I suddenly fell in love with the retro style of the old keyboard, especially the battleship like Cherry 9009, I really like it. But most of the old keyboards are arranged in the classic 104 or 108, compared to the cherry G80-3000. Although this series is also a classic, and the retro taste of the big forehead is quite enough, the arrangement of 104 is still too common.

Inadvertently, when surfing the Internet, I found a G80-11800 manufactured by Cherry for Compaq. This unique key arrangement immediately attracted me. The thick border is combined with the unique double-row F area and the top pad area, and the lower right corner is used as an exquisite mouse operation area, which makes the keyboard a bit more interesting.

However, I heard that the trackball is easy to break, and there is no WIN key, so it feels inconvenient to use. The main reason is that the 11800 did not find a trimmer keyboard. The price on the second-hand market is around 180 yuan, so I gave up. Look at the picture Forget it.

But in the era of big data, there are such benefits. As long as you have searched for this type of product, it will naturally be pushed to you inadvertently. No, after a few days, an article about the model Cherry G80-11900 came out.

G80-11900

It is the next-generation product of G80-11800, and its positioning is at the flagship level. The key layout is exactly the same as that of 11800. It is a variant of G80-1800. The lower right corner is the same touchpad as a notebook. The accuracy is not high, but I am thinking about it. In this position, a screen can be added in the future, and a small thing of the intelligent system can be placed in it, which can be regarded as a part of the customized key, haha.

Although you can't get a big ship like the Cherry 9009, the 11900 can be regarded as a small battleship, and it is also a classic. Seeing that there are more than 60 yuan of second-hand cord-cutting keyboards priced at 11900, it is quite cheap, so I bought one and came back to repair it myself. The problem with the cord-cutting keyboard is that Taiyike has returned, and it is also necessary to fight for RP. In case the main control is broken, it can only be used as a switch board to remove the switch.

The photo after I got it is really Iraqi

The keycap is not complete

Now it is popular to change the keyboard to TYPEC key line separation. It is a very useful modification. I bought the wire connector directly from a certain treasure, and found that the keyboard connector of Cherry is 1.5P when I came back. I bought the 1.25P on the Internet and found it was too small. Here also waited a few days for express delivery. After turning on the power, I found that the computer does not recognize the keyboard, and the car overturned? In the end, I realized that the touchpad must also be connected to the computer to recognize it. However, a large number of keys are out of order, and it took N wires to solve the problem.

Flying line Flying line

The TYPEC connector is also flying.

After all the buttons are normal, spray paint on the shell, and the painting process will not be displayed. The keycaps were temporarily used and put together from a garbage bag without engraving. It is a Picasso style. The main thing I want to say is the hand spray paint I bought. I originally wanted the white color of the old computer and the white shell of the old cherry keyboard. I thought it was milky white. But after spraying it, I realized that I was wrong. The milky white is slightly yellowish. After spraying it, it turns yellow and yellow like the white key is old and oxidized. Even the spray paint will help me become nostalgic, which is equivalent to directly making the keyboard old.

Unengraved keycaps

old looking keyboard

The original 11900 shaft is a cherry five-legged black shaft, which is too heavy to handle, and needs to be replaced with some lighter springs to make it thicker. I have to say, after the black shaft of Cherry is replaced with a thicker spring, it feels really good in the hand. With the unique steel-free structure of Cherry, it really feels like knocking on a wooden fish. In addition, the unique rustling sound of the cherry black shaft becomes particularly magical after being moistened. However, due to time constraints, I dealt with the letter area and a few large keys. I changed the space bar and ESC key to the red switch, and the other springs will be replaced when I have time.

Change to 45G spring thick

Big key to adjust thickness

Of course, the non-engraved keycap garbage bag is just a transitional use. I matched it with a set of plastic themed keycaps. There are a few unique keys with Chinese notes. It seems that it was born for the 11900 arrangement. It is really a perfect match. But when it is a headache, the space bar of 11900 is 6U, and the chrysanthemum is not in the center. , surprisingly fit well.

The green space is surprisingly good

It feels like a comment button born for 11900

With the keycaps attached, the entire keyboard cost about 100, which is the most satisfying one I have made recently. The spring-changed cherry light black switch feels great when typing, and this article is completed with this keyboard. Whether you like the special arrangement of 11800 and 11900 depends on everyone's taste, and the arrangement of function keys may take a while to get used to. Most of the key arrangements are too conventional at present, and sometimes it is too plain to put on the desktop. Come to such a special keyboard, it has a special flavor. A keyboard isn't meant to be used for typing sometimes, it's also a desk decoration once in a while, right?

Creating a personalized desktop has always been a hobby of gamers. In the field of personalized customization, the keyboard has the largest space to play, because every key position on the keyboard can be customized individually. If you want to meet the needs, you can launch a different one, but also keep a unified style. Choose a whole set of keys. Caps are the most effective for decoration. As a well-known peripheral brand

The customized version of the Lofree mechanical keyboard consists of the keyboard and the keycap, both of which are packaged in a simple but packaged style. The original color paper package is set into a colored cover. The image logo and model of the product are printed on the front. The brand logo is marked on it. The product parameters and manufacturer information are marked on the back.

The Lofree mechanical keyboard uses a double-layer pull-out design, and the outer box cover plays the role of fixing the inner box. The inside of the keyboard box cover is relatively simple, and it is a product fixed by a primary-color paper liner. The manufacturer equips the product with a data cable, battery and instruction manual with pictures and texts, which is very easy to use. The inner layer of the keycap is fixed with transparent pc, so that the product can be seen intuitively. A key puller is also included with the keycaps.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao mechanical keyboard customized version has a variety of themes to choose from. This time I started with a set of "Cats Taming Human Daily" theme. The keyboard uses a tofu-colored base and a cute cat's keycap, which is cute enough Turn a girl's heart. The first feeling of the keyboard is that it is very small but full of weight. It is extremely stable after being laid flat. It does not feel light and light like a membrane keyboard at all. The bottom bracket of light-colored ABS material is wrapped in all directions, and the surface is frosted, which is very textured. The height of the keyboard is increased and a forward-leaning design is adopted, so that the wrist can fit the keyboard better and avoid prolonged use. fatigue.

The Lofree mechanical keyboard uses 100-key R1~R4 full-color standard keycaps. Although it is much smaller than the standard 108-key keyboard, the keycaps do not need to be individually adapted. The personalized cat-themed PBT The surface of the keycap has been frosted to make it feel smooth and comfortable. The corresponding logos in different areas of the keycap are divided into different colors, and the font is also selected in the Q version of artistic characters, and different cats are painted on each function key. The shape can be independent or combined, with a unified theme and different styles. The keyboard also has a multimedia function, and the shortcut function of the computer is controlled by the FN combination key.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao mechanical keyboard adopts Jiadalong's G red switch as the core, which has the characteristics of short key stroke, fast response, small pressing force and long service life. It is a key switch with very balanced performance in all aspects. And the keyboard supports hot-swapping, which can be changed side-by-side. The standard-sized key shaft is also very easy to replace.

The bottom of the Lofree mechanical keyboard is different. A circular horizontal bar is placed near the edge, so that the keyboard has a 11.5° tilt, which is more ergonomic and reduces hand fatigue. There are non-slip rubber pads at the four corners to keep the keyboard stable.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao mechanical keyboard is powered by three AAA batteries, and the charging compartment is located above the scale. And built-in storage for the wireless receiver.

The Lofree mechanical keyboard adopts wired, 2.4g, and Bluetooth three-mode connection modes, and adopts a special circular lever design, which can be adjusted in one step.

The keyboard uses a more versatile TYPE-C interface, the wire is close to 1.5 meters and uses a gold-plated 90° direct interface.

Before using the Lofree mechanical keyboard, you need to manually install the keycaps, which is also the fun of personalization. The keycaps have been sorted when they leave the factory. Ian, just install the keycaps on the base in order.

Due to the addition of a custom-made silicone pad, the force is relatively soft when tapping, reducing the impact of hard contact. The downward slope of the keyboard can provide good support for the wrist, so that it will not feel tired after long-term use. Can improve speed and accuracy when coding words. When the fingers tap the keyboard, they can tap and rebound quickly with the smallest force, reducing the fatigue of long-term use. Coupled with the non-segment stroke of the red axis, every key press is a hearty enjoyment.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao Machinery adopts wireless connection to make the desktop more tidy, which is very suitable for office environment.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao mechanical keyboard has a three-mode connection. In addition to wired and 2.4g wireless, it can also connect to three sets of Bluetooth devices, which can be switched by combination keys. And support Microsoft, Apple, Android and other mainstream platforms. It is applicable whether it is a mobile phone or a computer.

The Lofree mechanical keyboard is about a quarter smaller than the 108-key full-size keyboard. The monitor stand that could not be placed in the original can now be inserted, increasing the space on the desktop and retaining the numeric keypad.

【Trial summary】

Foreword:

Since learning computer in 1995, I have been used to the 104-key full keyboard. In fact, I am neither financial, nor have I played King of Fighters on the same keyboard with my friends for a long time, but it is just a habit. In recent years, there have been more and more things, so many that a computer can't finish them. Strictly speaking, I work with 1.5 computers more often, with a desktop computer at work and at home, and a game notebook on both sides. In addition, I often throw the camera and other digital products on the table, and the space is even more insufficient.

Speaking of which, 87-key compact mechanical keyboards have long been available, but in the past, the number keys were reduced. If you want to replace a new keyboard, of course you want to do it in one step.

Unpacking articles:

I believe that many friends, like me, play games after work, which belongs to the type of light gamers. Therefore, the selected peripheral products will take both into consideration.

In fact, my desk is not big. Next to the 32-inch monitor, there is not only a host computer but also another gaming laptop. The desk is not a serious computer desk, but a solid wood desk. As for the large white piece on the desk, you thought it was a desktop, but it was actually just a super-large mouse pad. And under the keyboard, you thought it was spray-painted, but it was actually another mouse pad.

As an old user of Dimo ​​peripheral products, the Dimo ​​mechanical keyboards I have come into contact with before are all full keyboards, especially the F4 ghost, which is a very special semi-modular mechanical keyboard. There is an illusion that all Dimo ​​keyboards have 104 keys. Unexpectedly, Dimo's new product this time is an 87-key three-mode mechanical keyboard.

From the outer packaging, we can know that the three-mode includes 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and wired, which is also the standard configuration of the three-mode.

This is a typical compact 87-key keyboard with color-blocked keycaps and a business-like style.

The biggest pleasure of a compact mechanical keyboard is to save desktop space. Of course, in addition to the compact design and reduced buttons, wireless also frees the keyboard from the shackles of cables, and the desktop is naturally more fresh and concise.

The four borders are extremely compact, there is nothing but the keycaps, and it looks more refined.

Our five fingers are all different lengths, so a flat keyboard is clearly not ergonomic. The Dimo ​​F87 Star Destroyer adopts a design with six rows of keycaps and four levels of height, which presents an arc as a whole, so as to fit the physiological signs of the human body.

The design of the floating keycap is still used, the panel seems to be non-metallic, and the dark gray panel looks low-key.

After adding yellow accents to the gray tone, the entire keyboard seems to come alive. It is worth mentioning that the keycaps used by the Star Destroyer are PBT, which are also two-color injection molding, but the keycaps have low light transmission.

The Star Destroyer also has 16.8 million RGB colors, and it can also be DIYed through software. However, due to the wireless keyboard, the backlight intensity is much lower than that of other mechanical keyboards of Dimo, and even the backlight of the characters is relatively darker. Basically, the backlight of the characters cannot be seen in the environment with the lights on, or the backlight is low.

As for the shaft body, the default is the shaft body customized by Dimo. From the feel, it should also be an optical shaft, that is, a similar type of optical shaft.

The Star Destroyer is designed with interchangeable shafts, compatible with all MX shafts, and basically all mainstream shafts on the market can be replaced with Golang. It is quite good for friends who have extreme requirements for hand feeling, or who like DIY.

Let's take a look at the details on the back, the non-slip foot pads on the back.

Two-stage height adjustment can meet the input habits of different users.

There is also a magnetic detachable hand rest design, which can make the wrists of friends who need to record for a long time more comfortable.

The specific size is 358X134X38mm, no matter how tight the desktop space is, it can accommodate it. Small and exquisite, it can also support three-mode and hot-swappable. For those who have many computers and many desktop decorations, the DIMO F87 Star Destroyer is a very interesting peripheral.

The keyboard is already a necessary peripheral accessory for the computer. In terms of types, there are four types: mechanical keyboards, plastic film keyboards, rubber keyboards, and electrostatic capacitive keyboards. Among them, mechanical keyboards are often the most popular category for gamers. There are many brands of mechanical keyboards on the market, and the price ranges from 100 yuan to 1000 yuan. Moreover, for mechanical keyboards, there are not as many parameters as mobile phones and computers to characterize their performance. It is difficult for consumers to make a decision. Choice, so only users can perceive whether the price is satisfactory and whether it is easy to use. Recently, I bought a bloody ghost S510N mechanical keyboard, and I will share my experience with you.

The bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical keyboard is positioned as an entry-level mechanical keyboard, but the configuration is quite conscientious. You can feel its weight when you get it in your hand. There are different versions of this keyboard before. The low-profile S510 has no backlight, and the packaging is printed in color. The front has a visual sense specially designed for e-sports.

Regardless of the entry-level positioning, the Bloody Ghost S510N mechanical keyboard uses BLMS customized mechanical switches, and there are four optional switches: yellow switch, green switch, brown switch and red switch. The yellow switch is suitable for playing games, and the green switch is suitable for playing games. Crisp and strong sense of paragraph, suitable for office use. The percussion sound of the brown switch is small and the sense of paragraph is weak. It can be used for games and office work. The red switch is more silent when tapped, with almost no sense of paragraph. It is also suitable for typing and games. Choice of individual needs.

The interior of the keyboard is protected by a dust-proof bag and a plastic buckle film, and the factory-made measures are in place. The whole package includes the keyboard, three-pack service guide, keycap extraction tool and 9 DIY keycaps.

The bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical keyboard adopts a narrow frame design, the overall front visual effect is compact, each key has an independent micro switch, and there are buckle satellite balance shafts on the large keys, for example, when the space area is pressed In fact, you don’t need to deliberately click in the center, and you won’t feel that the left and right sides are tilted and loose. The buttons are more balanced and stable. Intelligent full-key no-stroke technology, the key response is within 1 millisecond, helping you seize the opportunity.

I have used many 87-key keyboards before, but the full-size keyboard is still more comfortable after experience. The numeric keypad can help me input financial statements and calculation data more conveniently.

Bloody Ghost's BLMS customized switches this time still brought us a lot of surprises. Compared with the imported cherry switches that everyone respects, I think the feel of this keyboard is not inferior to high-end switches. And don't think that many brands use imported switches to guarantee the quality of mechanical keyboards. The inlay process, installation accuracy, and whether the board is firm or not will also affect the use experience and lifespan of the switches. Shuangfeiyan has been cultivating keyboards for many years in China Manufacturers are relatively mature in detail workmanship.

The keycaps are made of one-time two-color injection molding, which are resistant to wear, corrosion and oxidation. The equipped keycap puller can be easily pulled out. Another fun of the mechanical keyboard is to replace the keycaps. With the included 9 DIY keycaps, You can make a keyboard have a variety of combined appearances, deeply expressing your individual demands.

The back of the keyboard adopts an integrated design. Four silicone anti-skid pads plus the weight of the keyboard itself can firmly fix the keyboard on the desktop. The environmentally friendly plastic material is pollution-free and more oil-resistant.

The retractable bracket design allows you to adjust the support angle of the keyboard according to your personal preference, but there is only one adjustment, and the angle feels okay in the actual experience. The keyboard is designed with a corresponding ladder arc, and the ergonomic design provides a good feel when you touch it.

The length of the wire can always meet the various wiring designs of the desktop, and can be used in different scenarios. The fixed method with the limit buckle is not easy to loosen. It is more convenient to adjust the length of the wire when connecting to a laptop or a computer.

Let’s talk about the actual experience of the keyboard. The bloody hand ghost S510N mechanical keyboard has the blessing of custom mechanical switches and iridescent keycaps. Compared with my original computer keyboard, it is much better, especially the iridescent light effect is very atmospheric. Colleagues see I feel good. There is also a tea switch that is crisp and quiet when tapped, retaining the sense of paragraph that a mechanical keyboard should have, without disturbing the people around it.

The keycap is designed with a depression, which increases the contact area of ​​the fingers and reduces the pressure on the fingertips, so that the fingers will not feel sore after long-term operation. The side gradient design makes the keyboard more inclined to the operator's side. It is easier to see the laser content on the key when typing, and it is also conducive to the balanced movement and pressing of the fingers. The lower edge of the keycap also has a beveled edge, which can reduce the chance of accidental touch with fingertips.

After using this keyboard to try games such as "Yuanshin", BLMS custom switches, 1ms response time, plus USB full-speed 1000+Hz transmission response time, 8 times faster than ordinary keyboards, can reduce screen feedback delays and stuttering, whether it is The pressing feedback on the feel and the iridescent special effects on the appearance are very good, which can help you increase your winning rate in fierce competitive games and improve your efficiency in fast typing.

Experience summary

Bloody Ghost S510N mechanical keyboard, as a mechanical keyboard based on BLMS custom switches and iridescent keycaps, has solid workmanship and excellent ergonomic design, four kinds of switches and supports DIY detachable keycaps, plus moderate The price positioning makes this keyboard look very balanced. If you want to buy a mechanical keyboard in the near future, you might as well take a look at this one.

In fact, there is a saying in the industry that Luo Fei's keyboard can rely on its face for a living, but its strength is also so strong. This time I was lucky enough to experience its products and found that this sentence is true. For example, this Lofree Cotton Candy Wireless Mechanical Keyboard not only has a high appearance and exquisite materials, but also feels very good in the hand. The color of cotton candy can be said to have captured the hearts of girls. Next, I will share my using experience and take you to understand the charm of Xiaoqiao Marshmallow Wireless Mechanical Keyboard in an all-round way. I hope you will like it too!

The beauty of the Lofree Marshmallow Wireless Mechanical Keyboard starts from the packaging, and you can see the beauty of this keyboard from the front. I have to say that the designers of Lofree have been at the forefront of fashion aesthetics. Every product launched is amazing, especially this little marshmallow. The top is the brand logo, the bottom is the model, and the back is some basic information of this keyboard, which will not be shown here.

Let’s take a look at the family portrait of this Lofree Marshmallow wireless mechanical keyboard: keyboard, Type-C data cable, metal bracket, AAA battery, manual warranty card, and a card. It is reported that different awards are built in, the highest is A 69-key keyboard, I just don’t know which fan has such good luck.

The Lofree Marshmallow Wireless Mechanical Keyboard adopts a simplified layout of 100 keys, and the overall length is 80mm shorter than the standard 108 keys. Nowadays, mobile phones like to be lightweight, and the field of peripherals has also become popular. The 80mm shortening can allow your mouse to have a larger range of motion. If you like to play games and throw guns, you don’t have to worry about the lack of space.

The Xiaoqiao family actually has many color schemes, but I still like this new color scheme of cotton candy. Its color scheme is like a rainbow melting in the sun, wrapping your fingers into cotton candy. Cotton candy not only has gorgeous colors, but also has a touch of sweetness. This kind of color matching is very suitable for girls' soft and cute, after all, beauty is what every girl likes.

As the name suggests, the raised shape of the Lofree Marshmallow Wireless Mechanical Keyboard is more ergonomic. Of course, it is recommended to use a palm rest. After all, the height of the mechanical keyboard is much higher than that of the general membrane keyboard. The keyboard adopts Lofree's original LSA height PBT ball cap, which feels warm and delicate, without oil, which is much better than ABS material.

There is a C port on the top, which is used to connect the data cable, and the battery compartment is also designed here. In fact, I think it would be better if it is designed with a built-in lithium battery. Of course, the cost will increase. In addition, the switch of the keyboard is also designed. it's here.

The keyboard is powered by AAA batteries, and the battery life is 3-4 weeks, that is, a month. If you want to use it for a long time, it is recommended to buy a few rechargeable batteries, which can reduce the cost of use. Of course, the specific use time depends on the It varies from person to person.

The design of the metal plate is also very creative, you can put some small figures or small objects you like.

Connection: three-mode design, whatever you want

Three-mode design, wired, wireless and Bluetooth mode. The 2.4G receiver is located inside the battery compartment. Adjust the Bluetooth connection to the 2.4G/BT gear, and then press and hold FN+Q/W/E to correspond to the three Bluetooth modes. Then find "Touch100@Lofree" and click to connect. In Bluetooth mode, three devices can be connected, whether it is Windows, MacOS/iOS or Android, it can be perfectly adapted.

Keycap shaft body: feels warm and moist, with excellent effect

Xiaoqiao Marshmallow wireless mechanical keyboard uses PBT sublimation keycaps, not only the pattern is clear and delicate, but also the color performance is very dazzling, of course, the more important thing is the feel, comfortable matte touch, much better than ABS keycaps , and there will be no trouble of oiling.

The G (Giadaron) Red Switch Pro still feels great in the hand. Personally, it feels similar to the traditional red switch. It feels very warm and moist, and the feel has been strengthened a lot. In addition, everyone knows that good things are not cheap for what you pay for, and this shaft belongs to the ranks of excellent shafts.

Support hot swap, if you like, you can buy your favorite shaft body and replace it. This is the biggest feature of the customized keyboard, you can replace the shaft body by yourself. Tripod shaft, but the base of the keyboard has five holes, so you don’t have to worry about restrictions when you replace the shaft yourself, but you should also pay attention to it when buying the shaft.

The next step is to talk about the structure of this keyboard. A brief summary is that it is fixed by the soft connection of the silicone sandwich pad, which takes into account the feel and softness of the pressing performance, and can effectively reduce the cavity noise. It can be seen from the diagram that the keyboard adopts flexible connection, the plane is fixed as a whole, the surrounding and middle support of the keyboard is sufficient, the overall structure is more stable, and the cavity sound and noise are effectively eliminated.

In fact, if it is replaced with a cotton candy-colored mouse pad, I think it will be perfect. I don’t know if Luofei has a matching one, haha! As far as the overall feeling is to me, the appearance is very good, and the hand feel is also very good. If it is a girl who really can’t refuse such an appearance, and the red axis will not have extra noise to affect others, so no matter Whether it is for home use or office use, this keyboard can do it all.

Arrange the matching marshmallow palm rest too! After all, only the same color scheme can have better visual enjoyment. After all, the appearance control is somewhat obsessive-compulsive, haha!

Summary: worth having
