In the past two years, mechanical keyboards have become more and more popular among college students and office workers; since the small layout keyboard occupies only 60% of the desktop space of traditional keyboards, it optimizes the desktop space and increases the appearance and cleanliness of the desktop, so small The attention of multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboards is getting higher and higher. Among the small mechanical keyboards, the villagers love the 84 layout, and 60% of the keyboard length integrates all the keys we need to use every day.



So what are the good choices for entry-level 84-arranged three-mode wireless mechanical keyboards? The villagers chose the new product recently launched by Rapoo - V700-8A multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboard. Why choose it? 84 configuration, three-mode connection, 225-hour battery life, two-color keycaps, multi-mode backlight, and full-key programmable are all very practical functions. Let’s unbox and experience it with everyone.




The packaging texture of the Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboard is good. The packaging style is the familiar Rapoo style, blue and black, with the rendering of the keyboard in the middle, which allows us to see the whole picture of the keyboard at a glance. Quickly distinguish the selected keyboard color, after all, it is very important to play with the color matching of mechanical keyboard keycaps.




White characters with blue background is also the consistent packaging design style of Rapoo brand, which is clean and neat.




Family portrait: keyboard body, Type-C data cable, 2.4G wireless receiver, key puller and instruction manual; there is no dust cover in the package, which is a bit regrettable.





The Rapoo V700-8A keyboard has three official colors: Lonely Brave, Mecha Purple and No Man's Land. The villagers chose their favorite no-man's land, which is not too ostentatious and not suitable for refinement, and is very suitable for use in the office. Mecha purple may be more suitable for girls or for home use.



84 layout design, the overall size is only 310×120×35.5mm, only 60% of the volume of the traditional 104 keyboard, which greatly saves the limited desktop space in daily use.



The frame of the Rapoo V700-8A keyboard is made of aluminum alloy, with CNC trimming + sandblasting and oxidation process, and the design of floating keys, which makes the overall keyboard a little industrial style. It looks full of texture and feels smooth to the touch. .




This V-shaped logo is the exclusive logo of Rapoo V series products, which is more refined against the metal frame of Rapoo V700-8A. In addition, this logo light can be set or turned off.




The Type-C charging port of the keyboard is located on the left side of the aluminum alloy frame, but it is a pity that the whole body of the keyboard is not set to the storage port of the 2.4G receiver. I hope it can be added in the future.




The switch of the keyboard is set on the back of the keyboard, built-in 4000mAh capacity lithium battery, the longest battery life can reach 225 hours on a single charge, and the backlight can basically meet the working conditions of monthly charging. The four corners of the back are equipped with silicone non-slip feet and tripods, and the measured anti-slip effect is very good.




Three-mode multi-connection, one-key multi-purpose. In terms of connection, Rapoo V700-8A supports three connection modes: Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless and wired, and supports quick switching of 5 devices. FN+ number 1, 2, 3 switches Bluetooth mode, FN+ number 4 switches 2.4G wireless mode, The number 5 switches the wired mode; and in the wired mode, the 84-key full-key has no conflict, and the six-key has no conflict in the wireless mode, which can be used for office work and game.





The keycaps use the OEM height, and the gradient under standard conditions is slightly higher than the original factory height, so the two-stage foot support can also meet the usage habits of most people.




The keycap is made of two-color ABS injection molding process. The printing level of the characters is very good, the handwriting is clear, the thickness of the key wall is medium, and the burrs on the edge are not obvious except for the nozzle.




The large keys of the keyboard are designed with satellite shafts, and it is very convenient to remove and assemble the keycaps during daily cleaning. The satellite axis is adjusted fairly compactly, the handle is not fleshy, and the rebound is relatively strong.




The Rapoo V700-8A keyboard provides four Rapoo autonomous axis versions: black, red, tea, and green. The villagers have the Rapoo autonomous red axis version, with a linear axis body, a trigger stroke of 2.0±0.6mm, and a trigger of 45±15cN. The pressure and parameters are similar to Cherry red switches.




In actual use, the feel is slightly softer than Cherry Red, the sound is a little lower, the big keys are well tuned, not so fleshy, and the rebound is more powerful.




In terms of backlight, the keyboard uses a monochrome white backlight, with ABS light-transmitting keycaps, the brightness and uniformity are not bad. However, the villagers believe that since the ABS keycap is standard, it will have better performance with RGB backlight.




Compared with other keyboard drivers before, the driver of Rapoo V700-8A has a good model, the driver interface is simple and clean, and supports account login, cloud synchronization and other interactive functions. The keyboard supports full-key custom programming, and various key combinations, macro functions, and shortcut key functions can be directly edited. Villagers like to use F1 and F2 as custom buttons for copying and pasting. F3 is the button for PS to call up the Camera Raw plug-in. If you feel used to it, you can also try it.




In terms of lighting settings, the brightness of the light can be adjusted in 3 levels, and the speed of the light can be adjusted in 4 levels; on the right is the lighting mode, including constant light, breathing, curve, starry, single light, ripple and custom modes, and the Rapoo logo The light can also be set to three states: steady on, breathing and off.




After getting used to using the small array keyboard, you will find that life can be simpler!



Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboard has exquisite and stylish appearance, CNC metal frame, multi-color keycaps, three-mode connection, full-key custom programming, stable large-key adjustment, and small 84 column size are very attractive to villagers. Advantages: Rapoo's independent red switch feels very good, soft and quiet, suitable for use in university dormitories and offices.


Of course, the three-mode keyboard priced at 299 still has some shortcomings. For example, there is no storage hole for the 2.4G wireless receiver, and the backlight is monochromatic, which limits playability. But generally speaking, more than 200 multi-mode wireless mechanical keyboards have this performance, and the price/performance ratio is really high!

Foreword: Bloody Ghost is an e-sports peripheral manufacturer under Shuangfeiyan. Its products are loved by many game lovers, and I also bought a joint version of the T98 mechanical keyboard during Double Eleven. It is a joint name with the classic game Eternal Tribulation, which brings a very cool appearance. Not only is it complete in function, but also in appearance, which I like deeply. The T98 itself is used as a gaming mechanical keyboard, and it is equipped with the design of this joint version. I don't think any e-sports boy can refuse. At the same time, Bloody Ghost has also brought many classic products, which can be regarded as a very influential manufacturer. So when I choose it, I am more at ease, and the big brands have brought me better protection. Today, I will also talk to you about how this T98 keyboard is.





Appearance articles:

In terms of appearance, it can be said that every detail is well designed. The buttons are designed with game elements, not just a joint name, but adding elements directly to the design. The characters are naturally integrated with the elements of eternal calamity, and the pattern on the keyboard comes from the classic character "Ning Hongye". The overall color scheme is white and red, and the overall appearance is fashionable and cool. Equipped with the unique LT variable speed mechanism, this keyboard is more special, which is completely different from ordinary keyboards.



The package also comes with a co-branded mouse. Similarly, game elements are added to the design, which matches the entire keyboard very well. The difference is that the pattern design is the pattern of Xuanlong, which also looks very game-like. With cool lighting effects. The e-sports feel of the entire keyboard and mouse comes up. The entire mouse and keyboard adopt a red and white design, which looks very high-end and textured on the desktop. Such a set of appearance is what a mechanical keyboard should have.





Of course, except for some elements of the joint design. T98 also has its classic design elements, with its own unique elements designed on the side of the keyboard. At the same time, there are also elements of the bloody ghost on the mouse. The whole set of design not only has its own joint elements, but also does not lose its own logo. Achieved a better recognition. It can be recognized at a glance that this is a product of the Bloody Hand Ghost.







Experience:

For mechanical keyboards, most experiences are somewhat similar. And this T98 has a different design, which is also one of its strongly recommended buying points. It is the LT shift shaft, which can realize the shifting of different players with one key, and judge its level through the light effect on the keyboard. It can achieve 3 speeds and 3 feels without changing the shaft, and switch to 3 trigger strokes with one button. The 1st gear is the standard 2.0mm travel keyboard to present blue light. The 2nd gear is the stroke of 1.5mm for acceleration. The keyboard has a yellow light. 3 When the stroke is 1.0mm, the keyboard shows red light. One keyboard can meet the needs of three different players, and it will bring a good sense of game immersion, just like having three keyboards.







For a mechanical keyboard, the gaming experience is also very important. Variable speed 1 (the keyboard shows blue light) is positioned as an ordinary game player. The trigger stroke is 2.0mm, and the speed is 2.0 standard, so it can be operated better during the game. Variable speed 2 (when the keyboard shows a yellow light) At this time, the game is more suitable for e-sports players, and the trigger stroke is 1.5m, which is 50% faster than that of 2.0. It is faster when releasing moves or skills. Variable speed 3 (red light on the keyboard) is suitable for super e-sports level, and the trigger stroke of 1.0mm can instantly make the hand speed triple jump, increasing by 100%. Such a one-top-three keyboard is also rare in the market at present, which can meet the needs of different players and bring different experiences.



The principle of the LT optical axis is to precisely control the light change. The trigger and reset are almost completed at the same point. Repeated flashes increase the speed and double, and the faster hand speed is one step faster! The pressing of the axis body produces changes in the amount of light, and there are special light sensing components. Thus different speeds under different colors are realized. The 45gf press-feeling linear switch body is straight up and down, similar to the red switch feel of traditional mechanical switches, smooth and light, and stable in operation. Compared with the traditional axis body, the optical axis has a 0.5° deflection angle around the touch when the game feels more stable. When the LT button is operated quickly, it can also ensure that it does not get tired after a long press, and the rebound is fast and stable. This is also one of the core technologies of T98.



The scientific layout can effectively save desktop space. In my impression, the mechanical keyboard is big and heavy. And this T98 really changed some of my concepts. It is not designed to be large and heavy, because it adopts a 98-arrangement configuration, which saves space and ensures the integrity of use requirements. Compared with the 104 keyboard layout, it can effectively save 20% of the space. It looks a lot smaller on the desktop, which can free up more space for our desktop.





The rebound point and bottoming point of the LT optical axis are controlled by TPE soft rubber, which can effectively eliminate the noise generated by our high-intensity use, and the percussion is easier and quieter. The sound-absorbing structural sponge is also sandwiched inside the keyboard, which minimizes the cavity volume and achieves a further mute effect. The mute of the keyboard can bring a very pleasant mood. Due to the special structure of the mechanical keyboard, most of the mechanical keyboards are very loud. And the noise control of this T98 is still very good, there is no too strong percussion cavity sound. But it's not completely silent. There is also a dedicated mechanical keyboard sound, but it is smaller than other keyboards.





The bloody ghost T98 mechanical keyboard uses the well-received OEM keycaps with a thickness of 1.3mm. Through the PBT sublimation process, the surface of the keycaps is designed with ultra-fine frosted texture to ensure high purity of PBT, durable and non-greasy . Each keycap rebounds faster and more snappily. Even long hours of typing will not be tiring. The process of the game is also easier.



Full key without punching, fast lock WIN, fast multimedia, game software, key control book. These are the advantages of this bloody ghost T98, and what makes me most satisfied is the combination function of the Fn compound key, which can make my work more convenient. The key combination shortcut is my favorite point. Usually some small functions can be realized quickly, no need to click around with the mouse.







The design is more user-friendly, with a USB Type-C pluggable cable on the back and a three-way integrated cable slot. The height of the legs can be adjusted in two stages of 8°/3°. You can adjust the height of the keyboard according to your desired height.



There is a professional dust-proof and waterproof nano-coating, which can effectively protect the internal circuit board, achieve a high degree of dust-proof and waterproof, and can easily deal with daily splashes, especially on the desktop where water is easy to spill on it. If it is waterproof, it will be better Protect the keyboard to prolong the life time of use.





The mouse also adopts a lightweight design, with a weight of about 78g, without any sense of weight. Moreover, it retains the original palm grip and can be more tightly gripped when holding the mouse.







Its different reporting rates and silent heights can be adjusted on the back of the mouse. , The silent height can be adjusted in four gears. The height of the four-stage object distance can be adjusted to meet the needs of different players when they lift the mouse and turn around during the game. During the game, the sensor moves synchronously with the distance from the desktop or stops moving, and solves positioning problems such as pointer jitter, virtual drift, and sluggishness. The 12K sensor is backed by powerful e-sports game performance, and can provide 1:1 tracking analysis of 5 million displacement images, and the feedback on the screen has almost no delay, jumping marks and jitter problems. Mouse movements can be accurately tracked for responsive precision. There are also RGB lights on the back to adjust five different colors. Gaming feeling is full.











summary:

Bloody Ghost T98 is a co-branded model of Eternal Tribulation, which is very cool, and it is also the mechanical keyboard with the highest appearance in my opinion. And it also supports 3-speed, and it is also a joint model of Yongjie NBPL. Full of sexy personality. The most interesting and innovative is still the LT key. Different speed changes can be realized with one key. This is also the biggest highlight of this T98 mechanical keyboard. Gamers are well worth a try. In addition, the arrangement of 98 rooms can also save a lot of space. If you like a small mechanical keyboard, then this bloody ghost T98 can satisfy you. The material above is made of ABS material as a whole. There is a slight matte treatment on it, and it feels very comfortable to the touch. The wired design adopted can achieve real low-latency transmission. As a manufacturer of a truly old brand, this bloody ghost T98 eternal robbery co-branded model is a product full of sincerity.

When it comes to the peripheral brand of Dujia, the most well-known keyboard should be the Taurus K310/320 series, but I think few people know that Dujia’s first mechanical keyboard model is: ICE87, the Chinese name is "Glacier Eagle", Known as the "typing artifact" back then, it was jointly launched by Dujia and AKKO, and there is only one version of the Cherry MX green switch. Later, as an independent brand, Dujia officially launched its leading product - Taurus series, a cold knowledge: the appearance and mold of K320 are exactly the same as ICE87.



The Dujia brand was established in 2016. The initial product strategy was relatively conservative, and it can be clearly felt that it is to "seek success while maintaining stability". In the past few years, the button feel of many brands, especially the large keys, has been criticized from today's point of view. The Duga Taurus series keyboards were favored by players in the peripheral circle for their excellent key feel at the same time, and they were one of the few models recognized by players as "ready to use".



At the time when the domestic brand's involution trend was faintly visible, Dujia still insisted on making Cherry axis welding keyboards, but at the same time independently developed a very excellent wireless solution. Fuison's three-mode keyboard with an eye-catching design is products of this period. The dark blue color of the Hi Keys keyboard in the picture above should be evolved from Fuison’s nautical blue.



It was not until last year that Dujia launched a non-Cherry keyboard product based on the Jiadalong crystal switch - K330W, and then used hot-swappable elements on the K330W PLUS. It can be seen that Dujia's product strategy has slowly changed. . This year's K610/K620 series and the gaming-oriented G series not only have different design elements, but also differentiated designs for different user groups can be seen.



Not long ago, Dujia launched a new Hi series, Hi Keys wireless dual-mode mechanical keyboard is the first product of this series. From the more lovely and lively packaging style, we can clearly see the difference between the Hi series and other series of products.



The design of the double-layer packing box is still used, and the inside is a large piece of foam sponge, which protects the keyboard very securely.



The accessories are extremely simple, only the instruction manual and a TYPE-C port charging cable.



Hi Keys uses the familiar 84-key layout, which is the most compact 75-key arrangement and the most space-saving 75-key arrangement. Hi Keys is a wireless dual-mode mechanical keyboard. It only has two connection methods: Bluetooth and 2.4G wireless. The more compact layout and smaller size are obviously more in line with the needs of mobile portability.



I rubbed my eyes vigorously as soon as I took this keyboard out to look at it. I thought I was dazzled for a while, because it looked very much like a photo and produced a slight "drum distortion" effect. If you look carefully, you will find that the surrounding area of ​​the keyboard and the middle part of the front keycap have a slightly bulging design, which looks like an inflated fat bread.




The official explained that the design inspiration of Hi Keys comes from the shape of toast bread. From the keycap to the body, the edges and corners are sharp and fluffy, and it looks like a package ready to go.




This keyboard can automatically recognize Windows/Android system and MacOS/iOS system, and can realize automatic key switching without any manual operation. And the corresponding keycaps are designed with double characters, which is convenient for adapting to different system users.



In addition to Dailan, Hi Keys also has a silver and white color scheme, but I personally think Dailan is more attractive.



The specific model of the Hi Keys keyboard is DGK710, which is printed on the left front side of the keyboard and on the bottom case of the keyboard.





There are two distinctive designs in the upper left corner of the keyboard. One is a rotary toggle switch similar to an antique black and white TV set, which is used to switch between two Bluetooth channels and 2.4G wireless mode, which also means that the keyboard can connect up to three wireless devices, and make quick switching.




The other is the power switch of the keyboard, which looks like metallic silver. In fact, there are LED lamp beads inside, which will light up/blink in different colors when in use, pairing, and charging.




The TYPE-C interface located in the middle of the back side of the keyboard only has charging function, but the keyboard has a super battery life, so the frequency of use should not be too high.




The keyboard backlight is monochromatic white light, and there are 8 lighting effects to choose from. However, for the sake of battery life of the wireless keyboard, I personally don't like turning on the lights too much.



According to the use of about 8 hours a day, and on the premise of turning off the backlight, it can last for 360 days in Bluetooth mode; it can also last for about 200 days in 2.4G mode, which is not to say that it is not powerful. With the backlight turned on and at the highest intensity of the highest brightness, it can last for about 7 days, so basically you don’t have to worry about the power problem. It takes about 3 hours for the battery to be fully charged, and it’s good to remember to recharge once in a while.



The large key position uses a satellite shaft structure, and the feel still maintains Duga’s excellent tuning level, with good consistency, and the process of pressing and rebounding is very smooth and crisp, even picky players should be able to "use it immediately".



The switch of mine is the Kaihua Turbo silent red switch, which was first launched on the K610W/K620W CORONA white light version. The trigger pressure is 45 grams, the conduction stroke is 1.7mm, the total stroke is 4.0mm, and the theoretical life is 50 million times. The purpose of silence is achieved by adding mute pads on both sides of the bottom case and both sides of the upper cover. The overall pressing process is smooth, and the sound of bottoming out and rebounding is indeed very small.



The keycaps are also all round and bulging. They are designed with ABS spraying and are opaque. When the backlight is turned on, a softer ambient light effect will be formed between the gaps in the keycaps.



Under the bottom shell of the keyboard is the glossy Durga Logo, which is also protected with a transparent protective film. The top is a whole piece of super large area non-slip mat.




The design of the magnetic 2.4G receiver storage compartment on the left is almost the same as that of the Fusion storage compartment.




Hi Keys are also equipped with one-piece feet to allow for different tilt angles.




In terms of wireless connection stability, Dujia has always been a leader in domestic wireless keyboards, and its anti-interference ability to the environment is also very good. Whether it is Bluetooth mode or 2.4G mode, the performance is very good, and there is no obvious delay at all. and intermittent issues.



The height of the keycaps of this keyboard is different from that of all common keycaps on the market. It may take a little time to get used to it when you first get started, but it will not take too long. The 84-key layout is also a very easy-to-use compact layout, which can take into account the needs of mobile portability, office work, and e-sports.



Hi Keys, as the first product of the brand new Hi series keyboard under Dujia, has a more relaxed and lively design than dull design. In fact, it can be clearly seen that it mainly provides solutions for users who have mobile and portable needs. Just like the G series products focus on e-sports attributes, Dujia has introduced more different designs for different user groups. At the moment when homogenization is getting more and more serious, the unique design elements of Hi series keyboards are enough to attract the attention of players.

I used to think that the keyboard can be used in the office, but recently I have a deeper understanding and found that there are various types of keyboards. My previous keyboard was not suitable for office work at all, so I spent money to buy Heijue AK992 three-mode side-engraved RGB keyboard. It is a new product released in April. After a week of use, it feels pretty good. Today I will share it with you!



exterior design


Heijue AK992 three-mode side engraved RGB keyboard has two versions of brown switch and red switch to choose from. Because of typing and office all the year round, I chose the red switch. In terms of appearance, the whole body is black, which is consistent with the style of my notebook, lift table and other equipment. The side-engraved version continues the compact layout of 98 columns of AK992, with a total of 99 keys, plus metal buttons, equipped with a numeric keypad, which just makes up for the lack of a notebook numeric keypad and improves typing speed.



It can also be seen from the name that it adopts a side-engraved design, which solves the problem that letters and numbers are worn out and cannot be seen clearly. At the same time, the characters can be seen clearly no matter what the sitting position is, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The keycap is made of PBT material, with a dry surface and fine texture, and its durability is much higher than that of ABS material. With the concave design, typing is more comfortable.



On the back of the keyboard, 5 non-slip pads and 2 feet are set. It is worth mentioning that it has three outlets, which are left, middle and right. There are wire slots on the left and right, which are convenient for storage and very considerate. The design of feet and non-slip pads can not only realize multi-angle office work, but also make it more stable to use.



Experience


The first thing to say is that it has three connection methods, supporting Bluetooth 5.0, wireless 2.4G, and wired three-mode connection. There is an on-off key on the left side of the keyboard to switch modes. In Bluetooth mode, long press Fn+Q /W/E key combination, you can switch the device, compatible with Windows/Mac and Android and other systems. For custom reasons, I chose a wired connection.



In addition, according to the data, in the wireless connection mode, the battery life can reach 40 hours when the light is turned on. If calculated according to 8 hours a day, it can be charged once a week; if the light effect is not turned on, it can last for about 200 hours. Such battery life is still good.



Another outstanding feature of this keyboard is the cool lighting effect, which has 18 built-in lighting effects, which can be cycled through the Fn+ key combination. For different scenes, you can also set different lighting effects. For example, when you are working, press the Fn+3# combination key to light up the default 37 keys in the office; if you are playing LOL, press Fn+2@ key combination, the key symbols used in games such as Q/W/E/R/D/F will light up. In addition, you can also set the brightness, direction, backlight color, etc. of the light, and the degree of customization is very high.



Because of the selected red switch, the trigger pressure of the keys is very light, straight up and down, the feeling of typing is like dancing on the keyboard, very light, and it will not be tired for a long time. There is also the problem of sound.
