In a market with new structures, new functions, and new technologies such as mechanical keyboards, the industry leaders often do not have any advantages. Instead, many small and easy-to-turn brands take off directly with one or two outlets. .


The domestic first-generation three-family PLU mentioned earlier in this series has completely disappeared, and the two brands of Kaiku and Noppoo have changed hands. And then the three low-end brands: ikbc, ganss, Dujia, ikbc has become the undisputed leader in the cost-effective price range, but for this reason, ikbc has now reached an average price of about 300 yuan from the earliest price of 500 yuan .



Among the high-end keyboards, there is a saying among the players that there are "Three Royals", namely the Japanese brand filco, the Korean brand Leopold and the Chinese brand Amilo. In the past two years of competition, filco and Leopold have shown a clear decline. Public opinion began to seem overwhelmed. On the contrary, Amilo from China, which everyone was not optimistic about in the early years, has become the only seedling in high-end mass production.


Today we will talk about Amilo who "wins by face" in everyone's eyes.



Amilo is the brand name, and the company behind it is Zhihaihe Technology. Zhihaihe first entered the mechanical keyboard circle from the cooperation with Leopold. As mentioned earlier in this series, part of the low-end Leopold is manufactured by Kaiku’s foundry, and the most classic 660 series in its early years is the foundry of Zhihai. As for the rising star 980 series, it will be a matter of later.



Around 2013, Zhihaihe and Leopold began to cooperate to manufacture mechanical keyboards for Leopold, and the OEM product was FC660. 2013 was the period of great development of mechanical keyboards in mainland China. The 66-key small keyboard is still relatively rare. KBT's race, pure and ikbc's poker were once called sea view rooms. Leopold has earned a good reputation with this small arrangement and excellent workmanship.


At that time, I was still in Tieba, and I cooperated with Zhihai and Tieba in some small activities, released some discounts on keycaps, and gave away some keycaps. Leopold used the original height keycaps, and at that time other brands except Cherry were mainly OEM keycaps, and there were not many keycaps at that time, and PBT was not popular, especially color PBT. The RGB does not refer to the backlight, but the keycaps. The common way to play is to replace the keycaps of the large keys with red, green, and blue, that is, RGB keycaps. At that time, Leopold's keycaps were indeed top-notch in the domestic market.



Around 2015, Zhihai and Leopold ended their cooperation. Around 2014, Zhihaihe registered a brand called Amilo. After the cooperation between the two parties ended, Zhihaihe brought this brand out again and began to operate as its own main brand.


As Leopold's foundry + domestic agent, Leopold's trademark has been used by Amilo until 2016, until the inventory of FC660 was basically cleared, Leopold returned to the mainland market, and Zhihaihe began to concentrate on operating Amilo. So far, The two brands completely parted ways.



When Amilo first appeared, some people questioned that Amilo’s keycaps used leopold molds. However, the fact is that at that time, keycaps were an accessory, and people didn’t pay much attention to its height and shape, so Amilo In the design of the keycap, Milo directly referred to the height and design of the keycap of Leopold, re-opened his own keycap and shell mold, and added printing technology such as thermal sublimation, which is more beautiful than the laser engraved characters in the Leopold period durable. Although very similar, it is indeed not a direct misappropriation.



Because I received certain technical guidance during the OEM period for Leopold, and my own craftsmanship was at a relatively leading level in the mainland at that time, the reputation of the Amilo brand has been good since its birth, but the business situation is not good. Amilo was the same at that time as it is now. It only had mid-to-high-end products, and a keyboard cost 6.700 yuan. However, the domestic mechanical keyboard market has not yet been fully developed, resulting in poor sales.


In 2017, based on the relatively rare sublimation technology at that time, Amilo successively launched two keyboards, Sakura and Haiyun, which became the milestone products of Amilo's counterattack.



Even now, it seems that the physical appearance of these two keyboards is very high, not to mention that before 2017, there were no themed keycaps. The sublimation process was not popular, and even if it was used, it would engrave black characters. It’s great to print colorful characters, how can anyone print patterns on it? In fact, it’s not only unexpected, but also the immature craftsmanship.



Here is a brief introduction to the thermal sublimation process. Thermal sublimation refers to vaporizing characters and patterns and immersing them in the keycap through high temperature. It has the advantages of free pattern, bright color, durability and not easy to wear. The effect is undoubtedly outstanding.


The appearance of Sakura Haiyun was a dimensionality reduction blow at the time. Players finally discovered that black or white mechanical keyboards can also be so beautiful. Then the Chinese girl series (koi, Huadan, etc.) added fire, especially Huadan, which directly pushed Amilo to the altar. At its peak, it could even beat Logitech Gpro and G102 in sales during the 618 period. . Tmall Featured



In 2018, Amilo launched the electrostatic shaft. At that time, the cherry shaft was not so rough, but it had a lot more rustling feeling than the early shaft body, and the domestic shaft body had not yet reached the level of hanging the world like it is now (although some people deny it, but this is the fact), so A shaft with an infinite theoretical lifespan, without even mentioning the quality and lifespan, just such a silky and smooth hand feeling experience, has become the second dimensionality reduction attack point at that time.



Here is a brief introduction to Amilo's "static capacitance": Amilo's static capacitance is not the conventional static capacitance of HHKB, but the trigger principle of MX structure (mechanical shaft structure) + static capacitance, so its essential feel is still The feel of the mechanical shaft, but because the mechanical shaft is triggered by contact, the touch has a lifespan, and the Amilo static capacitor is a non-contact trigger, which theoretically has an infinite lifespan. Amilo’s original expectation should be to use this " Static capacitance "completely replaces conventional mechanical switches.



Therefore, during the period from 2017 to the beginning of 2020, Amilo finally became a brand as famous as Filco and Leopold in mainland China. Maybe there is still a gap between the two in terms of brand influence. Many people still don’t agree that Amilo is a brand comparable to F and L, but in terms of sales, Amilo has surpassed the two in the same range of 1,000 yuan. There are too many seniors. In fact, it is also understandable. One is a picturesque color keyboard + theme design with cultural background + extremely smooth electrostatic capacitor body, and the other side is black and white solid color keyboard + cherry switch with reduced craftsmanship. Who would you choose? It is not an exaggeration to say that Amilo was the number one high-end brand in China at that time. After all, the ducky peak of Baodao has passed. Brands such as iqunix and Luofei, which are popular in mainland China, are still in their infancy. Domestic shaft TTC, Kaihua and other brands have not yet begun to exert their strength.



And Amilo, who is in the limelight, holds the smooth and invincible electrostatic capacitor body, which can be called talented. The first brand of mass-produced dye-sublimation products, each product has a superior appearance, which can be called beautiful.


In recent years, we can clearly feel that there are more and more interesting keyboards, and the old Amilo seems to be not so interesting, and there are many functions. Let’s take a look, 2020-2022, the market What outlets have emerged, and what choice did Amilo make:


The first point is the rise of domestic shafts. At the end of 2019, a series of high-end, cost-effective, light, heavy, loud and silent shafts, such as TTC Gold Powder, Kaihua BOX, and Jiadalong’s Gpro, exploded in a short period of time. , Amilo ushered in the first choice, do you want to follow up the domestic axis? Think about it in another way. Amilo has an exclusive electrostatic capacitor shaft, which feels very good and has stable quality. If you choose a domestic shaft, Amilo sells it for 1000, while others sell it for 400. You still need to compete and it is easy to break, so choose not to use it. Follow-up is also reasonable.



But the combination of the second point is fatal - hot swap.


As the homogenization of the industry is getting higher and higher, the hot-swappable function with quick shaft change and feel is popular, and almost all conventional mechanical shafts on the market are universally hot-swappable, that is to say, as long as you have a hot-swappable With the plug-in keyboard, you can choose the switch you like in each switch factory at any time, and change it to the keyboard. It only takes 15-20 minutes to replace the whole set, which is very convenient.



The Amilo static capacitor is embarrassing, because its non-contact trigger requires a dedicated chip and solution, making the Amilo static capacitor system feel the same as the mechanical axis, but it is not universal at all, and the static capacitor also has special requirements for welding. , hot-swapping is naturally out of the question, making Amilo miss the outlet of hot-swapping + domestic shaft.


The third point is the three-mode, three-mode is 2.4g+Bluetooth+wired three connection modes, come to 2022 today, the three-mode solution for the conventional mechanical axis on the market is very mature, so manufacturers of all sizes are It can be used as a three-mode keyboard, but the Amilo electrostatic capacitor is embarrassing again. Because it is also a special solution, all three-mode solutions on the market cannot be used universally, so it can only be completely developed by itself, so that until this year, the electrostatic capacitor has just been launched. Dual-mode (Bluetooth + wired), after all, the technical strength of one company still cannot compare with the efforts of the entire industry.



Then let’s take a look at what the newly emerging domestic brands have done between 2020 and 2022, and what Amilo has followed up:


iQnix moved back to the all-aluminum shell and launched the frosted transparent shell OG80. Amilo also launched the full-CNC sword series, but the price is impressive, and the price of the full-size 108 is close to 3000.



Akko and other brands moved back to the gold powder switch that was originally in the customized market, followed by quick silver, flame red and other explosive switches. Amilor's new switches, lightweight Daisy Yellow, Iris Blue, and Quick Trigger Switch Epiphyllum White all feel great, but because of price and publicity factors, they are far less well-known than gold powder switches.


Akko, Black Canyon and other manufacturers have moved back to the hot-swappable axis, but Amilo has not followed up the hot-swappable


Recently, everyone is keen to move the gasket structure and the mahjong sound it represents. Dareu followed up and achieved the explosive A98, but Amilo did not follow up Gasket.



Fuling, Akko, Dareu, RK and other brands moved back to the 98 series from another place, and Amilo did not make 98.



Luo Fei launched a variety of new design languages ​​such as Xiaolang, Xiaoqiao, 1%, and Amilo only launched the popular model of the Mei series Wenhe.



Not to mention that RGB backlight is even a standard configuration of 100 yuan keyboard.


In fact, everyone can basically see what the outlets have been in the past two years. Amilo wants to follow these outlets, but most of them have missed them. Most of them are actually due to static capacitance, which has brought too much to Amilo. , but when domestic shafts, hot-swapping and other functions are popularized, there is a herd effect: no matter how good your electrostatic capacity is, only your family uses it, you are still expensive, and the audience is small; while domestic shafts + hot-swappable, all brands are in the market. Use, all prices are available, the audience is naturally much larger, coupled with a high degree of freedom, more playability, and mature functions, there are naturally many discussions on the Internet, and the momentum gradually overwhelms static capacitance.



Of course, there are also some subjective reasons, that is, whether you want to earn the money, such as 98. As a patented product, many domestic brands rely on 98 to gain momentum, but now they are also involved in patent disputes because of 98.


Even though Amilo has not caught up with many of the outlets that our consumers feel, Amilo relies on many popular IPs such as Koi Niang and Hua Dan Niang, the old and firm Haiyun, Sakura, and updated lightweight springs. The daisy yellow axis makes Amilo still the head brand of domestic high-end mechanical keyboards, and its influence and diehard fans are still very large.



Sometimes I think Amilo is really a bit stubborn. In the most popular price range of 500 yuan, Amilo has no products, even if the new brand hands keys are mainly mid-to-high-end personalized keyboards. For most beginners, especially students, it is really painful to ask him to buy a mechanical keyboard of nearly 1,000 yuan. At present, in the mid-to-high-end market, although Amilo still maintains its leading position, it is also beginning to face repeated attacks from manufacturers such as Dareu, Akko, and Luofei.



Fortunately, Amilo still has a hole card in his hand. There is an electrostatic capacitor body that is still unrivaled in the world, and its smoothness is far superior to that of gold powder. It is backed by a factory that produces the whole process itself. If the technology is in your own hands, you will have the capital to settle down.


I often hear people say, "Amilo is a skin replacement brand that sells keycaps." In fact, I don't agree with it. Amilo has been doing some things, but those things, some of which are in the air, have been seen by everyone. , such as theme design; and some, everyone’s focus is not here, so I didn’t see it. Such as v-silk keycaps, such as the constantly upgraded satellite switches, such as electrostatic capacitors V1 and V2. When the Cherry shaft was the only one, no one forced Amilo to develop their own solutions and shafts, but they still did, and finally became an important bargaining chip for the brand's success at the key point of the decline in the quality of Cherry. Who can predict that a certain brand, doing something that seems inconspicuous now, will ignite a new round of craze?



Amilo's experience has shown us the fierce competition in the mechanical keyboard industry in the Chinese market. The outlets follow one after another. Although Amilo has ups and downs, he always insists on doing his own things and maintaining his independent personality and quality, so even in the involution and outlets, he can still stand firm. Think about the one mentioned in this series. How many brands that were once well-known in the industry ended up leaving the market sadly?


Of course, it is undeniable that outlets are indeed very important. Even if Amilo, the leader of sublimation outlets in China, does not follow up the most popular demand from 2020 to 2021, its status will be shaken, but as a consumer, think about 2016- In 2018, there were really few eye-catching products, and in the past two years, consumers have been overwhelmed with fun and good-looking products. Judging from this year's situation, Amilo has obviously begun to seek changes. The joint fast golden shaft with TTC and the joint shaft with Kaihua seem to be coming soon. I heard that the follow-up three-mode, hot-swappable, and gasket Products are also on the way.

Aluminum factories are popular in the market because they have launched high-quality mechanical keyboards. The Wormhole OG80, which is popular all over the Internet, can be said to be a perfect combination of mass production and customization. Transparent body, cool RGB lighting, none of them are inconsistent with the current mainstream configuration. If you want to say that the aluminum factory is a fancy brand, you have to look at the joint models produced by his family. No, I couldn’t help but pick up another OG80, but this time it’s a joint model with PANDAER. In order to update the experience, I didn’t choose the hot gold powder switch this time, but chose a paragraph I like but haven’t used. TTC moon white axis.



When it comes to joint models, the texture must be full. The packaging of the IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole is obviously different from the texture of the ordinary version of the OG80. The touch of the packaging has a feeling of frosted hard PVC. In terms of the design language of the packaging, the overall shape is actually not different from the OG80 of the ordinary board. It can only be said that there is no difference at all, that is, the color matching is customized, and the keycaps are also customized for the joint brand. As usual, the back of the package is printed with the featured selling point of the product.


However, before this keyboard was shared, the aluminum factory updated the most popular product line and launched more color schemes. You can choose according to your own preferences. The color determines the mood, right?



The first is the pull-out packaging, and then the top-opening packaging. After opening, you can see the keyboard body. Other spare parts are hidden in the upper area of ​​the packaging, and you can take them out after opening.



The keyboard and all accessories are wrapped in frosted transparent packaging. After taking them out, they include the keyboard, manual, card, data cable, cleaning brush, 5 additional keycaps, adapters, and key pullers.



The data cable of IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole uses A-C port, and the wire is a braided wire.



Let's take a front view first. The shape is basically the same as that of the normal version, that is, the keycaps and some color schemes are customized. From another perspective, it means that a product with a different color scheme is selected.


IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 Wormhole adopts 80% key layout, no keypad, and the overall style is relatively compact.



As usual, the IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole has a stepped design, and the inclination angle of the F function key area is slightly higher. Isn’t this the legendary ergonomics?



The IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole keycaps are without exception made of PBT two-color injection keycaps, with a matte surface material that is more comfortable to the touch.



IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 Wormhole also supports full-key programming, and you can change the key according to your needs, especially for programmers, this design is very convenient.



The same design as the regular version of the OG80, the 2.4GHz receiver has a dedicated storage compartment, the color of the IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole storage compartment is designed to be orange, and the color matching shows the characteristics of the joint model.



Since the IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole is a mass-produced customized mechanical keyboard, hot-swapping of the shaft body is essential. From the fixed area of ​​the shaft body, it can be seen that the shaft body of the IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole uses three holes. The RGB lights of the keyboard are centered above the keys.



Previously, the common version of Wormhole 0G80 chose this keyboard with the hottest TTC gold powder switch. This time, I tried the paragraph switch that I like but haven’t experienced yet, the moon white switch.



It can be seen from the design of the switch body that the body of the switch body is completely transparent, which is very suitable for the keyboard with RGB function, and can make the lighting effect full. The words TTC are engraved on the fuselage of the shaft body. A light-transmitting hole is specially designed for lighting on the top of the shaft body.



The IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole provides a C-port wiring port, which is located on the back of the keyboard. It is also a fence-style back design, which opens up a plug-in area for the C-port. This keyboard supports the separation of keys and wires, and supports Bluetooth 5.0, wireless 2.4GHz, and wired three-mode connections.



The nameplate of the IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole is pasted on the bottom of the keyboard. The design blessing of the joint logo makes it feel different. Is this the IQ tax? The switch for the keyboard's wireless connection is also on the bottom. Here I have to make a suggestion. Since the C ports are all on the back, and there is still so much space on the back, can’t the switch be designed on the back? It can save you the trouble of turning over the keyboard switch.



I bought the OG80 more for the lighting effect, so I can't help but choose the RGB lighting effect version.



The lighting effect is still very good in low-light environments. Recently, the transparent body and transparent keycaps have become popular. I hope that the OG80 series will launch frosted transparent light-transmitting keycaps as soon as possible, so that the lighting effect of this keyboard can be further improved. Take it up a notch.



Next to the ESC of the keyboard, an indicator light is also designed to indicate the current state of the keyboard.



IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 Wormhole will definitely support full key no punch.



The 5 keycaps that come with IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 Wormhole, in addition to a joint logo style keycap, the other 4 are for MAC, yes, this keyboard can also be used for Apple computers.



The IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 Wormhole has two built-in large batteries of 2000 mAh and 4000 mAh. Even if it is connected with Bluetooth all the time, it can be used for a year without charging. is the gospel. My current Fuling FL980 is used for plug-in.



In general, the IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 wormhole does not lose the advantages of the OG80 series, and it is more meaningful to collect under the support of the joint model (there are so many mechanical keyboards, if you don’t use them according to your preferences, more Do you like it, and then put it there, take it out and tap it when you have nothing to do?), because the price of the same configuration is the same as that of the normal version.


Demonstrate the experience of using IQUNIX x PANDAER OG80 Wormhole TTC Lunar Axis

The above is all the content of this sharing, thank you for watching, and please don’t hesitate to share.



Hope the above content can be helpful to your purchase.

This is hip-hop, a variety show that is currently on the air. Recently, I wanted to buy a gaming keyboard. I just saw Shuangfeiyan’s Feishidai trendy product - Feishidai. This is the hip-hop co-branded keyboard FS98. It deeply attracted me, and the price was within my budget, so I bought this mechanical keyboard.



The FS98 keyboard has a strong appearance and hardware. First of all, its weight is only 1.2kg. Some professional players have to take their own mechanical keyboard and mouse to participate in the competition. If it is too heavy, it will be very heavy to carry. Not convenient, the weight of this keyboard is just right, neither heavy nor light, not only easy to carry, but also not so light that the keyboard is too floating to use.



Secondly, the RGB backlight effect of the Hip-Hop co-branded keyboard is very trendy and cool. We only need to press the full-color switch button X to adjust the backlight as we like. The Flying Times This Is Hip-Hop co-branded keyboard has ten kinds of RGB lighting effects.



In terms of hardware, Feishidai This Is Hip-Hop co-branded keyboard has a red switch customized by master F1. It is Feishiera's R&D team based on the data actually used by users. The service life reaches 80 million presses. And the sensitivity of the master F1 customized red switch can recognize the user's operation faster and more accurately than the red switch on the market, bringing us an unusual feel and speed experience. It also has the characteristics of not being easily oxidized, easy to tap, strong signal transmission, reducing the sound of tapping, straight up and down, and supports hot swapping.



The keycap of Feishidai This is the Hip-Hop co-branded keyboard is also great. It adopts the angle-cut CAO keycap design independently developed by Feishidai. The tactile feel of your fingers when typing on the keyboard. Its keycaps also have two-color injection molded ABS keycaps and 360-degree three-dimensional PBT team keycaps, which are really cool to match. The common granular coating is also optimized on the keycap coating. While ensuring high light transmission, it also solves the problem of keycap oiling. This design is really user-friendly.



Flying Times This is Hip-hop co-branded keyboard has a full-key hot-swappable switch design, and its PCBA design is compatible with the three-legged and five-legged mechanical switches currently on the market. It uses anti-oxidation gold-plated contacts, which can be easily A well-connected switch, so that we can freely design, replace the switch with different feel, and have a set of mechanical keyboards with our own feel.



As a gaming keyboard, Feidai This is Hip-Hop joint keyboard supports the use of various key combinations, and also supports low latency and fast response. It is not afraid of various key combinations such as Alt+A, Alt+F, etc. When we play Dungeons and Warriors to fight BOSS, we can quickly press the combo skills of the game character, and the keyboard can respond quickly and let the game character release the skills to defeat the BOSS and win the game. After testing, when we press all keys at the same time in the game, there is no conflict. It can achieve a fast response of 1 millisecond, and the signal is processed in real time, so that our operation can be one step faster and closer to victory.



The feet of the Flying Times This Is Hip-Hop co-branded keyboard are made of silicone, which is very comfortable to the touch and more durable. Its feet also have two adjustment methods, we can adjust the height of the feet according to our own preferences.



Its foot support is also detachable, which is convenient for us to replace our favorite foot support later.



The Flying Times This Is Hip-hop co-branded keyboard also provides 12 shortcut keys for office, multimedia, and game environments. We can output 12 different shortcut functions through Fn+F1-F12. When we are in our daily office, we may need to quickly adjust the volume, we can press Fn+F1 to adjust the volume to mute, press Fn+F2 to lower the volume, etc., it also has a good mute effect, when Take a nap at noon, if you are still working, the sound of typing on the keyboard can not affect the colleagues who are taking a nap, this design is really great.



To sum up, such a high-value, high-cost-effective keyboard with customized red switches from Master F1 and ten kinds of RGB lighting effects is really great.

I changed a new office in the unit, thinking that the previous keyboard was almost at the end of its life, so I decided to take out my small treasury and change a set of keyboard and mouse. After researching on the Internet for a long time, I found that the small matching keyboard is more popular now, but I There is still a need for number keys, so I finally decided to buy a 98-arrangement one. Among the many keyboards, I chose rk98. After all, the price is not very expensive, and it is still affordable.





Let me talk about the advantages first, high cost performance, and online appearance. The switch body does not feel as good as the cherry red switch, it is a little softer, and the layout needs to be adjusted for a while. The white and green color scheme looks good, and the connection is also convenient. It supports Bluetooth and 2.4G receivers, and the test Ubuntu system also supports it. Let me seriously evaluate it. It is super cost-effective and suitable for people who want to get started with machinery in a short time and don't really want to toss.


Compared with the entry-level and retreat mechanical keyboard fl980 and rk980, this keyboard is a good intermediate product. How to get it right in one step, and consider the above model if you don’t want to toss your wallet and have enough budget in the future. If you want to use it better, wait 3-4 years until you have money. Yes, look again, you can consider this one. Single mode is also good and more economical. The last idea is that the yield rate of popular mechanical keyboards is actually a bit problematic. Get it and check it with the next software. If there is no problem, it will be fine. It is recommended that manufacturers can control the quality. There is no problem with this keyboard. The 98 series really has fewer problems in the market due to infringement issues. I like this layout. The price/performance ratio is good. It is enough for office learning and games.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. As an office worker, he deals with computers every day. If the keyboard is not strong enough, the work efficiency will drop. Everyone knows that mechanical keyboards have always been the favored products of keyboard pursuers. Of course, I am also an old user of mechanical keyboards. I simply bought another one, and after many comparisons, I chose the Heijue AK992 wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard. Here is a usage evaluation for everyone.







From the outer packaging of this keyboard, we can see that the model of this keyboard is AK922, which supports wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard. From the upper left corner, we can see that this keyboard is also a partner of the League of Legends professional youth training base. So I can believe that this keyboard can meet the needs for work or game entertainment. In addition, this keyboard has a numeric keypad. The lack of a keypad on a notebook has always made me more distressed, so this is one of the reasons why I added an external keyboard.





Open the package and you can see the keyboard body. This time I chose the Lanqin-Green switch. Of course, mechanical keyboards can also choose switches. Some manufacturers have price differences between different switches or different colors. This keyboard does not make a price difference on the axis body, which is very good.


In addition, the color of this keyboard can be selected from Ode to Spring, Green Field, Brown Sugar, and Lanqin, and it is divided into white light, RGB light and matte version. Because of the cost relationship between light and light, there is a slight price difference for the backlit version. Having said that, the keyboard of the Lanqin version I chose is a matte version, less than 200, and the original one is white with black fonts on the keys, which can be said to be quite beautiful.





The back of the keyboard is the basic information of the keyboard, but I pay more attention to the overall design of the back of this mechanical keyboard. I can see that the back of this keyboard is designed with a wire harness guide groove, and there are three directions in the left, right, and middle directions. So when you want to use a wired connection, any orientation can meet your needs.





Here I will give you a detailed introduction. I also said that this mechanical keyboard is a three-mode, so the upper left corner of the keyboard is the mode switching function key of this keyboard. You can see that the upward is 2.4G wireless mode, and the downward is BT. (Bluetooth) mode, the middle is the wired mode, the specific wired connection method of this keyboard will be introduced in detail below.





Corresponding to the keyboard's three-mode function, the indicator light is also equipped with three-mode indication and four indicator lights for the number lock. Another thing worth mentioning is the design of the number keypad of this keyboard. I personally hate using a laptop without number keys. keyboard.





Another mode of this keyboard is the receiver mode, which is what we often call wireless mode and 2.4G mode. The 2.4G wireless receiver of this keyboard has a special storage slot, which is quite well designed in mechanical keyboards. Comrades who have lost receivers before should understand.





The bottom gasket of this keyboard is also very well done. You can see from the back view of the keyboard above that there are non-slip rubber pads on all corners of the back of the keyboard. The upper elevation legs of the keyboard are also designed with two positions. You can raise the upper part of the keyboard according to your own needs. In addition, the two tops are also specially pasted with non-slip rubber pads.





Another mode of the keyboard is the wired mode. Here the keyboard uses a Type-C data cable as the wired connection method of the keyboard. When using the wired mode, plug the data cable into the keyboard, and plug the other part into the device that uses the keyboard. It is very convenient to use. If you are careful, you can also see that the data cable of this keyboard is specially made with grooves on both sides of the data cable, so that the data cable can be inserted into the keyboard more stably, and it is not easy to fall off.





This keyboard is worth recommending. There is a scrolling volume control wheel on the upper right corner of the keyboard. Rotate the computer clockwise to increase the computer volume, and counterclockwise to decrease the computer volume. When you need to mute, just press it. Mute and then press to release, very practical and very convenient.





Another design detail is the mode switching button. This button is equipped with a U-shaped groove, so that it is very convenient and labor-saving when we toggle the switching mode.





The indicator light of this keyboard is also very streamlined, there are only three working mode indicators and the number lock switch indicator of the numeric keypad. It is worth mentioning that the location of the indicator light is very ingenious, which saves a lot of space for the keyboard.





The keycaps of this keyboard are designed with two-color injection molded OEM high-level PBT material. The touch is delicate and dry, and it does not fade or oily.
