There is such a keyboard, which is compatible with Mac and is very friendly with Windows. I believe many friends know about it. This is the family-style system-wide adaptation of Keychron. As a productivity tool, it is also a consumable, a collectible, and finally it can be a Toy. Of course, adults will definitely love it. Keychron, which used to be a mass-produced keyboard, has launched a customized aluminum tuo this time. In the beginning, it was still a gray collocation scheme. This time, i recently won this Keychron Q6O1 customized mechanical keyboard. The color of the fuselage has changed from the traditional one.

[unpacking]

▲After checking Keychron's current Q series is very rich, I will not list them one by one. My Q6O1 belongs to 100% configuration, and the full size is the most common largest keyboard. From the packaging point of view, it is still the traditional style of Keychron, with a technological sense of the cover, the brand name and the frame diagram of the keyboard, and the fonts are all hot stamped, which is very beautiful. At the bottom is the display of three keyboard colors. From the core functions, we can understand that this keyboard belongs to the suspension design in the middle of the Gasket structure, QMK open source system reconstruction, CNC all-aluminum body, dual system adaptation, south-facing RGB, noise-reducing cotton interlayer, It can be seen that the stockpiling of Q6 is still very sufficient.

▲The accessories in the packing list are also very rich, including Keychron Q6O1 keyboard, Type-c cable, A to C adapter, key puller, shaft puller, Phillips screwdriver, hex screwdriver, Win key cap, Gasket structure Spare screw quiet noodle feet. It is very rich and can be used as a DIY backup for future use.

▲From the front, the overall layout of the Keychron Q6 is a full-size keyboard with a fairly satisfactory ratio. The difference is that the top F column is seamlessly arranged, and the round shortcut knob in the center is added. The position of the indicator light in the upper left corner is designed as The PS game console has four buttons ×○△□, which can be expanded by editing F13/14/15/16. It is traditional and unique. I have basically never used the three keys on the top, and it is advisable to design the available shortcut keys separately.

▲The back is a whole piece of aluminum chassis, which is very heavy, with eight hexagon socket screws, eight silent silicone foot pads, and no folding support feet, which is also good and the integrity is stronger.

▲The interface position provides a Type-C connection port. This Q6 adopts the traditional single-mode plug-in operation, which is also a point I am more optimistic about. There is no need to consider battery attenuation and future problems of battery replacement. The system on the left is selected key to switch WIN/MAC system.

▲The keychron Q6 mechanical keyboard shaft body adopts hot-swappable design, and the G PRO shaft body is selected from the factory. I choose the red shaft, and there are also green shafts and brown shafts. The advantage of hot-swapping is that the shaft can be replaced at will later The body is more convenient, with the soft elastic Gasket structure design, the key will have a soft elastic effect when it touches the bottom, and the touch feels soft when it touches the bottom. The long key position uses the screw satellite shaft to leave the factory with lubrication, which is easy to replace, and the long key position has a well-controlled space key stroke. The feel of the red switch is more in line with my wishes. The green switch is used too much and I am a little tired. I simply replaced the whole series with the red switch, and did not change the other switches in the later period.

▲ As for the keycaps, the non-transparent character design is adopted. The characters are in the center of the keycaps. The overall PBT material is lightly frosted. Although the keycaps are non-transparent, the south-facing RGB design allows users to see more clearly See the lighting effects.

▲Keychron Q series are basically equipped with a metal knob that can be pressed down and rotated. Q6 is no exception and is arranged on the right side of F12. It can control the volume and volume switch. The texture of the knob is very good. The height will be higher than the keycap, which is convenient for two-finger operation. The advantage of the physical knob is that it is fast and zero accidental touch.

▲Keychron Q6 adopts the bottom cover screw fixing mode. After dismantling 8 hexagon socket screws from the back, the entire keyboard is opened. The Gasket structure clamps the PCB board in the middle to suspend the effect. The aluminum frame causes friction in the cavity, and the suspended design provides a quieter and softer finger pressure effect during the percussion process. Even the system selection key is made of aluminum alloy, which is amazing.

▲The upper frame is made of all aluminum, and each point is fixed with positioning machine screws. The level of CNC lathe technology is still very high. The quality inspection and control of the factory is good, and there are no flaws and paint peeling.

▲The overall keyboard frame structure is divided into aluminum alloy shell, PCB board, iron positioning board, bottom sound-absorbing foam, PCB and positioning board sandwich sound-absorbing cotton, Gaskets cushion, etc. are very layered. The bottom cotton and PET sheet in the chassis can be disassembled and removed by some users who don’t like the mute cotton. The PET gasket can prevent unnecessary wear or electric shock caused by direct contact of the PCB board with the chassis.

▲You can clearly see the iron positioning plate and PCB board, the center sandwich buffer foam, the craftsmanship is exquisite, and the materials are full, which can effectively relieve most of the noise when the shaft is pressed and knocked.

[RGB lighting effect]

▲I combined several lighting effects into two animations for display. Although there is no high-transparency keycap, for me, the usability of this full-size machine key is far greater than the ornamental value. The lighting effect The modes are also relatively diverse. My favorite is the rainbow flowing water and breathing effects. I don’t want to say more, it’s better than nothing.

▲In terms of typing noise and knocking feeling, the noise control is very good. Under normal finger pressure, it is basically around 45-53dB, and the force knocking does not exceed 70dB. It can be seen that the increase of the internal cushioning cotton is still very effective .

▲Full keys are necessary for both work and games. This time, I chose a full-size keyboard to have a certain productivity at home. It is necessary to enter a large amount of data and numbers frequently, so the small keyboard appeared very friendly. Keychron Q6 full key does not have a red one, and the keyboard test utility has no impact.

▲The regular game experience of Keychron Q6 has begun. It is the most evergreen game LOL arrangement. The whole process feels quite stable, and the noise effect is very well controlled. There is no need to press hard during the whole process. The key stroke of 4mm triggers 2mm, which is also more conventional for red switches. Half of the key stroke triggers skills. The keys of LOL are basically QWER+space, and the height of the keycap is relatively comfortable. operability.

▲Shadow of the Tomb Raider, this game is more operable. The FPS masterpiece still requires a large number of keys on the keyboard. OK. During the process, the evasion mechanism, foot movement and running are very sensitive, and the position is precise. If you miss a step, you will fall into the abyss. The linearity of the red axis gives a good feel. It depends on personal preference.

▲The last masterpiece of this year, God of War 4 is ported to the PC version. The picture quality is not smooth. If I don’t arrange it, I will be sorry for my computer. I have been playing this pure action masterpiece since the PS period, and I really need to make a quick response. Click The slow-motion operation is a test of the temporary trigger and response efficiency of the keyboard, especially the design of the keys, which can be directly used without multiple break-ins. Keychron's overall shaft key position is pressed accurately, there is no misuse, the skill trigger response is timely, and there are no blind keys throughout the process. This is also the advantage of wired keyboards. Some wireless keyboards need to be pressed twice.

▲ In terms of table setting, since it was basically black, gray, and dark-colored Ghana discs before, although the display chassis has a certain integrity, there are no bright spots. This time I decisively won this royal blue Keychron Q6 and was also amazed by this color When it arrives, I will change a few sets of keycaps by myself later.

【Summarize】

▲Because the electronic scale has exceeded the measurement range, it was decisively disassembled and weighed. The PCB and shaft positioning plate weighed 858g, the aluminum chassis weighed 1229g, and the upper aluminum frame weighed 298g. I can only say that it is very stable, accurate and ruthless steady. Although it is not convenient to carry it out, it is only limited to sitting at home, full of power.

After two weeks of use, the Keychron Q6 is very satisfied overall. Let’s talk about the advantages. Full-size entertainment and office work are all done. Of course, part of the mouse space needs to be sacrificed. The wired single-mode keyboard returns to what the traditional keyboard should be, and all functions are concentrated in the configuration. All of them met my needs. The hot-swappable Jiadalong G PRO shaft, pressing, triggering, and feel are all quite satisfactory. You can replace the shaft body by yourself in the later stage. The weight of aluminum has made me yearn for customization , The price is also in line with its positioning. The Keychron family-style keyboard series has rich options and basically covers all configuration solutions. The Gasket structure is full of materials and can be DIYed by yourself, which is full of openness. With this blue color scheme, it is a pretty boy no matter it is at home or in the office.

Some time ago, I bought the first Gasket structure mechanical keyboard - the upstart GM780. After some experience, I feel that the mute effect of this Gasket structure keyboard is really good. It coincides with TTC recently released the mute axis V2, so it was born. The idea of ​​​​replacing this keyboard with Ice Quiet Axis V2 to reduce the sound to a minimum. Just do it, 80 TTC ice static axis V2 arrangements!

The appearance of Ice Static Axis V2 is worthy of its name. The transparent plastic body of the Axis is crystal clear like small ice cubes. It still looks cool in this hot summer. Different from the yellow-brown shrapnel and spring used in the general shaft body, the Bingjing shaft V2 uses silver shrapnel and spring, which makes the overall tone of the shaft body uniform and unobtrusive, and the visual presentation effect tends to be consistent.

Through dismantling, it can be seen that the shaft core of the ice static shaft V2 continues to use the sound-absorbing double insurance structure design and the double-side wall dust-proof patented structure. Segmented independent sound reduction and noise reduction, the mute effect is obvious; the latter allows the shaft core to still fit the shaft cover when it is pressed down, which effectively solves the problem of dust entering the shaft body and improves the stability of the shaft core.

Concentrating mirror solution, the end of the concentrating mirror is slightly raised and installed to be closer to the LED patch light, gathering and converging the LED light source. At the moment when transparent kits and transparent keycaps are popular, it is undoubtedly a wise choice to enhance the overall lighting perception of the keyboard by enhancing the brightness of the light passing through the shaft body and the scattering effect.

The triggered shrapnel structure is silver-plated, and the contacts of the shrapnel are gold-plated. The gold contacts are very obvious in the silver-white luster. This is the process commonly known as "wearing gold and wearing silver". The long spring design is exactly the same as the gold powder switch, and it is about one-third longer than the spring of the ordinary red switch. You can clearly see the traces of grease on the factory-run switch.

The parameters of the ice static axis V2 are as follows: 39g trigger pressure, 3.5mm total stroke, 2.0mm trigger stroke, and 50 million trigger life. From the specific parameters, we can know that the ice static axis V2 is a linear mute with light pressure and short stroke. shaft. If you are looking for a reference object for benchmarking, the V2 parameters of the ice static axis and the parameters of your own gold powder axis are close, which can be roughly regarded as the silent version of the gold powder axis, but the total stroke is slightly shorter and the bottom will be faster.

相比较于之前的冰静轴，冰静轴V2在冰静轴的基础上主要做了三大升级：加持“穿金戴银”工艺，对导电端子和弹簧进行镀银，提高轴体抗氧化和耐用性；再就是增加聚光镜模块，提高轴体导光表现；最后就是将轴芯替换为更加耐磨的新型透明材料。这一系列的升级优化了前作的一些不足，让冰静轴V2在外观、耐久性、灯光表现上有了显著的提升。

Compared with the TTC ice static axis V2 of the condenser solution and the TTC fast silver axis of the lens solution, the effect of the condenser focusing and converging the light source is quite obvious - under the same LED light source, the brightness of the light projected by the condenser is far better than that of the lens structure, which can be regarded as the current The strongest light guide solution I have ever seen.

Install the shafts one by one on the upstart GM780, turn on the white light of GM780, the almost transparent shaft core and shaft cover add the addition of the condenser to the lighting effect, the crystal clear feeling of TTC ice static shaft V2 becomes more and more obvious , the word transparent is vividly displayed.

Ice Static Axis V2 is not only crystal clear under white light, but its transparent appearance can well display the RGB lighting of the keyboard. It is perfect for matching with the current transparent kit and transparent keycaps.

In terms of feel, the TTC Ice Static Switch V2 is smooth and gentle to press, the rebound is strong with the hand, and there is no lag when pressing to the bottom. The specific hand feeling presentation, as mentioned above, is not far from the feel of the TTC gold powder switch, or even quite similar. The sound-absorbing double insurance structure design will not make a sound when the shaft touches the bottom. With the blessing of the Gasket structure, it basically achieves the experience of integrating into the environment sound.

With the gradual out of the circle of mechanical keyboards and the improvement of user demand, there are many kinds of silent switches on the market recently, but to achieve the mute effect while ensuring that the switch feels smooth and smooth, maybe TTC’s silent switch series is the best. TTC has integrated some of the latest technical optimizations on the Bingjing axis V2, which has both hand feeling and mute performance, and also added a certain "light pollution" attribute. Whether you are an RGB lover or have a relatively strong mute demand for the keyboard, TTC Bingjing Axis V2 is the best choice for your keyboard!

When it comes to the popular mechanical keyboards with Gasket structure, Dareu’s A98 and A98 Pro must be on the list. Both the appearance and the feel of the products have left a deep impression on users. Now the A98 family has launched a new product - A98 Youth Edition. As the name suggests, some features are castrated on the basis of the standard version, and at the same time, it is more cost-effective in terms of price. I have also experienced this product for a while recently. Although it is called the youth version, the actual performance is not much worse than the standard version.

Putting aside the boring unpacking link, let's look at the product directly. The one in my hand is the sunset color scheme. The three color schemes tend to be warm yellow, just like the sky reflected by the setting sun.

Dareu A98 Youth Edition uses a 98% arrangement layout, the overall button layout is relatively compact, and a narrow frame design is used, which saves 20% of the standard 104 arrangement space. That is, the small digital area is reserved, office efficiency is improved, and desktop space is saved.

The shell of the keyboard is made of ABS material, which feels slightly frosted and delicate to the touch. The keycap is made of two-color PBT, which feels dry to the touch. It will not be oiled after long-term use, and it can be washed even if it is dirty.

The keyboard design uses MDA keycaps of 5 different heights, which are ergonomically designed, suitable for long-term text input, and the experience is more comfortable. In order to improve work efficiency, Dareu A98 Youth Edition also supports multiple sets of shortcut keys, through the Fn+F keypad, you can achieve brightness, volume and other operations. Since the keyboard does not indicate the specific key functions, you need to refer to the manual to get used to it when using it.

Dareu A98 Youth Edition supports three-mode connection, which are wired mode, 2.4G mode and Bluetooth mode. The layout on the side of the keyboard is also very user-friendly. For example, the 2.4G receiver uses a hidden design and is stored on the right side of the keyboard. On the left is a three-speed toggle switch, which can easily switch between the three modes.

The back of the keyboard is also comprehensive. The wired connection is designed with a three-way outlet design. Users can place the keyboard at any position according to their needs. There are as many as 6 foot pads, which greatly increase the anti-slip performance of the keyboard. Even with intense operations, the keyboard is still stable. The two-stage foot support is also more convenient to adjust to the most comfortable angle when using it.

As for the axis body, mine is a linear dream axis. The trigger force is 40±10gf, the trigger stroke is 2.0±0.4mm, the life span is up to 50 million times, the touch is crisp, straight up and down, and the response is fast. The keyboard supports hot swapping and is compatible with 99% of 3PIN and 5PIN mechanical switches on the market. If you like DIY, you can create your own exclusive three-touch keyboard.

The interior of the keyboard uses the Gasket structure design. Although it is called the Youth Edition, there are a lot of internal materials, including positioning boards, silicone sleeves, EPDM rubber, silicone pads, and so on. The blessing of double noise-cancelling filling makes it have a good noise-cancellation effect, and you don’t have to worry about “disturbing the people” due to excessive noise like traditional mechanical keyboards when you tap wildly during the game. In terms of feel, it is soft and elastic, and has a high degree of consistency. It can be said that both long-term codewords and games are good choices.

As a youth version of the three-mode keyboard, the RGB lighting effect is not castrated. When we play games at night, with the keyboard lighting effect, the sense of ritual and atmosphere will be instantly full.

In terms of battery life, it still has a built-in 4000mAh battery. According to official data, the battery life can last up to one month when the lights are turned off, and it can also be used for 6 days when the lights are turned on. I am personally very satisfied with this performance.

In general, as a three-mode mechanical keyboard priced at 499 yuan, Dareu A98 Youth Edition still retains complete core functions. The Gasket structure ensures a good sound-absorbing effect and a unified cotton-elastic feel. Three connection methods, as well as RGB lighting effects, ensure rich usage scenarios. 4000 mAh large battery, the actual battery life performance is unexpected. If you want a cost-effective three-mode Gasket mechanical keyboard, Dareu A98 Youth Edition is really worth considering.

It is said that girls have a shopping concept that boys can't understand at all. In fact, this point is open to debate. When girls buy items they know, they are quite sensible and will not be fooled by superficial phenomena. However, when buying electronic products in fields that they have no knowledge of, such as mechanical keyboards, their appearance theory will make boys at a loss and it is difficult to refute.

When boys buy keyboards, the shopping guide will tell you the cost-effectiveness, functions, percussion and sensitivity. When facing girls, usually you only need to take out the most beautiful one, and then match it with words such as classic, limited edition, etc., and they will completely sink and obediently take out their wallets to pay. Hey, but having said that, not all these good-looking keyboards are useless, and many of them are hidden stunts.

Luofei's mechanical keyboard adopts the macaron color key design. The fresh and elegant color scheme is very similar to girls' beloved lipstick and eye shadow. It simply satisfies girls' dream of collecting color numbers in disguise. Moreover, it adopts a retro-style typewriter appearance, decorated with a modern-style metallic space bar, full of INS-style fashion sense, which girl can escape its beauty and charm.

In addition to the beautiful appearance, it has many advantages. First of all, it is made of domestic fever-grade celadon glaze, and the click feeling when typing is particularly crisp and pleasant. Moreover, it has been meticulously polished through 79 processes. The keyboard is durable and not easy to damage. With the exquisite electroplating process, the keyboard will not cause color fading, and the beautiful appearance can be preserved for a longer period of time. Moreover, its compatibility is also worthy of praise. It has Bluetooth and wired dual-mode connection design, whether it is a mobile phone, tablet, iPad or computer, whether you are Android or IOS, it can be easily adapted.

Luo Fei is well aware of the girls' shopping concept that beauty is the truth, so he created this cute little yellow duck mechanical keyboard that bursts with girls' hearts. The combination of yellow and orange contrasting colors is eye-catching, and the retro-style round keycaps lose a bit of toughness and add a touch of softness. Coupled with the cute little yellow duck theme fusion, the girls' hearts will be turned into cute by the keyboard just by looking at it.
