I don’t know if you still remember those key points when we bought a mechanical keyboard in those years, but I remember that my first mechanical keyboard, like most people, paid the most attention to what kind of switch body was used, and the second is to look at it. There is no configuration for RGB light pollution. At that time, the cherry switch was really expensive, so the first mechanical keyboard I chose used the domestic Jiadalong switch body, and it is still in use until now. Except for the appearance, it has no bright spots. What a big problem. But have you noticed that in the past few years, most of the mechanical keyboards have been in a state of no design, either paying a lot of money to buy high-end keyboards like ammunition boxes, or accepting a mediocre appearance. But since last year, there have been a lot of mechanical keyboards with a sense of design. I also started to notice the brand Luofei at this time. A major feature of this brand is that it not only guarantees the feel and dly playability of mechanical keyboards, but also The mechanical keyboard has been made fresh and refined. Compared with the high-end keyboards that cost thousands of dollars at every turn, Luo Fei, a brand that faces mass consumers, has a different taste. After so many years, although I have grown a lot older, I believe that there are still people of the same age who pursue digital products. Many people around me will choose to use a mechanical keyboard in the office at the same time, but they have to match the office style. Perhaps it is the main reason why Luofei Keyboard wants to create a multi-scenario keyboard. Who said that the scene and the feel can’t be taken into account, and because of this, I also bought the mechanical keyboard that Luofei just released not long ago-Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray mechanical keyboard, and briefly share my experience as an old mechanical keyboard user. What is the first thing that attracted me to the Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray mechanical keyboard? It must be a fresh, literary, modern and minimalist design. I believe this is the main reason why most users choose to start with this mechanical keyboard. But not to mention that the appearance is really good-looking, even if I use it in the office, it fits into the scene very well, it is elegant and not fancy, who can resist beautiful things. As an office worker who sits on a chair for a long time, if there is any standard for choosing a keyboard, it must be comfortable to use, including comfortable typing and comfortable connection. The damage doesn't seem to be light. Coupled with the wrist pressure caused by typing and documenting for a long time, I want a mechanical keyboard that puts less pressure on my fingers and can get rid of the shackles of wires. Although the 11.5° tilt of Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray mechanical keyboard cannot completely solve the soreness of the wrist, the pressure has indeed been reduced a lot, but this design is indeed tilted, you can taste it carefully. If the wired connection was a helpless move for mechanical keyboards in the past, then it seems unreasonable to say that the mechanical keyboard still does not support wireless connection this year. If I were to start with a wired keyboard again, I would definitely be unwilling. In this regard, I think Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray mechanical keyboard is very comprehensive. It supports Bluetooth, 2.4G wireless, wired connection, and is compatible with Windows, Mac, iPad os and other devices, so that I can switch at will whether I am a notebook or a tablet. . For a mechanical keyboard, in addition to the excellent shaft body, the keyboard is also a place that affects the feel. I thought the focus of the Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray mechanical keyboard was the design. Maybe the design has forgotten the design of the keycap. up. But when I used this PBT keycap matte feel experience keycap for the first time, it gave me another feeling, which belongs to the keycap with more obvious perception, but since we talk about the feel here, let’s feel the shaft body together It's over. Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray mechanical keyboard uses Jiadalong G yellow switch Pro this time. It belongs to a domestic big brand and has been developed for many years. There are basically no faults in the quality of the switch body. However, in terms of feel, it is a bit similar to my previous red switch. The paragraph feeling is not strong, and the key experience is silky. At first glance, it is mainly considered for office users. It belongs to the experience of silky, and the pressure on the wrist is relatively small after long-term use. Shaft body, even girls can easily control it. As far as the overall performance of the Luofei Xiaoqiao cement gray mechanical keyboard is concerned, the design of this keyboard is still the place that impresses me the most. The delicate touch and fresh and artistic appearance are much more comfortable than expected for office work. It can be said that it is a rare high-end design mechanical keyboard that is priced by civilians for mass consumption. You must know that it also has a mechanical switch body from Jiadalong G Yellow Switch Pro. For keyboard users who want design and feel, it will be a nice choice that I recommend for a few years.

In recent years, key rings can be described as a fight between gods and gods. Except for foreign manufacturers who seem to have no big movements, domestic manufacturers are not only fighting like a raging fire, but also new brands are springing up like mushrooms after rain. What we want to know is Dareu, which has not only rolled up but also rolled out new tricks in recent years. Today we are going to talk about one of their products that can be said to be famous with one "key" - Dareu A98 Gasket structure mechanical keyboard. Starting from the A87 theme version of Dareu, the packaging of Dareu products began to follow the product design. The overall look and feel will be much more comfortable than the previous black and white outer packaging. You can know what color you are buying by looking at the outer packaging. up. The accessories of Dareu A98 are quite satisfactory, and there are more practical supplementary keycaps, two-in-one shaft puller and operation instruction card. The supplementary keycaps are the yellow ones on the keyboard, and the factory-made keycaps are pure blue and white, which is also a pretty match. Dareu A98 is a mechanical keyboard with a gasket structure launched at the end of 21. It has three colors, namely industrial gray, mecha blue and riding the wind and waves. Mecha blue should be the most popular. After all, the subsequent products have continued the appearance and color scheme of mecha blue, so that everyone can assemble a desktop peripheral set of the same style. The A98 configuration design is relatively popular in recent years, basically retaining the full-size key functions (number keys, function key area), and the size is close to 80% of the size of the configuration mechanical keyboard, which can be said to complement each other in terms of use. Dareu's customized shaft can be said to be very powerful. From the newly launched V1 version of the sky shaft and Zijin shaft, it has been upgraded to the current V3 version within half a year. The shaft core structure and spring of the V3 version have been improved. It can be said that each generation is stronger than the previous generation. In addition, a candy shaft with soft bullets has been launched. Dareu’s sky axis only has a pressure of 40gf in terms of hand feel. The stability and life of the upgraded axis core have been improved a lot. The lighter linear axis feels more popular, and the price is cheaper than gold powder. In the linear axis body It is also a good choice. In 21 years, major domestic manufacturers have already started hot-swapping, and almost all the hot-sold mechanical keyboards this year are mechanical keyboards with shaft seat hot-swapping design. Dareu, from A87 to A100 to A84, to the A98 in hand and many subsequent A-series mechanical keyboards are basically equipped with three-pin and five-pin axle seat hot-swappable as standard. The hot-swapping of the shaft seat is indeed more convenient for beginners. You don’t need too many tools to experience different shafts, and you don’t need to say that you have to change the keyboard every time you want to try a different shaft. Costly. The next step is the key gasket structure design. Dareu A98 has a high internal filling density. In addition to the thick silicone sandwich between the PC board and the PCB, in order to better achieve decavity, there is a layer on the base. The thick silicone layer that fits the bottom cover is very suitable for the mechanical keyboard of the gasket structure. The PC fixed design was relatively rare in the mass-produced gasket structure mechanical keyboards at that time. The positioning plate made of steel plate was changed to soft and tough plastic with certain toughness, and in order to reduce the sinking imbalance of different parts of the keyboard, it was directly filled Inside the keyboard, it achieves soft bounce and stability. Whether at that time or today, many gasket mechanical keyboards with metal positioning plate structures still use edge sponges to cushion the hollow structure to achieve elastic effects (also because they are too obsessed with this soft elastic, the sinking and elasticity of keys in different areas of the keyboard are quite different. ). The left side of the three-mode version is the mode switching push button, and the right side is the storage compartment of the receiver. The quality of Dareu's PBT keycaps is still very good, both in appearance and touch. I have seen a lot of big guys say that the big key position pulls the hips or something, but it seems that there is not much difference in actual use. Maybe I am not so sensitive to the button feel. The overall feel is still very stable, and the gasket structure is matched with the sky axis V3, and the sound is relatively small. In terms of lighting, RGB is still applied directly without hesitation, but the keycaps are not transparent, and the lighting effect is not very obvious. In general, this A98gasket structural mechanical keyboard did cause a lot of echoes in the key ring at that time (both good and bad). But from the perspective of an ordinary user, the structure of a gasket is different from most of the gaskets on the market (more materials are used, and the cavity is really removed), and its performance and configuration are basically full. Many subsequent products will continue to use the A98. Some of the advantages (PC fixed + silica gel layer of the new Yuanqi Fangtang, A87pro upgraded one-piece fence structure silica gel layer). This A98 gasket structure mechanical keyboard can indeed be said to be Dareu's "key" famous work.

I have an old mechanical keyboard in my hand. At the beginning, I thought the black keyboard looked very handsome, but now I find that it really has no personality at all, it is ugly and ugly, but it is a pity to throw it away. After all, it costs hundreds of dollars. I bought it. Later, I discovered that in fact, only a set of keycaps needs to be replaced to bring the keyboard back to life, bringing a completely different experience. In the choice of keycaps, I chose the top industrial design Lofree brand in the peripheral category, and I bought two sets of keycaps at once, which are the two themes of "shipboard panda" and "Pharaoh". A set of keycaps is 131 keys, which is enough to meet the needs of various keyboards. The keycap packaging of each theme is also different. For example, the panda theme is in black and white style, while the pharaoh theme is in kraft paper style. The packaging box is about the same size as the keyboard, but the weight is very light. It is amazing after opening, all the keycaps are neat and beautiful. There are many keycap themes this time, all created by Lofree Luofei and many external designers, and Lofree Luofei will continue to update the keycap themes, and new products will appear every quarter! Let me talk about the keycap with the theme of "shipboard panda". Its color is not black and white, but dark blue, dark red, gold and white. There is also a panda-themed pattern, which has some mecha style. The reason why it looks so beautiful is because the keycaps of Lofree are all made of self-developed high-precision molds, which have a unique aesthetic feeling! Carefully observe each keycap, the workmanship is very excellent, the keycaps of Lofree are made of PBT material, five-sided sublimation process, compared with my previous keycaps, it can be found that ordinary keycaps will become shiny after a period of time , but the PBT material of Lofree's keycaps will not be oiled, and it can be brand new no matter how you use it. A keycap extractor is included with the package, which can easily remove the keycaps for replacement. Although it is a big project to replace so many keycaps, in order to bring the keyboard back to life, there is still some patience. After replacing the keycaps, look at it again. Is it completely different from the previous keyboard? The black bottom with white keycaps, and red as embellishment, is so handsome! Moreover, the font of the Lofree keycap is very large, it looks very clear, and the recognition rate is very high, so you don't have to worry about typos anymore. Because my keyboard is 88 keys, so I didn’t completely use up all the keycaps. I can just choose a few of them for replacement. For example, if I replace some of them with golden keycaps, does it look more Is it cool? This degree of freedom is very high, and you can completely customize a set of your own personalized keyboard appearance, which is full of creativity. Let’s take a look at some of the buttons that I haven’t used. The small keyboard area is full of details, full of technology, and the color matching is also very elegant. Look at some other keys, each one has a rich design and cool patterns, it can be seen that Lofree is very careful in keycaps. In addition to this "shipboard panda" theme keycap, I also started another set of "Pharaoh" theme keycaps, let's take a look at this keycap. Pharaoh keycaps are mainly pink, yellow and blue, but the purity of these colors is not high, but a pink and tender feeling, which looks very soft and the overall visual effect is very comfortable, even if it is blue Also great for women. The patterns on the keys are mainly traditional Egyptian patterns. There are beautiful patterns on the dark blue function keys, but the text is weakened. However, people who are familiar with the keyboard do not need to read the text at all, and it does not affect the use. The small keyboard is mainly red, the larger key is a complete pattern, while the smaller key will cut the pattern, which looks very artistic. In the central area of ​​the letter keys, exactly 10 keys are yellow, forming a pyramid pattern, which brings a beautiful decoration to the keyboard as a whole. There is also the handsome flying eagle pattern on the space bar, which is very beautiful! Naturally, there is no doubt about the feel. The touch is comfortable, and the keycaps with a concave center feel very good when tapped, which definitely makes daily use more compelling. So as long as you have this set of Lofree keycaps, you can change any keyboard at will to make any keyboard unique and full of personality, and it can also bring old keyboards back to life for years to come! I wonder if you like this set of keycaps?
