Mechanical keyboards must be familiar to everyone. In the peripheral circle, they are undoubtedly among the best sharp tools. As the saying goes: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools." In the past, when we purchased mechanical hard drives, Most of them are based on the axis body, brand, and price. The most common appearance is nothing more than black/white color matching, which has no appreciation at all. A little deeper is various joint names, just more colors, but it has become popular recently. Lofree is doing something again, what's wrong?

——Never Expected Series

Can Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao play customization? Easily create a "unique" mechanical keyboard of your own, in order to find out. Yes, I went into the pit to test the water first, so I came up with this "Amway" article today. To put it simply, it is that Lofree provides a wealth of keycaps for users to choose from. We can choose keycaps, It's interesting to DIY the shell to get the "needed" keyboard, isn't it?

It's not a skin... no, it's a skin, but it's just a physical keycap

When I saw this picture at the time, I thought it was a skin of a certain input method, O(∩_∩)O haha~ I got on the car because I liked a certain skin. In fact, I have played a lot of keyboards , but it's the first time I've seen this kind of gameplay. Closer to home, let's start with a driving tutorial.

Make up the ticket and get on the train: WX so-and-so search for "Luo Fei Build" - select "Xiaoqiao Keyboard" - select "Keycap" -OK! Simple isn't it? I chose the Xiaoqiao 100-bit cement gray color scheme, and the [Skin] choice is the [Street Attitude] keycap. There are many creative keycaps, and it feels cute.

The moment I received the product, I thought it was a good keycap, but I didn’t expect it to be a separate type, that is to say, I will receive two boxes, namely the street attitude keycap and the Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard, which need to be assembled by myself , feel the fun of DIY.

Street attitude keycaps: Ta’s design is rather cute, and its appearance is yyds. It hits the vision directly. From this photo, you can find that the pattern of this skin keycap is cute. Well, it’s really exquisite. It adopts large fonts, cute patterns, black, white and gray There are different colors, and the Esc key is as dazzling as a lone ranger.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard: the body supports three modes, that is, Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4G receiving, and Type-c wired mode. The three modes can be switched at will. In this way, the use environment of Xiaoqiao is very Wide range, no matter it is usually in the PC office or game scene, it can also be connected to mobile phones, tablets, TVs, boxes and other devices.

List of accessories: certificate, manual, warranty card, key puller, 1 Type-C data cable, 3 AAA batteries.

Do it yourself to have enough food and clothing, and at the same time experience the joy of "assembly"! Hello everyone, my name is Foxconn Assembly Line, and my job number is 9527 Xiaohong. My daily job is to assemble keyboards.

Cough... Cough... Stop making trouble, is it difficult to get started, in fact, moving the keys is super simple, just move them one by one to the small warped body shell according to the position of the keycaps.

By the way, the Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard (cement gray color) in my hand uses Jiadalong G Yellow Switch Pro. How to say this kind of switch? The knocking sound is completely different from the crackling and crisp sound of tea switches and green switches. The sound is relatively small, straight up and down, and the smoothness and smoothness left a deep impression on me. The pressure is moderate and the trigger speed is fast. It belongs to both office and game. god axis.

Unknowingly, the keycaps have been installed. The street attitude keycaps are really cute. If you observe carefully, you will find that the cartoon image design of the keycaps in the white area is in place. The commonly used letters and the number area on the right are black. It is more prominent and clear to use, while the two rows of F1, F2, F3...1/2/3 are similar to gray, and I personally like this set of keycaps very much.

In terms of material, PBT sublimation keycaps are used. Needless to say, this material is durable and wear-resistant, and the design of the corners is also rounded. The PBT keycaps provide an excellent touch feel and reduce oiling. The odds are high, and the street attitude skin as a whole can also bring people a pleasing vision, and I can't help touching it every day sitting in front of the computer.

Looks also need material, after all, as a mechanical keyboard with "attitude", Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard is also full of materials, so its usability is very high.

Well, don’t worry, none of the performance should be lost. As the name suggests, three modes, support Bluetooth 5, 2.4G wireless, Type-c wired mode, support multiple digital devices, one-key switching, ergonomic design, 9° tilt , In line with the wrist movement curve, it is not easy to get tired after using the keyboard for a long time.

Details of Lofree Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard.

Details of Lofree Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard.

In terms of power supply, the Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard uses 3 AA batteries, and the use time is about 3-4 weeks. If it is used at a moderate level, it is about 1 month. This result is acceptable. By the way, interesting, the random standard battery is also customized by Lofree.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard is still designed with hot-swappable switches, and you can replace the switches you like later.

write at the end

On the whole, when I first received this keyboard, I felt that the appearance was very cool. Apart from the impressive appearance, the actual experience is also very powerful. It belongs to the orientation of "suitable for both office and game". Although there is no cool RGB lighting effect, what it brings is a more comfortable experience and a visual feast. It is worth recommending and has no pitfalls.

Customization can be understood as customization, DIY, and do-it-yourself. Not a few gamers usually start with ordinary keyboards, and finally enter the pit of customized keyboards. Are ordinary keyboards really bad? It's cheap! That is, the keyboard with the Cherry axis is only a few hundred yuan. Before getting into customization, it is understandable to think so, after all, the price of customization is a bit expensive. But after you really use the customization, you will find that the customization is "really fragrant"! Recently, I bought Miwu’s customized mechanical keyboard BlackIO 98. It adopts a transparent black crystal design and an open-source customized full-blood configuration. The key point is that its price is only a few hundred yuan, which is similar to that of an ordinary keyboard. Let’s take a look. .

Let’s take a look at the appearance size and color first: the keyboard is not very big, the 98-key layout is compact, and it looks exquisite. This body is definitely more convenient to carry than the 104-key one, and it doesn’t take up much space on the table. They come in three colorways and the one I got is black and gold. There is a very mysterious feeling. After unpacking, you can see the family portrait of the product: keyboard body*1, 2.4G receiver*1 (keyboard body storage), C-port charging data cable*1 (1.2m), shaft puller*1, key pull Device*1, User Manual*1, Quick Start Guide*1, Spare Keycap*6 (included) and so on.

The overall appearance of the keyboard is particularly textured, mainly due to its transparent design. The specially toned black transparent material is like a black kiln stone polished into a transparent crystal, which is extremely crystal clear. The black transparent keycap instantly adds to the appearance of the keyboard, and the texture of the keyboard is completely different from other materials, especially under the light, the effect is more obvious, and the temperament is similar to blingbling. Many ordinary keyboards will not last long, and the characters on the keycaps may be worn off, but this keyboard, the keycaps are made of new materials and advanced technology, it is not easy to fade after long-term use, and the characters on it can be clearly seen, which will definitely not affect the use !

The main symbols and characters on the keycaps are mainly white, and the black and white are distinct and look clearer. The arrow keys are significantly different from other transparent keycaps. The artistically processed electroplated keycaps are very beautiful, and the texture is instantly reflected.

Behind the keyboard are detailed control buttons, including power button, wired/2.4G Bluetooth switch, WIN/MAC mode switch, Type-C interface for wired connection, and storage compartment for 2.4G wireless Bluetooth receiver. Usually this part is covered by a shell whose material is the same as that of the arrow keys.

There is a non-slip foot pad at the four corners of the bottom of the keyboard and the middle of the front. The anti-slip effect is still good; there are two 2-stage foot supports at the back, which can adjust different keyboard angles according to your needs; the middle is a regular arrangement of horizontal stripes.

Kaihua’s jellyfish switch is used for the switch body. The transparent switch body is matched with a transparent keycap. If the light is on, it means that the switch body can emit light. We can imagine the lighting effect; the structure of this BlackIO 98 keyboard is the full Gasket Silicone closed design, the positioning plate is fixed by the pressure of the upper and lower shells. It feels warm and comfortable, and the sound of keyboard operation is very small.

In addition to the keycaps can be removed and replaced by yourself, this keyboard also supports hot swapping. The connecting shaft can be replaced according to needs, choose the sound, color, feel, etc. you like, and create your own mechanical keyboard!

About lighting effects. With fully transparent MX jellyfish switches, the keyboard is full of lights, and the cool light effects are fully revealed. 48-bit RGB backlight, light mixing is more delicate, and users can choose all lighting effects in the dynamic library. The light transmittance of the bending part of the keycap is different due to different thicknesses, which makes the entire shape of the keycap outlined by the light. BlackIO 98 supports full-color RGB backlight, comes with 43 kinds of lighting effects by default, and can also drive DIY lighting effects through VIA.

About the original design of BlackIO 98. Support QMK open source firmware and VIA open source software, which can realize highly customized content, such as adding Bluetooth to the keyboard, adding screens, knobs, modifying the keyboard keys, and programming by yourself. In short, you can make your own keyboard without having to brush the array. This is the biggest benefit of customization.

Summarize:

After trying this Miwu customized mechanical keyboard BlackIO 98, I feel good about it. The first feeling is that it feels good in the hand and is very comfortable to use. The 98-key position realizes all the functions of the traditional 104-bit keyboard. But I like its lighting the most, the RGB full-color lighting effect is very interesting and beautiful. Miwu BlackIO 98 is a full-blooded version in terms of appearance design and functional configuration, Gasket structure; three-mode wireless and WIN/MAC switching, etc.; plus a price of several hundred yuan, this Miwu customized mechanical keyboard BlackIO 98 keyboard is worth choosing.

Xiaomi Youpin is currently crowdfunding this technological keyboard. If you like a customized keyboard but don’t want to spend a lot of money, you can go to Xiaomi Youpin to have a look as soon as possible. #米物Keyboard #BLACKIO

Transparent keyboard is very popular? How to choose a customized keyboard?

Presumably you will also have this kind of problem-the mechanical keyboards on the market are fancy, and although they are updated very quickly, every time a new product is launched, there is no overly ambitious goal, either the brand premium is too high, or some There are obvious shortcomings in the configuration. It is difficult to have a product with full configuration in all aspects. Is it really hard to find a high-quality mechanical keyboard with reasonable price, full configuration, and comprehensive appearance and functions?

Today, Xiaomi Youpin started to crowdfund the customized transparent mechanical keyboard of Miwu BlackIO, which is really amazing.

The BlackIO in my hand is black and gold, breaking the tradition and doing it wantonly. The overall design is in a dark style, and the black transparent material is like polishing obsidian into a transparent crystal, which is extremely crystal clear.

On the top of the BlackIO customized mechanical keyboard of Miwu, there are: keyboard switch, wired three-mode switching key, Win/Mac switching key, C-port charging port, and a hidden storage port for the 2.4G receiver, which can effectively prevent loss. Its built-in 4000mAh lithium battery can last up to 200 hours.

BlackIO has a 98-key layout, including various function keys and small number keys. Although it is a 98-key layout, it has a well-designed design, and the overall width of the keyboard is well controlled, so it won't feel too crowded when placed on the desktop.

Next I want to focus on my favorite part - the jellyfish axis! BlackIO adopts the Kaihua MX jellyfish switch. Presumably, gaming players are very aware that the Kaihua MX jellyfish switch is really silky and smooth. Although the touch is slightly heavier, the damping is well controlled, making the code feel soft. The spring is soft and smooth, and the rebound is also very smooth. It can be said that it is the most comfortable linear axis I have ever used.

Miwu's customized mechanical keyboard BlackIO adopts Gasket structure + full silicone sealing design, so the feel will be very uniform. At the same time, due to the existence of Gasket, there will be buffers in both vertical directions of the keyboard. This is exactly what "Gasket" is in There's a reason why custom keyboards are so revered.

Its all-silicone closed design plays a good role in isolating the sound. It is fixed through the soft connection of the sound-absorbing silicone pad, which can not only take care of the hand feeling, but also effectively reduce the noise of the cavity. Thanks to these advantages, even in the middle of the night, there is no need to worry about disturbing roommates or family members.

Here comes the big news, how outstanding is the BlackIO customized keyboard in terms of customization? The main control of BlackIO uses QMK open source firmware, everyone knows this QMK, it is very powerful. It can be effectively compatible with different configuration software, coupled with the VIA driver software, users can use the software to fully customize the keys, including RGB backlight effects, to create their own exclusive keyboard.

The BlackIO keyboard supports RGB full-color lighting effects and 43 lighting effect modes. With the high-quality crystal keycaps, it is dazzling and eye-catching when opened, and the atmosphere on the table is perfect. A variety of buttons can be set to a variety of modes, which is simply not too cool.

You can also see the 2-stage foot support at the bottom of the keyboard, and you can adjust your own suitable inclination angle according to your own habits. Most of the middle of the bottom are regular horizontal lines, with obvious anti-skid features. Even if you are playing the game fiercely, the keyboard can still guarantee sufficient support.

And BlackIO supports full-key hot-swapping, compatible with standard 3PIN or 5PIN shafts of various brands, and the later playability is extremely high.

Overall, I still like this BlackIO very much. In terms of appearance, there are three colors to choose from. I think it is better than other keyboards currently on the market. The hard-core gameplay is the icing on the cake. The response speed of connection and use is also fast enough. The current crowdfunding price is also more appropriate. Brothers who like it can go and have a look.

As a mechanical keyboard player halfway into the pit, I have used a lot of keyboards recently. With the diversified individual needs of users, colorful PBT keycaps and three-mode connections seem to be standard configurations. It can be said that mechanical keyboards are also It's getting more and more introverted. For some users, the end of the mechanical keyboard is customization, but for most access pit users who just want to try customization, choosing a customized keyboard produced by a mature brand is the best solution. Recently, many bigwigs on the site have shared the DURGOD K330w PLUS mechanical keyboard - a 61-key hot-swappable customized mechanical keyboard. Compared with the K330W, it has been upgraded with hot-swappable shafts, sound-proof cotton and sandwich silicone Pads further enhance the feel of use. lz decisively also started a piece.

The packaging of K330W Plus is wrapped with corrugated paper. There are 3 layers inside and outside. The safety during transportation is maximal. There is a big K330w Plus printed on the punk style outer packaging. The HOT SWAPABLE logo indicates that this is a product that supports hot plugging unplugged keyboard

K330w Plus is available in three colors: ion storm, mint, and ice cream. It also provides four shafts: tea shaft, silver shaft, red shaft, and silent red shaft. I bought the silent red shaft with ice cream color. You can see the keyboard protected by the dust cover, and the random accessories include key puller, shaft puller, cable management belt and receiver extender

It is still difficult to choose a color scheme. The ion storm with white and black as the main colors is actually the first choice. I prefer this cool color with a sense of technology, but in the end I chose a more lively ice cream color scheme. Personally, I feel that it is difficult to choose. It is indeed difficult for users to choose, but fortunately, the color of ice cream is good whether it is for personal use or as a gift

As for the switch body, I chose the silent red switch, mainly to avoid excessive noise when using it and affect the people around me. As for the use experience of the switch body, I will describe it in detail later.

From the appearance point of view, the main input area is in white color, the function keys are in gray color, and the ESC, space, and enter keys are in light blue. The overall decoration is just right. The keyboard adopts a 61-key compact layout with a size of 300*112*36 mm, the official weight is about 596g, the lightweight keyboard is undoubtedly

On the left side of the top of the keyboard is a sliding power button, and on the other symmetrical side is a type-C charging port, which is also a USB connection port. The edge of the keyboard is chamfered, and the details are good. From this angle, the keyboard is from There are 3 sections from top to bottom, which can create a comfortable button space for users

There are 4 protective pads distributed on the back of the keyboard, and the left and right anti-slip pads on the top are designed with a one-stage horizontal toggle foot support. The left side of the right foot support is the storage compartment of the 2.4G wireless receiver. Push out the cover and take it out The receiver can be used by plugging it into the computer, and it is convenient to store when not in use

There are 4 indicators on the upper left corner of the keyboard, which are capitalization indicator, configuration file indicator, WIN key function lock indicator and battery indicator. When the keyboard is in wireless connection, the indicators from left to right represent Bluetooth devices 1 Connection status, Bluetooth device 2 connection status and 2.4G wireless connection status

K330W PLUS uses fully closed two-color PBT keycaps. PBT has good wear resistance. Even if you type for a long time, it will not be oily. You can see that the texture of the keycaps is relatively delicate. The color of the keycaps of the ice cream It is really small and fresh when you look closely, and it is very good both visually and in hand when you use it.

For the shaft part, I chose the silent red switch. This silent red switch adopts the customized crystal switch series jointly launched by Dujia and Jiadalong. The trigger stroke is 2.0±0.5mm, the trigger pressure is 45±10gf, and the full stroke is 4.0mm max. The sound is very low during use, which is more suitable for office use. The overall consistency is good in terms of feel, but the big keys are a bit fleshy

One of the highlights of Duga K330W PLUS is hot-swapping. The advantage of hot-swapping is that the replacement of the shaft body is more convenient. When replacing the shaft body with a hot-swappable keyboard, you only need to use a shaft puller to take out the shaft body. It can be seen that Dujia K330W Plus uses the shaft seat hot-swappable” scheme, and holes are reserved on the circuit board. When inserting, you only need to align the two pins at the bottom of the shaft body. When you first use it, you find that It takes a little effort to remove the shaft, but it is basically easy to find the right angle and pull it out. In case we get tired of this silent red switch, we just need to replace it with other shafts, whichever shaft we want to use Which axis, hot swap makes customization very easy

The positioning version of the keyboard is made of aluminum alloy. According to the official statement, there is a layer of soundproof cotton under the PCB of the keyboard, and there is a layer of silicone pad between the positioning plate and the PCB. Their existence makes the keyboard have a good mute effect.

Duga K330W PLUS is a three-mode mechanical keyboard that provides three modes of 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and wired, which can meet the needs of multiple devices in daily office games. It supports switching between three devices at the same time during use. Q/W key can quickly switch Bluetooth devices, computers, tablets and mobile phones can be used without interfering with each other

In 2.4G mode and wired mode, use the Durgod Zeus Engine driver software to customize the buttons. It should be noted that the Bluetooth mode does not support the driver. Since the keyboard is designed with 61 keys, many function keys need to be used in conjunction with Fn, which is still somewhat inconvenient to use. At this time, you can use the custom keys of the driver to define according to your own needs, and use those keys that are not commonly used

Durga K330W PLUS mechanical keyboard has upgraded the hot-swappable function on the basis of K330W. The standard shaft body can be replaced at will, and it can be customized properly; 2.4G, Bluetooth and wired three-mode support, mobile phones, tablets and computers can be used at the same time , switch at will, and both win and Apple support, the applicability is full; the customized switch body feels good, the sound of the selected silent red switch is indeed much lower in use, and I personally feel that it is suitable for use in the office and not noisy.

Generally speaking, for me personally, Dujia K330W PLUS adopts a 61-key design, although it is a niche, but it is a high-quality product in terms of appearance and feel. The only possible disadvantage is that the 61-key design is not as convenient as the 87 and 104 keys in typing. . For friends who need looks, feel and office scenes, the silent red switch of Durga K330W PLUS is worth trying!

Above, I am pp Liang, see you next time~

Mechanical keyboards are no longer a niche product. As the concept of customized keyboards continues to be popularized and tends to be mass-produced, the appearance innovations and switch body designs of major brands are also coming out frequently. Players can DIY and replace modules at will, which is fun and interesting, and they can also oil the keyboard to "moisten the switch". Improve sound performance and feel experience. Recently, Rapoo launched its own new product V700DIY, which is a 104-key full-size mechanical keyboard. At the same time, the shaft body supports hot-swapping. As the first 104-key full-size customized keyboard of the Rapoo brand, the price is controlled at 300 yuan. It can be said to be a cost-effective masterpiece that is popularized by customization. Rapoo V700DIY is equipped with Rapoo’s self-developed KA-12 linear fast silver switch, which comes with factory moisturizer, and the peripherals are more convenient for lazy people. Paired with Rapoo V700DIY and KA-12 linear elastic white axis, a box of 12 pieces, let everyone do a real test and experience sharing!

【Unpacking】New Wine in Old Bottles

As an old fan of Rapoo for many years, I am very used to the uniform blue and black color of Rapoo’s packaging box. However, I think that from the mechanical keyboard with only a few fixed switches to today’s customization, and then to the first customized DIY keyboard of Rapoo, it can be described as a very big leap for peripheral players. , Brand attributes are important, but the packaging box should also have more DIY elements and different visual perception. Compared with the colorful and customized products inside, today's outer packaging is too simple.

It is also convenient to match the keyboard body. This time, I will also do an unboxing and experience of the KA-12 linear white switch.

The Rapoo V700DIY packaging box includes the keyboard body, an integrated key/shaft puller, a 1.5m anti-tangle gold-plated cable and an instruction manual.

Take out the keyboard to see intuitively, very simple and stylish, elegant and neat, and the main color of silver and white is also a color scheme that is very suitable for office work or games today.

The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is a silver CNC integrally formed aluminum alloy panel with white keycaps. The overall floating design is also the mainstream and mature design of mechanical keyboards nowadays.

The aluminum alloy panel is treated with a frosted process, which feels comfortable and does not leave fingerprints easily. There is also a display of Rapoo LOGO in the upper right area of ​​the keyboard. The logo design is very delicate. After careful observation, it is found that the surface of the LOGO has a metal texture, which is very good under the reflection of light.

The keyboard is surrounded by a narrow frame design, and has been carefully polished, so that the corners and corners will not cut your hands.

Rapoo V700DIY is designed with 104 full keys, and the standard-size keyboard will provide a better experience for gaming and office use.

It is different from the general mechanical keyboard with square design. On the upper right side of the Rapoo V700DIY, there is an area similar to a fish fin, which is designed with four angular buttons and a multimedia scroll wheel, a total of 5 multi-function buttons. Rectangular shortcut keys can be quickly implemented including mode switching (game/office), lighting switching, wheel mode switching and mute. The metal scroll wheel on the far right of the keyboard can quickly adjust the brightness of the light and the volume. In terms of hand feeling, the rectangular buttons are push-type, with a short key travel and very sensitive touch; the scroll wheel feels light when rotating, and the scale feels quite satisfactory.

The Pennefather V700DIY keyboard uses PBT two-color injection molding keycaps. I remember when the first mechanical keyboards became popular, everyone discussed the difference between ABS and PBT keycaps. Of course, there are still PC material nowadays. The PBT keycaps will feel rougher, that is, the graininess is stronger, but the advantage is that even if the keyboard is used for a long time, the keycaps are not easy to slip, showing the "glossy" feeling of the ABS material keycaps. In fact, you can also see with your hands that the keycap craftsmanship of the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is still very sophisticated and detailed, and no burrs have been found.

The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is designed with separate keys and wires, which is more convenient for storage. The top of the keyboard is designed with a Type-C interface to support blind insertion. Through cable connection, the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard can easily realize 104-key non-rush operation, which is really very practical for gamers who need multiple buttons and multiple operations. In addition, there is a mold reserved opening on the left side of the Type-C port. Blindly guess whether it will be a new interface that can be installed with external devices in the future?

There are safety signs and product name information in the middle of the bottom of the keyboard. There are 5 non-slip foot pads designed at the bottom. For general office desktops, coupled with the weight of the keyboard itself, the anti-slip is very reliable. The bottom of the Rapoo V700DIY is designed with 2 hidden feet, which can be tilted at a small angle after being supported, which is more convenient for typing. Take a closer look at the bottom of the foot support is still designed with anti-slip stickers, so there will still be good anti-slip force between the keyboard and the desktop after opening the foot support.

Because the keyboard is designed with Fn function keys, the Pennefather V700DIY keyboard can realize shortcut function switching under the Win system. By combining the Fn button, 12 kinds of multimedia functions can be quickly operated. For example, Fn+F5 can quickly open My Computer, and the Fn+Win button can realize the lock Win function, which is very considerate to avoid accidental touches in the game.

[Experience] Customization is a lot of fun

Everyone must be familiar with replacing keycaps independently. The main thing I want to talk about here is the DIY experience of the shaft body. At present, mechanical keyboards that can be hot-swappable for shaft replacement commonly include three-legged shafts and five-legged shafts. The replacement of the shaft body is consistent with our previous operation of changing the keycap. The integrated key/shaft puller can be used to easily disassemble and replace the keycap. or shaft. If you have other pentapod switches on hand, you can freely arrange the switch body of the entire keyboard, and different areas can achieve different feel, which must be very interesting.

The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard originally uses the hot-swappable linear fast silver switch developed by Rapoo itself. The characteristic is that the key stroke is slightly shorter, the rebound is faster, the service life of the single axis is 50 million times, the specific parameters are the total stroke 4mm, the trigger stroke 1.3±0.5mm, the trigger pressure 45±10gf, and the linear axis has no sense of paragraph.

In fact, the feel of the hand is indeed straight up and down. Because I used to use the red switch before, I can obviously notice the shortening of the keystroke when using the fast silver switch. The overall feeling of tapping is relatively stable, which may also be related to the factory lubrication of the shaft body, and the tapping feeling is also very silky. In terms of noise, the Kuaiyin switch is still very quiet. The fast rebound feature is suitable for games, and the quietness is also suitable for use in the office.

When it comes to replaceable shafts, there are many five-pin hot-swappable shafts on the Internet that can be replaced, but when it comes to the original Rapoo factory, there are also Rapoo KA-12 linear elastic white shafts that can be replaced. The linear elastic white shaft is also a hot-swappable shaft self-developed by Rapoo, and it also has a service life of 50 million times, which is very durable. Visually, the intuitive difference is that the base and center of the Kuaiyin switch are in gray tone, while the spring white switch is in white tone.

Of course, the different colors also represent the different materials they use. The base of the fast silver shaft is made of high-density nylon, and the shaft is made of PVC. However, the base of the elastic white shaft is made of PA material, and the matching shaft is made of self-lubricating POM material. Compared with PVC material, it will feel smoother. Therefore, the linear elastic white shaft rebounds quickly and the pressing feel will be lighter and more dexterous. The total travel of the spring white axis on the parameter is 3.4±0.4mm, 1.2±0.4mm, 35±10gf, and the spring white axis, which is also a linear axis, has no sense of paragraph. In fact, in terms of the hand feel, the white switch will hit the bottom faster and more directly, and the feel will be softer and lighter. I feel that this switch is more suitable for girls.

At the bottom of the keyboard, you can see the shaft seat made of metal, which is durable enough for players who like to plug and change the shaft at ordinary times.

When changing the shaft, I also found that the big key of the Rapoo V700DIY uses the satellite shaft scheme, why do I say the big key scheme. All brands of single small keys are easier to handle, but the big key is actually the key to the overall feel of the keyboard. The loose and draggy feel of the big keys will make the mechanical keyboard very cheap. The feel of the large keys of the Rapoo V700DIY is still very good, and it is very stable, which is indeed the taste of a big factory.

Both switches are suitable for transparent top covers, so the keyboard has a good lighting effect when in use. The Pennefather V700DIY keyboard supports 1680W color RGB backlight scheme, you can directly use the preset color scheme by opening the keyboard driver, and you can also use the button combination on the upper right corner of the keyboard to quickly switch the lighting effect, which is very fast.

【Driver】

You can go directly to the Rapoo official website to download the driver. If you have used the Rapoo driver, you must be very familiar with the interface. Functions can be customized for individual keys, and macro editing and driver upgrades can also be recorded. I think the most I do when I turn on the driver is to play with the lighting effect adjustment.

Select the lighting setting, you can choose the preset lighting mode. If you feel monotonous, you can also choose the lighting effect by yourself, match the lighting brightness and lighting speed at the same time, set your favorite configuration, and then save it.

When it comes to macro editing, some mechanical operations can be recorded.
