As early as more than a month ago, I was itchy for the design of the touch light bar of ASUS's player country wizard NX, because it was out of stock, and I haven't used it since I waited for almost two months. Cool!

This article brings you an unboxing evaluation of this very distinctive small configuration keyboard. The advantages and disadvantages are truthfully explained. Welcome to pay attention, like and favorite.

Magician NX is a special keyboard, with 68-key arrangement + dual mode, which is very suitable for the small and beautiful desk preferences of current players.

The software layer uses the industry's top ASUS Armory Crate Ultron. The server has been well maintained and can be installed directly through the official website without card verification as before.

At that time, it was mainly for the SmartBar touch bar. Compared with the traditional knob design, this kind of touch side light bar is really cool, and it also supports custom functions. It can give full marks for its appearance and practicality. .

The axis body is ROG self-developed NX axis, which is manufactured by Kaihua. I talked to Kaihua before when I was bragging. I asked for the first time, and sure enough, the NX axis is this batch of customization.

NX has a total of three switch bodies available in Hawthorn Red, Glacier Blue and Mocha Brown, corresponding to the red switch, green switch and tea switch respectively. This time I got the Mocha Brown switch which tests the accuracy.

PS: I personally recommend that novice friends start with hawthorn red. After all, everyone can accept the linear axis of conventional weight, and some users may not be used to such large paragraphs of tea.

List the recommended ASUS family bucket hardware:

1️⃣
ASUS ROG Magician NX Dual Mode Mechanical Keyboard

Keywords: prodigal eye, touch side bar, ROG NX self-developed axis, Aura lighting effect

Introduction: This article is an evaluation product, so I won't repeat it.

2️⃣
ASUS ROG Moonblade Mouse

Keywords: cheap prodigal eyes, replaceable micro-movement, 16000DPI

Brief introduction: The Moonblade mouse of the prodigal eye drops 200 yuan, and you can have the blingbling belief lamp for 199 yuan, which is double full of faith and appearance. There are two versions of ROG Moonblade (wired version and wireless version), the difference lies in the equipment Weight, connection method and side buttons, the two side buttons of the wireless version are designed to be disassembled and replaced by yourself.

3️⃣
ASUS TUF Heavy Gunner B550M-WiFi Motherboard

Keywords: AM4 platform, WiFi6, cost performance

Brief introduction: The model that often engages in activities has an AX200 WiFi6 wireless network card onboard, and the original ASUS antenna is provided. The onboard interface includes DP+HDMI dual output that can be used for dual screens, plus a native full-speed USB3.2 Gen2 Type.

4️⃣
ASUS ROG AX6000 Router

Keywords: prodigal eyes, belief lights, dual 2.5G physical network ports, full blood 8 channels

Introduction: The strongest part of ASUS routers is the system. Whether it is driver tuning or plug-in optimization, it is top-notch. Whoever uses it will know. The supporting mobile phone terminal is also really easy to use. It has complete functions and supports remote access, which is also the top level in the industry.

Officially entering this unpacking, as a peripheral produced by Prodigal Eye, the packaging is full of the power of faith.

1️⃣
Smart Bar

The SmartBar (touch area) on the left is an exclusive design of ASUS. Compared with the mainstream physical knobs on the market, it has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is very annoying to display the function status through the light. I believe that no man can refuse the magic of RGB.

SmartBar is operated by touch (slide or click), and each section is designed with a physical protrusion, which can be sensed by touch alone. The default function is volume adjustment, and the driver software supports customization into zooming, multimedia control and other functions.

2️⃣
keyboard body

The keyboard body is arranged in a compact form. The number area, function area and most of the function keys are removed. The overall size is 305*101*38mm, which is very suitable for small desktop users.

The 68 configuration retains the frequently used buttons such as Pageup, Page Down, Delete, Insert and arrow keys. There is no problem with programming, copywriting and games, and it can also leave a relatively large operating space for the mouse.

Another thing I like about the Magician NX is the structure. The design of the bottom shell is between the hull and the suspension. The height is relatively comfortable and the overall lightness is relatively light, which is very convenient to carry and use.

The 2.4G receiver is designed on the top of the keyboard and is magnetically attached to the slot. The Type-C interface and independent power switch are also here.

3️⃣
Use shaft

The main body of Magician NX is manufactured by Kaihua. The upper cover and the base are all Crystal series shafts. The high-transparency material is used on the shaft body. With PCB patch lights, the actual light not only has a positive color value, but also has a brighter brightness than ordinary black and white shells. The shell is much taller.

As a traditional MX structure shaft body, the actual feel of the Mocha brown shaft is quite clear, and there is no particularly obvious skewed shaft. The only disadvantage is that there will be a slight spring sound when it touches the bottom. Lubricate the spring on the shaft.

What I don't quite understand is the big key. In fact, the Kaihua satellite axis is quite good. I don't know why I chose the balance bar solution. The noise is slightly loud when inputting, which is a pity.

4️⃣
keycap height

Magician NX is a compact keyboard. Functions such as F1~F12 need to be operated with Fn+ designated key combination, so the function label is marked on the side of the keycap, so you can understand how to operate without reading the manual.

Keycap The material of the keycap is PBT, which is not easy to oil. The surface of the keycap has been treated to increase the damping. Friends who like high-speed input will definitely like it very much. Ergonomic design.

If you feel that the input height is not suitable enough, you can increase the keyboard angle by opening the bottom feet, or you can add a dust cover to the bottom if you feel that it is too low.

5️⃣
lighting effects

Lighting effects are ASUS' forte. After all, Aura is one of the top lighting effects, and the light-transmitting area of ​​the keycap is also very light-transmitting. For details, please refer to the picture below.

Magician NX has a built-in battery capacity of 4000 mAh with a small ceiling capacity. Compared with Bluetooth, 2.4G connection will save a lot of power. In wireless mode, the light is turned on and used normally once a week. Anyway, it is a dual-mode keyboard, and the battery is too low to connect Type -C just use and charge at the same time.

6️⃣
Packaging accessories

The package includes the keyboard body, dust cover, custom Type-C data cable, C-to-A adapter, faith stickers and instructions, and there are not many accessories.

The dust cover is more interesting. The front adopts a gun-gray metal brushed design. The big eyes mark the lineage of the Sorcerer NX. The Logo will change with the light under the light.

In addition to the protection of the keyboard, the dust cover can be placed at the bottom of the keyboard to increase the height when typing, and the side see-through design can also diffuse the SMD light, making the light softer.

If you are an ASUS family barrel user, the control is easier. With Armory Crate, you can control all devices to synchronize the lighting effects, so that the device lights on the entire desktop can be synchronized.

When a new device is connected for the first time, it may prompt to update the keyboard firmware. It needs to be connected at the same time and the 2.4G receiver is connected to the computer to operate.

1️⃣
touch operation

The operation of Armory Crate is quite simple. You can customize other functions for a button according to the prompts, and just follow the prompts to configure the mouse.

SmartBar supports five custom operations, which can be called a productivity artifact. The light definition of the side light bar can also be set on the same page, and the default is to display the power.

2️⃣
Lighting modification

Even if you don’t use Altron, you can switch the lighting effect mode through the combination of Fn + direction shortcut keys. If you want to adjust high-level parameters such as brightness, color value, and change direction, you can only change it through the driver.

If you want to configure lighting effects with the motherboard as the core, you can choose to enable Aura synchronization, and then modify it through Aura Creator. Music rhythm, temperature display, etc. can be configured with one click.

A brief summary for friends who have pulled to the end:

1. The touch light bar SmartBar on the side is very eye-catching, and the actual operation is also very smooth, taking into account the appearance and practicality.

2. As a peripheral produced by ROG, there is nothing to say about the appearance design and lighting effect, just be handsome.

3. The NX axis has a very high definition of the actual knocking feeling, and it is absolutely top-notch among the cross-structure axes.

4. Since the shaft body is not factory-lubricated, the large key also uses a balance bar scheme, and there will be some noise when inputting. Friends with strong hands-on ability can lubricate it by themselves.

Recently, I have become a little obsessed with mechanical keyboards. If it weren't for the keycaps given by Aunt Zhang, I always feel that they can't be used as decorations, and I must make the best use of them.

Aunt Zhang's keycap

However, I found out why the current mechanical keyboards are so expensive. Looking back, the keyboard I bought really didn’t exceed 70 yuan. Now, a random cherry switch costs 200 or 300 yuan, and there are even more expensive ones, which are too inconsistent with my values. , It seems that picking up garbage is a must. I went to Yellow Fish to look for second-hand ones. I didn’t expect that there are piles of blind box keyboards. They don’t guarantee anything, but they are cheap. It seems that picking up garbage is a must.

As a novice, the target keyboard: 1. Bluetooth wired dual-mode; 2. Cherry switch; 3. With light; 4. Cheap. After much effort, I found this:

rk61 dual mode missing keycap

28 yuan free shipping

Product introduction: 1. The label on the back is 20/21; 2. The interface is type-c; 3. Although the keycap is missing, it is still engraved on the side of pbt, the quality is good, and it is removed for use; 4. Cherry tea switch , feels good, in line with expectations; 5, 28 yuan free shipping, cheap, this blind box is worth opening
。

After placing an order and buying it, I opened the blind box and plugged in the data cable directly. When I heard the sound of "ding dong" coming from the speaker, the keyboard light turned on instantly, and I was secretly happy "recognized"
. Then immediately use the keyboard software to test the keys, and when I hear the key trigger sound from the speaker, I am secretly happy
, only 5 keys were not triggered from the beginning to the end. Then I tried bluetooth again and it was ok.
, I feel that one word is "value"
。

It's time to take on the challenge of repairing the 5 key. I disassembled the keyboard to see that the welding pins have not been touched, and then removed the keycap and pressed it hard and found that it can be triggered, but after installing the keycap, I can’t press it all the way, so it can’t be triggered. It seems that the only thing to do is to remove the shaft. (Note: In fact, I have already paid the tuition fee before, it is just a reckless desoldering, but fortunately I am practicing)

Electric heating dual-purpose tin suction device

24 yuan to get it, the brand is a bit expensive






The magic tool is the electric heating dual-purpose tin suction device. I bought it from Guangzhou Huanghua Electronics for 24 yuan. After it is directly heated to the tin, it is directly on the contact feet. After the tin is melted, the tin can be sucked up by pressing it, but the suction is not strong. , One of the tentacles of the lamp was re-welded and then sucked again before the tin was sucked clean. After the shaft is removed, it is the open shaft.

After opening the shaft, it was found that the copper sheet was slightly deformed, which caused the copper sheet to fail to close after the button was pressed. I took the tweezers and tried it with an electric pen. It was connected smoothly, and then I pressed the keyboard back to test.
, perfect repair (for Xiaobai secretly happy
). Next, use the pbt coral sea keycaps that you bought on Pinduoduo for 34 yuan.

A new look for the keyboard

Summary: 34 yuan keycap plus 28 yuan keyboard (the keycap is more expensive than the keyboard
), the rk brand bluetooth dual-mode within two years, cherry tea shaft, feels good (experienced by Xiaobai), I don’t know if it’s worth it.

The current keyboard has become affordable, and with the manufacturer's roll, you can buy a good mechanical keyboard for a few hundred dollars. No matter what shape or hardware solution, you can use it for basic input. The key is whether it can meet your needs. Special needs.

The KU102 just released by Lulian can be regarded as one of the representatives of the fine design of the keyboard. There is no standard product for the compact short switch with a price of less than 300 yuan. This article will show you whether this keyboard is suitable for you. I think it is helpful. Welcome to follow, like and collect Sanlianha.

Before officially opening the box, let me briefly introduce the special features and adaptation environment of this keyboard.

Tucao: I don’t understand what the name KU102 is based on. The normal numbers correspond to the columns, and this keyboard is not 102 keys. . . .

1️⃣
special arrangement

Lulian KU102 is an 80% compact keyboard with 89 keys. Compared with the traditional 87-key layout, the key spacing is more compact. Shorter and shorter.

Compared with the traditional 87-key arrangement, the two extra keys on the Greenlink KU102 are screenshot and emoticon keys. The screenshot key is different from the PrtSc key. It calls the screenshot tool instead of grabbing the global screen, which is quite suitable for chat parties. practical.

In addition, KU102 has an independent Mac mode switching switch, and at the same time, it comes with supplementary keycaps for Mac, which is more conscientious.

2️⃣
custom shaft

Lulian KU102 officially announced that it uses the Goto LP short shaft. After searching, I couldn’t find the specific parameter information of this shaft. In theory, it is a customized version of Goto’s circlip mechanical shaft, because it is not consistent with the official data. superior.

The LP shaft body used by Lulian is not a series, only one type is available, although the official did not say specifically, according to the actual measurement, it is a large paragraph type of tea shaft, but the total stroke is lengthened to 3.5mm, and the trigger pressure is heavy. The actual measurement should still be 50g, the trigger stroke is still 1.2mm, and the second half stroke is relatively long.

3️⃣
Applicable scene

To sum up, Greenlink KU102 is suitable for two scenarios:

The first is the mobile office environment, as you can see from the picture below, the length is about the same as the MBP, and the thickness is not bad, it does not take up space in the bag, it supports wireless connection and prevents the problem of wire entanglement, users who often need to work with a laptop convenient.

The second is chatting and typing madness. The key travel of the short switch is much shorter than that of the conventional MX switch, which can reduce the fatigue caused by long-term continuous input. At the same time, the extra screenshot keys and expression keys are also more practical.

As a dual-mode keyboard with a price within 300 yuan, the packaging of Lulian KU102 is quite unique, and the outsourcing material and structural strength are quite high, which can prevent the damage caused by transportation.

Accessories include keyboard body*1, liquid silicone material Type-C cable*1, cap puller*1 and six Mac supplementary keycaps, which Apple users can replace by themselves.

The overall color scheme of the keyboard adopts a more attractive blue-gray color scheme. The keycaps of special keys are distinguished by dark blue and white, and there is a more eye-catching status indicator light in the upper left corner.

As a compact low-axis keyboard, Lulian KU102 has a smaller design, with a length, width and height of 323.1*116.7*mm. You can see the comparison with the Macbook in the figure below.

In terms of ergonomics, the KU102 does not use an independent adjustable foot support, but a 6° pad design for the top of the bottom case, and cooperates with the thin keycaps of the above-mentioned OEMs to ensure portability and improve the Entering comfort.

In addition to the main keypad, Greenlink KU102 has a physical switch on the top, which can be turned on by toggling the selection system in the wireless state. The built-in battery capacity is not large, only 1800 mAh. 150 hours theoretical battery life.

In addition to supporting Windows and Mac systems, Linux and Android are also free to use. There is a Type-C port on the side of the switch for direct connection + charging. There is no problem with my own aviation plug-in test.

The PCB of Lulian KU102 has a patch lamp design. Currently, only monochromatic white light is available, which is definitely enough for nighttime use.

Since the shading powder is relatively thick, the actual contact feeling of this set of keycaps is relatively smooth, and it is not dazzling when used. I personally like this type of keycaps, but it is a bit greasy after using it. I can only say that there are gains and losses. Now The keycaps are also cheap, so it’s not a big problem to buy a set for yourself.

In addition to the fixed function keys on the right, press and hold Fn + fixed keys to adjust the brightness of the display, switch software windows and other functions. There are graphical labels on the keycaps, and you can know the corresponding functions of the combination keys without reading the manual.

As mentioned above on the switch body, the high-specification LP switch body is used, and the type is a tea switch with a larger trigger weight. What is more surprising is that the satellite switch is used at this price, and the feel is slightly larger than some. The low-axis keyboard with a balance bar is too comfortable.

I need to remind everyone that the LP switch body uses a dust-proof cross-axis. When changing the keycaps, it is best to ask the customer service whether it is compatible, otherwise there may be embarrassment of bursting chrysanthemums.

Choosing the high-tech solution means a good feel and cost-effectiveness, but it is inevitable that the ancestral spring sound, both the main key and the large key, there is a live video below, friends who are more concerned about the quiet environment consider it for themselves.

Tested the connection with the Macbook, long press the Fn+Q key to search for the notebook, click on the connection and follow the system prompts to enter the identification to complete the pairing, the stability is still good, the mobile keyboard within five square meters did not appear to be disconnected.

The actual measurement of the screenshot key can take effect correctly, and in the browser state, it triggers to save the webpage.

Then test the function of the Fn key combination, and the functions of mute, volume adjustment and song switching are also correct and effective, and Apple users can start with peace of mind.

A keyboard review without a live record is incomplete, here is a real shot for your reference.

List the relevant equipment, if you are interested, you can take a look.

1️⃣
Lulian KU102 dual-mode mechanical keyboard

Introduction: This article is an evaluation product, so I won't repeat it.

2️⃣
Lvlian Lightning π fast charging head

Introduction: Notebook users are advised to bring a Lightning π Kuai at hand, which is nearly a quarter smaller than the 140W head sold by Apple, and it has folding pins, which is easy to put in the bag, does not take up space and does not scratch items. The actual measurement charges MacbookPro and Redmi K20Pro at the same time (double C), and the phone is almost fully charged in less than 10 minutes, and it is only slightly warm to the touch.

3️⃣
Lvlian MU001 dual-mode mouse

Introduction: If you choose a low-axis keyboard, you must like thinner peripherals. You can consider the MU001 currently on sale in Greenlink. The size is 109*62*30mm, which is not stressful to put in the bag. It also supports Bluetooth and 2.4G connections. , The theoretical battery life of a single AA battery can last for 12 months, which is very good for office use.

Summarize for friends who have pulled to the end:

Environmental adaptation, Greenlink KU102 is an 89-key compact low-axis keyboard with 80% configuration. There is currently no competing product of the same type at the same price. It is more targeted and suitable for notebook users with mobile office needs. The screenshot key and expression key Also more creative.

For the hardware solution, the shaft body uses the high-tech LP custom-made short shaft (circlip structure), and the structure is a brown shaft with a large paragraph. Since the 3.5mm short thread is here, it can not only retain the trigger feeling of the paragraph, but also reduce the continuous input. Fatigue, the big key is the satellite axis.

The actual shortcomings, the biggest problem is the ancestral spring sound of Goto. In addition, there are no additional functions such as RGB lights and custom drivers. Considering the price of 300 yuan, you really can’t ask for too much.

Generally speaking, if you want to buy a low-priced short-axis keyboard, Lulian KU102 is a good choice.

I have been thinking about using a mechanical keyboard, but I have not been able to achieve it.

Recently saw this Acer keypad, the price is not bad,

Just got one!

I have been in touch with Acer's keyboard for a long time. At that time, I used a membrane keyboard.

The quality is good, and I have been using membrane keyboards since then, and I want to try mechanical keyboards after a long time.

But the mechanical keyboard feels very expensive! The price is high!

Then slowly forget about it.

Some time ago, I saw a friend broke the news about this keyboard, and found that it is from Acer, and the price is not bad, and the appearance is also in my favor.

Just got one!

This keyboard is made of brown switches, weighs one and a half catties, and is an 87-key small keyboard.

Compared with the Shuangfeiyan membrane keyboard I use now, this small keyboard is slightly heavier.

The first time you get started on the keys, it feels much stronger than the membrane keyboard. But the overall feeling is not bad!

The appearance is really good, and the blue and white color scheme is amazing!

The hand feel still needs to get used to, but it is enough for daily typing. By the way, the workmanship is really good!

However, over time, individual keys may become worn out or damaged, warranting a replacement. In this article, we will delve into the step-by-step process of installing a new key on your OEM mechanical keyboard, brought to you by Keyceo Tech.
Step 1: Gathering the Necessary Tools:
Before initiating the replacement process, it is essential to gather the required tools. The tools generally needed for key installation include a keycap puller, which safely removes the existing keycap from the keyboard, and a new keycap that matches the layout and design of your existing mechanical keyboard.
Step 2: Removing the Old Keycap:
To remove the old keycap, begin by gently inserting the keycap puller under one corner of the keycap. Apply balanced pressure until the keycap slightly pops out. Repeat this step for the other corners until the keycap is loosened. Then, carefully pull up the keycap to fully remove it from the stem.
Step 3: Inspecting and Cleaning:
After removing the old keycap, take a moment to inspect the stem underneath for any residue or debris. Use a soft cloth or compressed air to clean the stem thoroughly, ensuring its pristine condition. This step guarantees easy installation of the new keycap and smooth functionality.
Step 4: Aligning the New Keycap:
Now that the stem is clean, place the new keycap over the stem, ensuring it is aligned correctly. The keycap should fit snugly and evenly without any obstruction. Take a moment to examine the orientation and alignment before proceeding further.
Step 5: Pressing the Keycap into Place:
Apply gentle but firm pressure on the center of the new keycap, pushing it firmly onto the stem until it clicks into place. Ensure that all edges sit flush with the keyboard surface for an optimal and visually appealing installation. Test the key by pressing it a few times to confirm its stability and functionality.
Step 6: Repeat the Process:
If multiple keys need replacement, repeat Steps 2 to 5 with each keycap until all the desired keys are successfully installed. Take this opportunity to examine the overall appearance and functionality of your mechanical keyboard, ensuring a consistent and hassle-free typing experience.
Installing a new keycap on your OEM mechanical keyboard is a simple process that can enhance your overall typing or gaming experience. With the help of Keyceo Tech's detailed guide, you can effortlessly replace worn-out or damaged keys, ensuring the longevity and performance of your mechanical keyboard.

However, over time, the keys on these keyboards may start to wear out or become unresponsive, requiring replacement. In this article, we will delve into the essential tips for maintaining and extending the lifespan of key switches in OEM mechanical keyboards, with a focus on our brand Keyceo Tech.
Understanding OEM Mechanical Keyboards:
OEM mechanical keyboards, such as those manufactured by Keyceo Tech, are renowned for their high-quality components and excellent performance. These keyboards utilize key switches, which are responsible for registering key presses. Key switches are available in various types, including the popular Cherry MX, Kailh, and Gateron switches, each offering different characteristics and key feel.
1. Cleaning and Dust Prevention:
Regular cleaning is crucial to maintaining the longevity of key switches. Dust particles and debris can accumulate within the switches, leading to the keys becoming sticky or unresponsive. To clean the keyboard, turn it off, unplug it, and gently remove the keycaps using a keycap puller or by carefully prying them off with your fingers. Use compressed air or a soft brush to clean the switch housing, removing any dirt or dust. Avoid using liquids or excessive force during the cleaning process.
2. Keycap Maintenance:
Proper maintenance of keycaps is equally important to ensure the longevity of key switches. Avoid exposing the keycaps to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can cause discoloration or warping. Additionally, using abrasive materials or harsh cleaning agents can damage the keycaps' surface, compromising their appearance and functionality. Instead, gently wipe the keycaps with a soft cloth and mildly soapy water for effective cleaning.
3. Switch Replacement:
Despite careful maintenance, it may occasionally be necessary to replace a key switch in your OEM mechanical keyboard. Keyceo Tech offers conveniently replaceable key switches, allowing users to easily replace a single faulty switch instead of the entire keyboard. To replace a key switch, follow these steps:
i. Identify the faulty key switch by observing its unresponsiveness, stickiness, or irregular keypress behavior.
ii. Obtain a replacement key switch compatible with your Keyceo keyboard model.
iii. Turn off the keyboard, unplug it, and remove the keycap of the malfunctioning key.
iv. Using a suitable tool, such as a switch puller or tweezers, gently remove the faulty key switch.
v. Insert the replacement key switch into the respective switch socket, ensuring it is aligned correctly.
vi. Reattach the keycap and test the functionality of the newly replaced key switch.
4. Proper Keyboard Usage:
Adopting appropriate typing techniques and gaming practices can significantly contribute to the extended life of key switches. Avoid excessive force while pressing keys and consider using a wrist rest to maintain a comfortable typing position. Additionally, refrain from eating or drinking near the keyboard to minimize the risk of spills.
Maintaining and extending the lifespan of key switches in OEM mechanical keyboards is essential to preserve their performance and functionality.
