In September, Black Canyon just added the latest Ice Cream Pro, Yelan Pro and Deep Sea Pro to its flagship keyboard Y series. As Double Eleven approached, two new gasket mechanical keyboards, E2 and E4, were released. It is worth noting that the 99-key E4 is a configuration that Black Canyon has never launched before, and the 75% and 98-like configurations are also the two most popular configurations of domestic mechanical keyboards in the past year. The most important thing is that the 75% E2 is priced at 439 yuan, and the 99-key E4 is priced at 499 yuan, both within the price range of 500 yuan, which is also the most popular price in the market. Next, let's take a look at how these two keyboards perform. This time the E series has a total of two colors, namely midnight blue and starlight white. Among them, the midnight blue color scheme is a relatively rare gray-blue arrangement in mechanical keyboards at present, and the non-transparent keycaps with SA height are used. Starlight White looks very similar to the Y series at first glance. After all, he used the two-color SA highly transparent keycap that is very similar to the Y series, while retaining the smiley indicator light, but the position was changed to the ESC in the upper left corner (same as the Y2). The overall appearance looks like a continuation of the style and design of the Y series. Of course, there are actually many differences in details, which we will introduce in detail later. First of all, the accessories part is still the same as the Black Canyon, but there are no constellation and zodiac cards, not because it is an unofficial version or because only high-end series are given. The brand's iconic large hand rest (snap-on type), the best independent shaft puller and key puller among mass-produced gifts. The biggest change between the E series of Black Canyon and the Y series is that the upper cover has been changed from traditional textured plastic to a glossy spray paint, which looks a little like piano paint, but it is not made into a pure finish under the paint surface. The flat polished surface still looks like the original grained plastic surface. So from a personal aesthetic point of view, the dark midnight blue looks better than the starlight white. As far as the actual effect is concerned, this kind of surface technology is relatively rare in mechanical keyboards. It may be the first time that Black Canyon has done it. Coupled with the reason of rushing to the construction period, there are many defects in the paint surface of these two keyboards. flaw. When the blue version is used, there are obvious watermarks on the lower part of the upper cover on the side facing the computer. The white version has a large area of ​​watermarks on the palm rest, and the edge of the side below the space has rough touch. , Obviously caused by insufficient paint thickness. Fortunately, these do not involve structural problems, which should be resolved when the official version is launched. In order to match this paint design, the four corners of the upper cover are chamfered with relatively large arcs, and the texture and style are more unified. The blackboard is bare on the back, except for the non-slip mat, which is a magnetic foot support. As a series that focuses on cost performance, the E series has made appropriate simplifications in this regard. What remains unchanged is that the E series is still very textured after using the PC positioning board, and it feels very heavy when picked up. When using a non-metallic positioning board, the weight still reaches 1238g, which is probably due to the thick silicone sandwich pad inside. and bottom pad. It's a pity that the E series is as difficult to dismantle as the Y series, and I decided to give up without any tools at hand. First of all, the first difference from the Y series is that the keycaps of the E series have been slightly improved compared to the Y series. Take the white version as an example. It is still optimized and changed to a slightly shorter SA-like height. It is still a white and blue two-color design. It is still the two-color keycap with almost the best light transmittance among mass-produced keyboards, and it still turns white light into light. blu ray. In particular, the feel of the two FJ positioning buttons is more concave than the conventional buttons. The more obvious change comes from ①A circular chamfer is added to the edge of the space, which makes the hand feel better when tapping the space without cutting the hand. ②The matte feeling is slightly enhanced. Although the keycaps of the midnight blue color scheme are opaque, the overall craftsmanship and feel are the same as those of the white version. It should be said that I like this set of keycaps very much. It feels much better to use than the traditional SA height. The keycaps are solid in workmanship, and the touch feeling is further improved after improvement. That said, purely in terms of feel, this set of keycaps is at the T0 level within 500 yuan. In terms of structure, I said that I can’t disassemble it without hand tools to see what’s going on. It’s a pity. It is also a Gasket structure, and the positioning plate is the same, but the positioning plate of the Y series is slotted, and the E series is not slotted. Therefore, although they are all hard Gaskets, the Y series feels more soft and elastic, and the overall deformation felt by pressing the E series is also smaller. And after comparing the two keyboards, I think there is also a gap between E4 and E2, and the feel of E4 is slightly better than that of E2. There is also a certain difference in the sound of the two arrangements. To sum up: Although the E series retains the feel of the Y series Q bullets, it is still slightly weaker than the Y series in terms of Q. After all, the price difference is more than 100 yuan. In terms of configuration, both E2 and E4 are relatively compact, there is no space for the knobs, and there is no more space on the surface. However, there is enough space between the ESC and the F area. The F area adopts the design of 1 (ESC), 6, and 7 (F6-12 plus a right button). In view of the general F area, the key that needs blind operation is mainly F1. -5 and F11, F12, so this arrangement in the F area after getting used to it can be done blindly without accidentally touching it. As for the axis body, the landscape axis series is adopted like the previous Y series. I finally understand why the Y series hastily updated the switch body a month ago. On the one hand, the quality of the scenery switch itself really cannot support the price of the Y series and the status of the flagship Black Canyon keyboard. On the other hand, it is also to avoid being caught by the E A series of backstabs widens the gap on the shaft. Speaking of the scenery axis itself, it is nicknamed the color-changing axis by players, and it has a mediocre reputation. It is a BOX V2 axis. But how to put it, in fact, compared with the basic version of the BOX switch on the previous low-end X series, the texture of all three switches has been significantly improved. The main reason for the bad reputation before is that the price/performance ratio in the shaft retail market is average. Taking the linear Danxia axis as an example, the rebound is completely sufficient, but it is not as good as the TTC or even the top hand. The smoothness is not so good but there is no obvious sense of astringency. It belongs to the kind of axis body that has no obvious advantages and can't find any faults. In fact, although I currently have nearly 60 keyboards in my hand, I still use the Y5 of the previous Danxia switch in my work unit. I really like that keyboard more and more. This switch is placed on a keyboard with a price of 700 yuan. It will make people feel that it will become a short board, but it is very suitable for a keyboard within 500 yuan. The smiling face indicator light has been tested in Y2. The rendering looks awkward, but it feels pretty good when you get it, even a little cute. The wireless switch is still pushed back to open, the push button is the same as the Y series, but the E series feels a bit loose, not as tight as the Y series. Needless to say, the large key part has completely continued the performance of the Y series. It should be said that now more and more major manufacturers have recognized a problem, that is, the large key greatly affects the user experience of a product. Opening a set A good mold, using good raw materials, is a method that can almost once and for all, and a low-cost solution to the problem after a one-time investment. black gorge So at present, the key to seeing multiple brands is that you don’t even look at them, and you don’t have to worry about them at all, and Black Canyon is one of them. After using the magnetic height-increasing feet, the height is the same as that of the Y-series two-stage open feet, which is the height I personally prefer to use without a palm rest. The light performance and the keycaps have been mentioned many times before, so there is no need to elaborate. There is also a structure similar to a condenser on the view axis, so whether the keycaps are transparent or not, the brightness of the entire backlight is very good. Like the Y series and BOX series, the E series will also have drivers, which will be uploaded in the near future. Finally came Double Eleven, we might as well talk about the prospects of the two keyboards of the E series at the end. First of all, their cost performance is definitely higher than that of the Y series in 618. Many of the ingenious designs of the Y series are partly retained in the E series, and some are simplified. Among them, the cost performance of E4 is obviously higher, relatively speaking, the competition faced by the same price is not so fierce. The more successful Gasket design of the Y series is retained. Although the Q-elasticity is discounted, it is also the one with the better hand feeling among Gaskets at the same price. At the same time, I am not sure whether consumers will buy this piano-like lacquer finish, and it also has the function of a fingerprint collector. But as mentioned before, the appearance of midnight blue is obviously higher when the lights are not turned on. Moreover, the 99-key E4 should be very suitable for office use, calm, low-key, and attractive. E2 is facing the hottest 499 yuan 75% keyboard this year. In the second half of the year, two pairs of king-level keyboards will be strangled. Compared with competitors, the appearance is relatively mediocre but good-looking, the axis body is inferior, the sound is inferior, the structure is flat, the texture is superior, and the keycap The hand feel is superior, and the overall hand feel is considered to be flat. The main reason is that the price advantage of 60 yuan is very attractive at this price. If it is compared with the 399 yuan file, there is no TTC hot-selling switch to compete with, and the texture and keycap of the E2 package can be said to be comprehensively superior. So in general, the E series is a series that lacks a sufficiently attractive selling point, and it is difficult to cause players to consume impulsively, but after weighing the pros and cons for a long time, it is very likely that you will finally choose it. As I said in the title, apart from the paint surface design, the E series is a bucket machine with not outstanding features but no obvious shortcomings, and the price/performance ratio at this stage is also relatively good. After communicating with Black Canyon, they said that the paint problem will be solved on the large version, and the E series will start pre-sale on October 24.

Recently, Dareu released the new three-mode wireless mechanical keyboard A81. If I remember correctly, A81 actually had a wired version before. Of course, I personally prefer the three-mode wireless keyboard to the wired version. The A81 three-mode still pursues the strongest Gasket feel. The PC material positioning board enhances the softness of the percussion. The latest version of the sky V3 shaft body equipped with it has a smoother feel and will not shake. Full-key hot-swappable, three-mode The connection method, the full-color RGB lighting effect is more cool, and the built-in porom + silicone double filler can better restore the pure shaft body. The outer packaging of the A81 is also different from other models. The silver background design makes people feel very metallic. There is a rendering of the keyboard on the front. It can be seen that the A81 still adopts a 75% management layout. The selling points of the A81 cores are printed on the side of the box. Of course, I am most concerned about the satellite shaft. After special tuning, the satellite shaft is more silky while maintaining stability. Under the fierce competition in the mechanical keyboard circle in 2022, 75% of the layouts will have a more compact design, retaining the F area and direction keys, providing users with a scientific and efficient pressing operation feel, and the overall layout is more acceptable. The A81 uses a T-shaped PC positioning plate, combined with a high-toughness silicone sleeve, to increase the soft contact force of the elastic arm. When the player hits the keyboard, they will have a softer pressing feel, especially for users who like soft touch. For girls, the sense of experience will increase a lot. Different players have different switch experience requirements, coupled with the dazzling switches on the market, full-key hot-swapping has become a standard configuration for many mechanical keyboards. A81 supports 99% of the mechanical switches on the market. Players can change their favorite switches at will, and finally find a switch that is more suitable for their input experience. The A81 has specially tuned the satellite switch, especially the new purple gold satellite switch for the large key, which can effectively ensure that the key position of the large key is stable and not fleshy, and the player will not shake when typing quickly, and the listening experience is more comfortable. Avoid the sense of noise caused by the steel wire sound. The A81 adopts the original height PBT keycap, which is also the most mainstream material in the past two years. PBT has a better fingertip touch, and it will not be oiled, and it is more durable and more textured. Under each button of the A81, an independent RGB backlight LED lamp bead is designed, with 16.8 million light colors to enhance the cool visual effect of the desktop. In a completely dark environment without lights, the overall effect is even more cool. A81 has a built-in 3.5mm silicone pad and 1.5mm thick Porom cotton padding, which can effectively reduce the noise caused by the internal cavity of the keyboard, ensure the consistency of the keyboard feel and give the user an authentic mechanical switch feel. The A81 is equipped with a 4000 mAh lithium battery, which can be used for one month in an environment with the backlight turned off, and can be used continuously for 6 days when the light is turned on. In particular, the internal intelligent sleep function reduces the number of frequent keyboard switches. Users feel more at ease. For Win and Mac dual system users, A81 can switch between the systems through the switch button on the top of the keyboard, supports type-c charging port, and the overall design is still very good. On the upper left of the keyboard, you can switch between different modes by sliding the button, which is very convenient. The 2.4G storage compartment can effectively prevent the user from losing the receiver. Provides the arrow keys, enter key and space bar that can be used for replacement, shaft puller and data cable, and there are also many accessories. The workmanship of the keycaps and the printing of the fonts are actually good, and the details can still be controlled. In fact, I have personally used many Dareu products, especially the mechanical keyboard, which not only has a good design, but also has a very good workmanship. In terms of color matching, Dareu has also made great innovations in the past two years. A81 is positioned as a three-mode mechanical keyboard that focuses on the simple layout of the desktop, emphasizing good feel, long-lasting battery life, and colorful RGB lighting effects. With a reasonable price of 499 yuan, the overall performance is excellent. In terms of color matching, two colors of blue, white and purple have been launched, which are not very niche, but it is also a good recommendation for female users, especially as a small gift for female users.

The Keychron V series is a line of purely wired mechanical keyboards manufactured by Keychron. The series adopts some elements of the Q series, such as the uniquely shaped PBT keycaps and hot-swappable PCB. The Keychron V1 is a wired-only compact (75%) mechanical keyboard, the first version in the Keychron V series. The collection takes some elements from its premium Q line, as well as others. Gaming Even though they weren't designed for this purpose, the Keychron V series are excellent gaming keyboards. They feature solid build quality and full RGB backlighting, and their hot-swappable PCB means you can easily swap out the stock switches for whatever game switch you want. Additionally, all keys are macro-programmable using companion software, which is available on all major operating systems. Ergonomically, the high-profile keyboard lacks a wrist rest. Also, their latency is best suited for casual gaming rather than competitive gaming. Mobile Device Performance Since the Keychron V-Series are purely wired keyboards, they are not recommended for use with mobile devices. However, they connect via a USB-C to USB-C cable, so you can technically use them with any mobile device that has a USB-C port, but this will quickly drain the device's battery. Office Performance The Keychron V-Series is the perfect keyboard for the office. They feel solid and heavy, and the sound-isolating foam inside the board keeps typing noise to a minimum, making them ideal for open office environments. A switch in the upper left corner makes these keyboards and their software fully compatible with all major operating systems. Programming Performance The Keychron V-Series is an excellent keyboard for programming. It's well made, and it's great to type on. Additionally, all keys are macro-programmable using companion software, which is available for all major operating systems, including Linux. These keyboards also feature full RGB backlighting to illuminate the keys in the dark. Also, since they are wired, you cannot connect them to multiple devices at the same time. Entertainment Performance The Keychron V-Series is not intended for use in entertainment or home theater settings. They're wired, which means you have to use a connecting cable to connect from the keyboard to the device. They also don't have a trackpad or any extras for on-screen navigation. However, as a plus, they have full RGB backlighting and very good build quality.

In the past few years, IKBC has launched several Gundam co-branded mechanical keyboards authorized by BANDAI, including Gundam 1.0, Gundam 2.0, and Banshee, etc., which made the fans enjoy it. After all, in terms of peripherals, although there are many joint products with the second dimension, the joint products of the Gundam series, except for IKBC, seem to have been prodigal. Recently, ikbc has launched a new 98% configuration Gundam co-branded keyboard, which adopts the classic RX-78-2 Gundam series design elements and integrates the latest 98% configuration mechanical keyboard - as IKBC's first 98% configuration keyboard, This model not only takes into account the needs of most users in terms of keyboard configuration, but also gives an excellent presentation in the performance of Gundam elements. The packaging is still ikbc's consistent style, with its own logo printed on the monochrome background The Mobile Suit Gundam logo in the upper right corner indicates that this is a joint product. Chuangtong Risheng Club in the lower right corner is the copyright owner of Gundam, which also shows that this joint name is an officially authorized product. Inside the package is ikbc standard anti-static bag packaging to protect the keyboard from accidental scratches during transportation. The keyboard as a whole uses the classic blue, white, red, and yellow color scheme of RX-78-2. It has to be said that the combination of white main color with red and blue is really unforgettable. The most obvious feature of the keyboard is the use of 98 columns. 98 configuration, it has both complete and independent digital area keys, which can effectively improve the working experience, and can also take into account the compact size and portability. The keyboard adopts a single-mode wired connection to ensure a stable connection during use. The three-stage foot support on the back provides a multi-stage input experience, allowing you to adjust your own comfortable angle. The three-way wire slot can better adapt to different desktop environments The accessories are very simple, there is only one key puller. The keycap adopts two-color PBT technology, the main key area adopts the same white main color as RX-78-2, and a large number of Gundam element symbols are used on the function keys: The ESC key directly uses a Gundam avatar The E.F.S.F and GUMDAM on the space bar and the Enter key are IP symbols that glue guys can understand at a glance. The Alt key directly adopts the pattern of the Hello robot made by the driver of RX-78-2 Amuro—youdao yes The Iron Harrow, the Flowing Gundam—even in Gundam SEED, you can see Harrow The shift key uses the warning sign on the Gundam body. Friends who are familiar with scale models must be familiar with this sign The shaft of Z98 this time adopts the domestic Longhua shaft. The shaft has a dust-proof wall design, and the tapping experience is very silky and light. The satellite shaft is still the ikbc classic steel satellite shaft with stable performance. It is a pity that ikbc still does not adopt the hot-swappable shaft design, which is indeed a shortcoming in the current highly customized machinery market. This product is definitely a cost-effective choice for the majority of rubber guys. The initial price of 299 yuan is very cheap among many joint IP products, not to mention that it is as high as such a big IP, and the 98 series design also makes this product The keyboard has a high adaptability for both work and games. Friends who like the Gundam series should not miss it.
