Through the transparent bottom shell, you can also see that the interior is filled with a thick bottom silicone pad, which is very helpful for improving the feel and reducing noise. The four corners of the keyboard provide long strips of non-slip foot pads, the left and right sides of the top are two-stage feet with non-slip rubber, and the middle position is a magnetic metal information nameplate. The layout is simple and clear. Users can adjust the inclination of the keyboard by adjusting the two-stage support feet on the top to reduce the fatigue caused by long-term use and make the input experience easier and more comfortable. The magnetic metal nameplate in the middle provides the specification information of the keyboard, and can act as a storage compartment cover, so that users can store the wireless adapter with confidence, and the details are still in place.

键帽&轴体：

The upstart GM980 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard provides four types of switches, including the starry sky switch and Dailuo switch jointly customized with Kaihua, and the currently well-known Kaihua BOX White and Jiadalong G Silver Pro. The author got the Kaihua BOX white switch designed for paragraph feel. This shaft body has a moderate sense of paragraph, moderate trigger pressure and crisp and transparent "Click" also make this shaft body have a clear sense of rhythm when tapping, and also have high smoothness and stability when pressing , the overall performance is still very good. The satellite axis scheme is adopted for the large key position, and the feel adjustment is also very good. The vibration and abnormal noise are properly controlled, and the feel is neat and crisp, and the performance is still very good. The GM980 series keyboard is also equipped with a full-key hot-swappable solution, which is compatible with three-legged switches and five-legged switches, making it easier and more convenient for users to replace switches, and also provides higher playability performance for the keyboard.

The keyboard is equipped with a set of PBT double-color injection keycaps with the height of the original factory. The colors of the keycaps also correspond to their respective theme schemes, which greatly improves the overall appearance of the keyboard. The keycap is a closed character scheme with an opaque design. The surface has a slightly frosted texture, which has an excellent tactile performance, and the PBT material has good oil resistance and wear resistance, which can resist surface wear in daily use. The resulting problems such as blurred characters and greasy feeling take into account both tactility and durability. The included theme keycaps are treated with five-sided thermal sublimation process, with gorgeous colors and delicate touch. The embellishment also has a good performance, and can further enhance the appearance of the keyboard.

Not long ago, I reviewed RK's new H87, which is the 87-key + knob design keyboard with a mobile phone groove (ashtray) on the upper part. I think RK's price-performance ratio is not bad under 500 yuan, so I bought it this time. An old product of their family, RK98, has a good price/performance ratio. After using it for a while, I will bring you this unboxing evaluation.

Reference price: 399 yuan
Arrangement: 100 arrangement with knob
Color: warrior, shimmer, water green
Keycap: PBT two-color injection keycap
Shaft body: TTC colorful shaft
Connection mode: three-mode hot-swappable
Others: RGB supports music rhythm

The quality control of the first batch of RK 98 had a small problem, which was complained by many players. After the satellite switch was replaced in the subsequent batch, it felt very good. It is worth starting with a 98-like keyboard at around 400 yuan. There are warriors in terms of keycap color matching. .

Unpacking and packing accessories

RK's packaging is not as monotonous as before, it has a red and conspicuous pull-out cover.

After opening the box, you can see the keyboard*1, the dual-purpose shaft puller*1, the plastic type-c data cable*1, the instruction manual*1, and the dust cover*1.

Although the model name of RK98 is 98, it is actually 100 keys. There are more PrtSc and Del keys on the right side of F12, and the F area is moved to the left. F1 is above the number 1. For friends who have developed muscle memory in playing dota2, Games are not very convenient.

There are three keycap colors of warrior, shimmer, and water green. The one in my hand is a water green color, and the white and green colors are spliced ​​together. The overall appearance of the keyboard is very high.

The design is basically the same as that of the H87. The plug-in port is on the upper left corner of the keyboard, and there are also two USB expansion ports. However, the domestic version of RK98 is sealed and cannot be used. I don’t know why. It is said that the foreign version seems to support the use of these two USB ports. expansion port.

Flip to the back, on both sides are relatively tight two-stage feet, which are not easy to move around when propped up. Next to the left foot is the storage slot for the wireless 2.4g receiver, which is magnetically attached to it, so don’t worry about not using the 2.4G time to fall.

There are two small physical switches in the lower left corner, the left side is the Bluetooth and wireless 2.4G switch, and the right switch is the wired and wireless switch. The design is relatively small because the switch is too large to cause the back to bulge.

The LEDs are arranged vertically between the numeric keypad and the letter area.

The keycaps are two-color injection molded OEM height keycaps made of PBT, which are opaque as a whole. When the keycaps of several large keys are taken off, there is no problem of rotten chrysanthemums. The overall quality of the keycaps is good. RK's logo is more eye-catching.

The full key supports three-pin and five-pin shaft hot-swappable, the lower lamp position design, a layer of sandwich cotton under the space, the overall cavity sound is not very serious

The overall quality of this batch of satellite shafts in my hand is good, and the factory lubrication is not very thick, which is just right. If I remember correctly, RK Taobao store started selling this batch of satellite shafts separately a while ago. It seems to be more than a dozen yuan. For the money, the price/performance ratio is very high.

From another angle, you can see the sound-absorbing cotton under the positioning plate.

The axis body is conveniently equipped with TTC's joint colorful axis, which comes with a light guide column. Personally, I feel that there is not much difference between the feel and gold powder. I feel that the initial pressure difference is not big when I take it out and collide with gold powder. However, I personally feel that Colorful is a bit duller than gold powder, and it is heavier to use. It is not as smooth as gold powder.

It is worth mentioning that RK98 is the same as RKH87. Although they are all colorful switches, different keycaps use different colors. The water green keycap is a green upper cover switch body, the low light keycap is a yellow upper cover switch body, and the warrior keycap It is the shaft body of the red upper cover.

Since it is the light guide column version, I have to show the lighting effect. Whether it is during the day or after the lights are turned off, the overall lighting effect is good, and the most surprising thing is that it also supports music rhythm.

If your budget is around 400 yuan, you don’t mind the compact layout of 100 keys, and you want to buy a mechanical keyboard with good grip and good RGB effects, then I think RK98 is a very cost-effective choice, and the overall adjustment of large keys is also good. There is no serious cavity sound, and the smoothness of the TTC colorful shaft is also good, so it is worth buying.

If you don't like the water green color scheme, you can look at other warriors and shimmering color schemes

During the Double Eleven carnival shopping festival, I believe that many friends are thinking about buying some high-value electronic equipment, digital peripherals, and table accessories. Speaking of which, the keyboard is also a device that many friends will choose to buy during Double Eleven. The same is true for me. I usually work so hard, so I thought about choosing a good-looking office keyboard for myself!

1. Before purchasing, let’s talk about what features should be equipped with an excellent keyboard?

1. Key points for purchasing an easy-to-use office keyboard:

Quiet, flexible and durable

The office is a place for public work, and the keyboard is usually configured to meet office needs. It is suggested that the electrostatic switch is the first choice for office work, and the red switch and mute red switch commonly used in mechanical keyboards can also be selected. If it is implemented in the brand, CHERRY's red switch and Amilo's cherry blossom powder switch will be good.

Of course, when it comes to office work, the keyboard is often used for typing and coding. It is very important to be flexible and durable. After frequent use, a keyboard that cannot be played when pressed is useless.

2. Key points for purchasing an easy-to-use gaming keyboard:

shaft, ergonomics

At present, there are common mechanical switches on the market, mainly including green switches, black switches, red switches, tea switches, and silver switches. The gap between the switches is generally not very large. Personally, it is recommended to choose a black switch or a red switch. Strong and durable switch - I will press hundreds of keys in a game, and a strong and durable mechanical switch is a must.

Let's talk about the ergonomic design of the keyboard. For example, the game time of lol is about 20-50 minutes. This hour can be said to be continuous, so it is necessary to choose a keyboard that is ergonomically designed and comfortable to hold to reduce hand fatigue.

3. Other functions

Volume, brightness, mute, backlight, display, etc.

For a good keyboard, the details are also important. If we often work/game at night, we can choose a keyboard with RGB backlight function (but it is also dispensable, it is recommended to play with the light on to protect our eyes). In addition to this, I think the keyboard, as an important peripheral, has a high appearance, so that we can have a good mood in office and games!

2. What good keyboard manufacturers are there at present?

At present, when purchasing keyboards in China, Logitech, CHERRY, Razer, Raytheon, etc. are all unavoidable. Most of Luo’s keyboards use Romer-G mechanical switches. In the past few years, it can be seen that the cost of packaging and logistics has been reduced crazily. Almost.

The one with a long history is CHERRY. CHERRY is a keyboard manufacturer in a broad sense, mainly referring to CHERRY GmbH, a German company established in 1953, engaged in the production of computer peripheral keyboards and Switch (axis).

As a veteran manufacturer of mechanical keyboards, CHERRY has a solid foundation in mechanical keyboards, which was unmatched at one time. Friends who want to choose mechanical keyboards can consider it. CHERRY is famous for its mechanical keyboards. Its mechanical switches are divided into MX Switch and ML Switch, the most famous of which is MX Switch.

3. The brand we are discussing this time - CHERRY

As the absolute king in the field of mechanical keyboards, CHERRY will always be a brand that cannot be avoided. In 2014, with the expiration of the CHERRY mechanical switch patent, domestic keyboards ushered in an explosion, relying on the field of customization to strive to overtake in curves. However, CHERRY is also responding quickly to changes in the market, and instead of sitting still, it is actively seeking a way to break through.

In the past few years, CHERRY has actually produced some very good mechanical keyboards. What I want to introduce today is a new product line of CHERRY that is positioned in lightweight office + games. So let’s chat with everyone, CHERRY just launched a new keyboard - KC200MX.

When the rendering came out, the trendy four-color product picture below successfully caught my attention. It's a good idea to rejuvenate the keyboard with the taste of candy. I got the product in a few days, and I also got a mouse of the same brand by the way. Now I will tell you about it.

In order to adapt to the overall technological and trendy table I built, I chose the rock gray sweet orange with a bright orange theme. In addition to the one in my hand, there are also green-themed green-white mint and black-themed ones. Caramel cocoa, orange-themed slate orange and pink-themed strawberry.

Caramel cocoa and rock gray sweet orange are more suitable for boys and cool girls, red strawberry is more suitable for most girls and macho men, green and white mint is more suitable, I think this is suitable for most boys and girls . KC200 utilizes the combination of bright and light colors, while ensuring sufficient visual impact, the keyboard is also more advanced and attractive. It can be seen that CHERRY is really catering to the trendy aesthetics of young people. The keyboard color matching of these four "flavors" can be said to be colorful, widely covering the personalities and tastes of contemporary young people.

The top cover of the keyboard is a metal matte texture top cover. The overall design is simple and fashionable. It shows the quality and is also anti-wear and scratch-resistant, which reasonably prolongs the service life of the keyboard. It is a well-deserved keyboard with both appearance and strength.

Back to the details, the keycaps of the keyboard are designed in a PBT frosted color-contrasted spherical shape, which has a more rounded touch, which greatly prolongs the time for oiling to occur, and the hand feels more delicate. It is really good-looking and easy to use. The keycap looks more rounded. The advantages of PBT keycaps are comfortable touch, good wear resistance, and not easy to oil. Moreover, the font of the keycap is enlarged and bold, and the visual perception is very fashionable.

I chose the red switch of CHERRY KC200Mx. The biggest feature of the red switch is the linear switch. Compared with other switches, the sound is quieter. The sound is not very noisy when typing, and the keyboard provides several additional media in the upper right corner. Key design: volume adjustment key, mute key and calculator key, which help us to adjust the volume and call the calculator conveniently and quickly, which strongly shows the office attributes of the Cherry KC200 MX mechanical keyboard. On this basis, coupled with the signature gold contact technology of the CHERRY axis, the service life is also greatly improved.

There are also bracket feet on the back of the keyboard that can adjust the height of the keyboard. Choose a keyboard height that suits you, and work delicately and happily!

In addition to the keyboard, I also started with CHERRY's MW5180 mouse.

This is a wireless + bluetooth dual-mode mouse, the details are also in place, the symmetrical design, taking into account left-handed users, sufficient battery life and equipped with a low battery indicator, which can effectively prevent the anxiety caused by the mouse battery.

The top cover of the mouse is a magnetic design, and it can be opened with a slight tilt. There is a storage compartment for the 2.4G wireless receiver inside. A AA battery is included in the box, which is very considerate for you to use right away!

The mouse has two modes of 2.4G wireless + Bluetooth. It can connect up to 4 devices at one time, which is convenient for switching and greatly improves work efficiency. The mouse is moderate in size and comfortable to grasp. Like the KC200MX, there are several fashionable colors, and the bass is fretted, which is not disturbing. It is very suitable for us to use in the office.

4. Summary here

For the ever-changing CHERRY, the KC200 MX mechanical keyboard is actually a good product. Taking into account the fashion appearance, quality and feel, on the basis of retaining the CHERRY axis, it injects youthful vitality into the product and the brand at the same time! There are discounts for this Double Eleven issue, and I think it's worth starting to experience.

Choosing the Right Material for Your Ergonomic Keyboard: Considerations and Recommendations

When it comes to choosing the right material for your ergonomic keyboard, there are many considerations and recommendations to take into account. Ergonomic keyboards are designed to reduce strain and discomfort while typing, and the material they are made from can have a significant impact on their effectiveness. In this article, we will explore the most common materials used by ergonomic keyboard manufacturers and provide insights into the key factors to consider when choosing the right material for your needs.

One of the most common materials used by ergonomic keyboard manufacturers is plastic. Plastic is a versatile and affordable material that can be shaped and molded into a variety of ergonomic designs. However, not all plastics are created equal, and some may not offer the level of support and durability needed for an ergonomic keyboard. When considering a plastic ergonomic keyboard, it is important to look for high-quality, durable plastics that can withstand the rigors of daily use.

Another popular material used by ergonomic keyboard manufacturers is metal. Metal ergonomic keyboards are known for their durability and sturdiness, making them a popular choice for those who do a lot of typing. However, metal keyboards can also be heavy and may not be as comfortable to use for extended periods. It is important to consider the weight and feel of a metal ergonomic keyboard before making a purchase.

Some ergonomic keyboard manufacturers also use silicone and rubber materials in their designs. These materials are known for their soft and flexible properties, making them a comfortable choice for those who suffer from wrist and hand pain. Silicone and rubber keyboards may not offer the same level of durability as plastic or metal, but they can be a great option for those looking for a softer, more comfortable typing experience.

In addition to the materials used in the construction of ergonomic keyboards, it is also important to consider the design and layout of the keyboard. The angle and shape of the keys, as well as the overall layout of the keyboard, can have a significant impact on comfort and ergonomics. When choosing an ergonomic keyboard, look for designs that promote a natural and relaxed typing position, with keys that are easy to reach and use.

Ultimately, the right material for your ergonomic keyboard will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Consider factors such as durability, comfort, and typing experience when making your decision. Whether you prefer the durability of metal, the flexibility of rubber, or the affordability of plastic, there are many options available from ergonomic keyboard manufacturers to suit your needs.

In conclusion, choosing the right material for your ergonomic keyboard is an important decision that can have a significant impact on your typing experience. By considering the materials used by ergonomic keyboard manufacturers and evaluating your own needs and preferences, you can find the perfect ergonomic keyboard for your workspace. With the right material and design, you can enjoy a more comfortable and productive typing experience while reducing strain and discomfort on your wrists and hands.
