As a gamer, it is very necessary to have a mechanical keyboard that you like very much in terms of appearance and style. After all, you will see it every day when you play games. Whenever you touch your favorite keyboard, it feels like a kind of soul communication.

Especially for many players, if they like a certain type of mechanical keyboard, they will feel very uncomfortable when using other keyboards. After getting used to the performance of a keyboard, there is another problem that bothers us, and that is the appearance.

Although the keyboard is indeed used, the idea of ​​yearning for beauty is eternal and true, but most of the mechanical keyboards are changed in several colors, and the scalability in terms of appearance is actually not strong. Like me, when I see a keyboard I like, I can't help but buy it. After I buy it, I basically use it a few times, and then I eat it.

In fact, there are many services for keyboard DIY, but the price is still a bit expensive, and most of them are for changing keycaps. For gamers, some friends like to use their favorite switches. Here I want to talk about them. , not all computer game players will choose black switches without thinking.

So is there a good keyboard, a colleague who can DIY replace the keycaps and switches by himself, and has given a variety of beautiful DIY solutions? Some time ago, I really found a product that not only has good performance, but also looks good. It is Luofei Xiaoqiao 68 three-mode mechanical keyboard. Now most of the keyboards still adopt the wired design scheme, followed by the Bluetooth connection. The TOUCH Xiaoqiao 68 three-mode mechanical keyboard adopts the wireless connection method of the 2.4G receiver. The desktop becomes cleaner.

These three connection modes can be switched automatically on Luofei TOUCH Xiaoqiao 68 three-mode mechanical keyboard, that is to say, in addition to ordinary desktop computers, any notebook, Apple Android mobile phone and ipad and other devices can be connected. connected. Then let’s talk about the appearance of a keyboard that everyone is more concerned about.

The characteristic of Luofei's product, and the biggest promotional selling point, is that it has a wide range of keycap group solutions for users, and each graphic is very beautiful and unique. Not to mention that I personally have a lot of cats at home, and I feel very healed when I see cats, so when I bought this keyboard, the pattern I used was "cute cats". As long as you log in to the Lofree Mini Program, there are various design plans in it. You may not have any plans, but you may have too many plans. As a consumer, you don’t know how to choose.

Many girls may have an idea at this time, that is, what should I do if I don't know how to pretend? I personally think that the operation process of this assembly can be understood as a fool's operation, which is very simple. After choosing the keycaps and shafts, open the package, you will find that the number of shafts is 71, and the extra 3 shafts are for consumers, in case they are accidentally lost, or damaged during the express delivery process. What should I do if I drop one or two.

After that, what we can see is the bottom plate theme of the keyboard, and then the 70 switches just now, and the keycaps with the patterns you choose yourself. What we have to do is to put the bottom plate on the table, and then insert the shafts one by one. Through the attached keyboard picture, or the picture we found on the applet, let these keycaps complete the matching work. The switch I personally choose is the G Yellow Pro switch. After all, it is used at work, and there are other colleagues around me. The sound of the paragraph switch will definitely affect other people's work.

The G-yellow Pro axis moves straight up and down. When typing while working, it feels silky smooth. The layout of 68 keys is definitely different from that of 100 and 104. It is difficult to show the expandability of key functions, but the basic needs of work or games can still be met. And compactness also has the advantages of compactness, especially for girls, who doesn't want to have a cute keyboard with a high value and a small size?

The TOUCH Xiaoqiao 68 three-mode mechanical keyboard is made of PBT material, and the surface will feel frosted. Even if it is tapped for a long time, there will be no oil on it. Luo Fei itself is a very focused on workmanship. A manufacturer, when I use their keycaps, there has never been a case of fading. The eternal appearance is the most beautiful, isn't it? Secondly, why does the TOUCH Xiaoqiao 68 three-mode mechanical keyboard have a warped word? In fact, you can also see from the side of the keyboard that it is indeed warped enough.

The 9° tilt design actually made me not very satisfied at the beginning, because I felt that I was not very used to typing, but after using it for a day, you will find that typing is indeed a little easier than usual, although other mechanical keyboards also have tilt. Design, but the tilt angle of this model will give you a feeling that you want to press the keycap when you are typing, and the keycap will wait for you below. This is the wonder of ergonomics. .

As I said before, the TOUCH Xiaoqiao 68 three-mode mechanical keyboard supports wired, Bluetooth 5.0, and wireless 2.4G operations. For this reason, it also provides corresponding accessories, a data cable with a USB Type-C interface, and three AA batteries. And a key puller. As for the 2.4G receiver, it is together with the battery compartment on the back of the keyboard. After use, it can be placed directly next to the battery compartment.

The advantage of a wired connection is that you don’t have to worry about battery life, but I personally think that the cleanliness of the desktop is the most important thing. If you use batteries, the life cycle of 3 batteries is about 3-4 weeks. Of course, this is also under high-intensity work. The battery life effect, basically prepare more batteries at home, it can be used for a long, long time.

Its button functions are not very expandable, but you can use the Fn button to match other cases to complete different case functions. Typically, Fn+1 is the F1 button, which can be used through the manual. The most reassuring thing for me is that the pattern of its keycaps is always updated, whether it is a man or a woman, you can find your favorite keycap style inside.

These keycaps are made with great care, not only the pattern has been changed, but also the style of the font has also been changed, the Roman pattern of the Pharaoh version, and the unique setting of the Enter key font. The only regret is that it does not support the backlight. In my opinion, it is not a pity. After all, they are all keyboard players. Who doesn’t have an ambient light? The most important thing is to experience the joy of DIY keyboard, isn't it?

Royal Ax Y98

Known from the R series, the Royal Axe brand, when the Y68 was released, the blogger commented on the website and said that if it comes out with the 98 series, I would consider buying one, but it didn’t take long for the Y98 to come out, so I pre-ordered and bought the Quicksilver version of the wanderer. No, the moment I opened the package, it entered my "not willing to sell" series~

Royal Ax Y98

In terms of packaging, Royal Ax placed the accessory box on both sides of the keyboard, which makes the packaging much longer than other 98 keyboards.

There are quite a lot of accessories, such as split shaft puller and key puller, dust cover, replaceable magnetic feet, and an additional set of pure transparent satellite shafts, 4 spare shafts (keyboard The same model) and a rubber spiral aviation plug-in cable (the cable has already been installed on the machine, I am too lazy to dismantle it, it is a spiral aviation plug-in cable of the same color made of rubber material, and the workmanship is not bad).

Accessories

There are two first-hand experiences. First, it is indeed much better than the R series in terms of workmanship and details. The accessories are exquisite and solid. Two, this product is so heavy! PS: The matching hand rest is a gift after the first purchase and confirmation of receipt. It feels good in the hand. It seems to be 39 or so much for a single sale. It is quite worth it~

Use with hand rest

Family Mode Switch

Y98 compacts the F area (I use less F area, and the OG80 in my hand is also a compact F area, so I don’t think there is any inconvenient place), freeing up space while maintaining 4 function keys. The mode switching lever is integrated into the keyboard. To be honest, it is just a decorative function for me. It looks good, and the metal texture is also slow, but after all, I don’t have a mac system device. If it is changed to a volume knob, it may be possible for me. More practical.

Compact F area

Most of the reason why the keyboard body is heavy is the metal decorative strips on both sides of the keyboard, which are very thick and have a sense of design. It will be more handsome if the long-term manufacturer provides separate decorative strips for players to match by themselves.

metal trim

The keycaps are black + gray OEM height keycaps. The workmanship of the keycaps is OK, the hand feels slightly frosted, the characters and patterns are clear, and there is no crooked or smudged printing, but a small number of keycaps have a small amount of burrs, which does not affect the use. Overall it's okay.

The RGB lighting effect can be said to be the brightest among the popular keyboards I have come into contact with. It is much brighter than the Dareu A98, A100, Heijue AK816Pro, Kezhi K75, Fuling FL980, and Dharma Shark K1 Pro. It is basically on the same level as the Fuling CMK98, and its brightness can even catch up with the transparent iqunix OG80, which has a proper light pollution. At the same time, it provides a lot of lighting effects, and you can also customize the lighting by driving, which is very playable.

First of all, this is a keyboard with a solid feel. This keyboard is fixed by more traditional screws, but the overall feel is consistent. The satellite axis has high precision and fits closely with the positioning board. The large keys feel and sound The performance is very good. With the configuration of sandwich cotton + bottom cotton, the noise control is also very good. Thanks to the good materials and the metal accessories on both sides, the keyboard feels really solid.

In terms of the shaft body, the Royal Axe Y98 adopts the V2 series shaft body newly released by TTC. The Kuaiyin V2 is smoother than the V1, the trigger is fast, and the rebound is strong. It is very fast and accurate when playing games. The pressure is slightly greater than the gold powder, so the false touches in the game are reduced. Whether typing or gaming, I personally prefer the feel of Kuaiyin. But this switch is not the so-called "HiFi switch" of the key ring. The sound performance is not the first echelon. The feel of the switch is greater than the sound.

TTC Quicksilver V2 Shaft

The keyboard switch is set on the top of the keyboard instead of the bottom, which greatly improves the operating experience. At the same time, a 2.4G storage slot is designed for easy storage. It is commendable that the receiver has its own style and LOGO, which is easy to distinguish from other devices. (I once complained about the identical receivers of Heijue and Fuling...)

Another point is that although it is very simple, it is very very very very very very very easy to use. The shaft of the Enter and plus sign in the keypad area is rotated by 90°. This small change greatly facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the shaft. I absolutely love this design! Give the designer 10,000 likes!

90° rotating shaft body

The operation of the magnetic suction foot support is very novel, with three heights, but I personally operate it on the mouse pad, especially when moving it, it is easy to rub off. I personally feel that the gimmick is more meaningful than the actual use. I feel that it is not as convenient to use as the traditional two-stage opening and closing foot support. .

Magnetic foot support

Top feel + unique design + solid materials + ingenious details = one step in place! If you are not a customized player, Royal Axe’s Y series can definitely be done in one step. If you encounter a good price of 500+, don’t hesitate, go for it!

The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL is an entry-level gaming keyboard with membrane keys that are not mechanical switches. It's a scaled-down version of the SteelSeries Apex 3, one of the few non-mechanical gaming keyboards in the TenKeyLess size, and since it doesn't have a keypad, it allows for extra room on the desk to move the mouse around. It’s also IP32 certified, which means you don’t have to worry about spilling it on your keyboard while watching a movie while drinking water. All keys are macro-programmable via the new SteelSeries GG software, and it has RGB backlighting, but instead of each key being individually backlit, it's divided into several zones.

The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL is perfect for gaming. The keys are fairly light to press, but have a long pre-travel distance. All keys are macro-programmable and feature RGB backlighting. Latency is high for competitive gamers though, but should be fine for casual gamers.

The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL is a purely wired keyboard, not intended for use with mobile devices.

SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL is perfect for office use. The keys are stable, and the membrane keys offer good typing quality and tactile feedback. The ABS keycaps are slippery to the touch and there is no wrist rest, but you won't feel too tired after typing for a long time. Also, it's wired, so you can't connect mobile devices.

SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL is suitable for programming. You can reprogram and macro any key, and it has decent typing quality thanks to the keys. Its ergonomics are not bad, as it lacks a wrist rest. It's still usable in low light because it has RGB backlighting, but it's zone lighting and only has eight customizable zones.

The SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL has a poor experience with a home theater PC setup, it was not designed for this purpose. It's wired, so you have to connect it directly to your TV, and it doesn't have a trackpad, the only downside might be RGB backlighting and dedicated media keys.

When it comes to the Cherry brand, many people should belong to the love-hate type like the big ghost.

Love it relied on its own product strength to dominate the mechanical keyboard industry for many years after defeating the previous switch king.

But the boy who slays the dragon eventually becomes a dragon. When there is no switch body brand that can compete with it in the market, almost all the mainstream keyboards have the label of Cherry MX switch body.

But the big ghost who was still a student at that time looked at the expensive Cherry MX switch keyboard, and then looked at the steel hammer in his trouser pocket, so he had no choice but to give up.

However, after a series of coquettish operations, there are more and more types of shafts on the market with the development of customization.

Cherry's dominance seems to have been shaken a little, but it doesn't affect it still has many fans.

However, after the epidemic and the market competition is becoming more and more fierce, Cherry also knows that players' wallets are empty.

Introduced today's protagonist Cherry MX2.0S wireless mechanical keyboard.

【Package】

Compared with previous Chrry high-end keyboards, Cherry MX2.0S wireles wireless mechanical keyboard is obviously impossible to have the arms box packaging of testicles.

Instead, there is a black box with some Cherry features, but not too conspicuous.

【Accessories】

The accessories are as simple as ever, with no religious stickers, key pullers, and Korean autographed photos. . .

There is only one TYPE-C data cable for wired connection, a Cherry series product introduction and a product manual.

Although there are not many accessories, it can still reflect Cherry's attention to details.

Taking the data cable as an example, in order to save part of the cost, many domestic wireless keyboards implement the principle of using as long as they can.

The wired link also uses key-line separation and TYPE-C interface, which has not been abandoned by the times.

There is no choice of hard type on the wire, and the traces of bundling when it will not be used for a long time are still there.

Of course, some people will say whether the keyboard cable is not as soft as the mouse cable is selected as an important indicator.

As a three-mode keyboard that can be used by multiple devices, it is more prone to mutual interference, and the magnetic ring on the wire can effectively reduce the occurrence of this phenomenon.

The instruction manual is a part that players have forgotten. It may be out of consideration for female users, or the three-mode keyboard is much more complicated than the previous simple wired link.

The Cherry MX2.0S wireless mechanical keyboard manual is no longer a booklet that you don't need to read.

Instead, Cherry carefully planned and guided the use of each part of the tutorial in great detail and by category.

Sure enough, customer education is also a place that a company with pursuit should pay attention to.

【Body】

Dagui’s is a Cherry MX2.0S wireless mechanical keyboard with a white brown switch version. At first glance, I feel that this keyboard is very simple and elegant, but there is no shortage of fortitude.

The size of Cherry MX2.0S Wireless mechanical keyboard is 430mm×143mm, which is a relatively compact type at this level.

Although both are full-size keyboards, the number of keys has reached 109 due to the addition of the unique cherry key next to the ESC.

Press and hold to start the Cherrry assistant software to set the functions of the keyboard such as changing keys and macro keys.

The Cherry LOGO engraved in the upper left corner of the keyboard improves the details of the keyboard.

The power button of the keyboard is designed on the back side of the keyboard, which is relatively hidden and reduces the possibility of accidental touch.

It also ensures that when the wireless link is not in use, the power is turned off in time to save power from loss.

If you continue to extend along this waistline, you will see the TYPE-C interface and Cherry's slogan "Designed for the Winner", which are also darkly engraved, like carvings.

Coming to the bottom of the keyboard, there are still many small details that can reflect the designer's intentions.

For example, in order to prevent users from losing the USB wireless signal receiver, the signal receiver is made bright red, and the magnetic attraction is fixed on the back of the keyboard, which is not only an embellishment to the back of the keyboard, but also provides enough practicality.

Although the feet are only adjustable for one section, because the back of the keyboard itself is relatively raised, it originally provides a certain input angle.

Cooperating with the support feet can increase a certain input angle again, which can meet the needs of different users for comfortable output.

And the bottom of the feet is equipped with non-slip rubber strips to echo the rubber strips at the bottom of the keyboard, so that the keyboard does not slip easily.

However, Cherry officially said that there are optional matching hand rests, and the positioning holes required for installation are reserved, but the major platforms and even the official website cannot find it. . .

(PS: Designer: I am doing it. I created a new folder)

There is also a reset hole at the bottom of the keyboard, which can be forced to reset the keyboard back to the factory settings when the keyboard does not respond, so as to ensure that the subsequent use of the keyboard will not be affected, and the pressure on the after-sales group will be reduced.

CherryMX2.0S Wireless mechanical keyboard also supports various types of multimedia keys, such as quick adjustment of volume, lock of Win key, quick wake-up of browser, resource manager and calculator, etc.

When the Cherry MX2.0S Wireless mechanical keyboard connects to devices via Bluetooth, it can connect up to 3 devices at the same time.

And you can switch different devices through FN+1, 2, 3, so that only one input device can output on different platforms at the same time. If you count 1-to-1 link 2.4G and wired connection, CherryMX2.0S Wireless wireless mechanical keyboard can link up to 5 devices.

And because of the use of Cherry's latest wireless technology, the input response speed of less than 1ms can be achieved, and the full key has no punching and ghost keys. Whether it is daily office input or game competition, users can enjoy a silky smooth experience. Enter the experience.

【Shaft body】

As for the switch body, Cherry’s classic pentagonal MX brown switch is used this time. The switch body is installed on the keyboard in an inverted form, supplemented by a satellite switch with a balance bar to ensure the feel of the large keys.

Thanks to the steel-free design, the weight of the keyboard is relatively light, but in general, the full-size keyboard is used as the main force, and the probability of moving back and forth is small.

Another advantage of the steel-free design is that when the keyboard is input relatively vigorously, the rebound force caused by the steel plate will be greater, resulting in the feeling of a thug. The Cherry MX2.0S wireles wireless mechanical keyboard is the same as the previous one. They are all designed without steel plates, allowing players to fully experience the pure feel of the switch body without the broken feeling of being mixed with beaters.

Although the keycaps are not made of PBT, they are quite good in terms of color consistency, touch feel, character fonts, and injection nozzles, which is the level that Cherry should achieve.

But for the picky users in China, if you don’t use PBT, it’s better to arrange RGB!

【Energy】

As a wireless keyboard, the battery life is also a very important consideration. After all, no one wants to buy a keyboard that runs out of power every time.

The Cherry MX2.0S Wireleas wireless keyboard, with its built-in 2800mAH large-capacity battery, coupled with the low power consumption Bluetooth mode, can continuously output for 200 hours, basically half a month charging is not a big problem.

【Summarize】

HTTPS://item.Jingdong.com/100038511616.HTML

Whether it is the simple and resolute appearance on the outside, or the uncompromising performance hidden under the appearance.

It is not difficult to see that Cherry has placed high hopes on this keyboard, but limited by its positioning and the coercion of its big brother MX3.0S, it is a fly in the ointment that there is no arrangement for happy RGB and no pbt keycaps.

But all of these are under the Cherry brand, and the price of Goddess Festival is only in the early 500s, so what kind of bicycle do you need?
