I have been in contact with some of the R&D personnel of Dareu, and besides discussing with them about products, what I envy most is that they will organize a basketball friendly match within the company after work. He has organized the Daryou Cup Basketball League. When I saw this Dareu × Peak custom peripheral, I was basically sure that it must be mixed with the selfish preferences of the product department staff. Perhaps this joint project has been established for a long time and has not been launched. Compared with the memory of basketball fans, there will be a classic color in the minds of fans, such as the Los Angeles Lakers of the Purple and Gold Army, the Boston Celtics known as the Green Army, and the red representing the Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls. But this time Daryou and Peak chose a very feminine color 'peach color'. The tender pink is more like tailor-made for girls, but it is a gift for boys. Both are skin-changed versions of the star products in the Dareu peripheral series, Dareu mechanic alloy keyboard (customized by Peak), Dareu EH722 headset (customized by Peak), only the changes in the appearance of the skin, here I will not do a detailed evaluation, but simply talk about the past and present of these two products. As a high-volume product with small profits but high sales in the Dareu product line, the Mechanic Alloy Keyboard and EH722 earphones both have an average sales volume of 20W on JD.com, which is beyond the reach of other brands, especially the Mechanic Alloy Keyboard. Peripheral Enlightenment. As the most cost-effective keyboard in the Dareu keyboard product line, it is also the keyboard that I have used peripherals for 16 years. Now 6 years have passed, it is still the best-selling model of Dareu keyboard, and the appearance has not changed at all. . Now it seems that this alloy version keyboard is slightly outdated, the most traditional 108-key full-key layout, the floating keycap structure that is gradually being marginalized, and the wired connection is incompatible with the wireless trend, but it still relies on the simple and attractive appearance. The ultra-low price has become the first choice of many novice players. In my opinion, the change of keycap material from ABS to PBT is the biggest upgrade of this mechanic alloy version. It mainly improves the durability of the keyboard. Early keyboard players suffered from ABS keycap oiling. This set of mechanic alloy version (customized by Peak) adopts two-color injection molded PBT light-transmitting keycaps, which are not only wear-resistant but also light-transmitting, and adopt a closed keycap design with higher aesthetics but more complicated craftsmanship. The presence of light has shadows, but in terms of overall quality, it completely surpasses the positioning of this keyboard. In terms of feel, I remember that the mechanic alloy version used Kaihua switches before. At that time, the quality of domestic switches was average, and things like bad switches and key failures happened from time to time. Now it has been replaced with Dareu’s custom-made shaft body. It is not known who will manufacture it, but the feel and smoothness of the shaft body have been greatly improved, and it is no less than the original cherry. It should be noted that Dareu has always insisted on its own "orphan balance bar structure" on mechanical alloy series keyboards. It has not changed for so many years, which means that it cannot replace the mainstream keycaps on the market. Although the balance bar feels good, there is not much demand for replacing the keycaps under the original PBT material keycaps, but today when the types of such keycaps are greatly enriched, it is always uncomfortable not to be able to change the keycaps. With the pink color of Peak's joint name, this keyboard looks fresher. The positioning of the Dareu EH722 headset (customized by Peak) is very similar to the positioning of the mechanical alloy keyboard above, but it does not look like an entry-level gaming headset from the gas field. A long time ago, I also had the black normal version of this EH722 headset, and the masonry facet lighting is quite handsome. The sound quality is so-so, but in terms of wearing experience, this earphone can be ranked in the top three of all the earphones I use. Its biggest feature is that it is light, suitable for long-term wearing, and it is very comfortable without clamping the ears or pressing the head. I have also seen this headset in coffee. The most impressive thing is the appearance in the full-time master. When I saw Yang Yang wearing this headset, I almost couldn't help it. I never thought that the first time the same model as the star was actually a gaming headset. This EH722 peak is customized with peach skin and has improved temperament Wiggins' exclusive LOGO and all-star logo, blessing of faith The facets of the diamond remain The self-adaptive telescopic head beam structure automatically adjusts the telescopic length of the head beam when wearing it, and fits the head. Compared with the one-piece structure, the head beam is softer, the pressure on the head is more dispersed, and generally speaking, the comfort is higher. Thick and thick earmuffs and widened headband It is a pity that the mouse is not included in the joint package. The quality and cost-effectiveness are sufficient to match the theme of sports + e-sports. Although the positioning of the two products is not high, it cannot stop the love of basketball teenagers.

Which axis of the mechanical keyboard is the best for office work?

The black switch has a long service life, short trigger distance, straight up and down, but it feels heavy, suitable for playing games; The red switch is similar to the black switch, the difference is that it is easier to type, taking into account both typing and game use; The representative axis of the green axis mechanical keyboard, the percussion feeling is great, and the typing is very rhythmic, but the disadvantage is that the sound is relatively noisy; The price of the tea switch is more expensive, and it is weaker than the green switch, and it does not have the straight up and down feeling of the black switch, which can be regarded as a complex. For office use, except for the black switch, I think other switches can be tried, depending on which one is more suitable for you. By the way, I use the red switch, and it seems to be fine for a few years. Which axis is better for mechanical keyboards? The black switch is a kind of power switch, straight up and down, without a sense of step, the feel is the same as pressing on a spring, the spring is full of elasticity, rebounds quickly, and the response is very sensitive. But if you are the kind of game player who presses every button to the bottom (such as DNF arrow keys to run, eat chicken W to run), the black switch may make you very tired. So it is not recommended for novices to try the black axis. The green axis is the axis with the most mechanical feeling, the sound of clicking and the sense of paragraphs will cause brain orgasms every minute. If you want to use one word to describe the green switch, then I think it is "rhythm". Whether you are playing games or typing, the clicking sound and paragraph sense of the green switch will give you a feedback of "the button has been triggered", which can give you a sense of rhythm. A very comfortable rhythm. The disadvantage is that the main sound is relatively loud. If it is used in the dormitory or at night, it will easily affect the rest of others. Therefore, the green axis is not suitable for high-speed input and long-term text input. The tea shaft is a relatively moderate shaft, also known as "the least distinctive shaft". It has a little bit of a vague sense of paragraph, but it is far less crisp than the green shaft, so that some people say that tea The feel of the shaft is like a more advanced film. The red switch is also a very popular switch. It is actually a black switch with a small elastic spring, and the force is 1/4 smaller than that of the black switch. Soft and light to the touch. When typing, there will be a feeling of flying between the fingers, which is very suitable for long-term typing and high-speed input. At the same time, the red axis is triggered quickly, and it can also take into account the game well. So the red axis is also very suitable for novices to buy. Generally speaking, the black switch is suitable for game parties. It is basically silent, has a quick response, and is very flexible when pressed. The green axis is suitable for typing, with a crisp sound and a strong sense of paragraph, and the sound is very prominent in the dead of night. The tea switch is relatively neutral and soft when pressed, which is suitable for games or business offices. The red switch is equivalent to the evolution version of the tea switch, which feels lighter and easier to tap. Therefore, if you want to mute the business office keyboard, you should choose the red switch, and if you want to type sound, you should choose the green switch;

I love the blue sky and white clouds in summer, I love the gorgeous sunset in summer, and I love iced soda in summer... Although this summer has passed, I still want to keep the tail of summer and maintain the feeling of hot and refreshing summer. The original wishful thinking, Luofei 1% transparent mechanical keyboard vitality orange made me think about "orange". If Lofree’s 1% fully transparent mechanical keyboard, which was popular some time ago, brought transparent and pure beauty, then the latest Lofree Luofei [1% Vitality Orange] brought a translucent and agile jump, vitality. Full of summer flavors. 1% comes from unwillingness to be mediocre, so that "Lofree Luo Fei", which has made a circle with the ultimate design, brings us more surprises. Going back to this Lofree [1% Vitality Orange], it still uses pure transparent keycaps and high-gloss plating base, but it adds pure and refreshing summer blue and vitality orange full of enthusiasm and vitality. With this keyboard, It seems to lock the freshness of the whole summer. Of course, it is not easy to achieve a pure texture and add vivid colors. First of all, the keycap is made of PC material imported from Germany with more stable performance and more transparent texture and patented keycap structure, which not only brings transparent and bright visual effects, but also ensures delicate touch and withstands long-term knocking. Timeless. In order to bring out the vitality of the summer, it is matched with the character keycaps of the 2022 summer limited theme Summer Boom. Each character is round and clear. In addition, there are some skeuomorphic character designs, which also fit the summer theme very well. For example, the Summer Boom characters engraved on the space key cap of vitality orange, such as the sun on the ENTER key... The clear keycap allows the switch body below to be seen at a glance, so the switch body is also uniquely designed. Under the blue keycap is a transparent jellyfish switch, and the orange is matched with the orange switch body to make the color more layered. Similarly, the high-gloss plated bottom case is also transparent and clear, with unique 1% characters and bright silver-textured nameplates and screws. From the keycap to the shaft body to the bottom case, it is exactly the same clear and bright The temperament of this 1% vitality orange lies. As mentioned earlier, the appearance of the jellyfish axis is mainly characterized by its transparent body and good light transmission. Lofree [1% Vitality Orange] supports 7 lighting effects and 4 levels of brightness adjustment, whether it is shimmering or twinkling or radiant, and it has a unique flavor when used with different speeds and scenes. In addition, the clarity and agility of this vitality orange are added. In terms of hand feel, the jellyfish switch with Kaihua MX structure has a very smooth tap feel, which is very close to the feel of the red switch, and it also has a relatively crisp sound. In terms of practicality, this Lofree [1% Vitality Orange] provides two connection methods, Type-C wired and Bluetooth 5.1, and the connection method and system can be switched through the button at the bottom of the keyboard to realize multiple devices and multiple systems such as mobile phones, computers, and tablets. Compatible to meet different usage scenarios. Moreover, the switching speed between devices is fast, and the connection stability is also good. There is basically no delay in daily typing and surfing the Internet. The 68-key compact layout does not take up too much desktop space, leaving more space for my favorite desks and office supplies. In addition, the design of full-key without punching and the full-function keyboard also greatly increase the practicality of Lofree [1% Vitality Orange]. The Type-C interface is set on the rear side of the base, which can be used for wired connection on the one hand, and it is also a charging jack. In terms of battery life, Lofree [1% Vitality Orange] has a built-in 2000mAh battery, which can be fully charged in 3 hours. In the mode of turning off the backlight after full charge, it can last for 100 hours. Turning on the backlight consumes a little more power, but fortunately, the rechargeable design does not need to worry too much about power issues. Lofree is deeply involved in the field of fashion design, and has created a variety of good-looking items in the 2㎡ FUN space. For me, the latest 1% Vitality Orange is a rare mechanical keyboard that "falls at one glance" and "addicts to one click". In terms of appearance, it has a pure texture and full of vitality. With the embellishment of 7 kinds of lighting effects, it is always the brightest scenery on the desktop no matter in spring, summer, autumn or winter. The PC material imported from Germany, the patented keycap and the transparent jellyfish shaft body also ensure its clear texture, delicate touch and soft and smooth tapping experience. In addition, as a 68-key full-featured keyboard, 1% Vitality Orange supports dual-mode connection, is compatible with a variety of device systems, and has a built-in lithium battery rechargeable design, which can be described as a practical choice for beauty users.

Speaking of ROG, there are quite a lot of interesting products in optical axis and mechanical axis recently, and in an event recently, I got ROG’s Yaoguang 2 magic mechanical keyboard, which still fits the definition of handsome in my heart, fun multimedia The operation area, the handsome light-display matrix display screen, and the leather hand rest that supports the light guide belt are full of appearance, so let me take a look at how this keyboard is. In terms of packaging, the basic ROG family style shows some selling points of the keyboard. AniMe Matrix light matrix screen, multimedia operating area, 8000Hz high return rate, PBT two-color injection molding light-transmitting keycaps, sound-absorbing cotton design, etc. There are not many accessories in the package. In addition to the ROG logo sticker and manual, there are also leather hand rests, key pullers, shaft pullers, etc. The keyboard adopts a standard 104-key design, and it is very convenient to have better keycaps later. Suspended design, aluminum alloy panel is used on the surface, and the anti-fingerprint performance is good. Let’s take a look at my favorite multimedia control area first. The lever-type up and down operation method, click on the side is to pause the playback, and there is also the volume adjustment wheel, which can be pressed at the same time, and it is the mute switch. The overall operation is relatively Compared with the usual operation method, it is more handsome. There are two push-type switches on the right side of the volume operation area. At first I thought it was a lever. It is a pity that this area defaults to the lock of the windows button and the brightness of the lights. gear adjustment. Because the keyboard data cable adopts the Y-shaped dual USB interface design, it can be guessed that the keyboard must also support the design of USB HUB, and the top supports full-featured USB interface extension, which can be directly connected to the mouse, wireless transmitter, or U Disks and the like are quite convenient to use. The back design is also the line style of the family, engraved with ROG's big eyes logo, and the foot support provides a one-step height adjustment, which is enough for daily use. As for the switch body of the keyboard, ROG’s own NX series mechanical switch body is used. The one I got is a hawthorn red switch, with a linear switch feel, 1.8mm trigger key travel, 4mm full key travel, 40gf initial pressure, 45gf trigger pressure , the overall feel rebounds obviously, and the linear axis can also bring a very refreshing typing feel. The keyboard supports the hot-swappable design of all keys, but it can be seen that only the tripod shaft is supported, and there may be certain restrictions on the choice of shafts, but there are not many pentagonal shafts themselves, so the problem is not big. You can look down through the pcb, and the lower part is filled with sound-absorbing cotton, which can well reduce the cavity sound behind the keys, so that the sound can be more HIFI when typing on the keyboard. The satellite axis part adopts ROG's own modified design structure, and the overall factory also has an optimized design. It feels relatively stable to use, and thanks to the sufficient rebound strength of the NX hawthorn red axis, the overall satellite axis feedback is very simple. , and the consistency is good, but this satellite axis also has a shortcoming, that is, the left and right sides are not fixed stably, so when installing the keyboard, you need to align the part of the satellite axis, unlike the usual satellite axis, just install the keycap casually, just pay more attention . The keycap adopts the light-transmitting design of PBT two-color injection molding. On the one hand, the PBT material has good anti-wear and anti-oil performance, and the matte feel is quite comfortable for typing. The two-color light transmission also ensures the display effect of the light. And the keyboard adopts the standard 104 key positions, and it is very convenient to replace the personalized keycaps by yourself later. But for ROG, Yaoguang 2 Magic is of course the full body of the keyboard after turning on the light. The transition effect of the overall keyboard backlight is uniform, and the transparent upper cover of the shaft body has good light transmission. The AniMe Matrix light matrix screen in the upper right corner, in addition to the daily logo display, will have a corresponding display of each button when pressing the multimedia operation area. The brightness of the light, the status of the volume, and the operation will all be available, and the gameplay is still quite good. And there is a shortcut key to adjust the brightness of the light. Under different lighting conditions, the brightness of the shortcut key also changes accordingly, full of details. The driver is still the Altron driver of the ROG family barrel. After the peripherals are connected, it will automatically prompt to update the driver. The subsequent settings are simple and convenient. The full keyboard supports customization. At the same time, the multimedia area can also be completely customized by itself, which is very convenient. In terms of lighting, in addition to the built-in various lighting effects, it also supports ROG's Aura Sync divine light synchronization, which can perform good lighting linkage with a variety of peripherals that support synchronization. At the same time, in the performance part of the driver, it can also be seen that the keyboard supports the highest performance return rate of 8000Hz. The higher return rate can make your operations be recognized by the computer faster, allowing you to play more in the game. One step ahead. The AniMe Matrix light matrix screen also has a special driver setting part. In addition to directly using some built-in animation effects, the driver also provides more animation extension downloads. There are various animation effects made by players in the mall, and the keyboard It also supports the dynamic display of multiple animations in series, and the playability is leveraged. At the same time, the display matrix part also supports some display modes of the system, such as alarm clock, date, etc., as well as music mode, which makes your keyboard more personalized. At the bottom of the keyboard, there is also a LED light strip with good lighting effects. At the same time, the light guide bar adopts a magnetic design. If you want to install the part of the hand rest, you need to remove the light guide bar, and then store it in the hand rest. If you don't remove the light guide strip, the palm rest and the keyboard won't fit perfectly. The magnetic palm rest has a built-in light guide belt, which can extend the LED light on the PCB to the palm rest. The overall texture of the palm rest and the leather feel are quite good. At the same time, there is an extension of the light, so that the lighting of the keyboard is consistent. It will also perform better. ROG Glory 2 magic mechanical keyboard, with a fun multimedia control area, handsome and highly customizable AniMe Matrix light matrix screen, full-key hot-swappable support, so that the keyboard has a lot of optional switches , with a handsome leather hand rest that supports light guide, it will be very comfortable for daily use. All kinds of powerful blessings make Yaoguang 2 Magic worthy of the name of the flagship. Friends who like light pollution are worth a look. try it.

When it comes to HKUST Xunfei, it is estimated that the first reaction of many friends is their voice input method. I have experienced it before, but I am not the target user. In the second half of last year, HKUST Xunfei also added the inner roll of the key ring, but unlike other brands, it is not a roll with a touch screen, but a combination of their own proud voice input technology and a mechanical keyboard. Designed this mechanical keyboard T8 with its own microphone. Before reading this article, readers may wish to ask the following questions: So can voice input replace our code word input method? Which scenarios are more suitable for voice input, and which are more suitable for using this mechanical keyboard of iFLYTEK? Part of the content of this article is completed by HKUST iFLYTEK mechanical keyboard T8, for the convenience of reading, hereinafter referred to as T8. Before explaining this keyboard in detail, let me tell you about the configuration of this keyboard: Reference price: 1099 yuan Arrangement: 80% arrangement, 87 keys Color: gray Keycap: PBT sublimation process, MDA-like height ball cap Switch body: Jiadalong G Pro 2.0 red switch/yellow switch Connection mode: three-mode Others: voice input clip, volume wheel Part of the content of this article is completed by the voice input of this T8 keyboard, and the content that is not suitable for voice input will be explained in detail later. The packaging box of the keyboard is quite satisfactory, and I won’t show too much here. After opening, there is a type-c data cable, key puller, manual, keyboard body and dust cover. What I want to add here is that the T8 dust cover is printed with Some descriptions of the functions of FN key combinations, which is convenient for users to get on the keyboard faster. The overall keyboard is an 87-key TKL layout with 80% arrangement, but unlike the 87-key keyboard in the scene, there is an extra column on the right to increase the volume wheel, keyboard physical switch, and microphone clip storage and charging position. The keycap is a ball cap with a height similar to MDA. The contact area of ​​the finger pulp is larger, and the touch of the code is more comfortable. The overall theme of the keyboard is gray. The main color of the keycap is mainly white, and the gray keycaps are interspersed to distinguish them. The keycaps of several special function keys and the ESC and space bar are yellow. Personally, I think the color of the keycaps is a little too much. In the upper right corner is a volume knob. Swipe up and down to increase/decrease the volume. Click and press the next button to mute. The overall feel is not bad. Below are the keyboard physical switches, indicator lights and voice clips. In addition to placing the voice clip in this slot, the keyboard will also charge the voice clip when placed on it. Between the ESC and F1 in the upper left corner is the Bluetooth connection status indicator light. Press and hold FN + F10, F11, and F12 to switch the connection among the three Bluetooth devices. Whichever indicator light is on indicates which device is currently connected, and the continuous flashing is In the Bluetooth connection, the connection indication is better than other keyboards without a display. Compared with other keyboards, the keyboard frame has been treated with anti-cutting hands, and a certain arc is cut, so you don’t have to worry about scratching your hands when moving the keyboard. Flipping to the back, it supports two-stage foot supports, and there is a long storage compartment in the middle where the wireless 2.4G receiver and the Mac supplementary keycap are placed. From the side of the keyboard, you can see the MDA-like keycaps. The height of the F area is easier for fingers to touch. The ball-like caps allow fingers to touch the keycaps with a larger area and a better touch. You can choose the red and yellow versions of Jiadalong G Pro 2.0 for the switch body. Both are linear switches with a good feel at about 1 yuan. The pressure of the red switch is lighter. If you don’t like heavy pressure switches, you can choose the red switch . The one I own is a red switch. The Jiadalong GPro2.0 is more lubricated than the previous switch, and the light transmission effect is better after adding a condenser. You need to download the voice assistant from the official website of HKUST Xunfei. If you are also on a mac system, remember to enable the auxiliary function of the voice assistant after the installation is complete, so that it can be used normally. After the installation is complete, you can see the user guide of this T8 keyboard when you open it for the first time. After entering the assistant, you can set the online and offline modes. There are more functions available in the online mode. After all, voice search related functions need to be connected to the Internet. In the general settings, you can modify the shortcut keys and whether to automatically send text in chat mode according to your own needs. In the device management, you can see the relevant status, connection mode and power of the T8 keyboard. After the software is installed, press and hold the voice button on the right side of FN or the round button on the voice folder to wake up the voice assistant. What you say will be converted into text and displayed below. If the text does not appear at your cursor, it means that the auxiliary function for the voice assistant has not been enabled like I did at the beginning. The accuracy rate of speech-to-text has been experienced several times, but when some idioms and English are mixed, there will be some deviations. The smart search function in the upper right corner, click on it will pop up a voice box to support direct voice search, and you can also use voice to control the computer to open the control panel and other operations, similar to siri operations. The third function key in the upper right corner is smart recording. After pressing it, an input box will pop up, which can record a period of speech and convert it into text, and will record this segment of voice, which is suitable for meeting minutes. After personally using and experiencing the related functions of this keyboard, I personally think that it is suitable for the following usage scenarios: It is used for friends who often need to make meeting minutes, and friends who need to use voice input at the same time during the thinking process. According to personal experience, voice input is more efficient than typing without fully considering the accuracy rate. However, this keyboard does not support hot swapping, so it may not be suitable for friends who need to replace the switch. The above is all the evaluation content of this T8, I hope it can help everyone.
