As one of the popular keyboards of Lofree’s family, Xiaoqiao keyboard has been loved by many literary youths since its launch, not only because of its ergonomic and sexy “qiaoqiao” shape, but also because it supports full-key hot-swapping, You can freely match a variety of styles of keycaps, and the mix and match effect will never be repeated. There is always one that can meet the needs of trendy users.



This time I bought a 68-key tofu-color body + street attitude theme combination. I chose this color scheme because the color combination looks more manly, and the pattern on it also looks more hip-hop, which is very suitable for boys. The default ones are Jiadalong switches. This time Jiadalong Red Pro is added with a newly designed silicone cushion, which makes the triggering of the switch body softer and more delicate, the feedback is crisp, and it is also more muted, so use this keyboard It is very suitable for playing games or office work, and typing late at night, without worrying about affecting other people.




This time because it is a combination of keyboard body + custom keycaps, the packaging is much more than before, but it can still be seen that it is as exquisite as ever from the inside to the outside. In terms of accessories, in addition to the keyboard body, there is also a gift Key puller, AAA battery, Type-c cable.



The keycaps of this theme are all PBT spherical retro keycaps processed by sublimation process. The keycaps are more wear-resistant and the corners are rounded so that the hands are not scratchy. The tactility is still as good as ever. The most eye-catching and user-friendly design of the Xiaoqiao keyboard is the just right 9° tilt, so you won’t feel your wrists tired after typing for a long time. It is very suitable for long-term use in office and entertainment scenarios, and it is indeed very comfortable.



The design of the keycap is concave in the middle and spherical at the edge, which makes it easier for fingers to locate and also brings a perfect sense of touch. When you put your fingers on the keycap, you can clearly feel the matte texture of the sublimation-treated keycap, even Even after using it for a long time, it will not slip or get oily.



This set of street attitude keycaps is black and white classic color contrast, and the Esc key is gold, matching the fonts and circles in a joyful and humorous style on the keycaps. In this era of noisy information, this playful style is like a summer day. A wisp of breeze, every time I see it, I can feel the fresh pleasure.



This kind of color and pattern is very unique and eye-catching, and in terms of craftsmanship, it can also ensure long-term use without peeling off the paint. Every time someone comes over on the table, they will first look at the keyboard. It can be said that it combines appearance and function. Sex coexists.



The feel of Jiadalong Red Pro + silicone cushion is softer triggering, but still retains the unique straight up and down feel of the red switch. For me, the pressure and feedback are quite satisfactory, which can be taken into account. gaming and office. Pull out the shaft body and you can see that a layer of silicone sandwich pad is designed underneath, which makes the overall performance of the keyboard more silent.



The full key adopts the current mainstream and more costly "shaft seat hot-swappable" solution, and the shaft can be easily replaced with a shaft puller. This also satisfies some users with customized needs to a certain extent. It is convenient to change the shaft in the later stage, and it also ensures the compatibility of more shafts, which is simply the gospel of "customization Xiaobai"!



After actual use, typing is very light. For people like me who often need to code late at night, it is really a treasure, and there is no need to worry about affecting the rest of the family.



This keyboard supports three connection methods of Bluetooth 5.0, wired and 2.4G wireless. In Bluetooth mode, three devices can be linked, and the seamless replacement between devices can be performed through the combination of switching keys, which is very convenient. The actual use scene has been greatly expanded. Whether it is a desktop computer, a notebook or a tablet at home, it can be connected and used. A keyboard is in hand, which basically meets the input needs of all devices.



System compatibility is also very important. Luofei Xiaoqiao is compatible with Windows8 and 10, Mac/Android multi-system and multi-device, and is a perfect productivity tool.




The power supply method of Luofei Xiaoqiao is to use three AA batteries. Because of the automatic energy saving protection, it will automatically enter the sleep state when not in use, so there is no need to worry about energy consumption. Generally speaking, three batteries can be used for one or two months. Compared with charging, it is indeed somewhat inconvenient, but it can ensure that the keyboard can maintain its vitality in the next few years of use, without the trouble of replacing lithium batteries.



In fact, there are three main reasons for choosing Lofree Xiaoqiao mechanical keyboard this time. The first is its classic shape and eye-catching appearance design. It supports three-mode connection, and Bluetooth can support seamless switching of five groups of devices, which greatly expands its usage scenarios, whether it is a computer or a tablet phone; finally, this keyboard supports hot swapping, although the switch body It has an ultra-long life of 80 million times, but it still considerately provides a non-destructive shaft replacement solution for users with customized needs, which can basically meet the needs of all users. Of course, this keyboard is equipped with 60% mini keypad and PBT retro keycaps with sublimation technology, which is also full of "benefits" for me, and it is still very recommended!

The keyboard I have experienced the most this year is the Ruijiang R87. It is strange to say that this R87 has an extremely ordinary appearance, but you can always find new inspiration in the theme or color matching. In my words, the conclusion is that 'you can rely on your strength, but you have to fight for your appearance'. As a keyboard made of pure metal, it has a natural texture advantage compared to many large plastic keyboards. It has achieved the top level, and the choice of shaft body is TTC gold powder or ACE, which is very popular nowadays.


Limited by product positioning, it is difficult to make a breakthrough in quality. In order to quickly open up the market situation, we have to work hard on the appearance of the keyboard, so many personalized theme versions have been launched in such a short period of time. This kind of other mass-produced peripherals The outdated personality-themed gameplay played by brands has been revived by Rui Jiang.



No, this time it brings a new source plan color scheme. When Lao Liang excitedly showed me this keyboard, I was not very interested. Even though its theme and color scheme are somewhat similar to the popular cyberpunk edge walker, it still needs to be compared with the blue and white porcelain of the previous model. Much less. Lao Liang probably saw that I was not very interested, so he added, 'This is an electrostatic capacitor'. Static capacity? Static Capacitor! I can't sleep after hearing this sentence.


At any rate, this Ruijiang R87 is also a keyboard made of metal. The popular word for the key ring is "aluminum lump", and the metal surface and keycaps also adopt a new color scheme. Let's just take a look at the appearance.




The gun gray used in this source plan theme can also show a sense of metal



Just like the cyberpunk edge walker, the special keycap color matching is very rare, and the color collision is the main one. There are really no keycaps that can highlight the theme. As for whether it looks good or not, it is a matter of opinion.




I have to say that the delicate metallic luster on the surface of the R87 is really poisonous, and this kind of texture cannot be given by other large plastic keyboards. In addition, another major feature of the metal body is "stability". In addition to being particularly solid when placed on a table, it also feels more stable in the hand.



The simple lines can highlight the unique texture of the metal, and at the same time, it is in sharp contrast with the current "cute" round style. If the keyboard needs to be divided by the crowd, then this keyboard will definitely be classified as the "straight man". Team.



The Smart Artisan metal nameplate on the side is also replaced with the traditional Ruijiang brand




Type-c connector


Metal's 'excellent' shielding effect on wireless signals prevents many aluminum keyboards from connecting wirelessly. No sense.


However, this also gave birth to the birth of another type of product - the aviation plug-in cable. Since the wire cannot be discarded, the wire should be made to look better. Basically, all peripheral players will prepare one or two. Good looking and easy to use.




Feel the charm from metal




Except for the red metal chamfering and trimming added to the inner frame, this source plan version is basically the same as other versions of Ruijiang R87.


After taking off the keycap, the red cut edge is more obvious, and it also reveals the brand new electrostatic capacitor body.




This Ruijiang R87 is planned to be equipped with a Lichi solution electrostatic capacitor. As far as I know, this is the only company that manufactures electrostatic capacitors in China. In the early stage, a keyboard equipped with this electrostatic capacitor has been launched, and the feel and quality are also improved. I got good reviews, at least at the moment when the full name of the customized axis body is popularized, I can still fight back and forth with them.




In appearance, this electrostatic capacitor switch of Lichi is basically the same as the traditional MX switch. The advantage is that it can be perfectly compatible with various keycaps. The disadvantage is that it lacks the taste of faith in static capacitors.




After taking it apart, you can see that the internal structure of the shaft body is no different from that of the traditional shaft body. Its core lies in the metal shrapnel used for triggering. Unlike the metal contacts of the MX shaft, this electrostatic capacitance shaft of Lichi uses a Two capacitors, the conduction trigger is realized through the change of capacitance.




The hot-swappable structure is still adopted, and the ordinary MX axis body can also be plugged in, but it cannot be used normally after plugging in, and there will be occasional failures, which are mainly caused by the different trigger judgments of the main control chip.




There is nothing to say about the feel of this electrostatic capacitor. Relying on the solid foundation of Ruijiang R87, the final feel is still the perfect embodiment of the word solid. Not only is the vibration of the shaft body very small when pressed, the sound of the keys is clean and crisp without noise, the adjustment of the large keys is stable and smooth, and all the keys have a high degree of uniformity, including all the keys of the large keys. Even at the moment when the full name is customized, the feel of this keyboard is still top-notch.

Nowadays, there are more and more scenes of using computers in the work and life of society. Long-term use of computers requires high quality keyboards. A keyboard with a good handle will greatly improve work efficiency. As a mechanical keyboard enthusiast, I will naturally not miss a variety of mechanical keyboard products. Recently, I bought a mechanical keyboard of Dujia K620w white light version. This keyboard is a new product of Dujia. The white backlight looks very good High is also one of the reasons for buying this keyboard. Let’s unpack the box and see what’s unique about this keyboard.


The outer packaging of Dujia K620w white light version is a white box, the front of the box is a rendering of the keyboard, and the upper right corner is the English logo of Dujia. In the lower right corner of the box, it is marked that this keyboard supports three connection methods: Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4G wireless, and USB.



Open the box and you can see that the Duga K620w white version keyboard accessories are quite rich, mainly including: USB data cable, USB-C to USB-A conversion head, key puller, shaft puller, Velcro storage belt, manual, etc. thing.



Duga K620w white version mechanical keyboard adopts the non-suspended standard American 87 key position design, and the color matching of the key caps is also good. The blue ESC, space and carriage return are used as embellishments. The functional area is mainly gray, and the input area It is mainly white. The middle frame is mainly black, and the visual effect on the desktop is very good.



The keyboard shell adopts a double-layered design. The panel and bottom are white, and the middle frame is black. It looks very layered. The brand logo on the corner is also recognizable to a certain degree. There are no defects found in the overall process. Sure enough. The things produced by big factories are different.




The top of the fuselage is designed with a Type-C interface and a power switch. In addition to being used as a daily charging interface, the Type-C interface can also be used to connect to a computer through a cable. After the power is turned on, the keyboard will automatically recognize the Windows/MacOS dual system, which is convenient and quick.




The bottom of the keyboard is designed with non-slip foot pads, which can play a very good stabilizing effect, and the DURGOD brand letters are embossed in the middle. The foot support is a two-stage design, and users can customize and adjust it to suit their personal habits. In addition, the hidden 2.4G receiver design next to the foot support is also very considerate.




The keyboard supports Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4G wireless and wired USB three-mode connection, which can be switched arbitrarily on mobile phones, computers, and tablets. It is more convenient to use by one key switch of fn+f12.



The keycaps of Duga K620w white version all use the original high-level PBT two-color keycaps, which are very good in terms of hand feel and letter aesthetics, and the PBT material keycaps are oil-resistant and wear-resistant, and the delicate touch has advantages over ordinary keyboards. obviously.




Disassemble the enter button and take a closer look. You can see that the sublimation color of this keycap is very uniform, and the texture is also very good. The blue color also looks very positive and very comfortable. The details are also handled very well without glitches or effects. Small problems of perception and use.



In terms of the switch body, the Dujia K620w white version is equipped with a custom-made crystal switch switch body launched in cooperation with Jiadalong. There are four switch bodies for users to choose from: tea switch, silver switch, red switch, and mute red switch. This is the tea switch in my hand. The trigger is very light, the trigger force of 55gf is relatively moderate, the trigger stroke of 2mm and the total stroke of 4mm also make the pressing feel comfortable and natural.



Of course, if you don’t like the segmental feeling of the tea switch, you can also replace other switches. The white light version of Durga K620w supports full-key hot-swapping. With the included key puller and shaft puller, you can easily replace the keycap and switch body Make a personalized match. The shaft seat is compatible with most MX-like shafts on the market.



In addition, sound-absorbing cotton and sandwich silicone pads are added inside the keyboard, which can reduce the cavity sound and noise generated during tapping, and make the tapping feel more stable and solid. experience.



Duga K620w white light version provides LED white backlight, with light-transmitting keycaps, the light is soft, not dazzling, comfortable to look at, and the lighting atmosphere on the desktop is also very good, which is the effect I like. In addition, the keyboard supports 9 different lighting effect modes, and users can switch according to their personal preferences.





In terms of battery life, using so many mechanical keyboards, this Duga K620w white light version is the longest battery life mechanical keyboard I have ever seen. It can work continuously for 8 hours a day in Bluetooth mode and can achieve 360 ​​days of battery life. If it is 2.4G If it is wireless, it can achieve 200 days of battery life. Like my usage habits, it can be fully charged once a year, which is very worry-free.



Through this period of experience, I am very satisfied with this keyboard overall. The Bluetooth connection is used, and the stability of Bluetooth 5.0 is no problem at all. I have never encountered accidental disconnection or continuous clicking, and I have not felt any delay. When playing games, the control is no different from that of a wired keyboard, and there is no delay. The game process is very smooth.



I also like the three-mode connection of Duga K620w white light version very much. It can connect three devices at the same time. Like my laptop, desktop computer, mobile phone, tablet, etc., I only need one keyboard. Through Fn+Q/W/E A single key enables connection and quick switching between multiple devices.




In general, as a brand-new replacement product of the Dujia K series, the white light version of the Dujia K620w three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard has a good performance in terms of appearance design and specification configuration. There are many mainstream three-mode wireless connections, customized crystal axes, and support for hot-swappable configurations. At the same time, it also supports WIN/Mac dual systems. A keyboard can adapt to the practical needs of multiple scenarios, and it has a long battery life. They are also efficient and practical productivity tools.

This time I got Xinmeng x98 new color soymilk white TTC gold powder





The customized keyboard with Gasket structure is also three-mode, with obvious noise reduction, soft hand feeling, and good typing









The one in my hand is a three-color color matching, with a supplementary keycap, and the self-contained supplementary key can be made into a two-color one







The edges and corners of the frame and the keycaps have been rounded so that they won’t touch your hands, and a light-transmitting panel is made under the two sides







Behind it is a metal sheet, which is the three-mode switching of the wireless receiver and the physical toggle, the switching between mac and windows,


With a 2.4 wireless receiver, the card slot is magnetic, and the card is very stable.


The C port is also on this metal plate, so when plugging in the wire, it is one-way


The rest are 2 hexagonal screws for decoration. Although the manual says to unscrew this screw first when you want to DIY, these two screws have no effect and are just for decoration.


But the texture of this brand is good












There are 2 adjustable feet on the back.


The FN function key is also carefully written on the label


To be honest, when I use these keyboards myself, I always forget these functions. Who can keep the manual next to me all day? Sometimes I don’t remember which key is the Bluetooth link, so when I use the keyboard myself, I will First write a note to remember the function, and stick it behind the keyboard. It comes with it directly, and it saves me to remember it. This is very practical










The key layout is quite practical. The number keys and several commonly used function keys retain home, end and page, 99 keys, 38cm, and the gap is also acceptable. The size is smaller than the full keyboard, and the size is quite friendly. more practical







The keycaps are low at the front and high at the back. The hand feel is similar to the feeling of pressing. They are all soft. This is also a double-layer opaque keycap.


The brightness of the backlight is OK


The TTC gold powder in my hand, the pressing force is not strong, 37, the trigger stroke is 2, the bottom is 4, 22mm spring, the sound is not loud, and it is relatively pure, the rebound is also good, there is no noise











This keyboard is also snapped, but it is easy to open, much easier to open than the few snaps I used before


Surrounded by several silicone columns, plastic positioning boards,







Between the pcb and the positioning board, there is an under-shaft pad and sandwich cotton







Inside the keyboard, there is a layer of sponge and a layer of silicone pad at the bottom. There is a battery in the silicone pad. The 4000 mAh battery is quite satisfactory, and there are a few card slots next to it. It seems that you can add batteries or DIY later. used when


This keyboard is padded with four layers of pads to improve the sound,


The thickness of several cushions is very face-saving, and the overall filling is not bad.




Three-mode Gasket 99 keys, still using TTC gold powder, still has a certain cost performance

As the volume king in 2023, VGN is still in short supply until now. Of course, I have not been exempt, and have started with the sea salt ice cream shaft version and the polar fox limited version. Today we will take a look at the futures priced at 429 yuan - Polar Fox Limited Edition.


When I bought it, there were 30 coupons, and then added the cloud flash payment JD-6.2 yuan, and the actual price was 392.8 yuan






The accessories are still the same, a 2D sticker, an instruction manual, three spare shafts, a shaft puller, a data cable, and a thin dust cover. Different from the normal version, the Polar Fox version also comes with 49 additional keycaps.




The most obvious difference from the normal version is that the polar fox version has a blue bottom case and the shift gear on the left.


The combination of the blue bottom case and the white receiver is not ugly


The normal version of the white dial has a feeling of inferior material


In addition to the different color matching of the keycaps, the workmanship has also been improved compared to the normal version, and the rough bottom spout has also become much neater.


polar fox keycap


Sea Salt Keycaps


The raw edge of the "metal frame" in the upper right corner has also disappeared.


polar fox


sea ​​salt


The light leakage problem still exists, because the positioning plate is translucent, causing the light to show through the gap. Solution: Cut a piece of black tape yourself and stick it on the positioning board to block light.



The keycaps are MDA keycaps, which feel and height are very comfortable to use. It is strongly recommended to buy a keyboard rest, which can not only decorate the desktop, but also relieve wrist fatigue.




The shaft body adopts Kaihua's new product polar fox shaft. The shaft body is a paragraph shaft. The text description is: the sound is crisp and the feel is superb. It is a must-have shaft for university dormitories! It actually sounds like this (mobile phone radio, everyone listens roughly, the higher-quality axis typing sound directly goes to station B, because there is no professional equipment, everyone will just let it go
）


The numpad is an ice cream switch


Speaking of the sound, I have to talk about the big key adjustment. The big key adjustment smart of the V98PRO Polar Fox Limited Edition is said to be sufficient, it will not be fragmented and it cannot be said to be perfect. If you think it is not enough, you can moisten it yourself or even directly Change satellite axis.


The quality control of my keyboard is not bad, and there are no supernatural events such as malfunctions. I don’t know if it’s luck or VGN’s quality control has improved.



Because my working and living environment can’t use the paragraph axis, the seafood market sold out the polar fox for 249 free shipping, almost in seconds, and maybe the price can be set a little higher.


So to calculate, three-mode rgb hot-swappable kit + polar fox keycap + 49 supplements = 147.6 yuan
Without much explanation, this is basically a giant truth scene


If you change the switch, go to Pinduoduo to water the orchard, buy 100 ash wood switches V3 for 40 yuan, and you can "group" a three-mode RGB hot-swappable keyboard for 187.6 yuan. This price, not to mention rubbing friends and merchants on the ground, directly pokes them into the field to cultivate the land
In this way, it seems that problems such as "futures", "poor quality control" and "no after-sales service" are acceptable.
