Why Should I Buy staples wired keyboard?It is the simplest form of typography that has been used in human beings for thousands of years. The use of it is a way of sa...

Hello everyone, I am Yui Yuya Hirasawa Yui.

Today, let’s talk about a keyboard I bought recently: Belly CMK 87.

In addition to products, I would like to talk about my views and some opinions on the entire category of domestic customized keyboards.

Buying CMK87 is largely because of the appearance.

It's not that the CMK87 is so good-looking, it's just that I'm not interested in other 87-equipped keyboards at this price. The appearance of CMK87 is barely acceptable to me after looking around.

My requirements for the appearance of the keyboard are very simple, as far as possible, the front should be a solid color without other elements.

I don't like the embellishment of the metal block on the side. If the keyboard frame is a solid color, I would prefer it.

When choosing a shaft, looking at the shafts on the details page, I struggled for a long time whether it was a cotton candy shaft, an ice cream shaft, or an ice mint shaft.

Now there are too many types of keyboard switches, and it is impossible to distinguish and classify them simply like black, red, tea and green in previous years.

I even think that there are too many types of shafts now. Some time ago, I saw Rem shafts, Ram shafts, and knight shafts. Is this going to harvest the two-spined salamander?

Some manufacturers even change the color of the old switch body and sell it as a new switch. Some keyboard UP videos also emphasize that this is a civilian color-changed version of a high-end switch.

I think this kind of market is too chaotic, which greatly increases the purchase threshold for users.

Even I, who has used eight or nine keyboards, can't judge which axis is suitable for me from the details page. It is even more difficult for ordinary users who have not had much contact with the keyboard.

There are not many surprises in the hand feel, which belongs to the performance and quality that should be at this price. The big keys that keyboard bloggers are blowing, I don't think they are too bright.

If the keyboard of 400 yuan is 80 points, then CMK87 is 90 points.

A little better, but not by much.

The avocado shaft gives me the feeling that it is very soft and elastic, and the shaft body will be triggered with a little force.

When I write articles and think, I will habitually put my hands on the keyboard. In the first few days when I first started, I often touched it by mistake because the trigger pressure was too light.

I was pleasantly surprised by the sound performance. I don’t know if you have heard that kind of particularly expensive customized keyboard sound. The sound of CMK87 is very similar to that kind of keyboard. Da da da sounds like a high-end taste.

Next, let's talk about what I am not satisfied with this keyboard.

How much did CMK87 sacrifice for "feel" and "sound"?

The first sacrifice is the keyboard backlight.

Whether there is a keyboard backlight has a great impact on the user experience. Although the CMK87 supports RGB backlight, there is no difference between the backlight on and off because of the switch body and keycaps.

Even if you adjust the brightness of the backlight to the maximum gear, you can only see a little bit through the gap of the keycap.

This is the effect of the blue backlight with the lights turned off. For comparison, you can look at the lighting effect of the ROG Ranger NX above.

The blue backlight is actually the most conspicuous color. If you change the backlight color to red or other darker colors, then the backlight of CMK87 is really better than not turned on, which will increase power consumption.

If the backlight problem of CMK87 can be saved, after all, the lamp beads and drivers are ready-made and can be solved by replacing the transparent shaft and transparent keycap.

The wireless experience of CMK87 really cannot be saved.

First of all, let’s talk about battery life. The battery life of domestic keyboards has not been very good. What's more, the CMK87 only has a battery capacity of 2000mah inside, and the battery life will definitely be greatly reduced.

I also had a psychological expectation when I bought it. In actual use, I have to charge it once every two days on average, which makes me feel lonely because of the wireless.

Except for a fresh use of wireless in the first few days when I got it, I plugged in the cable for the rest of the time.

By the way, it does not have a storage slot for the 2.4G receiver.

Maybe the manufacturer thinks that no one will take out the 1.6 kg keyboard, or it may be because they know how bad their wireless is and know that no one will use it.

Speaking of cable, the cable sent by CMK87 made me feel very complicated.

This line looks very much like a very soft paracord, but in fact it is far less soft than a paracord.

The CMK87 line is to make the sheath of the braided line into the appearance of a paracord, and you can clearly feel the core of the line when you touch it.

However, the wire of CMK87 is softer than common braided wires, and the hardness is between paracord and braided wires.

Why can't it be a serious paracord? If you want to do this kind of thing that doesn't have umbrella weaving or weaving, isn't the paracord cost very high?

I don't understand.

Finally, disassemble the machine and look at the materials.

Open the keyboard and you can see the ultra-thick silicone pad, which is one of the reasons why this keyboard weighs 1.6 kg.

The keyboard structure is:

keycap

cover

Shaft

metal positioning plate

Silicone pad under shaft

PCB

Extra thick silicone pad

Bottom case

The upper cover is a double-layer design, and the two upper covers are connected by multiple snaps, and it is not recommended to disassemble.

The battery consists of two small 1000mah batteries with a total capacity of 2000Mah. The manufacturer is unknown.

The interface on the PCB board has sealant and a battery holder.

As mentioned above, the battery life is poor.

The shaft seat is from Kaihua, and the silk screen 4056 below is a power management IC, and the supplier is unknown.

The keyboard IC is from Weisheng Semiconductor, the model number is crossed out by Fuling, and it can be vaguely seen as VS11K09A.

I don't know why Fu Ling did this, but generally speaking, the scratched IC is usually a good product or a defective product.

The wireless module comes from Broadcom integration, 32-bit microcontroller, 160KB ROM, 20KB RAM.

Supports Bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4G connections, without any low-latency protocols.

The actual performance is barely usable, and occasionally there will be missing words.

I am actually not very satisfied with this keyboard, neither the workmanship nor the wireless experience can meet my requirements for this price.

If you only talk about a single template, CMK87 is a good keyboard.

Although the single-mode backlight is the same, the feel and sound of the keyboard are remarkable at the same price.

There is a price difference of 200 yuan between the single-mode version and the three-mode version of CMK87. 200 yuan in exchange for such a wireless experience, I don't think it's worth it.

But is the wireless problem a problem with the CMK 87 keyboard?

From my experience with so many domestic keyboards, obviously not.

Perhaps the significance of wireless for keyboards is not as great as that of mice and earphones, so now the wireless of domestic keyboards is only usable.

Manufacturers are more willing to spend more research and development funds and materials on the shaft body and sound-absorbing structure, because it is easier for consumers to perceive and the related research and development costs are lower.

Now domestic keyboards at mainstream prices are rolling in various noise reduction and feel. Everyone is using more expensive shafts, better sound-absorbing materials. Let the product feel better and better, and the sound is better and better.

It's not that I don't like this, I also hope that my keyboard feels and sounds better.

But for a peripheral, I also hope that its wireless experience can be the same as that of a mouse and a headset: long battery life, low latency, and high stability.

I hope that domestic manufacturers can roll a roll of wireless experience after finishing the sound-cancellation and feel.

I'm Yui Yuzai Yui Hirasawa, see you in the next article.

Thanks to Digital Tail for the Chinese New Year gift!

start again

Mileage start again
: Waiting for the spring of 2023 to bloom, drive a car, bring your family, and take a long-lost journey.

creative start again
: From long articles to short articles, from text-based to image-based, insist on creating and sharing better content.

Let’s take a look at what this New Year’s gift pack contains:

① James Donkey A3 mechanical keyboard (white switch);

② Kensington ProFit ergonomic wireless mouse;

③ Lightning Retro 35W retro trendy charging head;

④ Baseus CW01 Magnetic Wireless Charging Car Holder;

⑤ Baseus Car Aroma Diffuser with Floating Aroma Press and Controlling Aroma;

Five products, two major categories, from digital to cars, talk about life.

Regardless of whether the car is good or bad, cars can indeed expand the radius of our lives and add a lot of fun to life.

I don't know if you, like me, enjoy the feeling of driving on the highway, and you can use this time to concentrate on thinking about things, things that you usually don't think about.

As an old Korean car that has been in service for more than six years, although there are some minor problems, in general, it is not bad after more than six years of use. At the same time, it has also witnessed us from a family of two to a family of three, and also become an important member of the family.

As a family member, keeping the car clean has become a parent-child activity for my daughter and me, especially in summer, when my daughter and I clean the car from the inside to the outside together, fun and achievements arise spontaneously. Of course I was washing the car and she was playing with the water. The two in-vehicle items of Baseus this time add some fun to the old car.

Let’s talk about the Baseus CW01 Magnetic Wireless Charging Car Mount first. Although I am also an old driver for many years, I rely on navigation to go out! The Baseus car mount supports MagSafe charging, 15W wireless charging, and the adsorption effect is strong enough. A magnetic ring is also provided with the package, so that mobile phones without magnetic functions can also be used.

It is worth mentioning that the Baseus car charger is also equipped with a physical switch, which can control whether to charge and better protect the battery.

Let’s talk about the Baseus Floating Fragrance Press Control Car Aroma Diffuser, which uses physical manual pressure to control the concentration of the aroma in the car according to your preferences. This time I experienced the white peach flavor, which is well integrated with the fruit aroma. Whether it is used in the car or at home, it is a good choice.

If you are worried about taking up a water cup, you can put it in the storage bag of the rear seat.

Regarding the car experience, it can be summed up in one sentence:

Strength is better than word of mouth on the Internet! So learn to "listen and understand"!

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools!

In addition to fun, a good environment can double the efficiency! It's one of the reasons I've been upgrading my digital desk.

My first mechanical keyboard: Filco Minila Air, let me find the pleasure of typing; and this time, James Donkey A3 made me rethink and start again about creation.

I have to say that the mechanical keyboard has helped me find the joy of sharing text content to a great extent. I have experienced several keyboards before and after, but this time the James Donkey A3 mechanical keyboard brought me an unexpected experience.

Appearance: The appearance of the keyboard adopts retro design, two-color color matching, it would be better if there is less red; I won’t say more about the parameters.

The focus is on the feel. The sound-absorbing + shock-absorbing design is adopted to improve the typing experience of traditional mechanical keyboards. This typing feel has become my favorite.

As a user who has used an ergonomic mouse for a long time, the ergonomic mouse can alleviate the "mouse hand" to a certain extent. The Kensington Ergonomic Wireless Mouse provides a higher grip that feels more natural on the wrist. Recently, I prefer light colors. The gray and white color scheme is my favorite, and it also matches the retro keyboard.

However, compared with my current Logic MX Master 2S, the crispness of tapping and the experience of scrolling wheels are still worse.

Finally, let’s talk about the Flash Retro 35W Retro Trendy Game Charger. In terms of appearance, I have already been impressed. The classic retro computer design can be used as a desktop decoration. Small in size, equipped with a smiling face, with different color displays, you can quickly grasp the charging status. 35W power, in addition to mobile phones, thin and light notebooks are not a problem.

The only problem now is that I'm a bit reluctant to use it.

Last but not least, there are photos taken by everyone on the blessing card that comes with the gift! From this point, we can see the degree of hard work of the digital tail editor, thank you.

Continuous content sharing is not an easy task.

But the fun can only be experienced if you persist.

So here is more gratitude, not complaints!

I am working hard to become a slash youth!

In 2023, let's start again together!

Above, I am Papa Maidou, a creator who likes to speak with pictures!

It is not easy to write a manuscript, I sincerely ask for likes, reposts, and comments, thank you very much!

Everyone roar, the jellyfish meets you again.

SKYLOONG, as a new brand of domestic peripherals, has won the attention and favor of many users with its innovative "LiteGasket" keyboard products. Some time ago, SKYLOONG launched a new GK7 mechanical keyboard, using its own "LiteGasket" mechanical keyboard. LiteGasket" structure scheme, 75% arrangement, built-in knob, customized fast optical axis V3, support for hot swap, support for custom lighting, etc., the price only needs to be in the early 300s, and the price/performance ratio can be said to be very high. Next, let's take a look at this "Volume King" mechanical keyboard with the jellyfish.

In terms of packaging, the overall feeling is very watery, giving people a cyberpunk style of Night City. 75% means that this keyboard is equipped with 75, and the upper right corner of the packaging is also printed with a pattern of glacier light shafts.

The product model, keycap, switch body and shell style are posted on the side of the box. The jellyfish chose the Quicksilver V3 optical switch.

Open the package, you can see the instruction manual and after-sales warranty card; accessories are also very rich, including a keyboard dust cover, two packs of keycap supplementary packs, a USB-C data cable, and a key puller + shaft puller It can be seen from the accessories that this keyboard provides a wealth of DIY gameplay.

The accompanying keycap supplement pack is quite exaggerated, covering almost all keycaps of reverse color and full size.

The SKYLOONG GK75 mechanical keyboard adopts the very popular 75% arrangement scheme with knobs in the past two years. On the basis of the 65% arrangement scheme, the F area is added to maintain a small size while adding a certain degree of practicality.

The black transparent upper and lower shells are matched with deep space blue powder keycaps, and the overall appearance is very good. The size of 326mm×144mm×44mm is also very friendly to players with tight desktop space. The black shell can vaguely see the internal structure, adding a sense of technology to the keyboard.

In addition, there is also a knob on the upper right corner of the keyboard. The knob is made of aluminum alloy CNC technology. In the default mode, the left side is the volume -, and the right side is the volume +. Press it to enter the mute mode; There are three function keys and an independent direction keypad.

The keyboard adopts a micro-curved ergonomic design with a low bottom and a high keyboard, which reduces the fatigue of long-term gaming and coding.

Although the SKYLOONG GK75 mechanical keyboard is positioned as a gaming keyboard, it is adapted to the macOS system, and the keycaps also have macOS side engraved characters. You can directly switch to the Mac layout by pressing FN+7. For dual systems or multiple systems It is very convenient for friends who switch between computers.

The back of the keyboard still continues the simple design style. The four corners provide long strip-shaped non-slip foot pads, which can have a good anti-slip effect when placed on the table. The two-stage foot support is suitable for different groups of people. Find the most comfortable state of use.

The keyboard is connected by the USB-C interface, which supports the separation of key lines and three-way outlet design, and the length of the wire reaches 1.5 meters.

Glacier Optical Axis Kuaiyin V3 is a linear axis body. It has a short trigger stroke, light touch, uniform force, long-term use without fatigue, and multi-purpose such as gaming and typing. Of course, the most worth mentioning is this SKYLOONG The GK75 mechanical keyboard is equipped with LITE GASKET patented technology, which is a new type of GASKET structure. It is fixed through the soft connection of the gasket to make the feel and pressing performance soft and elastic, and can effectively reduce the noise of the cavity. It adopts a flat integrated manufacturing process. , the structure is more stable, while the touch is soft, it is not as noisy as traditional mechanical keyboards.

The keycaps use two-color injection molded PBT keycaps, which do not support character transmission. The overall workmanship of the keycap is fine, and there are no problems such as spouts and burrs. The PTB material is not easy to be stained with fingerprints and oil, has better wear resistance, and is not easy to scratch. In addition, the SKYLOONG GK75 mechanical keyboard also comes with an additional set of supplementary keycaps as a replacement or personalized replacement.

The keyboard has built-in a variety of RGB lighting effect modes. With the combination of FN keys, the lighting effect can be turned on/off, lighting effect switching, brightness adjustment, dynamic speed adjustment and other functions. The lighting adjustment function is still very rich. However, due to the opaque keycaps and gold-plated positioning plate, it still has a certain impact on light scattering, but the gaps in the keycaps can be well filled by RGB lights, and it also provides good RGB lighting performance in dark light environments. .

In addition, there is no need to pay for the built-in game macro driver. It has a large number of built-in macro commands for different games, which is very suitable for friends who like to play games.

Thanks to the design of the self-developed optical shaft, in terms of the daily gaming experience, the touch is light and the response is fast. The trigger stroke is 1.2+-0.2mm, and the trigger pressure is around 50gf, which is very suitable for gamers. The shaking is small, and the overall experience is very close to the experience of a customized mechanical keyboard.

After using it for a while, the SKYLOONG GK75 mechanical key is worthy of being called the "Roll King" mechanical keyboard, with solid stacking and good appearance, as well as Lite Gasket structure, programmable knob, self-developed glacier optical axis, With RGB lighting effects, BPT keycaps and other configurations, at a price in the early 300s, this mechanical keyboard definitely brings a leapfrog experience!

Don’t walk away when you see this, everyone is welcome to pay attention to this jellyfish, the handsome little brother and the beautiful young lady are all paying attention~ You can receive my article push as soon as possible~ Welcome to reward coins, collect likes comments~
