As an old peripheral player whose dream is to use keyboards to build walls, I heard that the brand of Ai Shitou is very popular in the field of low-to-medium price performance, so I immediately bought Ai Shitou’s new product AL87PRO to see if it is true. It is as fragrant as it is said to be.

▲The protection inside the box is not bad. The keyboard body is wrapped in a soft foam bag and firmly clamped by two pieces of hard foam on the left and right. A wired connection cable and an instruction manual, that's all that's in the box.

▲ AL87PRO, as its name suggests, is a short keyboard with 87 keys. The small keyboard area is cut off, and the full-size arrow keys are retained. In addition, the row of function keys from F1 to F12 is also close to the main key area. The layout is very compact but not cramped, and the volume is controlled to the greatest extent without affecting the user experience.

▲ AL87PRO uses an all-aluminum alloy frame, which is much stronger and more durable than an all-plastic body, and the frosted treatment also gives it a certain visual beauty.

▲ The rounded chamfering treatment is carried out on the octagonal corners, and the details are handled well, at least it will not cause personal injury to the user.

▲ AL87PRO sets the physical switch key on the front, instead of the back, side or even the bottom that needs to be touched blindly. By using it with the Fn key, the multimedia control operation can also be realized on the 87-key keypad. In addition, the switching of the three connection modes of AL87PRO wired, 2.4G, and Bluetooth is also realized through the three keys of Fn key + PrtSc/ScrLk/Pause.

▲Remove the keycap. The one in my hand is the red switch, which is Ai Shitou's own switch body "V3". It is a satellite switch scheme and tends to be quiet. For me personally, it feels a bit too soft.

▲Fine matte feel + ABS material keycaps are already standard configurations for keyboards. The large key is not loose, and the stability is still possible.

▲The bottom of the AL87PRO is not treated, the aluminum alloy frame is spread all over, and the built-in battery capacity is not marked on the label. The four feet are also made of aluminum alloy with non-slip rubber pads.

▲The two feet above the bottom cannot adjust the height, which is more like stuck in the throat. The non-height-adjustable feet provide a tilt angle of about 5°, whether it is suitable or not depends entirely on the individual.

▲The wired connection port placed on the top of the keyboard is Type C, and microUSB is far away from us. Except for this interface, there are no other holes in the entire keyboard, so the question is, where is the 2.4G USB receiver?

▲ AL87PRO creatively placed the storage of the 2.4G USB receiver on the attached cable. A small plastic piece is attached to the end of the cable where it connects to the computer, where the USB receiver plugs in.

▲When it comes to wires, it also sets a metal shielding ring at the end connected to the computer, which can reduce signal interference as much as possible. Although the cost is not high, this move shows considerable sincerity.

▲Plug in and turn on, the effect of RGB in the whole area is not bad. In fact, it would be nice if the key position indication of Fn+ can also transmit light, but this is still too high for a keyboard of about 400 yuan.

▲As mentioned above, the switch key of AL87PRO is placed on the front for easy operation. I was about to say that its switch operation is very convenient. However, after the power button is turned to "ON", the progressive scanning RGB light effect will appear after 3 seconds, but that is not booting, but booting and loading. There was a loading cutscene when the keyboard was turned on, which was unheard of. The actual booting is not complete until the whole keyboard lights up. At this time, there is no response when typing on the keyboard. The whole booting time of AL87PRO is as long as 5~6 seconds, which is a bit too slow.

▲According to my search, the battery capacity of AL87PRO is 3800mAh, and the official claims that the battery life can reach 7 days with the lights on. However, this is the case of using it for 4 hours a day, and it is estimated that it is still the limit battery life in Bluetooth mode. For an office dog like me, it's better to just plug in the cable.

▲Through the official driver of Ai Shitou, you can control the lighting effects in the "Lighting Effect Settings", including color, speed, brightness, etc. In "Action Settings", you can change buttons, set macros, or multimedia functions, and the experience is relatively complete.

▲In Ai Shitou's official driver, a keycap customization application is also incorporated, in which users can choose the keycap color and keycap pattern by themselves, or directly choose a fancy design scheme in the community to make DIY keycaps collocation and purchase.

The disadvantages of AI Stone AL87PRO, such as non-adjustable foot height, relatively average battery life, and slow booting, are real; however, it is excellent in size control, workmanship, and detail processing. It can also get a comprehensive experience with the official driver. The price of about 400 yuan realizes three connection modes. Comprehensive consideration, I think it is still a short keyboard worth starting with.

1. Appearance

Moka Ae75 is the second product launched by Moka after Ae98. It uses the same design language as Ae98 in design. There is still a conspicuous family-style acrylic light board in the upper right corner. There is a separate Led lamp bead under the light board. When turning on the lights, it’s relatively easy. The light board supports customization and can be DIY. There are three-way outlet slots on the back, three-mode and dual-system switching switches, snap-on 2.4G wireless receivers, and a metal counterweight in the middle, but it is actually a plastic plate decoration, which can be regarded as an ordinary back. A little more embellishment.

2. Structure and noise reduction

Moka Ae75 uses Moka’s own I-shaped silica gel to realize the Gasket structure and cooperate with the PC positioning board, which has obvious deformation, is very soft and elastic, and still feels great; for noise reduction, it adopts an integrated sandwich silicone shaft underpad and EVA Bottom cotton is relatively good at suppressing cavity sound.

3. Shaft body and satellite shaft

The performance of the satellite axis is very good, the rebound is crisp and neat, and there is no space key stroke or steel wire sound. As for the switch body, Moca main switch body, cherry powder switch and sea salt switch are used, which are manufactured by seawood, and the retail price is one yuan each. The quality of this shaft body is very good within 400 yuan for the three-mode finished product. I have a sea salt switch, which is a long-stage switch in advance. It has a strong sense of paragraph, and the bottoming sound is also better. The coding experience is very comfortable.

4. RGB and keycaps

The RGB effect of Moca Ae75 is very good, the brightness is sufficient, and it is also very smooth. The keycaps are made of original height, PBT material, and two-color process. The keycaps corresponding to the Fn level are engraved with laser, which is convenient and practical.

5. Summary and Purchase Suggestions

Moka Ae75, single-mode 299 yuan, three-mode 399 yuan. The advantages of Moca Ae75 include soft elastic Gasket structure, super bright RGB lighting effect, first-class satellite switch, excellent seawood foundry switch body, and comprehensive user experience is excellent. If you like these advantages and can appreciate the appearance of Ae75, then Ae75 is totally worth buying. In addition, there are kits to choose from, single-mode 199, three-mode 299, the price is also very impressive.

Friendly discussions in the comment area are welcome. Although they are all superficial understandings, sharing them can be regarded as an experience. Thank you very much for your viewing and opinions.

Recently received a sample machine - "Xunfei AI Mechanical Keyboard T8" from HKUST Xunfei, hereinafter referred to as T8.

As the first keyboard and mouse of Xunfei, it is also the first mechanical keyboard with intelligent voice input on the market. Whether you know Xunfei’s keyboard and mouse products or not, you should have heard about Xunfei’s input method more or less.

Let's take a look at the basic configuration first:

Arrangement: 80% 87 keys

Shaft: Jiadalong GPRO yellow/red shaft

Keycap: MDA-like ball cap PBT thermal sublimation process

Connection method: three-mode wired, bluetooth, 2.4g

Battery: about 70 days when used alone

Let's do a simple disassembly first.

From the perspective of the keyboard structure, in order to ensure the stability and support of the connection, the keyboard is fixed very firmly. The steel plate positioning plate further enhances the feedback feel, which is very hard, and it is molded to fit their exclusive voice module. The cavity sound also increased.

In terms of switches, although the Gpro switch is an entry-level switch with a price of one yuan, the price of this keyboard has reached 600+. In this current mass production market environment, the simple GPRO switch is obviously not enough. Look, at the same time, only the choice of red and yellow switches and no hot-swap function also make this keyboard stretched in terms of switch body customization.

In terms of keycaps, PBT sublimation keycaps are used. Compared with the two-color injection molded ABS material keycaps, the anti-oiling ability is significantly enhanced. However, for mass-produced keyboards, the cost of dye-sublimation keycaps is definitely higher than that of two-color injection molding. In terms of details, it is unlikely that the heat-sublimation keycaps of mass-produced keyboards will use very fine materials. The keycaps are also slightly rough in appearance.

From the perspective of a customized player, this keyboard is obviously not in line with the current mainstream feel requirements. If it were not for this experience, this keyboard would probably be forgotten by me in the torrent of information.

Jumping out of the player's perspective, from a user's perspective, is this keyboard as ordinary as I said?

If you have paid attention to domestic smartphones before, I believe you will be deeply impressed by the TNT voice recognition error problem that made Luo Yonghao sweat profusely at Smartisan's Bird's Nest press conference. Coincidentally, it was the University of Science and Technology that cooperated with Smartisan at that time Xunfei's technology, the seed of language recognition that was in its infancy at the early stage, has now grown into a small tree that can provide shade for people.

The growth history of intelligent voice input

ill-fated first half of life

Half a century ago, John Pierce, known as the father of satellite communications, gave a verdict on the technology of speech recognition

Just like turning water into gasoline, extracting gold from the sea, and completely curing cancer, it is almost impossible for machines to recognize speech

In the long years, speech recognition is like the most clumsy child in the artificial intelligence "preschool". When other technologies, such as computer vision technology, are advancing by leaps and bounds, speech recognition is still babbling and confused. long march. Large-scale speech recognition research began after the 1970s, and has made substantial progress in the recognition of small vocabulary and isolated words. After the 1980s, the focus of speech recognition research gradually shifted to large vocabulary, non-specific continuous speech recognition.

The perspective came to China, although our country started the scientific research of speech recognition technology very early, starting in 1958, the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences used electronic tube circuits to recognize 10 vowels. However, due to limited conditions, China's speech recognition research has been at a stage of slow development. In 1973, the Institute of Acoustics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences started computer speech recognition. In 1999, HKUST Xunfei was founded by several college students with technical backgrounds, and has been researching speech recognition, speech synthesis and other technologies. Before the 21st century, most of our country played a marginal role in speech recognition technology.

But all this changed in 2010, and 2010 is also a very memorable year for me, the release of Apple 4 and the wave of smart phones. Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and pear trees bloomed. In just a few years, the technological trees spread like wings of light, and life has undergone earth-shaking changes. That is, in this year, speech recognition technology has made great progress, and then it has been advancing by leaps and bounds.

At the same time, the development of the Internet has also provided rich nourishment for speech recognition, making it possible to build a general large-scale language model and acoustic model.

From 2006 to 2019, iFLYTEK won the championship in the International Speech Synthesis Competition (Blizzard Challenge) (1) for 14 consecutive years.

Xunfei seems to be more low-key than other peers. It has been quietly researching technology, focusing on the input method as the core. The version iteration and upgraded technology of the input method basically represent the latest technical direction of Xunfei in the field of recognition.

For me, the voice input function is a "familiar stranger". Although in daily life, voice input has become an integral part of my life, such as using the voice-to-text function during chats and conversations. But on the computer side, I have hardly used the voice input function, because for me, my level is not up to the "export". It is true that the efficiency of voice input is very high, but I am more accustomed to using the keyboard to input longer documents. At the same time, for me, "not being noticed" is also one of the reasons why I don't use voice input to write long texts.

But after in-depth communication with them, some of my inherent prejudices about voice input began to melt, and I gradually understood their product concepts and some current ideas. After experiencing some products of Xunfei peripherals, I also noticed that To their obsession with "smart voice".

HKUST Xunfei has produced a lot of intelligent voice + fusion products, such as office notebooks, projectors, recording pens, etc., but the integration of keyboard and mouse seems a bit clumsy and cute.

How to integrate intelligent voice with office keyboard and mouse? It's "simple", just plug the two together and you're done.

These products that combine mouse and intelligent voice have iterated multiple versions and adapted to different models.

In my opinion, this is indeed an almost "violent" integration. The voice chip is built into the mouse, and a button is added to cooperate with the software driver to turn the "smart voice mouse" into reality. This may be a relatively safe choice at present. Through this form, a simple and simple "smart voice life" can be realized. In their product ecological line, I can see a trace of the concept of "Internet". Layout in various office scenarios to achieve the effect of "voice office" in a shallow way.

Industry solutions from Xunfei official website

Speaking of keyboards, Xunfei has also produced some products in the keyboard field.

These two membrane keyboards with different configurations are the first generation products of Xunfei smart keyboard and mouse.

Xunfei has always focused on office and study in smart voice products. Our keyboard and mouse are mainly office attributes. At present, the office mouse and office keyboard have almost reached a bottleneck period, so we want to develop a bigger Market, thinking about exploring games, office and games.

Of course, in addition to the long-term label of the game on the mechanical keyboard, the lifespan has also become a major focus of this entry into the field of mechanical keyboards.

At the beginning, I made a membrane keyboard, because the membrane keyboard is more in line with the attributes of the office, it is easy to carry, and everyone can use it on business trips. It does seem to be more neat than traditional mechanical keyboards on the desktop, so we wanted to make one in the early stage. Intelligent voice membrane keyboard, and the production scheme of the membrane keyboard is relatively mature, but what we did not expect is that the repair rate of the membrane keyboard is very high, and the quality level is not easy to control.

In fact, one point to be mentioned here is that an important factor for the membrane keyboard to dominate the office market is the low price, so that some other shortcomings of the membrane keyboard can be ignored. After all, it is not distressing to replace it, but when the membrane keyboard is used After the addition of some other functions leads to an increase in the overall price, the lifespan, the weakening of the handle, and the maintenance have become major problems. It is no longer a product that can be replaced at will.

Although they are all keyboards, the experience of making membrane keyboards cannot be transferred to the production of mechanical keyboards. Making a mechanical keyboard is equivalent to starting from scratch for the entire team.

First of all, the biggest problem is the choice of switches. Different from the few choices of membrane keyboards, the mechanical switches on the market can be said to be in full bloom. In addition to Cherry, which has dominated the list for many years, domestic switches have also risen.

Why choose Jiadalong shaft?

At the beginning, we were vacillating among many manufacturers. After contacting these manufacturers, we finally chose Jiadalong among several manufacturers that can produce stable products. On the one hand, we did some market research and tested a lot. The switch body, through cost performance, feel, comfort, etc., including we tested a batch of prototypes externally, equipped with a variety of switch bodies, according to the final feedback, the yellow switch and the red switch, everyone thinks that the user experience is the best. On the other hand, considering the technical level, compared with some other manufacturers and shafts with traditional technology, Jiadalong is self-lubricating, the use of alloy contacts, and compatibility, which are also very important to us. At the same time, Jiadalong's serious and responsible attitude towards our products is also recognized by us.

The second point is the keycap. In fact, in terms of keycaps, for mass-produced products, sublimation is extremely uneconomical. Using two-color injection molds to mass-produce keycaps can greatly reduce production costs.

Why did you choose to make sublimation keycaps in the end?

In terms of keycaps, we finalized several plans at the beginning, including two-color injection molded ABS keycaps, yellow keys with sublimation, and other keys with two-color injection molded ABS keycaps and full-key sublimation keycaps. We made several versions later, but in the end, we still feel that the same material and workmanship of the full key is still very important in terms of visual perception. At the same time, the sublimation version is better in terms of user experience, including oil resistance. Considering that our keyboard is still It is a long-term use product, so try to do the best that can be done within the budget in terms of durability

In fact, if the built-in voice function is implemented, the physical voice module on the right side of the keyboard is actually not necessary. Why is it finally made into this shape?

It actually took a long time to open the shell mold, because our model is obviously different from other keyboards in shape. In order to make the texture of the shell and some small details of the connection, the decoration on the back panel . Guarantee that this keyboard is a perfect fit.

In fact, I am still more concerned about this voice folder. Careful viewers can actually see that logically, "voice button + built-in radio" can actually realize the linkage between this keyboard and software. Why did you still make a physical voice folder? Woolen cloth?

Originally, we didn’t have a voice clip. The keyboard comes with a voice key, so we didn’t expect to add a detachable voice clip. At the workstation, generally do not move randomly, especially mechanical keyboards, and membrane keyboards are also possible.

Later we thought about how to integrate the voice recognition function of this keyboard into various scenarios more deeply, and a detachable voice folder came into being. After wearing the voice folder, users can record meetings, transfer meetings For writing and the like, you can even realize one-key "spray" characters in the game. Everyone will use this keyboard more and more, and the usage scenarios will be more diversified.

At the same time benefiting from this voice clip, the sound recording is clearer than before, and the feedback is faster. We think this is still helpful to the game scene, and it also improves the effect of this keyboard taking into account the game. The core It is the use of the voice folder in the game. As far as the user experience feedback is concerned, the "spray" function of the voice folder is still very attractive.

For this product, there are few options for shell color and style, and the lack of hot-swap function. Will these be resolved in the future?

We actually wanted to do a variety of color schemes. At the beginning, there are about 20 kinds of color schemes, and several of them are very good, but in actual operation, we went to the factory to color the color and the effect was not very ideal. To make this keyboard, from conception to design to actual mass production , It has been more than two years, and when it is about to go on the market, we choose the most stable color matching that has been debugged by the factory, which is the current color matching.

Regarding hot-swapping and rgb lighting, we actually wanted to add it in at the beginning, but after thinking about it, it is our first mechanical keyboard after all, and it is not suitable for hard stacking. It might be self-defeating. This keyboard, including Xunfeike’s large keyboard and mouse, is mainly smart, so we still focus on the software. During the marketing process, we also collected a lot of user suggestions, and we will continue to optimize and upgrade in the future. up the tempo. Compared with traditional membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards still have more playability.

In fact, when we talked about this, we already have a good understanding of the hardware part of this keyboard, and if this keyboard wants to exert its full strength, software is essential.

When it comes to HKUST Xunfei, the most important thing that cannot be ignored is its software strength as a technology company.

The first is the three smart function buttons. In addition to the smart voice key, smart screen capture, smart search, and smart recording can also contribute to the usual office work. The realization of these button functions depends on the intelligent voice assistant developed by Xunfei University of Science and Technology.

At the beginning, we wanted to add all the functions to it. In the end, we only left a few core pieces. We have about 400,000 registered users. By analyzing the usage habits of users, which functions are used the most, we start from From the addition at the beginning to the subtraction until now, what remains are basically some functions that users are more concerned about.

These functions are actually more in line with the application scenarios of the current speech recognition function-recording and searching.

Of course, these functions do not seem to be much different from other software on the market, but in terms of actual use experience, the biggest feeling I personally feel is "fast". Compared with the voice recognition that comes with the win system, Xunfei's voice recognition It is more fluent and silky, and can basically achieve the effect of talking with the mouth, while some traditional software basically uploads and recognizes words one by one in this regard.

Xunfei’s speech recognition function, from the original 80% at the beginning, to 98% of Mandarin now, 400 words per minute, currently used in Xunfei’s keyboard is an algorithm of Xunfei’s input method, due to space limitations, here Do not expand the description.

Future can be expected

As the first mechanical keyboard cross-border product of Xunfei University of Science and Technology, the performance of T8 can be said to have both surprises and shortcomings. From the perspective of the mechanical keyboard itself, this keyboard still has a lot of room for improvement, but from the perspective of putting it into a voice recognition crossover product, this keyboard still has a lot to be commended, whether it is You can feel the mold opening design of the shell, or the hard work on software adaptation.

Against the background of the keyboard market growing wildly, this keyboard is on a completely different track. In any case, this keyboard needs to compete with other opponents after all. Coincidentally, keyboard manufacturers in the circle are on the cusp of crazy volume configuration. The configuration of this keyboard is obviously unable to touch the volume king, but I still hope that this keyboard can be seen by more users. This keyboard may not be so It is cost-effective, but there is no doubt that this is beneficial to the entire keyboard ecology. I also hope that iFLYTEK can continue to work in the field of mechanical keyboards and make some more interesting products.

The author declares that there is interest in this article, please respect the author and the content shared, communicate friendly, and make rational decisions~

My previous keyboard was Logitech’s craft, and I don’t know why I felt that the membrane keyboard was YYDS at that time. I bought my first mechanical keyboard at work, Cherry’s basic red switch MX1.0, and I felt that the experience was mediocre at first. , After using it a lot, I began to get used to the input experience with long keystrokes and no sense of paragraphs.

It took me a while to get to know the mechanical keyboard, and from the perspective of cost performance, I plan to put a mechanical keyboard at home.

After various comparisons, the Kezhi K68, which has outstanding cost performance and is known as a 68-key escape tool, was selected.

The axis I chose is TTC Gold Powder V2, a high-sensitivity linear axis with a good reputation at the same price.

The selected color is a more distinctive time machine color scheme.

After getting the keyboard, the first feeling is that the outer packaging is very simple and there is no sense of design. A simple sketch keyboard, the rest is white, and even the product information is posted.

Although it was purchased by JD.com, the product is not sealed in plastic, which always gives people a feeling that it is not rigorous enough.

Unpacking The delicateness of the keyboard body is in stark contrast to the randomness of the outer packaging, including the manual, key puller, cable, and keyboard body.

The texture of the keyboard is very good. The smaller the keyboard, the more refined it looks. The letters are printed clearly, and all the Fn combination keys are engraved on the side, which is clear and concise.

Because the battery capacity is not large (2000mha), the overall is also thin and light.

Contrasting color design, combined with the mode switching switch in the upper right corner, the design is full, the material of the keyboard is good, and the overall completion is high, like a work of art.

Two-stage foot support, metal nameplate, receiver magnetic absorption storage, no slots.

In terms of the most important feel, the TTC gold powder switch has a light trigger and a comfortable rebound. The overall experience is very good, and the stability of several large keys is also very high.

There are a lot of RGB options, you can switch colors, you can also switch modes, there is a certain degree of playability, I don’t particularly care about it personally. 68 keys and F keys can be realized by combination keys. If it is not necessary to use F1~9 keys frequently, it is completely acceptable.

Write at the end:

Because the use time is short, the experience is limited, but the overall satisfaction is much better than the basic Cherry model in the unit. It is small and exquisite, and has a temperament of art. This keyboard is recommended by many big guys.

The summary is that it can be flushed completely, and the price is still very cost-effective under the same configuration of the coaxial body.

As for the disadvantages, a 2000mha battery counts as one, but it is more than enough for a month without RGB for normal use. I don’t think it matters much. his.

At present, Xiaobawang's X68 is one of the competing products that can compete with it, but the overall color scheme is quite different. It will be released soon. If the budget is just right at this price, I have a longing for the 68 series. I think you can choose between these two types. last one.

The keyboard is the main input tool of the computer, and the purpose of ergonomics is nothing more than to make the user more comfortable. Some keyboards adopt a design with a raised center and low sides, allowing the wrist to maintain a relatively natural posture; some keyboards divide the input area into two large areas on the left and right, allowing the arms to maintain a relatively comfortable natural angle; as for the keyboard itself The basic elements such as the inclination angle and the height of the keycap include many ergonomic designs that we have become accustomed to. Today, I would like to share with you a MD770 split mechanical keyboard from MISTEL, and see how some of its ergonomic designs can bring a more comfortable experience.

There are some irregular coil patterns on the front of the keyboard package, perhaps to express the meaning of irregular but ergonomic? Anyway, the overall design is relatively simple, and the brand name, model and Cherry shaft are all the information that can be seen.

Happy to hear and see a family portrait: MD770 RGB keyboard body, a small bag of supplementary keycaps, a USB to Type-C data cable, a C to C spring data cable, a wire key puller, four rubber feet, and an instruction manual.

At first glance, the keyboard looks like a common 84 arrangement. Except for the gaps on both sides that are a bit eye-catching, there is nothing unique about it.

There are two indicator lights and the "MiSTEL" Logo on the frame in the upper right corner.

The keyboard itself has a small tilt angle, and with the OEM height keycaps, it looks mediocre by any means.

Before the keyboard is separated from the left and right, the four Type-C sockets on the rear side are the most distinctive.

In fact, the separation of the keyboard is very simple, and one can be divided into two with a little force. To be precise, the keyboard is folded together only because it is manually assembled and placed on the desktop, and there is no design to make it tightly integrated between the left and right parts.

From this point of view, it is even clearer, which is equivalent to adding side walls at the separation, so that it can become an independent entity alone.

If you need to use the left and right keyboards at the same time, you first need to use the C to C data cable in the accessory to connect the left and right keyboards.

Then use the USB to Type-C data cable to connect the Type-C jack on the upper right corner of the right keyboard with the host computer, so as to provide power supply and data transmission capability for the entire keyboard.

Connecting the right keyboard to the host computer alone can also be used independently, but it seems unlikely that the right half can be used independently.

Many brands have produced one-handed keyboards in the left area. The left part of MD770 is such a one-handed small keyboard when used alone. The current popular CS:GO, LOL and other games use this half side. It can give The mouse leaves enough room for movement, the only regret is that the backlight cannot be turned on when the left keyboard is used alone.

If the backlight is necessary, it can only be fully connected, and the right keyboard is placed in a far area to achieve it. Personally, I think this design idea is not very reasonable, either the position of the main connecting jack is shifted to the left; or the two jacks can independently take on the same function. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the position of the control chip. The current practice is likely to be a compromise due to the relatively small area of ​​the left part of the PCB.

There are still some gaps in the popular elements of keyboards between Bay Bay and the mainland. This keyboard switch body uses cherry silent red switches, and it uses a welded structure. Everyone should be familiar with the feel of the Cherry switch. The silent switch will be a little dull when it hits the bottom, and the ancestral spring sound is also a little bit. On the contrary, the consistency of the large keys of the satellite axis is quite good, and it has been lubricated and adjusted before leaving the factory, which is worthy of praise.

The standard keycaps are OEM-height PBT two-color keycaps, and the craftsmanship and details are still acceptable.

The anti-slip effect of the four small round anti-slip stickers on the bottom of the keyboard is average. There is a DIP configuration switch group on the lower side, which can be used to switch between MAC and Win systems, as well as the position switching function of different keys. can see this setting.

In addition, you can use the feet in the accessories to achieve two different keyboard inclinations. One is to install the feet near the back to increase the overall inclination of the keyboard.

In addition, the four foot supports are installed on both sides of the split position to form an inclined posture with a high middle and low sides. This posture is actually more in line with the normal placement of the arms and wrists. In addition, the split left and right keyboards can be placed in any position, making it more comfortable and smooth to use. Of course, using a split keyboard has higher requirements for fingering standards, otherwise it will affect the input efficiency.

The lighting mode adjustment of the keyboard is all driver-free operation, and you can also use the key combination to customize the color and set the personalized light color. At the same time, the keyboard can also set three layers of custom layers, except that it is a little cumbersome to set up, but the playability is still relatively high.

The MISTEL MD770 RGB split mechanical keyboard has better adaptability than the keyboards we often see, and any part can be used independently according to different actual needs. RGB lighting and three-layer macro definition make the keyboard more playable. Of course, there are also shortcomings, such as the backlight cannot be turned on when the left side is used alone. Overall, the advantages of this keyboard are very obvious, especially suitable for users who have correct fingering and can use the keyboard proficiently. It is also a good choice if you are a novelty hunter, or want to relieve wrist strain caused by long-term use of the keyboard. Of course, if you feel that too many cables in the wired version are in the way, you can also choose the Bluetooth version in one step to keep the desktop clean and simple.
