The idea of ​​writing online articles was born several years ago. I really started writing the year before my university. I was cut off for more than a year because of work and study. I picked it up after finishing my thesis last year. There are a hundred thousand words, and the taste in it makes people feel a lot.


In the hundreds of thousands of writings before last year, I used the notebook’s own keyboard to write. The typing is soft and weak. I have heard the name of the mechanical keyboard for a long time, and I have heard of many benefits: typing is crisp, resilient, good-looking, etc. , Throughout the ages, there have been a lot of poor student stationery. After reviewing the article last year, I decided to add a mechanical keyboard. Whether the code word is easy to use or not, the actual experience is the most real.


After searching for a long time on aunt, I finally chose Jingzao K6. The brand of Jingzao is basically no merit, and it is the favorite of the working class. After choosing it, I decided to start it.


Unremarkable, it's okay to use


It’s the first time I use the legendary mechanical keyboard, but it doesn’t feel much different from the ordinary desktop keyboard in practical terms. The only difference is that it makes a loud crackling sound when coding. If the roommate uses this thing to code words or play games after falling asleep, he will probably be beaten to death.


The standard type c interface is very convenient and supports iOS/Android/Windows/Mac


4000mAh battery praise


The price is affordable and supports many scenarios, and the interface is also a standard interface, especially this 4000mAh battery. I code for about four hours a day, and it can be used for half a month, which is very powerful.


Well, the mechanical keyboard is finished, let me talk about the results I hatched with the mechanical keyboard --- my web text.


My web articles are owned by Da Song He


At the beginning, I posted it at the starting point. My web articles are currently in a relatively small field. Historical web articles are not superficial, but official history. Mainly, the overbearing president of the main heroine category, if it is related to history, it will attract more people, and it is more of a fictional time-traveling category. The official history is not easy to attract readers.



The smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. The number of hits and readings of articles on the starting point is really a mess. Think about it carefully, most of the users of the starting point are office workers, and they may not be interested in historical articles, especially official history articles. How about finding a professional forum to post in a subdivided field?


For a professional forum about history, it must belong to the Tianya Forum.


So, after a short time on the street at the starting point, it began to be serialized and updated on Tianya simultaneously. As expected, readers focused more on subdivided fields, and the articles have improved. They have been selected as the essence one after another, and they have been followed by many readers. Finally, some responses to hard writing .


Being pushed to the homepage by the administrator can be regarded as finding recognition


The history of cooking wine can be regarded as one of the most famous historical forums in China. "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" that was popular all over the Internet at that time came from the history of cooking wine, but the author later switched to Sina blog because of a fight with other authors , In fact, the main serialization of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" was completed in the Zhujiu Forum.


There can be more than 20,000 fans in a niche forum like Tianya Zhujiulunshi, borrowing a popular sentence from the Internet: So terrifying!


Although there is some reading volume and some readers, but as the articles continue to be written and serialized, another problem that bothers me very much appears, which is being banned.


Qingfeng is illiterate, so why flip through the books?


The articles are all official history, and all the content is well-documented in the "Twenty-Four Histories", and they will be banned. The most annoying thing is that they quote some military ideas from textbooks, and they will also be banned.


But fortunately, there are quite a few readers who have been chasing after the update, and they often leave messages and interact, which makes people feel that someone still recognizes themselves, and is also very touched by the love of readers.


There are many deep thinkers among the readers, not as good as the inheritance relationship between the Later Han Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty, and then extending the inheritance relationship between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, so that who is Zhengshuo in the Song and Jin Dynasties? Thought-provoking


The death of Li Yuanhao made many readers feel sorry, people should always be in awe


There are also people who often ask about Cai Jing's ending, and they are simply powerless to complain


Working during the day and writing online articles at night is actually quite tiring. Writing online articles in the past few years, I have almost sacrificed all the entertainment time at night. I have to write for three to four hours every night, looking up information and documents, especially some grand historical events, which are listed in the "Song History" Emperor's Chronicle The records are relatively rough, so you must check the biographies of relevant figures, and the chronicle history books of the same period, such as "Continued Zizhi Tongjian Changbian", "Three Dynasties Beimenghui", "Records of Years Since Jianyan", etc. The mainstream documents are okay, they all have simplified Chinese and horizontal versions, and some less popular documents do not have simplified Chinese and horizontal versions, but are all traditional and vertical versions, which is very painful to look up


It is very brain-intensive to look up


This work is expected to have a word count between 900,000 and 1 million. It will finish the history of the two Song Dynasties. Now more than half of it has been written. At the same time, it is serialized on the two platforms of Tianya Zhujiu Forum and Qidian. Qiqiu is updated slowly. The main reason is that no one watches it, so it's more for fun.



I have written online articles for so long, and I have read countless documents. I often feel that these great people in history are too powerful. It is too difficult to leave a name, but anyone who can leave a name in the history books is very powerful.


Daniel is as powerful as Daniel, and we ordinary people also have the lives of ordinary people, to understand, to understand, to feel, people, in this life, we must continue to seek.


Share with you all.

This article only represents personal opinions, and the products are provided by merchants.


Friendly discussions in the comment area are welcome. Although they are all superficial understandings, sharing them can be regarded as an experience. Thank you very much for your viewing and opinions.


Recently received a sample machine - "Xunfei AI Mechanical Keyboard T8" from HKUST Xunfei, hereinafter referred to as T8.


As the first keyboard and mouse of Xunfei, it is also the first mechanical keyboard with intelligent voice input on the market. Whether you know Xunfei’s keyboard and mouse products or not, you should have heard about Xunfei’s input method more or less.



Let's take a look at the basic configuration first:


Arrangement: 80% 87 keys


Shaft: Jiadalong GPRO yellow/red shaft


Keycap: MDA-like ball cap PBT thermal sublimation process


Connection method: three-mode wired, bluetooth, 2.4g


Battery: about 70 days when used alone


Let's do a simple disassembly first.



From the perspective of the keyboard structure, in order to ensure the stability and support of the connection, the keyboard is fixed very firmly. The steel plate positioning plate further enhances the feedback feel, which is very hard, and it is molded to fit their exclusive voice module. The cavity sound also increased.


In terms of switches, although the Gpro switch is an entry-level switch with a price of one yuan, the price of this keyboard has reached 600+. In this current mass production market environment, the simple GPRO switch is obviously not enough. Look, at the same time, only the choice of red and yellow switches and no hot-swap function also make this keyboard stretched in terms of switch body customization.


In terms of keycaps, PBT sublimation keycaps are used. Compared with the two-color injection molded ABS material keycaps, the anti-oiling ability is significantly enhanced. However, for mass-produced keyboards, the cost of dye-sublimation keycaps is definitely higher than that of two-color injection molding. In terms of details, it is unlikely that the heat-sublimation keycaps of mass-produced keyboards will use very fine materials. The keycaps are also slightly rough in appearance.


From the perspective of a customized player, this keyboard is obviously not in line with the current mainstream feel requirements. If it were not for this experience, this keyboard would probably be forgotten by me in the torrent of information.


Jumping out of the player's perspective, from a user's perspective, is this keyboard as ordinary as I said?


If you have paid attention to domestic smartphones before, I believe you will be deeply impressed by the TNT voice recognition error problem that made Luo Yonghao sweat profusely at Smartisan's Bird's Nest press conference. Coincidentally, it was the University of Science and Technology that cooperated with Smartisan at that time Xunfei's technology, the seed of language recognition that was in its infancy at the early stage, has now grown into a small tree that can provide shade for people.


The growth history of intelligent voice input


ill-fated first half of life


Half a century ago, John Pierce, known as the father of satellite communications, gave a verdict on the technology of speech recognition


Just like turning water into gasoline, extracting gold from the sea, and completely curing cancer, it is almost impossible for machines to recognize speech


In the long years, speech recognition is like the most clumsy child in the artificial intelligence "preschool". When other technologies, such as computer vision technology, are advancing by leaps and bounds, speech recognition is still babbling and confused. long march. Large-scale speech recognition research began after the 1970s, and has made substantial progress in the recognition of small vocabulary and isolated words. After the 1980s, the focus of speech recognition research gradually shifted to large vocabulary, non-specific continuous speech recognition.


The perspective came to China, although our country started the scientific research of speech recognition technology very early, starting in 1958, the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used electronic tube circuits to recognize 10 vowels. However, due to limited conditions, China's speech recognition research has been at a stage of slow development. In 1973, the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences started computer speech recognition. In 1999, HKUST Xunfei was founded by several college students with technical backgrounds, and has been researching speech recognition, speech synthesis and other technologies. Before the 21st century, most of our country played a marginal role in speech recognition technology.


But all this changed in 2010, and 2010 is also a very memorable year for me, the release of Apple 4 and the wave of smart phones. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear trees bloomed. In just a few years, the technological trees spread like wings of light, and life has undergone earth-shaking changes. That is, in this year, speech recognition technology has made great progress, and then it has been advancing by leaps and bounds.



At the same time, the development of the Internet has also provided rich nourishment for speech recognition, making it possible to build a general large-scale language model and acoustic model.


From 2006 to 2019, iFLYTEK won the championship in the International Speech Synthesis Competition (Blizzard Challenge) (1) for 14 consecutive years.



Xunfei seems to be more low-key than other peers. It has been quietly researching technology, focusing on the input method as the core. The version iteration and upgraded technology of the input method basically represent the latest technical direction of Xunfei in the field of recognition.



For me, the voice input function is a "familiar stranger". Although in daily life, voice input has become an integral part of my life, such as using the voice-to-text function during chats and conversations. But on the computer side, I have hardly used the voice input function, because for me, my level is not up to the "export". It is true that the efficiency of voice input is very high, but I am more accustomed to using the keyboard to input longer documents. At the same time, for me, "not being noticed" is also one of the reasons why I don't use voice input to write long texts.


But after in-depth communication with them, some of my inherent prejudices about voice input began to melt, and I gradually understood their product concepts and some current ideas. After experiencing some products of Xunfei peripherals, I also noticed that To their obsession with "smart voice".


HKUST Xunfei has produced a lot of intelligent voice + fusion products, such as office notebooks, projectors, recording pens, etc., but the integration of keyboard and mouse seems a bit clumsy and cute.


How to integrate intelligent voice with office keyboard and mouse? It's "simple", just plug the two together and you're done.



These products that combine mouse and intelligent voice have iterated multiple versions and adapted to different models.


In my opinion, this is indeed an almost "violent" integration. The voice chip is built into the mouse, and a button is added to cooperate with the software driver to turn the "smart voice mouse" into reality. This may be a relatively safe choice at present. Through this form, a simple and simple "smart voice life" can be realized. In their product ecological line, I can see a trace of the concept of "Internet". Layout in various office scenarios to achieve the effect of "voice office" in a shallow way.



Industry solutions from Xunfei official website


Speaking of keyboards, Xunfei has also produced some products in the keyboard field.



These two membrane keyboards with different configurations are the first generation products of Xunfei smart keyboard and mouse.


Xunfei has always focused on office and study in smart voice products. Our keyboard and mouse are mainly office attributes. At present, the office mouse and office keyboard have almost reached a bottleneck period, so we want to develop a bigger Market, thinking about exploring games, office and games.


Of course, in addition to the long-term label of the game on the mechanical keyboard, the lifespan has also become a major focus of this entry into the field of mechanical keyboards.


At the beginning, I made a membrane keyboard, because the membrane keyboard is more in line with the attributes of the office, it is easy to carry, and everyone can use it on business trips. It does seem to be more neat than traditional mechanical keyboards on the desktop, so we wanted to make one in the early stage. Intelligent voice membrane keyboard, and the production scheme of the membrane keyboard is relatively mature, but what we did not expect is that the repair rate of the membrane keyboard is very high, and the quality level is not easy to control.


In fact, one point to be mentioned here is that an important factor for the membrane keyboard to dominate the office market is the low price, so that some other shortcomings of the membrane keyboard can be ignored. After all, it is not distressing to replace it, but when the membrane keyboard is used After the addition of some other functions leads to an increase in the overall price, the lifespan, the weakening of the handle, and the maintenance have become major problems. It is no longer a product that can be replaced at will.


Although they are all keyboards, the experience of making membrane keyboards cannot be transferred to the production of mechanical keyboards. Making a mechanical keyboard is equivalent to starting from scratch for the entire team.



First of all, the biggest problem is the choice of switches. Different from the few choices of membrane keyboards, the mechanical switches on the market can be said to be in full bloom. In addition to Cherry, which has dominated the list for many years, domestic switches have also risen.


Why choose Jiadalong shaft?


At the beginning, we were vacillating among many manufacturers. After contacting these manufacturers, we finally chose Jiadalong among several manufacturers that can produce stable products. On the one hand, we did some market research and tested a lot. The switch body, through cost performance, feel, comfort, etc., including we tested a batch of prototypes externally, equipped with a variety of switch bodies, according to the final feedback, the yellow switch and the red switch, everyone thinks that the user experience is the best. On the other hand, considering the technical level, compared with some other manufacturers and shafts with traditional technology, Jiadalong is self-lubricating, the use of alloy contacts, and compatibility, which are also very important to us. At the same time, Jiadalong's serious and responsible attitude towards our products is also recognized by us.


The second point is the keycap. In fact, in terms of keycaps, for mass-produced products, sublimation is extremely uneconomical. Using two-color injection molds to mass-produce keycaps can greatly reduce production costs.


Why did you choose to make sublimation keycaps in the end?


In terms of keycaps, we finalized several plans at the beginning, including two-color injection molded ABS keycaps, yellow keys with sublimation, and other keys with two-color injection molded ABS keycaps and full-key sublimation keycaps. We made several versions later, but in the end, we still feel that the same material and workmanship of the full key is still very important in terms of visual perception. At the same time, the sublimation version is better in terms of user experience, including oil resistance. Considering that our keyboard is still It is a long-term use product, so try to do the best that can be done within the budget in terms of durability


In fact, if the built-in voice function is implemented, the physical voice module on the right side of the keyboard is actually not necessary. Why is it finally made into this shape?


It actually took a long time to open the shell mold, because our model is obviously different from other keyboards in shape. In order to make the texture of the shell and some small details of the connection, the decoration on the back panel . Guarantee that this keyboard is a perfect fit.



In fact, I am still more concerned about this voice folder. Careful viewers can actually see that logically, "voice button + built-in radio" can actually realize the linkage between this keyboard and software. Why did you still make a physical voice folder? Woolen cloth?


Originally, we didn’t have a voice clip. The keyboard comes with a voice key, so we didn’t expect to add a detachable voice clip. At the workstation, generally do not move randomly, especially mechanical keyboards, and membrane keyboards are also possible.


Later we thought about how to integrate the voice recognition function of this keyboard into various scenarios more deeply, and a detachable voice folder came into being. After wearing the voice folder, users can record meetings, transfer meetings For writing and the like, you can even realize one-key "spray" characters in the game. Everyone will use this keyboard more and more, and the usage scenarios will be more diversified.


At the same time benefiting from this voice clip, the sound recording is clearer than before, and the feedback is faster. We think this is still helpful to the game scene, and it also improves the effect of this keyboard taking into account the game. The core It is the use of the voice folder in the game. As far as the user experience feedback is concerned, the "spray" function of the voice folder is still very attractive.


For this product, there are few options for shell color and style, and the lack of hot-swap function. Will these be resolved in the future?


We actually wanted to do a variety of color schemes. At the beginning, there are about 20 kinds of color schemes, and several of them are very good, but in actual operation, we went to the factory to color the color and the effect was not very ideal. To make this keyboard, from conception to design to actual mass production , It has been more than two years, and when it is about to go on the market, we choose the most stable color matching that has been debugged by the factory, which is the current color matching.




Regarding hot-swapping and rgb lighting, we actually wanted to add it in at the beginning, but after thinking about it, it is our first mechanical keyboard after all, and it is not suitable for hard stacking. It might be self-defeating. This keyboard, including Xunfeike’s large keyboard and mouse, is mainly smart, so we still focus on the software. During the marketing process, we also collected a lot of user suggestions, and we will continue to optimize and upgrade in the future. up the tempo. Compared with traditional membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards still have more playability.


In fact, when we talked about this, we already have a good understanding of the hardware part of this keyboard, and if this keyboard wants to exert its full strength, software is essential.


When it comes to HKUST Xunfei, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is its software strength as a technology company.




The first is the three smart function buttons. In addition to the smart voice key, smart screen capture, smart search, and smart recording can also contribute to the usual office work. The realization of these button functions depends on the intelligent voice assistant developed by Xunfei University of Science and Technology.


At the beginning, we wanted to add all the functions to it. In the end, we only left a few core pieces. We have about 400,000 registered users. By analyzing the usage habits of users, which functions are used the most, we start from From the addition at the beginning to the subtraction until now, what remains are basically some functions that users are more concerned about.


These functions are actually more in line with the application scenarios of the current speech recognition function-recording and searching.


Of course, these functions do not seem to be much different from other software on the market, but in terms of actual use experience, the biggest feeling I personally feel is "fast". Compared with the voice recognition that comes with the win system, Xunfei's voice recognition It is more fluent and silky, and can basically achieve the effect of talking with the mouth, while some traditional software basically uploads and recognizes words one by one in this regard.


Xunfei’s speech recognition function, from the original 80% at the beginning, to 98% of Mandarin now, 400 words per minute, currently used in Xunfei’s keyboard is an algorithm of Xunfei’s input method, due to space limitations, here Do not expand the description.


Future can be expected


As the first mechanical keyboard cross-border product of Xunfei University of Science and Technology, the performance of T8 can be said to have both surprises and shortcomings. From the perspective of the mechanical keyboard itself, this keyboard still has a lot of room for improvement, but from the perspective of putting it into a voice recognition crossover product, this keyboard still has a lot to be commended, whether it is You can feel the mold opening design of the shell, or the hard work on software adaptation.


Against the background of the keyboard market growing wildly, this keyboard is on a completely different track. In any case, this keyboard needs to compete with other opponents after all. Coincidentally, keyboard manufacturers in the circle are on the cusp of crazy volume configuration. The configuration of this keyboard is obviously unable to touch the volume king, but I still hope that this keyboard can be seen by more users. This keyboard may not be so It is cost-effective, but there is no doubt that this is beneficial to the entire keyboard ecology. I also hope that iFLYTEK can continue to work in the field of mechanical keyboards and make some more interesting products.

Hello everyone, welcome to Sizan.


Today I would like to share with you the experience of using the MCHOSE/Maicong K980 three-mode mechanical keyboard. The keyboard I used before is equipped with 84, but after using it for a long time, I feel that it is very troublesome when entering the verification code. After all, there is no number pad on the right, so I can only type on the main keyboard area that I am not used to, which makes the whole experience very awkward. , This time I just saw this Mac K980 has a promotional activity and started.

This is Sizan Digital, see you next time~

Foreword:

There are many media people around me who rely on writing for a living. For them, the keyboard is a bowl for eating and a crucial productivity tool. For our gamers, although the keyboard is not something to eat, it is also a vital equipment in our game world, and it is a sword in hand. For those keyboard peripheral enthusiasts, the keyboard has become a "plaything", a gold-swallowing beast that burns money.

Therefore, as long as you don't put the keyboard at home as a figure, whether we are typing or playing games, the keyboard is a crucial input interaction device for us.

Friends who work at desks for a long time and play games urgently need a keyboard with high appearance, more playability and convenience. Today, I will introduce a Rapoo V700DIY keyboard that supports full-size hot-swappable, and customization is popular. , is also Rapoo's first 104-key full-size customized keyboard, equipped with Rapoo's self-developed KA-12 linear fast silver switch/spring white switch, with its own factory moisturizer, making it comfortable to type on the keyboard for a long time.

The character design is neat, and the ink does not overflow, which shows that the craftsmanship is well controlled.






Separate key line design makes storage and carrying more convenient.







Five special function multimedia buttons are added to the upper right corner to adjust the keyboard status more quickly during work and games.



experience:





Use the Type-C cable to connect the computer and the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard to complete the wired connection mode, which is very convenient.









5 steps to change the axle easily and autonomously:

1. Remove the keycap with the key-pulling part of the attached key-pulling device;

2. Use the shaft pulling part of the key puller to insert into the upper and lower parts of the shaft body to pull it out;

3. Press the shaft body to be replaced lightly on the corresponding pinhole on the keyboard motherboard according to the corresponding pin;

4. When a crisp sound is heard, the shaft has been changed successfully;

5. Finally, install the keycap and it can be used normally.

The entire replacement process is simple, smooth, and highly operable. DIY builds a mechanical keyboard that suits you.







After the connection was successful, I tried text input. The pressure is moderate, easy to trigger, and straight up and down. I can input text faster and present the content of my mind as soon as possible. It is completely suitable for long-term office codes. No problem.

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. Whether it is an office or a fixed operation in the game, it can be recorded and saved, which greatly improves the operation efficiency and experience. Rapoo V700DIY has onboard memory, it is very convenient to connect to a new computer after setting it up without having to set it up again. In addition, after logging in, you can realize the cloud storage custom setting button, and when you use a new device next time, you can directly log in to the ID to complete the quick application of the custom configuration.


【Office/Game Experience】


First of all, Rapoo V700DIY is a 104-key full-key mechanical keyboard with no punch, which can be easily controlled for games that require multi-key operation. I actually own CS, DOTA1, Warcraft including writing this sharing, and I use this keyboard.




I have used a lot of keyboard products before, and the Rapoo V700DIY feedback is very fast in terms of gaming experience. After replacing the white switch with ASDW and R keys, there will be a more intuitive and faster game operation experience. It is the belief axis of the game. Now playing games with a high-response linear axis is really unique. In the office scene, the Rapoo V700DIY fast silver switch is not very noisy. After replacing it with the white switch, it feels that the coding efficiency will be higher, and the hand feel is softer and more comfortable. It is also very friendly to female players.



【Summarize】




Today, the mass production process of customized keyboards is unstoppable. V700DIY is the first customized hot-swappable mechanical keyboard of Rapoo. It has a very good appearance, complete functions, and high playability. The most important thing is that the price is really low. It can be used within 300 yuan. Buying a customized keyboard with such high playability is indeed a blessing for players. In addition, the original factory's KA-12 linear fast silver switch and elastic white switch with their own factories have indeed brought me a lot of surprises. The domestic switches are also full of flowers, giving players more choices and more convenience. With full security, all this is not easy. If you are interested in customized keyboards, you may wish to start with this 618 to experience the experience, the playability is really high.
