Foreword:


The mechanical keyboard from 618 is here! In 2021-2022, when mechanical keyboards are crazy and involuntary, there is a word that is very hot, and that is the "Gasket" structure. Since domestic manufacturers began to mass-produce customization, Uncle V felt that customization was no longer out of reach for ordinary users. Although it was promoted as a hot spot, it was still good from the actual experience.


The main reason is that the keyboard is one of the main accessories of the PC. Whether it is used for work, study, or games, it is a very important tool! Choosing the right keyboard can bring excellent feel and a more pleasant mood. The first Heijue keyboard used by Uncle V is K620T. As a keyboard with interchangeable switches and RGB lighting effects, it left a deep impression in terms of appearance and playability. Nowadays, customized keyboards have also become one of the must-have choices, and the brand of Heijue has become a reliable reference object.



Sometimes the interest is very magical. Although I have come into contact with many mechanical keyboard brands, I have a soft spot for the Heijue brand. The customized three-mode mechanical keyboard I bought recently is the Heijue AK966. Expectantly. 96 keys is one of its highlights. Heijue AK966 is a three-mode mechanical keyboard with a Gasket structure. It has been paid attention to since the brand warmed up. It is understood that it is also the latest work of Heijue to hit high-end products. Next, let’s learn with Uncle V, what’s so special about this customized keyboard?




From the time I got the package, I feel that the value for money is excellent. Compared with the previous packaging, it is more sincere and thoughtful, and it is textured and thick! The transparent design is used in the middle, so that people can see the real keyboard at a glance. Although only a part can be seen, it is also irresistible to surprise! After unpacking, you can see that the keyboard and accessories are arranged very neatly, and the process of unpacking is also full of ritual. You can see that Heijue has put great effort into this aspect.




Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard accessories are also very rich. In addition to the main body of the keyboard, there are also data cables, shaft puller and keycap device, Kaihua's new shaft tester, 4 Mac supplementary keycaps (including Control 2, Option 1, Common 1); In addition, it also comes with a keyboard dust cover and a replaceable volume knob.


It also has three colors to choose from: Senyu-yellow-green-white, Mengxia-pink-blue-white, Starry Night-yellow-gray-white. Because of the small fresh color of Senyu I bought, I like it very much.




Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard adopts customized popular Gasket gasket structure, such as PC positioning board, PORON material sandwich cotton, bottom cotton, shaft under pad, factory lubricated satellite shaft, etc. It has it all, and these are only customized There are.


The popular 98-column layout has 96 keys + metal volume knob. Its size is: 387.5*136.8*41.5mm, and its weight is: 1027g, which is quite heavy. It also supports 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects, and can also customize the color. There is also a music rhythm function that the lights can change with the rhythm of the music. You can also change the shaft freely, and the playability is very good.




In terms of details, the Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard is also handled very carefully. For example, the data cable adopts the currently popular Type-c interface, and it is a hidden socket. There is also a 2.4G receiver, which is placed in a hidden space on the right side of the keyboard, and it will not affect it when it is not in use. In addition to being beautiful, it can also prevent loss!




Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard adopts MDA height keycaps processed by PBT sublimation, which can obviously feel more comfortable when typing, and is more rounded visually. The characters and icons are very delicate, and they are integrated with the round keycaps, making the overall look more attractive.




Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard also adopts a two-stage foot support. The height of this ergonomic design can be adjusted at will to meet the usage habits of different groups of people and bring different typing comfort.




On the left is a three-mode switch, which is much more convenient in the actual experience. You can switch the desired connection mode by gently pushing it, that is, Bluetooth 5.0, wireless 2.4G and wired connection. You can see four in the number key area on the right. The status lights can respectively indicate the corresponding connection mode, which is clear at a glance!


From the actual experience, the stability and connection speed of wireless 2.4G are quite good, and the Bluetooth mode can support three-device switching, which is a very practical function for users with more devices!




Heijue AK966 mechanical keyboard supports full-key hot-swappable. It is equipped with Kaihua MX CREAM ice cream shaft, which is made of POM material and has self-lubricating properties. The more you use it, the smoother it is. As a keyboard with customized positioning, it supports full-key Hot-swappable, can meet the replacement of any shaft body.


In fact, Heijue AK966 is the first mass-produced keyboard equipped with the star switch of MX Ice Cream. In order to experience the fun of switching switches, it also comes with four new switches of Kaihua. Without further ado, let’s start directly. Change the shaft!




Because the shaft body can be disassembled, it can be disassembled and installed by using the built-in shaft puller. The advantage of this "hot swap" is that the shaft body can be replaced anytime and anywhere, and it is compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts. In addition, there is no need to worry about the power-on status of the keyboard, you can change the switch according to your personal usage habits, and truly feel the fun of DIY switch.




Although the Kaihua MX ice cream switch is also very hand-feeling, but I personally use the arrow keys more in the game experience, so I directly replaced the arrow keys! Because the keyboard uses the Gasket gasket structure design as a whole, coupled with the excellent shaft body, you can get a better typing and gaming experience! Especially the touch and feedback when the finger presses the keycap is very refreshing, and it is so comfortable to use it to code!



I bought Heijue's new AK966 mechanical keyboard again. It is very eye-catching in appearance, and the hardware configuration is also full of sincerity. It has everything that should be available for a customized product. Ordinary users can enjoy the excellent feel brought by the Gasket structure + three Poron noise reduction design without spending more waiting time, as well as the comfortable touch brought by the domestic Kaihua MX ice cream switch and PBT sublimation keycaps. In addition, The built-in 10000mAh lithium battery brings surprises for portable use, whether it is Bluetooth or wireless mode, the battery life is longer.


For such a 98 series mechanical keyboard, what else do you want to know? Discussion and attention are welcome.

Recently, some netizens asked, how to choose a mechanical keyboard worth over 200 yuan if you want to take advantage of Double Eleven?


After using it for a period of time, I believe that Rapoo V700-8A is a good choice, no matter in terms of price positioning or user experience, it is undoubtedly the best choice in the price range of 200 yuan.


If you know Rapoo, you know the concept of scene-based peripherals. The VT960S dual-mode wireless mouse equipped with V+ wireless gaming technology has a good reputation for battery life, delay, operating distance and anti-interference. This time, the keyboard is also listed as a good reputation.



Rapoo V700-8A keyboard, 75% is equipped with 84-key layout, small in size, only 310*120*35mm in size, compared with other keyboards, Rapoo V700-8A has a shrink design, without the function area keys displayed separately, but Through the FN key combination, the trigger of replacing the commonly used functions is realized, and the size is reduced, but the functions are not reduced.



Caressing the appearance of the keyboard, you can feel the sandblasted metal texture on the upper layer, which is completely different from ordinary plastic. The side is made of aluminum alloy frame, CNC trimming process, plus a conspicuous LOGO design, coupled with lighting effect, it looks high-end The child is full.



At the bottom, add a silicone tripod and non-slip foot pads, two tilt angles, the angle caters to the ergonomic design, and it is not sour to type for a long time or to control the game.



There are three styles of Rapoo V700-8A. The one in my hand is the Lonely Brave with red switches. The two-color ABS material keycap is concave, and it has a grainy touch. The percussion sound is crisp, straight up and down, and the paragraph feels light and crisp , The rebound speed is also very fast, and it is easy to use.



Because the Rapoo V700-8A mechanical keyboard uses a monochrome backlight, only white, but it can provide 7 lighting effects and 4 levels of brightness adjustment in the drive mode. Although there are no colorful colors, the scope of use is still relatively wide, which can bring different types of needs.



If you don’t need the lighting effect background, you can directly choose to turn it off and go out to work. The large battery capacity of 4000mAh can meet the battery life of nearly 225 hours, low power consumption and high battery life.


The Rapoo V700-8A multi-mode mechanical keyboard supports full-key no-click in wired mode, and supports 6-key no-click in any wireless mode. Support Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 3.0, wireless 2.4GHz, wired mode, and can switch between 5 devices.



In Bluetooth mode, Rapoo V700-8A supports switching between 3 devices. If there are multiple monitors, notebooks and other devices on the desktop, setting shortcut keys is enough to control the entire venue with one keyboard.


Of course, the iPad is also supported, and switching back and forth between the computer and the iPad is simple and fast.



For the driver, you can download it from the official website by yourself. Through the driver, you can customize the buttons and choose the lighting effect. In the wired mode, it supports full-key programmable, which is undoubtedly a good choice for users who pursue personalization.



The price is less than two hundred yuan, and the overall performance is good. However, it is a pity that there is no storage point for the 2.4G receiver on the keyboard. The storage is limited and easy to lose. However, it does not affect the use at home. Bluetooth connectivity is a nice touch.


There is one thing to say, if the budget is about 200 yuan, in terms of experience and configuration, it is a good choice to start with the Rapoo V700-8A, and the Double Eleven may have a bigger discount.

Since October 20, 1999, when everyone saw the animation of "One Piece" on TV for the first time, 23 years have passed. "One Piece" has brought countless people moved and dreamed, blood and warmth. How can twenty-three years change a person? It is enough for a child with a new mind to complete his studies and enter the society; for an ignorant teenager to have a double harvest in his career and family; for a passionate young man to know his destiny and begin to recall the past. The only thing that haunts us together is still this unfinished "One Piece" animation~



When did you start watching "One Piece"? How old are you now? When Luffy first went out to sea in a beer barrel, he uttered the famous line: "One Piece! I'm determined!" Then, he defeated Qi Wuhai all the way, challenged the Four Emperors, and got closer and closer to his dream. The memories of these scenes are the time that has accompanied us, and which classic scenes are deeply engraved in your mind?



These two keycaps are the One Piece co-branded resin keycaps released by ZOMO. ZOMO has produced many One Piece metal keycaps. This is the first time that the transparent resin keycaps made by 3D printing are used. The details of the miniature landscape inside the keycap are very rich and crystal clear under the light. In addition to the IP attributes of One Piece, it is also a very good work to look at the details alone.



Rab the Whale, he is the first creature that the Straw Hats encountered when flying over the Upside Down Mountain. He is a huge island whale with a hideous scar on his head and has a deep bond with Brooke.



Rab used to be the pet of the Rumba Pirates. When the Rumba Pirates decided to venture into the Great Channel, in order to avoid danger, they left Rab in front of the Reversing Mountain, and asked Rab to wait there for a while—"Wait until we go around the world for a while." When we come back from the circle, we can meet again." So Little Rab stayed behind with tears in his eyes, waiting for the return of the Rumba Pirates on this side of the Red Earth Continent.



However... this wait... is 50 years.



Everything in the world has changed, but Raab is still waiting for the return of his master on the Red Earth Continent. Wanting to see its master, it has been banging its head against the never-breakable red earth continent for decades, scarring itself and neighing sadly. It didn't know that its masters had died in battle on the Great Channel decades ago, and the only one who survived was the "dead" Brook. The result of the long wait was nothing but an endless wait.



It wasn't until he met Luffy and dueled with Luffy that Rab had a new target to wait for. "When we come back around the world, I will fight you again!" Not only for the agreement, but also to prevent Rab from hurting himself again, the logo of the Straw Hat Pirates was drawn on Rab's forehead (hitting the mainland, it will cause the logo damaged).



Then, Luffy miraculously met Brook during the trip and asked Brook to join him. It won't be long before those 50 years of bondage and promises come true.





If you meet Raab at the entrance of the Great Way, tell him that one day Brooke will return and sing the song of leaving home.




The inspiration for this keycap comes from the Upside Down Mountain in the Red Earth Continent.




In the One Piece animation, Upside Down Mountain is extremely high, located at the intersection of the four seas, and is one of the entrances to the great route.



There are a total of five waterways on the Upside Down Mountain. The four sloping sides are the waterways that flow in from the four seas. They converge at the top of the mountain and then flow out through a horizontal waterway. After going out, it is the great route.



The miniature landscape inside the keycap is lifelike, and the sea water, waves, and waves are distinct. The mountains and the sea are also distinguished with their own unique colors and textures.



Seeing it is like hearing the dream declaration of the Straw Hats before entering the great route!





Sanji: Alright, let's have a sailing ceremony to celebrate the ship sailing into the great route. I'm here to find All Blue!


Luffy: I want to become One Piece!


Nami: I did it to draw a world map.


Sauron: I want to become a great swordsman!


Usopp: I... in order to become a brave sea warrior.


Luffy: Let's go! To the great route!



As a One Piece fan, how can you easily forget the moment when you entered the great route? These two keycaps are bound to be in the bag, and I look forward to ZOMO can reproduce more classic scenes and characters~~

A New Axis Worth Watching



VERTEX - V1


Assiduous study, final refinement


Although there were early rumors that VERTEX would set foot in the shaft field, as time went by, this matter was slowly left in the deep sea of ​​memory. But VERTEX never gave up on this project.


On March 26th, VERTEX released an "IC" on the front line of the equipment, introducing their upcoming custom shaft - VERTEX V1


Their vision is to create a product that follows the classic MX switch type, continuously improve the performance of the switch body through mold customization, and at the same time give back to the majority of keyboard players at a reasonable price, taking this as an opportunity to establish a long-term operation and sales system.


The words "follow the classics" are quite memorable, but let's take a look at the specific parameters before discussing them.


Materials and parameters



In terms of materials, first of all, the classic nylon material and POM shaft are matched with the classic cherry shaft.


There are different opinions on the forum about the choice of material for the cherry shaft shell. I personally think that early keyboards were mostly welded, so Cherry chose nylon reinforcement to improve the high temperature resistance of the shell. However, with the advancement of technology and the emergence of hot-swappable shaft seats, the restrictions on the material of the shaft shell have been greatly reduced, and we also have more choices and possibilities.


Look at the parameters



Full stroke: 4.0±0.3mm


Pre-stroke: 2.0±0.3mm


Initial strength: 35gf(min)


Operating force: 50±10gf


Bottom force: 62±10gf


Spring: 15mm stainless steel non-gold-plated spring


Although the data of VERTEX is exactly the same as that of Cherry red shaft, the design of using spherical point-shaped shaft core column to touch the bottom is completely different from Cherry's style.


Now there are a lot of introductions and typing sound tests for this switch on the platform. Maybe VERTEX initially envisioned making a modern version of the Cherry red switch, but judging from the final product, it seems that it has nothing to do with hg.



Back on the topic of cherry flavor, this is an interesting question because everyone may have a different opinion. I had a chat with my cousin about this when the shaft came out, and he had an interesting answer.


The taste of Cherry I know is also because of the special nylon material of Cherry. All switch factories imitated and borrowed from Cherry in the early days, but they just couldn't solve the problem of nylon material. And now many players talk about the rustling sound. I have never thought this is a characteristic of Cherry, and I even think it is a disadvantage. I believe that all players who played Cherry in the past will not like its rustling sound, which is why they will do it. main reason for lubrication


I personally think that the unique charm of the Cherry shaft may lie in its sandy feeling after lubrication. This strange hand experience is precisely the important source of the Cherry flavor. Just like stinky tofu, it is because of its smell that people feel fragrant.


According to this IC post, summarize the following points:


JWICK used a brand new injection molding machine when producing the V1 shaft body


Gold-palladium alloy contacts are used, and optimized adjustments are made to weaken the shaking and shrapnel sound during impact.


As for the assembly line, point-spray fog surface treatment is added to obtain a better factory moist effect.


On the detection line, in addition to completing the basic detection, the screening of spring sound and shrapnel sound was also carried out.


JWICK is equipped with 3 injection molding machines and a new automatic operation line dedicated to the V1 axis to achieve rolling capacity support,


The launch of the V1 shaft this time has indeed brought many exciting elements, whether it is the product's publicity gimmick or consumers' expectations for its performance, it has reached a very high level. Especially considering its single price of 1.8 yuan, coupled with factory run and exclusive mold blessing, it is even more difficult to restrain curiosity about its performance. 1.8 JWK, with such cost performance, it is not difficult to make people look forward to the performance of this shaft.



Buying advice:


Since this axis is a long-term continuous supply type of large goods, you can wait for more players to buy and experience before making a choice. Of course, the reputation of VERTEX in the industry is obvious to all, buy early and experience early.

Recently, I suddenly wanted to build a table. I bought two monitors, a headset set and a wireless mouse. The only thing missing is a wireless keyboard. My requirements for wireless keyboards are relatively simple, with good looks and good hand feel. Looking at the keyboard market, there are many keyboards that meet this requirement, but they always feel that they lack new ideas. When I saw the Hubatu F75 wireless mechanical keyboard, its beautiful appearance, Gasket structure and TTC shaft made me start with it.


Hubatu F75 wireless mechanical keyboard has four theme colors: Furong Rouge, Drunken Gold, Moonlight Chanjuan and Hanjiangxue. Each theme color has two switch bodies, TTC Neptune switch and TTC Rabbit switch, to choose from. I started with the hibiscus rouge version of the TTC Neptune axis. It is packaged in an off-white cardboard box, with a golden keyboard line drawing, logo and product model on it, with a variety of hidden expressions of tigers and rabbits, presenting a sense of fashion and elegance. It is suitable for personal use as a gift for everyone.



In addition to the main body of the keyboard, the list of materials for Tiger Batu F75 includes a transparent dust cover, cleaning box, shaft puller, aviation plug-in cable and foot pads. The accessories are rich and exquisite in workmanship.



I first saw Tiger Batu F75, which adopts 75% arrangement, 81-key design, compact layout, and retains complete keyboard functions. Compared with traditional keyboards, it saves about 30% of desktop space and can provide more peripherals such as mice. There is more space for activities, and the operation is more free; the keyboard does not use the traditional black and white tones as a whole, but multi-color splicing such as deep pink, light pink and milky white, which fits the theme of hibiscus rouge.



There is a round metal nameplate on the back of Hubatu F75, with smooth electroplating process and rose gold color, which is more delicate. After pressing and taking it off, I found that the 2.4G receiver is located in it. This storage compartment adopts magnetic suction, which is not easy to drop, easy to store and carry, it can be said to be ingenious.



The Tiger Batu F75 floor pad also adopts the method of magnetic attraction, and comes with different height pads for replacement. For users, the tilt angle of the keyboard can be adjusted according to their own needs. At the same time, the bottom of the foot pad is covered with silicone, which is stable and non-slip when placed on the table.



There is a decorative strip on the top of the Hubatu F75, with a rose gold frame, Chinese and English hibiscus rouge words, and the logo below to enhance the keyboard quality.




The left side of Hubatu F75 is equipped with a power switch key and a TYPE-C interface, and it is wrapped with a rose gold frame, which is both beautiful and practical.



There is a small 1.14-inch TFT color screen and a delicate scroll wheel in the upper right corner of the Tiger Batu F75, which add the finishing touch to the beauty of the keyboard. As for their functions, they will be explained in detail later.



Hubatu F75 adopts three connection methods: Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless and USB cable. You can switch the connection method with one key through the physical switch on the right side of the keyboard.



Tiger Batu F75 is a mechanical keyboard, the core configuration includes the switch body. The TTC Neptune shaft it uses is a linear shaft type and has a service life of 100 million times. It adopts a high-speed rail structure, 2.0mm trigger stroke and 41gf trigger pressure. The trigger is smooth and sensitive, the rebound is fast, the light transmission is good, and the pressing is relatively labor-saving. Even if you tap for a long time, you will not feel numbness in your fingertips. This keyboard adopts TTC triangular hot-swappable shaft seat, which supports most three-legged and five-legged shafts on the market. All shafts support hot-swappable, and you can DIY according to your own preferences.


Looking at the structure again, the Hubatu F75 adopts the very hot gasket structure of the key ring, with a transparent PC positioning board with better softness and elasticity. By setting the silicone pad and sound-absorbing cotton inside the keyboard, the keyboard can be used during the typing process. Cavity sound and steel wire sound are eliminated, and the pressing feeling is also very comfortable.



Hubatu F75 uses PBT material two-color keycaps, and the surface is made of fine sand, which makes the hand feel delicate, wear-resistant and non-greasy. At the same time, the curved design of the keycap fits the fingertips, and the golden angle of typing is formed with the foot pad, which makes tapping labor-saving and conforms to ergonomics.



Nowadays, notebooks, tablets and mobile phones are often used in mobile office. Different devices and operating systems require keyboards to support multi-mode and multi-device connections. Hubatu F75 supports three-mode connection, can connect 5 devices via Bluetooth, 2.4G and USB cable, and supports Android, MAC OS, IOS and Windows systems. Through the switch on the right side of the keyboard, you can switch back and forth between different devices. The switching process is smooth and stable after connection, which effectively improves office efficiency.



Hubatu F75 is equipped with a 1.14-inch TFT-LCD color screen, which is bright and wear-resistant. It can display date, time, power and connection mode, etc. Its colors are bright and the display effect is delicate.



Through the driver of Hubatu F75 keyboard, you can also customize the GIF display. After I imported the picture of chicken pecking rice, the GIF of chicken pecking rice displayed on the screen is very vivid, which makes people feel happy and cheerful at work.




Tiger Batu F75 For multimedia control, in addition to the commonly used pause, fast forward and rewind, the most noticeable thing is the volume knob. It adopts anodizing process, the surface is knurled, and the volume can be adjusted by rotating. It is very convenient to use while looking good.



When using the keyboard at night, I like to turn on the RGB lighting to create a sense of atmosphere. Hubatu F75 supports full-color dynamic RGB, with 22 built-in lighting effects. After the lights are turned on, the lights and lighting effects bring a strong visual impact, especially the rhythm with the music, which increases the playability of the keyboard.




Hubatu F75 has a built-in 4800mAh ultra-large-capacity lithium battery, which can be used continuously for 400 hours when the lights are turned off and the display is turned off. Calculated by using 4 hours a day, it only needs to be charged 4 times a year. It can be used for 16 hours even with the lights on. This is much higher than the battery life of most keyboards on the market, eliminating the trouble of frequent charging.



Since I am quite satisfied with the appearance and feel of Hubatu F75, I listed it as the main keyboard and placed it on the lift table to form a table with a 32-inch monitor and Bluetooth speakers. It is a good looking product.



After some experience, I think the Hubatu F75 wireless mechanical keyboard is exquisite and stylish, and the TTC Neptune switch feels comfortable, especially the application of the color screen and the knob, which brought me an unexpected surprise. For now, this keyboard is undoubtedly a good choice for people who need a table and code words.
