Hello everyone, I am Taotie

If you ask what is the most popular key ring now, then I will definitely say "three-mode, 68%, Gasket". Indeed, with the development of time, people's demand for the keyboard is not only usable, but also the feel, portability, function and other aspects that can show individuality. So when a keyboard has the above elements, it will naturally attract more consumers' attention.

I tested a Royal Axe R108 mechanical keyboard before. Although it is a new brand, it left a very deep impression on me. It has solid large keys, smooth feel, exquisite appearance and three-mode wireless connection. Wait for the configuration, let me be deeply attracted by it. The product I experienced this time is the latest product from Yufu, Yufu Y68 three-mode wireless mechanical keyboard.

Not much to say, let's take a look at the actual performance of this Y68.

由于我拿到的这款御斧Y68为”糖果工厂“主题，因此键盘整体包装采用了Black&Pink的撞色设计。

Open the package, the first thing you see is the wireless connection instructions and the keyboard dust cover.

On the left side are the four spare gold powder shafts reserved by the Royal Axe for emergencies.

This time, the accessories of Yufu Y68 are quite rich, including replaceable foot supports, shaft pullers, key pullers, manuals and data cables.

I have to mention that the data cable included this time is really beyond my expectation. After all, it is really rare that a spiral data cable with an aviation plug can appear in a mass-produced keyboard.

After trying it, the texture and feel are quite exquisite, even if it is sold alone, it can be sold at a good price.

After introducing the accessories, let’s take a look at the main body of this Royal Axe Y68 three-mode keyboard.

This time, the Royal Ax Y68 adopts the 68-key arrangement that is very popular in key rings today, that is, the arrow keys and some function keys are reserved on the basis of 60%, which should be regarded as the best solution for practicality and size. Of course, in addition to the appearance, the first sight is still attracted by its color scheme. The crimson function keys and the light pink letter area make it complement the theme of the candy factory, and the girl's heart is bursting.

Another eye-catching thing is the wireless mode switch button in the upper right corner. The lever structure is quite textured, and the "click, click" sound even feels like pulling a gun bolt when it is toggled.

In order to enhance the texture of the keyboard, the edge of the Royal Ax Y68 adopts a retro-style equal-width bar design, and retains three indicator lights on it.

A hexagonal fixed anti-collision strip is also added to the side position, and the English logo of "UNSTOPPABLE" is also printed on it.

In order to facilitate the left and right routing, the Royal Axe Y68 adopts a Type-c cable-cutting separation interface in the middle.

The classic "ROYAL AXE" is also printed on the bottom of the frame.

Turning it over, you can see that the Royal Ax Y68 uses a pink bottom plate of the same color as the fuselage, and there is a metal nameplate on it, and the texture is directly full.

Maybe it's a structural problem, so the foot support of the keyboard is replaced with a replaceable magnetic suction structure. When a different angle is required, it can be inserted directly.

In terms of the shaft body, this Royal Axe Y68 still uses the TTC gold powder shaft with a very good reputation on the key ring. The overall feel is smooth, light and stable when used. For friends who like code words and have small hands, this shaft The body is definitely comfortable.

The large key still uses a stable steel plate satellite shaft, which is very firm when shaken by hand, and grease is added inside, and in order to reduce the cavity sound of the space bar, a sound-absorbing rubber pad is added under it, and the details are in place.

The typing sound test of this Royal Axe Y68 is attached below to see its actual percussion performance.

Of course, the hot-swappable base is also a standard configuration of this keyboard, and the shaft body can be easily pulled out for replacement through the shaft puller.

With hot-swappable support, the keyboard can be more playable, and it is also convenient for later maintenance of the shaft.

In terms of keycaps, this Royal Axe Y68 uses OEM high-level PBT two-color keycaps, and the surface feels slightly frosted, so you can rest assured in terms of durability.

You can see the two-color process inside the keycap, and at the same time, different English slogans are added to the big keys.

In terms of wireless connection, this Royal Axe Y68 has three modes: Bluetooth, 2.4g wireless and wired, and you can choose according to your needs.

When you need to switch to the wireless mode, turn the power switch to ON, and then select the corresponding wireless mode to connect.

Then this article is the code that I connected to the 2.4g wireless mode. Tried it, the connection is stable, there is not much lag, and there is no problem.

Through this period of use, I found that the experience of using this Royal Axe Y68 three-mode mechanical keyboard is quite good.

First of all, this keyboard adopts the very popular 68-key arrangement, which is small and exquisite; Bluetooth, 2.4g wireless, and wired three-mode connection make the range of use wider. The sound-absorbing treatment has been carried out; coupled with the hot-swappable base, PBT two-color keycaps, RGB lighting effects, matte color matching and metal texture switching levers, this Royal Axe Y68 almost perfectly solves consumers' concerns about machinery. All the pain points of the keyboard.

So if you are still looking for an exquisite, excellent small-sized keyboard, this Royal Axe Y68 is definitely worth a try.

Well, the above is the whole content of this article, thank you for reading!

I believe that many friends have a kind of worry when shopping, worry about the premium for high prices, and fear of cutting corners for low prices. Who dares to sort by price these days and order the one with the lowest price. There are too many routines, sometimes the keycaps or other accessories are clicked, and some are other disgusting people, such as the graphics card in the girls' dormitory.

Recently, I bought a pair of mechanical keyboards in the early 500s. Note that it is a pair, not a set. Can a mechanical keyboard with an entry-level price be played? Just follow me out of the box.

When it comes to entry-level mechanical keyboards, many friends will immediately think of picking up leaks. In fact, if you occasionally see a car with a mechanical keyboard on the shopping guide platform, you can miss it at around 100. But most of them are mechanical keyboards with 87 keys and monochrome backlight. It has to be said that this is also a successful marketing method, and it is a good return for watchers who are good at getting stuck and picking up leaks.

But what I will share with you today is a set of cool 107-key gaming-style mechanical keyboard that doesn’t need to be stuck, missed or tossed – Dimo ​​F8.

The 104-key full keyboard is more friendly to 7080 and other users who use computers for a long time. In the past, the keyboards we have come into contact with are all 104 keys, so even if they are not financial personnel, many users are more accustomed to the full keyboard layout.

The main reason for the initial implementation of 87-key domestic mechanical keyboards is actually to save costs. The essence of a mechanical keyboard is composed of multiple shafts, and one shaft is essentially a switch.

For example, the price of 50 high-tech green shafts is about 26 yuan, which is about 50 cents (reference price on the Internet), while the price of cherry shafts is at least two yuan.

Another advantage of the 87-key mechanical keyboard is that it is suitable for the small desks of Internet cafes that have not been upgraded in the early days. The 87-key mechanical keyboard has fewer number keys, which can save a lot of desktop space. You know, in the early CS1.6 era, e-sports players chose to rest and put the keyboard, just to make room for the right hand to operate the gaming mouse more conveniently.

Although Dimo ​​F8 is a 104-key mechanical keyboard, it adopts a compact and simple design, which can greatly improve the utilization of desktop space.

The four borders are designed with ultra-narrow borders, which is extremely simple and more capable.

Another significant advantage of the compact design is that the shortcut keys of the gaming mouse will not be accidentally touched due to the extended metal cover.

The classic design of metal upper cover and floating keycap is used, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the keyboard.

The metal cover of Dimo ​​F8 is tinted, which is not dazzling and more attractive. The large cross-cut lines of the brushed metal on the top cover add a lot of color to the keyboard as a whole.

In terms of backlighting, a red backlight is used.

Dimo F8 red light version, the keycap is made of ABS two-color injection molding. For the F8 cherry version, PBT is used.

PBT has high heat resistance, toughness, fatigue resistance, self-lubrication, and low friction. Resistant to hot water, alkalis, acids, oils, PBT is one of the toughest engineering thermoplastic materials, it is a semi-crystalline material, has very good chemical stability, mechanical strength, electrical insulation properties and thermal stability. These materials have good stability under a wide range of environmental conditions. The wear resistance of the keycaps made of PBT is quite good, and its high wear resistance even reflects the characteristics of not oiling for a long time on the keyboard, which has also been loved by many senior players. With such a strong hardness, it will be slightly harder in terms of hand feeling, but when the pattern is infected, the color reproduction is high and the color is not easy to fade. Its inherent light color is more suitable for the processing of white and other keyboards. Friends who like light-colored mechanical keyboards can pay more attention.

In terms of the axis body, the F8 red light version uses an optical axis, which has a lifespan of 100 million times and a response speed of 0.2ms. It not only has a longer lifespan and faster speed, but also has better waterproof and dustproof performance.

In terms of hand feel, it is similar to the classic MX blue switch, which has a clear sense of paragraph, but the pressure and noise are much lower. When entering a large amount of text, the wrist is not so tired.

Dimo F8 adopts the design of six rows of keycaps with four levels of height, which presents an arc shape as a whole, so as to fit the physiological signs of the human body.

The bottom cover is made of non-metallic material, the classic two-stage height adjustment and large area non-slip floor pads, but the diamond-shaped texture is added, which can be regarded as a small art.

According to the naming method of a technology company, Dimo ​​F8 Red Light Edition should be called F8 Youth Edition, that is to say, it has changed the optical axis and simplified the backlight from the mature design of the original F8 Cherry Edition.

For friends who are looking for entry-level mechanical keyboards, this high-end product with reduced configuration is more cost-effective.

Recently, I feel that the desk is too messy. I want to tidy up the desk and make the desktop more beautiful and concise. The 108-key keyboard used before takes up too much space, and after actual use, the usage rate of the number keys next to it is also very low, just in time. On Double Eleven, I bought this hot-swappable three-mode mechanical keyboard with 65% configuration and 69 keys on the Internet. It is the Heijue K690T PRO, a small keyboard with both appearance and strength.

Speaking of Heijue, friends who often look at keyboards should be familiar with it. The brand founded in 2009 has relatively high cost performance.

Package

The packaging of the Heijue K690T PRO Bluetooth three-mode mechanical keyboard is still very simple. The front is the main picture of the keyboard and the specific model. The logo of the partner of the League of Legends professional youth training base in the upper left corner is still very eye-catching. This shows that Heijue His strength has been recognized by professional players.

After opening the box, you can see the main body of the keyboard. Let’s put it aside first. In addition to the main body of the keyboard, there are still a lot of accessories, including TYPE-C cable, 2.4G receiver, key puller, shaft puller, and instructions.

Because it is a hot-swappable mechanical keyboard with replaceable shafts, this time Heijue K690T Pro presented a key puller and a shaft puller, which is very considerate (I don’t know if it was installed more, I have a total of 2 of this one) key puller 2 shaft pullers).

Exterior

Heijue K690T PRO provides two color choices, the color matching of the two colors is very small and fresh, and the name is also small and fresh, mint vanilla and lemon wafer. I chose lemon wafers this time. The overall color combination is white and yellow. The color saturation is also very low, which visually gives people a sense of elegance and freshness.

The layout of the key positions adopts a layout of 69 keys, so that the ESC key and the mode switching key are in a row on the top, the brand LOGO is in the middle of the two keys, and the indicator light is on the left of the mode switching key. So many elements are designed in an orderly manner. There is a sense of order and it also looks very refined.

Thanks to the 69-key layout, the keyboard maintains a compact body, which is very friendly to friends who travel frequently.

The keycap of Heijue K690T PRO adopts PBT double injection molding process, which has a great touch, clear font, very wear-resistant and not easy to oil; there are four huge anti-slip pads on the bottom of the keyboard, which is believed to be completely stable when placed on the table. Guaranteed.

Shaft

The shaft body of Heijue K690T PRO is Heijue’s own Shanlan switch, which is made of PC material as a whole, and high-strength springs are used to increase stability. Some large keys are also equipped with Heijue’s carefully adjusted satellite switches to maintain Consistency of feel.

I have been using it for a period of time. Not only does it feel very good, but the typing sound is also very pure. This is due to the double-layer cotton inside, which avoids hard collisions inside the keyboard when typing, and makes the overall keys feel better. , The sound of typing is also more pure.

The key position adopts the layout of high and low keys, which is in line with ergonomics. It looks like an arc from the side, which can perfectly fit the movement trajectory of fingers when tapping up and down, making the hand feel more comfortable and not tired after playing for a long time.

hot swap

As a hot-swappable keyboard, Heijue K690T PRO adopts Kaihua hot-swappable shaft seat, which can support most of the three-legged and five-legged shafts on the market, plus the attached shaft puller, for those who like DIY Friends can transform according to their own aesthetics.

connect

There are three connection methods of the Heijue K690T PRO keyboard, wireless 2.4G connection, multi-channel Bluetooth 5.0 connection and Type-C data cable connection. The mode switch button in the upper right corner can freely switch between the three connection methods.

The multi-channel Bluetooth connection allows one keyboard to connect to three devices such as a mobile phone, a tablet, and a computer at the same time, and can seamlessly switch between the three devices during use.

backlight

For a gaming mechanical keyboard, how can there be less cool RGB, but for people like me who have seen a lot of RGB lighting effects, I still like the pure color backlight of blue light or white light, and the lighting settings can also be downloaded from the official website. The driver can make more personalized settings for the keyboard, not only can adjust the light color or mode, but also can design the macro keys.

battery life

Heijue K690T PRO has a built-in large 2000 mAh battery. In wireless mode, turn on the RGB lighting effect and last for about 15 hours. The business trip party does not have to worry about the battery life at all. The TYPE-C data cable is used for charging. It’s ok, many mobile phones now use C-port data cables, and charging is also very convenient.

Summarize

On the whole, the Heijue K690T PRO still has many bright spots, such as good looks, comfortable keyboard feel, multi-device connection, and long battery life. These highlights still impress me very much, and this keyboard really fits well on the table. It is simple and elegant at the same time. I plan to use it for a long time in the future. If you are also impressed by its highlights, you might as well hurry up Get one and try it out.

Because the author often codes, the frequency of use of mechanical keyboards is relatively high. The author usually uses a cherry red switch keyboard, which has been used for three or four years. It is a second-hand keyboard picked up by the author when Internet cafes closed down a few years ago. Recently, the response of this keyboard is not so sensitive when the author occasionally plays games, so the author wants to change to a new keyboard recently.

Just in the past two days, when I was visiting ZDM, I suddenly found that the original 249 yuan keyboard now only costs 169 yuan. So the author placed an order on PDD for this keyboard that looks pretty good. The manufacturer was also very generous and went directly to SF Express, and the author received the goods in less than three days.

The configuration of this keyboard is as follows: 100-key key position, Bluetooth and wired dual-mode 2000mah battery, white backlight, and the shaft body of the mechanic's own yellow shaft. The configuration is still pretty good.

Since I bought it because of its appearance, the first thing that attracted the author after receiving the goods is the appearance of this keyboard. It looks very good after getting started. The keycaps of the "Gundam Boys" three-color combination are very coordinated. To be honest, even if the backlight is not turned on, the keyboard looks good in front of the computer.

In terms of arrangement, the uncommon 100 arrangement is adopted. The advantage is that compared with the 108-key arrangement, it is relatively compact. The disadvantage is that friends like the author who are usually accustomed to the 108-key arrangement still need some time to adapt to this keyboard. Especially the position of the small number keys, the author often presses the wrong key after changing the keyboard.

Careful manufacturer

In terms of connection methods, this keyboard provides two options. One is a wired connection. It is connected by the TYPE-C interface data cable that comes with the keyboard. There is also a tie with a mechanic logo on the connection line. These details make the author feel that the manufacturer is very careful about making this product.

Another way is to use Bluetooth connection, this way is more stretched. First of all, the delay of Bluetooth is higher than that of 2.4G, so that you cannot use Bluetooth connection when playing some games that need to be operated, and you can only use it as an input device for mobile phones or tablets when you need it temporarily. Even if you want to connect to your computer wirelessly. The 2000mah battery that comes with the keyboard is also too small. It also dies quickly after frequent input.

In terms of interface and buttons, a switch button is provided at the connection line to facilitate users to switch between Bluetooth and wired modes. Switch to Bluetooth mode and there will be corresponding indicator lights to show battery and Bluetooth connection status. The buttons in this position are very convenient to switch. When you don't want to use a wired connection, you can switch the working state of the keyboard when the typec cable is unplugged.

The back uses a two-stage foot support, which is convenient for users to switch the typing angle. In particular, it is the foot pads behind this keyboard that are praised. Suppose you move the keyboard during use. Moving these floor pads casually these few days can give you an unprecedented sense of luxury, and K600 does a good job in this regard. Since the keyboard purchased by the author is a dual-mode version, this keyboard does not include a wireless receiver. Generally, if there is a wireless receiver, it will be arranged in the foot support by most manufacturers. The author, this keyboard is gone.

The part of the switch body is the yellow switch switch body. Recently, the yellow switch switch body has been seen on the low-priced and high-performance keyboards. The official website only says that it is a custom shaft made by a mechanic, and it does not indicate which shaft it is. So the author doesn't know which OEM it is, and blindly guesses that it is Goto or Leitron.

In terms of the feel of the shaft body, although the shaft body is segmented, the sense of segment is not so obvious. The author often uses a cherry red switch keyboard. Compared with the red switch, the switch body of this keyboard needs a little more force when pressed. The feel is acceptable, and the sound from the keyboard is relatively crisp, and some keys have mahjong sounds. The adjustment of the large keys is good, and there is a pleasant feeling after pressing them. Compared with the keyboards of the same price, this part can be called excellent.

As for the satellite axis, the manufacturer glued it intimately, so it is fixed very well. I probably read the reviews on the Internet. In the early stage, there were a lot of shaking of the large keys on the keyboard, but this model should not have such concerns. It can be seen that the manufacturers still listen to the opinions of consumers.

Large keys and some keys are not bad

In terms of noise, the noise aspect has exposed the defects that should exist at this price-the spring sound is relatively heavy. Of course it's not the keyboard's fault it's my fault. After comparing the cherries of four or five years ago, the author found that the spring sound of the cherry shaft body, which is not usually paid attention to, is also relatively heavy. But the spring sound when it is triggered is perfectly covered by the sound of the button, so it is usually not noticed. But this keyboard is still a bit heavy.

Overall, this keyboard has a super high value, convenient linking method and super value price, as well as some small defects that can be avoided (choose other switches). There is definitely a certain degree of competitiveness at this price, especially for friends who like high-value keyboards. Here, the author also suggests that since the manufacturer has done everything that should be done in the details, it might as well recommend a shaft with a lighter spring sound. If the switch body is replaced with a red switch, it should be a perfect keyboard.

The last keyboard was the Cooler 87 Cherry Blue bought in 2015. It has been in service until recently, and finally retired because of the failure of the keys. Then I looked at the current keyboard circle, only to find that it is very different from the old days. The big f cool that I used to talk about I can't see any of the cold magic duck ikbc, and they are replaced by various domestic keyboards and domestic switches. And the price is much cheaper. At that time, Cooler bought more than 500. Now there are many cost-effective options for 100-yuan keyboards. I also bought a few 100-yuan keyboards during this period. You can compare them horizontally:

The first is the RK R87 green switch. Due to the habit of using it in the past few years, I subconsciously chose the green switch when I bought the keyboard again. The keyboard has been used for many years and the commonly used keys have become fleshy), the big key is a little bit stretchy but fortunately it supports hot swapping, and the cavity sound disappears after replacing the box white switch. The total cost of the keyboard + big key switch is still 100 Within 1 yuan, if you replace the original old keyboard, there is no problem at all, but because I re-focused on the key ring, I saw a lot of videos of listening to typing sounds, so I wanted to try changing the linear axis, so I got the next wolf Way GK85-Golden Axis

This keyboard and the switch body have weak feedback when pressed, and the sound is relatively empty. You can watch the video for reference. , priced at 89, but a week after I bought it, there was a problem with the Z key. There was a malfunction and double-clicking, so I decisively carried out after-sales service. JD.com directly took the new keyboard to me to replace it the next day. Say something. But I don’t want to use it anymore. I went back to Taobao and took a look. The vgn is still on pre-sale. I thought I’d just wait. I’d like to wait for Cooler for another month and then change to vgn. So I made a deposit on the 9th and paid the balance the next day. I didn’t expect it to be on the 14th. Just received it, which was a surprise. I don’t know if it has something to do with the version or the time to pay the final payment. When I paid the final payment, it was 7:00 p.m. on the 10th, and I paid immediately. The version is the 129 power silver shaft. The phantom version of the keycap bought by Yuyu, the typing sound is directly listed below

The feel and hearing feel are nothing to say, I really like it, and it is painless to change from the eight-year-old axis to the linear axis. The performance of the sound and the big keys is also much better than that of the wolf road, of course, the price is also a bit more expensive. The total price of this 129 version of power silver and the replacement of the keycap has reached 150+, but the price/performance ratio is still very good, anyway. Compared with the previous coolness of more than 500, it is really a blast. Of course, I’m not sure whether this keyboard can last for eight years like the original Cooler. During this period of time, I read posts and videos related to key rings and saw many remarks and examples of poor quality control of domestic keyboards, but this kind Things take time to accumulate and get better slowly. At this price, I am willing to give them a chance to try and make mistakes. In short, I am very happy to see the current situation where domestic keyboard roll kings are everywhere. I hope they can continue to maintain it so that everyone can use affordable products.
