As we all know, although Apple products have unique features, the accessories that come with them make me feel a little uncomfortable. Take the iMac as an example. It cost more than 10,000 yuan to deliver a set of keyboard and mouse that is not easy to use, especially the keyboard is not only small but also the design of the keys is very compact. This gives me code words, P Maps, etc. have brought a lot of influence, so I want to replace it more and more. In the early stage, I also searched for a lot of keyboards, but not many of them are fully compatible with the iMac system. Apple is very picky. It is either a Bluetooth pairing problem or a delay in the key signal. Recently, I got my hands on the Dareu A87Pro three-mode mechanical keyboard. Can it be better compatible with Apple computers? Please see my online experience sharing.

It can be known from the outer packaging that this is an 87-key mechanical keyboard. This time I chose the Zijin Switch Pro developed by Dareu. In fact, it also has a Sky Switch V3 version, which is more suitable for girls.

In terms of accessories, in addition to the Dareu A87Pro keyboard, it is also equipped with a data cable, a key puller, and an instruction manual.

I have used mechanical keyboards such as red switches, black switches, and brown switches before, and this is the first time I have used the Zijin Switch Pro. It can be known from the product manual that Zijin Switch Pro uses a brand-new fence-type shaft core structure, and high-density gold-plated springs are also used inside. That's why it's particularly comfortable to operate.

Dareu A87Pro is designed as an 87 keyboard, with a size of 363mm*135mm*37m, a weight of 964g, and a medium-sized key body. Except for the number keypad, other function keys are equipped. In addition, the appearance of this keyboard is very high, the overall color is sky blue, the enter key has a rainbow pattern, and the backspace key is also printed with stars and moons, which seems to have a sense of agility.

Its buttons are designed in a square shape and made of PBT material, which is more comfortable to touch. Its keycap characters are made of two-color injection molding, which is more wear-resistant than ordinary printing, and will not fade over time.

The working indicator light of the keyboard is placed above the cursor keypad, so that it is easier to see at close range.

Users who like to DIY can use the attached key puller to remove the keycap. During operation, both sides need to be fixed at the same time, and it can be removed with a light pull. After the keycap is removed, you can see its purple gold switch Pro switch body. According to official data, the life of this purple gold shaft can reach 80 million times, the operating force is about 60±5gf, and the total key stroke is 3.3±0.3mm.

The mechanical switch body can also be removed with the other end of the key puller. This keyboard supports hot swapping, so its mechanical switch can also be folded and installed under normal working conditions.

It is worth mentioning that the Dareu A87Pro mechanical keyboard supports the coexistence of multiple switches. It can be used with 99% of the mechanical switches on the market, which means that it can integrate brown switches, green switches, red switches, black switches, etc. , Let users enjoy the experience of using different shafts together.

The Dareu A87Pro mechanical keyboard supports three interconnection methods: USB wired, 2.4G wireless and BT Bluetooth. When switching, just click the gear on the left side of the keyboard to achieve it.

If you choose 2.4G wireless connection, you need to plug its USB transceiver into the computer, and then use the wireless mode for docking.

If the wired mode is used, one end of the built-in USB data cable needs to be connected to the computer, and the other end of the typc-C is inserted into the keyboard interface.

I use the Bluetooth mode to link with the iMac, the operation is also very simple, first switch to the BT mode, and then use the FN+Q key combination to start the blue pairing mode, and it will be found on the computer soon.

iMac can quickly find Dareu A87Pro, which is much faster than other Bluetooth devices. Then, click connect to use this keyboard. As a reminder, use the FN+W key combination to switch to the MAC system mode, so that you can use various hotkeys like the original keyboard.

The Dareu A87Pro with a full-key and no-stroke design is especially easy to use under iMac. No matter how many keys are pressed, it can respond to the trigger instantly, which is very helpful for users who like to use combination keys.

After using this keyboard, I feel that my code words are much faster than before, and it is much more convenient to use shortcut keys when processing PS images. I really hope that Dareu can produce a mouse that matches the keyboard, so that the bulky Apple original mouse can be replaced.

In daily use, you can also turn on its RGB backlight effect, use FN+[to switch lighting mode or use FN+] to switch the color of the light effect, but I turned it off to save power.

Finally, let’s talk about its battery life. It has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery. It can be used for up to 45 days without the RGB lighting effect, and it can also be used for a week when the lighting effect mode is turned on. In addition, it is equipped with a smart sleep function by default, even if you forget to turn off the power, it will help you save a lot of power.

Experience summary

As a three-mode mechanical keyboard designed with 87 keys, it not only has a high value but also is very practical, especially with a strong hand feel. Today, it has become my main keyboard, which not only improves my coding speed, but also helps in processing P pictures and PR videos. Finally, let me tell you that this mechanical keyboard is very compatible with the iMac, and the key delay is almost the same as the original keyboard, and the battery life is not bad. I recommend more Apple computer users to choose it.

Many people have always adhered to the money-saving rule of "use it when you can use it" for peripherals, and even insisted on not changing peripherals for several years. But the result of this is that the peripherals suddenly fail, which often delays the office process and game progress, and then passively upgrades at a high price. It is currently on the 618 promotion, and many products have unprecedented discounts. Based on my experience in using peripherals, I recommend a few products that are practical and not expensive. I hope they can help you.

I heard that the ultimate keyboard is to take the route of customization, and the powerful DIY attributes make many keyboard fans yearn for it. Miwu recently launched its own customized mechanical keyboard BlackIO 98. The transparent black crystal design, open-source customization, and full-blooded configuration make people drool, so hurry up and try it out.

There are three colors to choose from, I chose dark purple. The overall dark exterior reveals a hint of other colors inside, thanks to the transparent design giving people a special feeling. The influence of the purple transparent keycap on the appearance of the keyboard is obvious. It is completely different from the texture of other material keyboards. The reflection under the light is more obvious, and it has a blingbling texture.

The overall 98-key layout makes the size of the entire keyboard similar to 87 keys, but compared with 104 keys, there are at least 6 keys, which also allows the small keyboard to be retained. For friends who care about the size of the keyboard but are reluctant to part with the small keyboard, 98 keys are just right.

There are also many small details on the keycaps. The main print is mainly white, and the purple font looks clearer. What is more special is that there are some special symbols under the print, such as a blue one under the DEL. There are several horizontal bars under the X and INS, where the cursor inserts a blank line, which basically tells you the function of this button. These small designs are still very friendly.

而像左右侧的功能键像TAB、CAPS、SHIFT、CTRL、WIN、ALT上面还有一些小小的字体，比如TAB上右侧有示意图标，下面有Height-7.6mm & 1.5U，CAPS右侧有大写A，底下是Height-7.6mm & 1.75U，也就是这几个按键有不同的手感，客制化的结果。

There is Innovation in the Open above the blank space. Innovation in the Open is a motto and a Slogan. The IO in BlackIO comes from this sentence. The transparency of the space is stronger than other keycaps, and you can see a touch of purple underneath.

The arrow keys are completely different from other transparent keycaps. The electroplated purple keycaps are very attractive, and the high-end feeling is immediately reflected.

More functions can be used with combination keys, such as mode switching needs to be realized with FN+1234, supports 3 Bluetooth devices and 2.4G wireless, and also supports wired connection, a serious three-mode keyboard.

The more detailed point is behind the keyboard, there are power button, wired/2.4G Bluetooth switch, WIN/MAC mode switch, Type-C interface for wired connection, and storage compartment for 2.4G wireless receiver. This piece is covered with a layer of purple shell, and the material is the same as that of the arrow keys.

The keyboard comes with a 4000mAh battery, and the battery life is still very objective. It also supports charging and using in wired mode.

There are 5 non-slip feet on the bottom of the keyboard, and 2-stage feet to adjust different keyboard heights. There are regular horizontal stripes in the middle, and the anti-slip is really well done.

The Kaihua jellyfish switch used by BlackIO 98 on the switch body, you can see that the whole switch body is transparent, which means that the switch body can also emit light when the light is on. With a transparent keycap, you can Imagine transparent light effects.

BlackIO 98 uses a Gasket structure, that is, a gasket structure, without screws. At most, the upper and lower shells are fixed with screws, and the fixing of the positioning plate is mainly completed by the pressure of the upper and lower shells. The hand feel is soft, elastic and warm. In fact, the experience is similar. With the material and structural design of the all-silicone seal, the first experience is quite special.

It can be seen that the use of purple transparent keycaps can effectively reduce the highlights and bring a good feeling. The entire keyboard is illuminated, and the bend of the keycaps is opaque due to the thickness, which makes the shape of the entire keycaps Outlined by lights. The white characters printed on the keycaps are more obvious under the light.

BlackIO 98 supports full-color RGB backlight, comes with 18 kinds of lighting effects by default, and can also realize DIY lighting effects through VIA driver.

▲Black and blue lighting effect

▲Yellow lighting effect

Since it is a customized keyboard, open source is very necessary, so BlackIO 98 supports QMK open source firmware and VIA open source software, which can realize more highly customized content, such as adding Bluetooth modules to the keyboard, adding screens, knobs, etc., and programming by yourself Play by yourself and make your own keyboard. QMK with VIA can realize the modification of keyboard keys, eliminating the trouble of swiping and matching. If you really want to play, you can really play a lot of tricks, this is the ultimate goal of customization.

The BlackIO 98 of Miwu can be said to be full of sincerity, both the appearance design and the function configuration are full of blood configuration, whether it is a beginner or a DIY player, there is room for use. The detailed design of purple transparent crystal keycaps and small icons with RGB lighting effect is really rough, the feel of the Gasket structure is indeed different, and the switching between three-mode wireless and WIN/MAC is very detailed. The support of QMK and VIA makes the keyboard more playable and truly customizable.

When I was at work today, my colleague suddenly asked, what are the keys on the computer side for? Except for a Delete key that can be used, I can't use the rest~

Then I just finished explaining it to her, and I will share it with you today, hoping to help you when you are working~

For screenshots, you can capture the entire screen content in any interface. The advantage is that it is not limited by the software, and the disadvantage is that it cannot be selected. (In fact, this can also be understood as copying the screen. After pressing, it will only appear when pasted into a dialog box or document)

Combined with the up and down keys, you can scroll through the table without jumping from grid to grid.

This key can pause the program, you can try it when the computer is very stuck.

You can click to eat words in the WeChat dialog box.

When typing, the cursor is at the end, if you want to move to the front, press the home key, otherwise press the end key.

When viewing documents, the mouse wheel is too troublesome, you can use Page Up to turn the page up, and Page Down to turn the page down.

Can delete the content behind the mouse cursor

The useless knowledge has increased again. I feel that you should just read it. It should be the same as me. Except for one Delete, if you read the rest today, you may not remember what you are doing tomorrow~haha~~bye

For 199 yuan, you can buy any bike with any configuration! PBT material keycaps/hot-swappable full-key/wireless three-mode/factory lubrication adjustment/gasket structure/full poron filling, and the knob is not flush? The main reason is that the material used for the bottom filling is very fierce, and it should feel very good.

Opening the package, the accessories include a charging cable, a shaft puller, a welcome card and an instruction manual. The overall appearance is not bad, with brown and white pbt keycaps, and the characters are a bit large. The keycaps mentioned on the Internet also have some burrs. I can accept this, but I can replace it by myself. The knob and mode switch in the upper right corner are made of plastic, which is a bit cheap, but what kind of bike do you want at this price. Since the keycap pbt is opaque, the rgb light only flows in the gap.

The tuning of the keyboard is really good. Compared with my rk87, the sound is completely different, the bottom is thicker, and the full filling is really something. But I don’t know if it’s because the padding is too thick. The height of the keyboard base is a bit high, and it’s quite tiring to type without a hand rest. In addition, there is no prompt when switching capitalization, there is no light, and sometimes it is not known whether it is capitalized, which is quite easy to make mistakes when entering the password. This keyboard uses a 65 arrangement, so it is really useless, if it is not for portable people, it is not recommended to buy. Just these three slots, I don’t know if you can accept them. It is worth mentioning that this matcha switch looks like a green switch, but it is actually a linear red switch, but the key stroke is not as long as the g yellow pro, and it is still easy and comfortable to play.

This keyboard is suitable for players who do not toss but like a fully padded structure, and some users who travel frequently and need a portable keyboard. Ordinary office users need more keys, and game users also need keys in specific areas, such as the f area, which is not available in the Forerunner c65. It’s not a loss if you buy it at the price of 179. I don’t know how about vgn, but I feel that this one can be improved. If it is 299 yuan with 98 keys and the shortcomings are made up, it may sell well.
