4G wireless switch; the far left is the Type-C cable/charging interface and 2 indicator lights (signal/battery status). There are 3 Bluetooth device shortcut keys, which can quickly switch up to 3 devices bound to the keyboard. There is no need for cumbersome operations in a multi-purpose scenario, such as notebook + tablet + mobile phone, and the keyboard is used to switch between 3 devices, just one click just fine. Once the keyboard is out of power, plug in the cable and use it while charging, and the indicator light next to it will be solid green when it is fully charged.

It stands to reason that the RGB lighting effect consumes a lot of power, but the Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 PRO professional version packs a large-capacity battery into the slim body, and can work continuously for 40 hours under the 50% brightness cycle spectrum lighting effect. For the 87-key TKL wireless competitive version, the battery life can reach 50 hours, which is far higher than the 30-hour battery life generally in the industry, which can be said to be quite PRO. You can also press Fn+Pause to activate the automatic sleep function at ordinary times, which is more than enough for daily game entertainment and office study.

Normally, you can press Fn+F11 or F12 to decrease/increase the brightness of the RGB lighting effect, or you can press Fn+End to check the remaining battery power of the keyboard. At this time, the 5 indicator lights (C1SMG) on the direction keys will change to a battery percentage indicator. Each lit light indicates 20% power, and you can also tell from the color of the light whether it needs to be charged (green>yellow>orange>red).

The multimedia key + metal scroll wheel above the small keyboard area is also one of the signatures of the Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2. The multimedia keys support single, double, and triple clicks, and the default corresponds to play/pause, next song, and previous song; the scroll wheel defaults to roll up volume +, and press the scroll wheel to mute. I have to say that the texture and feel of both are very good.

Not long after getting started, I feel deeply. After all, it is a short switch. Switching from a full-height mechanical key switch, I was a little uncomfortable with this high-speed feedback at first, but the comfort of my fingers quickly spread, and I shouted really fragrant.

The biggest feeling is that the key travel is reduced, the trigger speed is faster, and the feel is very solid. The linear red switch has a built-in silicon damper, and Razer has made careful adjustments for it. With a trigger force of 45g, it is not sticky or sticky when pressed, the key sound is not loud, and the touch is balanced and stable. 2.8mm short shaft key travel, the feeling of straight up and down is the most direct, the previous Cherry tea switch paragraph feeling disappeared. The feedback of the key shaft, coupled with the layout of the ergonomic design, the hands are not tired after typing for a long time, and the code word is very smooth. At present, it is more comfortable for me to use the first gear support foot, and I don’t feel sore wrist when typing large characters for half an hour.

Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 takes into account both e-sports games and office scenes. It also supports "game mode" when playing games. The independent multimedia dial and control keys, as well as the rich Fn function shortcut keys greatly improve the control efficiency.

Of course, there is also the Synapse Leiyun 3 driver software exclusive to the lighting factory. All Razer devices are interconnected in one. With the help of Razer Chroma, the synchronization of magic lighting effects and more custom settings can be set. Almost every button can be customized independently, and Set 16.8 million custom colors, and can also cooperate with a variety of Razer devices such as mice to achieve a super fast input or control experience.

The lighting setting interface can adjust the brightness and set the lighting effect to sleep. RGB is similar to other Razer lighting devices, and it is divided into quick effects and CHROMA advanced settings.

These preset lighting effects can also be quickly realized directly on the keyboard with Fn+Ctrl+numbers 1 to 7.

At present, the mouse used by Bidian Coolplay is Razer Baselis Snake V3 wired version. As shown in the figure below, the lighting effects of the two can be set as one and synchronized, such as the overall wave effect, lighting effect speed, rolling angle and other detailed options. Everything is available, and the playability is very high.

On the Thundercloud 3 driver, you can also check the remaining power of the keyboard, set the dimming effect and the sleep time of the node.

The Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 also supports mixed onboard memory, and can store up to 5 configuration files on the keyboard, which can be quickly switched. Through Leiyun 3, configuration files can also be linked to different games. Come on, the four-character secret realm of "Yuanshin God" V2.8 has just been completed, let's decrypt the 9 forms of Wanye Shuangshan together!

Slim and good-looking, with solid materials, I was looking forward to owning a full-size slim wireless keyboard with lights before. This Razer masterpiece is really worth my long wait.

As a wireless three-mode keyboard, the Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 PRO has a longer battery life than similar keyboards on the market, and the light effect and detail quality are outstanding, especially its zero-delay and high-feedback optical low switch, which makes the control experience more comfortable. Even better, there should be no rival so far, and it will fulfill the mission of the flagship. Personally, I think that the Razer Soul Eater Golden Scorpion V2 is very suitable for keyboard players who pursue peace and quality. The 104-key wireless version is more suitable for office and game compatible scenarios; if you like e-sports, you can also directly use the 87-key TKL version. After combining my 104-key with Baselis Snake V3, the desktop is complete.

It is worth mentioning that although this keyboard is mainly for PC users, it is also compatible with MacOS. It only needs to do a few key mappings after initialization, and supports RGB lighting effect hotkey switching. For fruit fans, it would be even better if Thundercloud 3 could also support macOS. I am Bidian Coolplay, this is the end of this detailed keyboard review, see you in the next issue!

I have seen many big guys on the site recommend mechanical keyboards. It has been a long time since I planted grass. Last year, I bought one for the office. A while ago, I used a laptop when I was working at home. Since it is used with a notebook computer, the requirements are compact, wireless, stable quality, and high cost performance.

After a long wait of more than 1 month, it's here! My Rapoo V700-8A three-mode mechanical keyboard is finally here!

The outer packaging of the machine allows you to see the style of the keyboard intuitively, and there are instructions in multiple languages ​​​​on the back and sides. Basically, you can get a general idea from the packaging.

After unpacking, there are keyboard body, quick guide, 2.4G receiver, charging cable of Type-C interface, and a key puller.

The model of my keyboard is Rapoo V700-8A Lonely Warrior. The overall color of the keyboard is black and dark gray. The overall color is relatively calm. The orange of the ESC key becomes a small embellishment. It also fits well with my computer, and the size is quite suitable, much smaller than my 16-inch laptop.

The overall keyboard is relatively thick, the floating keyboard and the base of the aluminum alloy frame look and feel quite textured.

On the back of the keyboard, there are power switch, feet for height adjustment and 4 large non-slip pads. The outside of the foot support is also specially wrapped with rubber material, which can not only prevent slipping, but also prevent scratching the desktop

Due to the limited interface of the laptop, the first choice is the Bluetooth connection. After turning on the computer, press and hold the FN+1 key for 3 seconds, and the computer will automatically pop up a reminder. Press the prompt to connect to the computer. Bluetooth supports 5.0 and 3.0 modes.

Other 2.4G and wired connections are very simple, but all need to occupy a USB interface. The keyboard can be connected to up to 5 devices, and you can switch between Bluetooth 1/Bluetooth 2/Bluetooth 3/2.4G mode/wired mode by pressing FN+1/2/3/4/5 for 3 seconds to meet different needs.

The difference in the height of the keyboard is still quite obvious.

The keyboard shaft is black, and the official said that the pressure is 60±20cN, which is theoretically not suitable for long-term typing scenes, but I use this time to see, it is not so exaggerated, normal office typing can still be used, and the key sounds Not too big. The keys adopt a conflict-free design. In the wired mode, it supports arbitrary input of 84 keys on the full keyboard, and supports simultaneous input of 6 keys in the wireless mode.

The keyboard supports 7 groups of backlight effects and 4 levels of backlight brightness. You can adjust the lighting mode through the shortcut key Fn + the right Ctrl key, Fn + ↑ or ↓ to adjust the brightness, and Fn + ← or → to adjust the light frequency. You can also download the driver on the official website, which can program all 84 keys, and supports custom settings for onboard storage and cloud storage.

The lighting effect of the keyboard is quite dazzling. Personally, I finally use the "single lighting mode", that is, which key is pressed, which key will be lit, so that it has both lighting effects and relatively low power consumption.

The keyboard has a built-in 4000ml battery, uses a Type-C port, and supports charging and use at the same time. It can be used wirelessly for 25-255 hours when fully charged. This battery life mainly depends on whether the backlight is turned on. Calculated by using 5 hours a day, it can theoretically be used for up to nearly 2 months. When charging, the LOGO on the keyboard will light up in red, and when fully charged, the red light will turn off.

Generally speaking, the three-mode mechanical keyboard of the Rapoo V700-8A Lonely Warrior is still very good, and it can meet my needs for using it with a laptop~

It has a compact size, exquisite workmanship, and a good keyboard feel; the three connection methods, especially the Bluetooth connection, have solved the problem of insufficient interfaces on my laptop; the battery life of up to 2 months also saves Eliminate the trouble of frequent charging. The black switch is said to be designed for games, but it is also good for office use. Although there is no numeric keypad, it is small and compact enough to be carried in a backpack on occasional long-term business trips. Of course, if the keyboard with this compact layout can It's even more perfect with a numeric keypad!
