Productivity tools, besides the PC is the most mainstream at present, I can’t think of others. If you want to say that the best friends of the PC are naturally the keyboard and the mouse. So, how can you choose a more comprehensive mechanical keyboard among mass-produced keyboards? This is a bit more difficult. My personal needs are also a bit harsh, such as: high battery life, RGB backlight, quiet tap on the shaft body, three-mode connection, etc. At present, this type of keyboard on the market is basically ceiling-level.

As the main player of productivity, if you use it all year round, you must choose a comfortable one! ! This time, I found a new "ceiling-level" friend for my little PC brother - Heijue AK966 three-mode hot-swappable gasket structure mechanical keyboard.

[unpacking]

▲Hey, it's a little different this time. This packaging is a bit of a gift box design. It adopts a hard carton design with a window in the center of the front. The cover shows the brand Heijue and the product name AK966 three-mode mechanical keyboard, and the painting of the League of Legends professional youth training cooperation brand.

The back is marked with basic technical parameters and manufacturer information:

Model: AK966

Transmission method: wired, 2.4G, bluetooth

Interface type: Type-C

Size: 387.5*136.8*41.5mm

Weight: 1027g

Shell material: ABS

Keycap material: PBT thermal sublimation

Wire length: 1.8m

Lighting effect: 18 kinds of RGB

Key layout: 96 keys + 1 knob

▲Packing list, including Heijue AK966 three-mode mechanical keyboard, Type-C cable, key puller/axis puller integrated, four Mac apple supplementary keycaps, Kaihua new switch-experimenter, thank you letter, warranty card, manual , and a very high quality dust cover.

In fact, in addition to the metal knob on the keyboard, this keyboard also comes with an extra knob as a replacement.

▲Okay, the regular army is here, I turned on a psychedelic night light just now, and woke up this time.

Heijue AK966 three-mode mechanical keyboard adopts 98% arrangement, 96-key layout + 1 metal volume knob, divided into 3 colors: Xingwan, Senyu, Mengxia, I entered Xingwan, using dark gray, light gray, The yellow splicing is more textured. Of course, these are superficial, and the real power is still inside:

The most popular gasket structure design for customized key rings, three poron support (poron sandwich cotton + bottom shell cotton + shaft under pad), which brings excellent key consistency to the keyboard and effectively eliminates the cavity The typing sound becomes more pure and pleasant.

10000mAh ultra-large capacity lithium battery, this can be regarded as the "highest respect" for three-mode products! The starting price is only 649 yuan, which is really amazing~

▲The back design is more conventional, but also rich!

There are rubber feet at the four corners, which will not slide easily even when playing games; the two-stage foot support has rubber on the supporting contact surface, which has a good anti-slip and mute effect; the three-way wiring slot, in the wired connection mode, can be customized according to your preferences Choose the outlet to make the desktop more tidy and clean.

The interface is built-in Type-C and has an insertion guide rail, which has better stability. Of course, you can also choose a customized aviation plug-in cable with a flatter connector for compatibility.

▲This time, the switch of the keyboard is finally placed on the table, and there is no need to go to the bottom to operate it.

The side adopts a sliding type, the center position is the shutdown and wired mode, the upper part is wireless 2.4G, and the lower part is Bluetooth, which is very convenient, and the operation and viewing modes are very convenient without moving the keyboard.

▲What is relatively novel is that a metal black knob is designed on the upper right side of the Heijue AK966, which can directly control the system volume of the PC. Of course, if you connect a mobile phone or tablet, you can also directly control the volume of the device.

▲From the side view, under the metal knob is a small storage compartment for the 2.4G receiver. This is very necessary. The storage inside the fuselage avoids loss, and it is more convenient to take it from the side.

When many manufacturers open the mold, they don’t know whether they forgot or because of cost control, they often don’t open a receiver storage slot for the keyboard, but this Black Jue AK966 keyboard is very powerful, and it overcomes all the pain points we can think of. up.

Looking at the keycap from the side, it is a ball cap with MDA height. It has a large contact surface with the fingertips. The surface is matte and feels good to use. It is made of PBT and processed by sublimation process. It will not appear oily or faded after a long time use. In the case of class, the characters are relatively fine, and there is a feeling of simple apple style.

▲Heijue AK966 three-mode mechanical keyboard, the shaft body is made of: Kaihua MX Cream ice cream shaft, all POM material, strong self-lubricating property, and has the characteristics of "the more you use it, the smoother it is". After opening the shaft body, it is found that it is better than the traditional The shaft body with the transparent upper cover feels a lot thicker. After checking the price of this shaft body, 90 shafts cost about 380 yuan. Heijue really made me speechless this time! !

Of course, if you are more accustomed to the feel of other shafts, it supports full-key hot-swappable, using the Kaihua hot-swappable shaft seat, which is compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts, which means that all shafts on the market All can be unplugged and replaced.

The large key position uses a custom-made satellite switch, and the switch has been moistened before leaving the factory. The effect is quite good, and there is no wire sound.

【pair】

▲In terms of pairing, the Heijue AK966 keyboard uses the Bluetooth 5.0 solution, and the effective transmission distance is within 10-20 meters. It is very mature, with stable transmission and strong anti-interference ability.

It can be adapted to the whole system of fruit, android, window and mac. In Bluetooth mode, you can connect 3 devices and switch freely through FN+Q/W/E. After pairing with the mobile phone, you can also check the remaining power of the keyboard on the mobile phone. ,Very convenient.

Of course, it doesn’t matter even if your computer doesn’t have a Bluetooth function, this keyboard supports wireless 2.4G, you can pair it with the 2.4G receiver directly, and enjoy the joy of wireless office or gaming! If you like stability, of course, you can also choose a wired connection.

▲In terms of typing, it feels very comfortable. The decibel of typing does not exceed 70dB, which is quieter than the traditional red switch. The Bluetooth output is very smooth and has no delay; it is triggered when the keyboard is pressed. The back of the keyboard is not supported, and the height of the wrist is raised It is also very comfortable, maybe I personally prefer tiled operation.

The pressing force of the Kaihua ice cream switch is slightly larger than that of the traditional switch body. This model is a linear switch with a trigger stroke of 2mm, a total key stroke of 4mm, a trigger force of 55g, and a bottoming force of 70g. Novices need to adapt to the function. I learned that this switch can be regarded as a "top star" in the circle of playing customized keyboards. It has a wealth of gameplay. After disassembly and self-lubricating adjustment, it is very good. After all, the price is also very good.

▲ Seeing this, it is not far from the main course.

Although I haven't played fighting games for a long time, the full key no punch is basically aimed at the attributes of fighting games, requiring various combinations of multi-key presses to trigger skills. Do you have the impression that the ordinary keyboard in the past will directly alarm when you press the der and der on the main board? That voice was so refreshing.

As for the keyboard of Heijue AK966, I used the Keyboard software to test its impact resistance, and it performed well, with no impact on all keys.

▲ Serving food is said to be productivity. A new brother can't let him sit idle and do some serious business!

"LOL": It's relatively simple, just a few buttons trigger skills, and you can also try out the operating feel from the axis. The travel of this Kaihua ice cream shaft body is actually similar to the red shaft, both are 4mm, but the pressing pressure has increased, which makes it feel longer than the red shaft travel. In fact, they are the same, but the skill trigger is pressed more accurately. The skill has been triggered when the journey reaches halfway, and the response is quick.

"Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain": This classic Hideo Kojima masterpiece is currently a ceiling-level game. It has rich plots, stories, and operations. The entire game features are similar to movie-level blockbusters. The picture quality is good. Heijue AK966 is fully operated, the trigger is accurate, there are no dumb keys, and the keys are effective.

"God of War 4": Kui Ye has always had an irreplaceable position in my view of the game. God of War 4 is an action FPS game with hardcore output throughout the whole process, especially the close-up slow motion against the boss. The feeling of tearing is real. Comfortable, pure violence aesthetics, the operation area is spread over most of the keys on the left side of the keyboard. For this kind of pure fighting game, it is inevitable that the adrenaline will explode, and the pressing pressure will naturally increase. The rebound effect of the keyboard is good, and the single key is crazy It is also a very accurate number of times output. How come I don’t feel the trigger force is too strong after playing the game, um...it’s weird hahaha.

▲RGB lighting effect is definitely a boon for night workers. Although AK966 has PBT sublimation keycaps without light-transmitting characters, the RGB effect of this keyboard is still much brighter than some keyboards.

In addition, the speed, brightness, and direction of the lighting mode can be adjusted; 18 kinds of lighting effects are preset at the factory, which is also very rich; you can also customize 3 sets of game lighting effects, and the 37 keys of the office mode are lit , record and save separately, to meet the lighting effects of different operations, the keyboard still needs to have RGB, so it has its own taste, isn't it? !

▲ In terms of table setting, I actually like minimalist placement, and I don’t like those bells and whistles. It’s best to have a keyboard and a wireless mouse. Cups, mobile phones, etc. are readily available. Recently, I turned out the microphone again when I was making a video. I was a little lazy and confiscated it.

【Summarize】

▲The overall weight of the keyboard is 1065g, which can be regarded as a heavy-duty keyboard. It’s not that it’s not good, but what you get is naturally the stability of the control and full stacking.

Having played here, we should also summarize its advantages and disadvantages.

Advantage

1. There are 3 colors of appearance, Xingwan, Senyu, Mengxia, to meet the different needs of appearance lovers;

2. 98% configuration, 96-key layout, reserved keypad + metal volume knob, to ensure high-level productivity;

3. Full pile of material, the overall gasket structure, composed of poron sandwich cotton/bottom cotton/shaft pad, the percussion feel and sound performance are both excellent;

4. The 10000mAh large-capacity lithium battery is currently the highest configuration in mass-produced keyboards, and it is really "violent";

5. Three-mode connection, wired + Bluetooth + 2.4G, you can use it however you want;

6. Kaihua MX ice cream shaft, the unit price is 4 yuan/each, the overall is moist enough, the mute effect is good, and the linear feel is very good;

7. Full-key hot-swappable, compatible with three/five pins, can be replaced at will;

8. Factory preset 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects, brightness/speed/direction/recording can be adjusted freely, and the lighting is quite in place;

9. In terms of size, it is slightly longer than the 87 keys, leaving a lot of space for the mouse to be happy;

10. Mode switching switch, the front design is very convenient and efficient, and the 2.4G receiver storage slot on the right is practical and anti-lost;

11. The free accessories are very rich, such as replacement knobs, shaft testers, mac supplementary keycaps, key puller and shaft puller, etc.

Need to improve

Because the keycap and the switch body are opaque, the RGB lighting effect is insufficient.

To sum up, I personally feel that Heijue’s AK966 three-mode hot-swappable mechanical keyboard, 10000mAh lithium battery, MX ice cream shaft body at 4 yuan each, gasket structure, three poron settings, RGB lighting and other configurations can be directly filled to the limit. "Top match", starting at 649 yuan, it is really worth starting.

I can say that I have never heard of the brand Moca before, but after 618, when I was browsing the forum, I saw this name by chance, and I also heard that he released a new 299 yuan 98 matching Gasket structure keyboard this year. I was curious about what Gasket can do at this price, so I went to Tmall to buy one, because it was already 618 when I placed the order, so the price has risen a bit, and it is about 312 yuan if 88VIP offers 50% off.

I bought the cable + linear (cherry powder) axis version, and if it is a three-mode version, it will cost another 100 yuan.

The appearance is very simple, a single-layer box. The inside is a plastic partition. Keyboards with this design are really rare in recent years. Speaking of which, similar designs can be traced back to the Iron Shura Duranduo sword I bought in 2011.

All accessories, manual, dust cover, spiral braided cable, 3 keycaps, 5 replacement shafts, and an integrated shaft and key puller. The keycaps on the base version are all white.

The closed characters look okay. I don’t know who made this cherry pink switch. The pink switch, transparent top cover, blue bottom shell, and the satellite switch are also blue and white, which is pretty good-looking.

The original height of the two-color keycap, the side wall is relatively thin, the edge angle is relatively sharp, the characters are slightly protruding, and the spout treatment is okay. This set of keycaps is still qualified at this price point.

There are patch lights, sound-proof silicone pads, and sound-proof cotton at the bottom. The necessary PC positioning board for soft Gasket is also arranged.

The one on the back is a bit like the CMK series keyboard, but the milk gray part is actually plastic.

The craftsmanship of the shell is average, but the texture is not particularly cheap. It is basically a male model design, with many small flaws, but I will show you, I don’t care much about these.

The moment I got the ae98, I felt that this keyboard is really light, because there is no metal positioning plate, so as a 98 keyboard, its weight is 869g.

For comparison, the weight of the compact 67-key Amilo Eucalyptus is 826g. Don't look at the big difference in arrangement, but the weight is about the same.

For cost and pricing reasons, the shell texture of ae98 is indeed relatively ordinary, but there are no detailed workmanship problems, and there is no creaking sound when pressing down on various positions.

Moka deliberately made a gap in the upper right corner of the keyboard, and an acrylic sheet is embedded in it, which can blend the lights very well, and this acrylic sheet can be easily pushed out and taken down. I don’t know if Moka will launch customized products in the future. Serve.

The keycap characters are opaque, and the RGB lights are exposed from the gaps in the keycaps. It looks fresh and pleasant.

The keycaps are neat, and no individual keycaps are crooked. There is a transition in the corners of the upper cover, which feels smooth. This design is quite good.

In addition to the sound insulation pad, there is a thin layer of silicone under the shaft on the PCB under the switch body. The left and right sides of the space are also filled with sound insulation silicone. There are manifestations.

Let me tell you that the cherry powder switch is too loose. It is really difficult not to take the switch out when pulling out the keycap. I thought it was because the opening of the positioning plate was too loose to get stuck. As a result, I replaced it with the TTC gold powder switch. That's the problem.

According to statistics, the probability of ae98 pulling out the key is as high as 80%...

Let’s talk about this cherry powder switch. First of all, it is worth affirming that the smoothness is good, and the stability of the axis is also good, but it feels very dull. I once suspected that it was due to the structure of the keyboard, especially the underpad of the silicone switch that was a bit redundant. After replacing the switch with gold powder, the sound and touch were much better.

So I disassembled the cherry powder shaft, and I didn't see much traces of moistening the shaft. Some masters said that the dry film may be lubricated.

To sum up, if you want to use it well, it is recommended to replace this shaft.

The advertised trigger pressure is 50g, and it doesn’t feel harder than the traditional red switch when you press it. Press it against the BOX red, and the trigger feeling is similar, but the cherry powder goes to the bottom first, which means that the bottoming pressure is a little smaller than the BOX red.

To sum up, there is no doubt about the appearance of this shaft, but the feel of using it is at least not very in line with my preferences.

As for the big keys, they should all have been polished. There is a slight noise in the space, and some of the big keys are relatively fleshy. In this era when everyone's big keys have been greatly improved, it is obviously not good. The wired version with a price of 300 yuan is acceptable at this level. If the wireless version with a price of more than 400 is also like this, it is at the middle and lower level at the same price.

Next, I am going to change the general thunder and lightning theme keycaps I bought in a certain treasure store.

I won't say how painful the process of changing the keycap is, it's basically the same as changing the keycap + changing the shaft. This is the final product.

Even if this set of PBT keycaps is made by a small shop, the surface is relatively smooth without a matte feel. As for the pattern, it is completely incomparable with top-themed keycaps like Amilo, and the joint name with Akko is also quite different. I am a pseudo-true love party of Shadow, so the feeling now is... well, it took so much effort to change it. , let's use it for now...

Speaking of it, there are patterns and IP, oh, there should be no copyright, but the effect of the whole build is relatively messy, and it is not harmonious.

However, with a large number of five-sided sublimation keycaps and this effect, there is basically no blooming, which I think is still possible. But this look... I think most of the patterns are from the general doll, not the shadow.

Another feeling is that after installing this set of keycaps, the keyboard seems to be more fleshy than when using the original keycaps.

At the price of 299 yuan, Moca ae98 has a gasket structure, and it also stacks classic customized configurations such as double-layer sound insulation pads and even under-shaft pads, plus a certain recognizable acrylic logo in the upper right corner. At a limited price, Moca shows enough sincerity. However, limited by the cost, it does not show the workmanship, feel and texture that exceed the price, especially the inner cavity of the keyboard does not seem to be completely filled. When you tap the bottom, it feels that there is still a lot of unfilled space inside. Due to the material and mold, a little cavity sound can still be heard when using the original keycap.

The smoothness of the original shaft body is good, but the sensuality is more obvious. Although the pad under the shaft plays a role in silencing, the hand feeling is negatively optimized. If you are not pursuing silence, it is recommended to remove it.

From the perspective of getting started, the wired version of ae98 is quite competitive at this price, while the advantage of the wireless version is obviously not obvious, but from the perspective of experiencing the feel of the PC positioning version of the gasket or preparing for subsequent shaft changes, And if you further toss the internal structure, ae98 is still a good choice.

In addition, Monka actually sells the ae98 wireless kit, and the event price should be within 300. Considering that the original switch body and keycaps are very ordinary, I suggest friends who have wireless needs to buy the kit directly.

In the past two years, the brand of IQUNIX Aluminum Factory has made various breakthroughs. Some time ago, I bought a super cute cat mechanical keyboard M80. The cute cat ear design + cat related keycap printing + cute cat head keycap design, for me As far as a cat slave is concerned, he can't put it down!

A few days ago, I was thinking of using a mechanical keyboard for the computer in my work unit. I wanted to buy the OG80 wormhole from the aluminum factory. Who would have thought that the OG80 would be new! A mechanical keyboard that makes people happy when they see it: OG80 Happy Vending Machine!

Even my 5-month-old Xiaobao couldn't help but go up and beat it twice! Haha~

The first time I opened the package, wow! Eye-catching! Didn't expect it to be so "bright"! Breaking the rules, the fuselage is quite unrestrained berry red, with pure white keycaps and red characters, the whole keyboard is full of "joy"! It's like a big bowl of "tomatoes mixed with sugar" hahaha~

This color scheme is different from most mechanical keyboards on the market! You will be attracted at a glance. This red and white color combination is full of vitality and cheerfulness, especially corresponding to the theme of this keyboard: happy vending machine!

The keyboard body is made of translucent PC material, with a matte feel, and with a berry red color scheme, it looks more "transparent" under the light! The circuit board can also be clearly seen on the back, which is very mechanical~

The upper right corner of the keyboard is equipped with the model OG80 logo, which is like a status symbol!

In addition to the bright colors, the keycap design is also very interesting! It uses a lot of fashionable and personalized words with encouraging elements, such as: smiling face, 777, line band, etc., which makes people's eyes shine! Even when you are in a bad mood, looking down at such a "pleasant" keyboard will release some negative energy and add a little joy!

In the accessories, an additional set of happy-themed keycaps is presented, which can be replaced according to your preferences.

In order to fit the theme of happiness, the keycap characters also use a relatively round and thicker font.

The entire keyboard, whether it is the design of the keycaps or the color of the appearance, is so different. When typing on the keyboard, the fingers seem to be a dancing elf, full of joy!

In terms of layout, a very compact 83-key layout is adopted. The numeric keypad on the right is removed, and the keyboard as a whole becomes smaller, which does not take up too much space on the desktop, and at the same time meets my basic daily needs.

There are no adjustable feet at the four corners of the back of this keyboard, mainly because the keys in the F area adopt a stepped inclined structure, which is ergonomically designed, and will not feel wrist fatigue even if you type the keyboard for a long time.

This keyboard supports three different connection modes: wired, Bluetooth, and 2.4G. You can switch wired/wireless through the switch button on the back of the keyboard.

In wired mode, it can be connected through the Type-C interface on the top left side of the keyboard. The wired connection interface of many mechanical keyboards on the market is basically located in the center of the keyboard. Personally, I prefer the one-sided design of IQUNIX OG80, which is more convenient for desktop organization.

The most interesting thing is that the 2.4G receiver is hidden under the magnetic cover on the left side of the keyboard, which is very concealed and ingenious, easy to store and avoid loss.

Let’s talk about the switch body again. I bought the RGB version of the TTC fast silver switch.

TTC fast silver switch, there is no doubt that the switch body is faster than the silver switch. Like the silver switch, it has a similar linear feel. When typing on the keyboard, it goes straight up and down, and the trigger speed is fast. It is very clean and easy to touch!

In addition, the keyboard also supports hot-swapping, and you can replace different switches according to your needs at any time, DIY your own exclusive keyboard.

The keyboard is also divided into a matte version and an RGB version. I like the light show, so I naturally bought the RGB version.

The lighting effect is also very rich! Especially with the appearance of berry red, it makes the desktop more "colorful"!

Generally speaking, this IQUNIX OG80 happy vending machine is a very interesting and memorable personalized mechanical keyboard!

The energetic "happy theme" design brings some joy to the boring life;

Hidden 2.4G receiver design, ingenious and intimate, to avoid loss;

The 83-key compact layout saves desktop space and meets the needs;

The stepped keyboard design makes long-term codewords or games no longer tiring!

In addition, the full key supports hot plugging, which makes friends who like DIY happy!

Hello everyone, a few days ago Zha Zha wrote an article "It doesn't seem so difficult to make a good keyboard", and shared with you some product trends of domestic brand keyboards and the status quo of involution. And recently, I also received an MX LP2.0 low-axis mechanical keyboard from Cherry. Today we might as well change our perspective and talk about why manufacturers with stronger comprehensive strengths like Cherry, Logitech, and Corsair are so good at feeling. Always "almost mean".

Regarding the bad feel of the big manufacturers, there is still some paradox—these brands have strong R&D strength and funds, and it seems that it is not particularly difficult to adjust the keyboard. What's more, there is basically a standard answer for mass-produced brands to improve the feel. How can there be only a handful of mass-produced major brands that do this small thing well?

Regarding this problem, I slag made up some reasons why domestic manufacturers cannot do it in the previous article: for example, it is difficult to automate the process of moisturizing the satellite axis, and another example is the cycle sharing rate of the mold cost of the self-owned factory, etc. As for the first-tier brands that adopt the OEM processing model, it seems that these reasons for brain supplementation are not valid-at the price range of these brands, they have enough profits to support their products to achieve an excellent feel that is more recognized by the market, and they also have more The confidence to go to the PUA foundry, forcing the factory to improve product details.

For example, Cherry brand keyboards, compared to our hatred of Cherry switches, some of Cherry’s finished keyboards, especially the product level of the MX series, can be said without hesitation—the MX series has been developed since the earliest 8.0 and 9.0. Filled with a strong earthy Shamat style, this kind of product positioning with full IQ and taxes is also very inconsistent with Cherry's position in the industry. The following new MX series, especially the new wireless keyboards, have indeed made great progress in the overall style, but their outrageous market prices and extreme marketing terms are also difficult for consumers to accept. In this regard, my personal attitude has always been abhorrent.

From another perspective, we must at least admit that, as a leading manufacturer in the industry, Cherry's product and R&D teams should be able to keep abreast of the current mainstream keyboard development trends—so this time the MX-LP 2.1 low-axis keyboard looks It is still a continuation of the Cherry keyboard style in recent years, but on the other hand, it also expresses Cherry's exploration and compromise on the market more strongly-contrasting color keycaps, short switches, compact layout, etc. are all Cherry in everyone's previous impressions. missing elements.

The quality of the MX-LP2.1 keyboard itself is not too much to introduce. As a compact low-axis keyboard with a price of 700+, the overall feel of the MX-LP2.1 is complete, compared with the previous few short keyboards. There is still a certain gap between the shaft benchmarks - the steel wire sound of the large keys and the friction sound in the shaft stroke still exist, and there is still a relatively obvious cavity sound. The lack of these details still belongs to the category of the problem we raised at the beginning: Cherry They still haven't done these small details well, but it doesn't mean they are incapable of doing it well - the metal version MX-LP6.1 of the same series has an internal sandwich filling, and the overall feel and texture are much better.

The overall appearance design of MX-LP2.1 can be called excellent - the floating rounded rectangle looks elegant and simple, the keycaps are excellent in workmanship, the characters are clear and durable, although the color matching is a bit abrupt, but for Cherry, it is enough to be called That's huge progress.

In addition, MX-LP2.1 still has some flaws in the product details - as a compact keyboard with a short shaft and a large flat keycap, there is no kick design at the bottom, and the ease of use is not even as good as Dareu's EK868. It makes people feel a little unbelievable. The most likely reason is that MX-LP2.1 was developed as a low-profile derivative version of metal MX-LP6.1 at the beginning of research and development, and metal keyboards are naturally inconvenient to design feet, so there is no need to separately Designed with feet.

Next, close the topic and talk about the pricing of the MX-LP2.1 keyboard and some of it. First of all, it needs to be clear that the price of this low-axis keyboard priced at 1,099 yuan has stabilized in the 700 yuan range after one month on the market. Compared with Cherry’s previous products, this price is basically a normal price. If you consider the brand power Plus, it's not really that expensive. However, by horizontal comparison, we can find that the current compact layout low-axis keyboard market has been firmly occupied by Keychron and Nuphy, while the higher-end market includes Logitech’s G913, and the sinking market also includes Dareu EK868 and IKBC S200.

As far as the current product strength of MX-LP2.1 is concerned, it is not easy to get involved in the compact low-axis market and get a piece of the pie, but on the other hand, Cherry does not seem to worry about sales—in the recent promotional nodes, No matter how the domestic keyboard manufacturers compete inwardly, Cherry will always have a place at the top of the list. Only relying on the reputation of the brand and the original factory can easily gain faith and orders, which is better than those with excellent switches. The domestic brands should be simple and crude - I don't care what kind of gold powder, fast silver tiger you are, I'm the original factory, that's enough.

So back to the original question, why the keyboards of manufacturers like Cherry, Logitech, and Corsair are always "almost meaningless" in terms of feel. Rather than looking for reasons in R&D, foundries, and supply chains, it is better to admit frankly that most users, especially those who are not sensitive to prices only looking at top international brands, often do not perceive the so-called steel wire. Tone, Run axis, feel and other issues. As for these leading brands, their research and development capabilities are often concentrated on the technical side - better optical axis, more stable wireless connection, higher polling rate and more complete ecology are the priorities of these brands. , maybe in the eyes of the RDs of these brands, focusing on the structure and feel is only something that domestic brands that cannot survive will do.

Hello everyone, I am Vinegar.
Today I would like to share with you the evaluation of a keyboard, including the experience of digital enthusiasts (my husband is awesome), and the irresponsible evaluation of digital novices (that is, I am right), I hope it will be helpful to everyone~

My husband needs to work from home and always uses the computer late at night. And he also likes mechanical keyboards, and he must work in the bedroom, he is simply the worst roommate. I didn’t have a baby before, so I tolerated a little noise, but at worst, I couldn’t sleep with him. But the baby will not get used to his faults. The baby sleeps lightly, and will cry endlessly when awakened by the sound of the keyboard, which is especially difficult to coax. I sent a note before and complained that my husband's keyboard sound was too loud. I would like to ask you what is better. Later, because I took the child to my parents-in-law's house for the winter, he could only use a laptop, so I forgot about changing the keyboard.
Recently moved back home and my nightmares came back and ordered him to switch to a quieter keyboard or I'd switch him to a membrane keyboard.
My husband and I haggled over the price and asked me to approve him to buy a more expensive one. He said that there is nothing better than his model at a price of 100 yuan. To ensure that it feels comfortable and quiet, you must buy an expensive one, otherwise it will affect his office efficiency! Alright alright, although it hurts, but work is the first, so I reluctantly agreed~ After he compared it, he chose the Lulian KU102 thin and light mechanical keyboard, which was purchased by JD.com. 359), all of a sudden the shotgun was changed.

▲The packaging is very simple and fresh. The front of the box is the rendering of the keyboard and the product name.

▲The back is a detailed introduction.

Husband Gang Jing said that the performance of this keyboard is relatively balanced in all aspects, and they all perform well.

The first is the most intuitive appearance. Lulian KU102 thin and light mechanical keyboard has a small size and a simple appearance design, and the overall look and feel is simple and generous. The color matching matches the decoration style of my home very well, so it is very suitable for home use.

Secondly, the feel , This Lulian KU102 thin and light mechanical keyboard uses a low tea switch, which has a slight sense of touch when tapping, and feels very comfortable to the touch. Compared with the keyboard used before, the difference in feel is not only the difference in the shaft body, but also the personal feeling comes from the material and workmanship of the keycap. The surface of the keycap of this keyboard is smoother, the concave of the keycap fits the belly of the human finger, and the surface is also frosted, which is more comfortable when typing.

Let's talk about the mute issue . It is definitely not completely silent, but because the nature of the office is not to code all the time, but to use the keyboard intermittently, and the baby will play white noise when the baby is not asleep, so this sound can be ignored.

Also, this keyboard is very light! It is not as heavy as a bottle of mineral water, and it can be easily carried on business trips, so you don’t have to use the keyboard that comes with your laptop!
Finally, tell me what you like the most. this keyboard Multi-system compatibility is very good , support Windows and MAC OS dual systems, you can switch according to your own needs, and there are Apple system exclusive keycaps , since there are both Windows desktops and Apple notebooks at home, this function is very practical. Powerful shortcut function It is also very convenient. By the way, even if it is not used for a long time, there will be no disconnection.

One thing to say, this keyboard is indeed very quiet. On the first day of using the new keyboard, my husband was working on the desk at the end of the bed. I didn't hear anything, and thought he had been swiping his phone! This mute effect is really good! I like it!
