At present, the most common gaming keyboards in the market and used by players are mainly composed of full-size and TKL, which are keyboards with number pads and keyboards without number pads respectively. However, these two models are not the only options for players. In the peripheral circle, there is also a highly customizable 60% keyboard, which is gradually becoming popular among players. Previously, CORSAIR has launched a mini 60% K65 RGB MINI mechanical keyboard, but it does not support wireless connection. Today, CORSAIR continues to exert its strength and launched a brand new K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard. It not only has 60% of the size of the K65 RGB MINI, but also provides three-mode connection (2.4G wireless + Bluetooth + wired), expanding Player needs. At the same time, the hot-swappable structure also appears on the brand-new keyboard of this K70 series, so that players are no longer limited to the feel of one switch body, and customized party players can also replace the switch body by themselves. Of course, its features are not only that, if you also like this small keyboard, you may wish to learn about this brand new mechanical keyboard with me!

First of all, what is fascinating is its miniature appearance. CORSAIR K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard provides 60% minimalist configuration, which is also the almost smallest size mechanical keyboard we can find on the market. For the needs of most players to use the keyboard, in fact, most users may not use the number pad on the right. Secondly, 60% is equipped with the arrow keys for reduction and the F key on the top, and the usual shortcut key function can also be used by cooperating with the FN combination key. And CORSAIR also thoughtfully engraved the combination key icon on the side of the keycap, which also helps players to reduce the cost of learning the combination key in both games and office fields to a certain extent.

Thanks to the compact layout design, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard has a lighter body. The size of the whole machine is 292x109x40mm, which saves more desktop space under this volume. For the mixed office mode of modern urbanites, it is necessary to equip a keyboard for both home and office. The K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard easily solves this problem for gamers. It can not only be used at home, but its compact size is also convenient to carry it with you, and use it with a laptop or tablet when you go out.

The K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard uses an aluminum alloy panel and frame, and the surface is also anodized and matte sandblasted. The keyboard frame is very narrow, and the entire key deck is framed in this material and molded in one piece, which is why it's so compact.

The wireless mechanical keyboard inherits CORSAIR's unique floating island design to reduce noise (quiet) and reduce finger fatigue. While reducing the key travel, it can reduce the effort of the fingers, and the fatigue will naturally decrease. At the same time, reducing the strength of the wrist can reduce the force of finger tapping. The smaller the finger force, the natural sound will become smaller, and the fatigue will also be reduced.

Through the feet at the bottom, the keyboard can be adjusted for a certain height. On the basis of the original inclination, the inclination angle of the keyboard is further improved, which is beneficial to relieve the fatigue of long-term input.

The K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard has a full-key independent LED programmable RGB backlight, and has added a 360-degree surround light edge with 28 LED lamp beads. After connecting the device, the light is very dazzling, and the gaming atmosphere is overwhelming.

In order to meet the needs of different users, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard supports 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and wired connections. First of all, in terms of wireless, through the USB receiver that comes with the keyboard, it can be compatible with most PCs, Macs, Xbox, PS, Switch and other devices. For the connected device without USB interface, it can also be connected via Bluetooth.

The USB receiver also supports CORSAIR’s Slipstream technology, combined with CORSAIR’s own AXON super-processing technology, from the player’s keystrokes, processing, and transmission to the computer, the speed is 8 times faster than that of traditional keyboards. At the same time, in order to solve the problem of interference during wireless signal connection, the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard also incorporates IFS technology, which automatically searches for the best channel to maintain the best connection stability.

In addition, the rear side of the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard provides a USB Type-C interface to charge the keyboard or use it as a wired keyboard. In terms of battery life, when the RGB light is turned on, it can provide about 32 hours of use time, and it can last up to 200 hours if the RGB light is turned off.

At present, 60% of the keyboards on the market are mostly mechanical switch products, bringing a portable design for players who have requirements. CORSAIR’s K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard uses Cherry MX mechanical switches. Currently, Cherry red switches and Cherry silver switches are officially available. In addition, through the key puller included in the package, we can replace the required mechanical switches by ourselves. For example, replace the WASD keys used for games with Cherry silver switches or silent red switches suitable for games to match different use environment.

For novice players, CORSAIR provides a wealth of shaft options, so there is no need for secondary adjustments or shaft changes. In addition, because the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard adopts a full-key hot-swappable structure and is compatible with mainstream tripod and pentapod switches, it is very convenient for veterans to customize and replace key switches later.

Generally speaking, mechanical keyboards have a long service life, and the design of replaceable mechanical switches can further extend the usable time of the keyboard. Therefore, another appeal of players is the requirement for keycaps. The keycaps of the K70 PRO MINI wireless mechanical keyboard use PBT double-shot injection molding (Double-Shot Pro). In addition to reducing the occurrence of discoloration, its frosted surface can also increase the feel and effectively prevent it from being damaged due to rapid movement during the game. Mis-pressing occurs due to the position of the finger.

I talked about AXON super processing technology above, so let me talk about its benefits in detail. I think that in PC competitive games, the most influential thing for players is speed. It is often a momentary delay, which may mean victory or defeat. The 8000Hz return rate brought by the AXON technology of the K70 RGB Pro Mini wireless mechanical keyboard can recognize every key press no matter how fast you type. Compared with 1ms of traditional 1000Hz mechanical keyboard, the speed is 8 times faster, which is very useful in games.

Although in actual operation, these data cannot be directly quantified, and ordinary players may not be able to detect the difference between 1000Hz and 8000Hz, but for hardcore gamers who pursue the ultimate experience, it will be possible to eliminate hardware limitations as much as possible. Give them a head start on game responsiveness.

It should be noted that CORSAIR pointed out in the product manual and iCUE4 software that the high rate of return of AXON super-processing technology will increase the load on the CPU. On computers with non-flagship configurations, it is not recommended to turn on the high return rate for a long time in games with heavy loads, otherwise problems such as lag may occur after a long game time. At the same time, the CORSAIR official also gave a suggested configuration for players to use as a reference.

Still, I wanted to see if the different reward rates would produce significantly too much CPU load, so I tested CPU load and power consumption at all reward rates. By testing on my i7-12700K+3080Ti computer, and using a USB multimeter to test (it is worth mentioning that the power consumption test is performed with the keyboard RGB light off, otherwise it will affect the current test). The result is that the CPU usage or power consumption is very small, which will not affect the normal game experience.

CORSAIR iCUE4 is its latest driver software, the software is very friendly in design and easy to use. Players can use iCUE4 to set the functions of CORSAIR products, such as adjusting parameters or setting personalized RGB lighting effects.

1. 60% compact layout design, lightweight and does not take up space on the desktop, and is also very suitable for carrying out.

2. Three-mode connection (2.4G+Bluetooth+wired), which meets the needs of different players and has wider applicability.

3. Provide mainstream Cherry switches and hot-swappable solutions to increase playability and practicality. Novices and veterans can play with different feel.

At the same time, it is equipped with a 4000Hz key scanning rate, and can support up to 20 layers of hardware RGB lighting processing while maintaining a high rate.

5. Full-key independent LED programmable RGB backlight, 360-degree surround light edge, igniting the gaming atmosphere.

6. 8MB onboard storage, through CORSAIR iCUE4 software, the keyboard can store up to 50 combined configuration files.

Logitech has recently unveiled a range of keyboard and mouse combinations specifically designed for Apple users. The new lineup includes the MX Mechanical Mini...

Recently, with the arrival of Double Eleven, I bought a cool keyboard. Of course, I decided to buy it after thinking for a long time. I was very surprised when I saw this keyboard, but after the surprise, I was afraid of myself. I can't control it, because the color of this keyboard is very cool, but after a lot of struggle, I decided to start, after all, I haven't used such a cool keyboard yet.

And this keyboard is the FS98 mechanical keyboard of Shuangfeiyan's Feishidai trendy product, and this keyboard is still the same as "This! It is the joint name of Hip-Hop 5, of course, the color matching of this keyboard is also the same as that of "This! The teams in "Street Dance" match (Yibo Wang Zha, Attitude Master, Lucky Team and Quanxin Force) and I started with the color scheme of the Lucky Team. This color scheme is also the coolest one in my opinion. What is it? Cool method, let's talk together below.

unpack

There is basically no prominent design on the outer packaging of the Flying Times keyboard, but this time the packaging feels thicker to the touch. There are two words "This! It's Hip-hop" and "Flying Times" printed on the top of the box. A small logo, and on the left is the model of the keyboard, and the four more prominent four parameter configurations below. On the back, Flytimes are "Master Custom Switch", "Independently developed CAO Trendy Keycap", "Trendy Play A detailed explanation of the three configurations of Master Exclusive Customization.

After opening the box, the cool appearance first attracted me. Although there is a plastic film on the top of the keyboard, this cannot stop the cool color matching of this keyboard. After taking out the keyboard, its accessories are also exposed , accessories are quite rich.

Accessories: USB cable, small stickers for the four teams, plus replaceable keycaps, shaft puller, manual/warranty card, function introduction card

Exterior

In terms of appearance and layout, this keyboard of Flying Times adopts a layout of 98 keys. Compared with the common 108-key position, the 98-key position is obviously more compact. Although it becomes tighter, Flying Times did not abandon the small keyboard. Although looking at the small keyboard does not do much, it is still very convenient to use the small keyboard in daily use. I personally like the small keyboard very much.

There are four different color schemes in Shangfei Era. As mentioned earlier, the four different color schemes correspond to four different teams, and what I got was the "Lucky Team" color scheme. The overall color is blue and purple. In my opinion, this color scheme is also the coolest color. Of course, in addition to the color scheme, Flytimes has also designed a lot of patterns for the keycaps. The rich keycaps and its cool color matching With RGB lighting, don't mention how good-looking it is.

Of course, in addition to the front, Flying Times also has a different design on the back. For example, the Type-C interface is separated from the keyboard. The three-way cable management design makes it more convenient and free to appear, and will not bend the wire to shorten its life. Of course, Flytimes also added the design of hydrophobic holes to facilitate the natural flow of liquid, which is unprecedented in this regard. In addition, the design of the two-stage foot support can be adjusted according to your daily use habits. Of course, the feet The support is also detachable, which is convenient for later replacement.

daily use

All the keyboards of Flying Times use the customized red switch of Master F1. This customized switch has undergone a lot of adjustments. After the adjustment, its feel and reaction speed will give you a different experience. Of course This also makes it have a total stroke of 4mm and a trigger stroke of 2.0mm. The most powerful thing is that the life of this shaft has reached 80 million times, so that the life of the keyboard will also increase accordingly.

In addition, this shaft also supports hot swapping. If you are not used to the shaft that comes with Feishiera, you can replace it with a set of your own shaft to further improve your feel. Of course, it is also compatible. The interchangeability of three-legged and five-legged mechanical switches on the market allows you to customize a keyboard with your own feel.

In addition to the shaft body, CAO's self-customized cut-off keycap design is also very worth mentioning. Compared with our usual keycap design, the design of the cut-off keycap has a further improvement in tactility. Of course, in the case of PBT+ABS With the combination, it can not only optimize the particle-like layer on the surface, but also solve the problem of oiling on the keycap while having high light transmittance.

Of course, the light transmission of the keycap is also very good. Of course, when you turn on the RGB lighting effect, the light will shine on every character. Even if you use it in a dark environment, you can see it clearly at a glance. In addition to lighting , Flytimes also built 12 sets of RGB lighting effects for it, making its keyboard more cool. In addition, pressing Fn+8 can activate the team lighting effect.

Of course, this keyboard is undoubtedly the best in terms of games and office work, especially when typing on the keyboard, it can always give you feedback quickly, like when I usually type, it can be played at any time. , The sensitive response speed makes me put it down.

1000Hz full-speed transmission, he can respond with the fastest response after pressing, 8 times happier than ordinary keyboards, when I play games, he can always surprise me, especially when playing some gun games Sometimes, a sensitive response can always be one step faster, of course, this must also have a response speed of 1 millisecond, so that your operation is always one step faster than others.

Summarize

As "This! Fei Times!" The co-branded keyboard of "Street Dance" not only integrates the elements of each team, but also gives you the most perfect hand feeling experience, as "This! If you are a loyal fan of Hip-hop, you will regret it if you don’t start with a keyboard like this. Of course, this keyboard can be regarded as a lot of configurations, such as the red switch customized by Master F1, the cut-angle keycap design customized by CAO and other configurations.

The keyboard and mouse of the computer at home have been used for a long time, and they are a bit old, so I looked for it online when there was a discount on Double Twelve. I changed to a set of Bluetooth keyboard and mouse with better cost performance, and later found this set of Lenovo Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I feel that the cost performance is relatively high, so I recommend it to everyone.

There are too many wireless mice and keyboards on the Internet now, so I chose Lenovo later. Why choose Lenovo? Anyway, I feel that Lenovo is still an old brand, and the quality of his products must be guaranteed!

The Bluetooth keyboard and mouse produced by Lenovo are relatively stable in black. This is what I value more. The keyboard is relatively light and thin, because it is refreshing and there is no sense of stagnation. The size of the mouse absorbs my hand this job for many years and it is more comfortable to use. And the left and right keys are also very refreshing.

You can buy a bluetooth mouse and keyboard of a big brand for less than 100 yuan, which I also think is very good value.

Miwu, for me, this brand is also an acquaintance.

I used the previous ART Z680 for nearly a year, which is enough to prove my love for this product. It was not until more and more software such as PS was used in the previous period that the frequent use of shortcut keys for 68 keys was a bit dwarfed, so I changed the configuration. full keyboard.

During the period, I also experienced the Z680cc, which I called the "Youth Edition", and the Xiaomi wired mechanical keyboard manufactured by Miwu as an ecological chain brand. Afterwards, I gave away these two, and my friends gave them very good reviews.

Overall, it is a very good experience at the same price. Miwu, as an ecological chain enterprise endorsed by Xiaomi, will not have quality problems after a short period of use like some unknown small factories.

With the previous experience, this time I bought the handsome rice thing BlackIO 83.

For this brand new series, the official definition is: Black, which represents mystery, high-end, and exploration of the unknown, combined with the IO channel of connection, openness, and digital world, gave birth to the #BlackIO series.

The target users are mavericks, geek lovers who do their own way, designers who pursue the ultimate pursuit...they are groups who are not satisfied with the status quo and bravely break through themselves.

Let's unpack and inspect the goods before we talk.

BlackIO 83 is a high-end product with a geek style. The whole packaging box is black and simple, but it is different from the entry-level Z680cc. The inner layer of the Z680cc is corrugated paper, and the BlackIO 83 is the same as the mobile phone packaging box. This kind of coated paper is high-end and high-end.

The big "IO" logo in the middle of the front, the product name of "BLACKIO 83" below, the product slogan of "ANY THING YOU WANT", and the brand LOGO of Miwu "MIIIW" are all treated with rainbow reflection.

In the lower right corner, there are four product characteristic marks with black reflection, and the words "COLOR: #00000080".

On the side is the brand LOGO of Miwu "MIIIW".

On the back of the box, six product features and product information stickers are distributed in the lower left position.

The packaging box is designed to be pulled up and down. In order to protect the keyboard, the keyboard is wrapped in a protective bag, the keyboard is covered with a protective film, and there is a sponge cushion on the inside of the top cover of the box.

In addition to the main keyboard, there are quick operation guides, instruction manuals, and accessories are placed in a separate black carton.

The accessory box includes a USB Type-A to Type-C data cable about 1.7m long, a two-in-one key puller, and 8 replacement keycaps—two OPT (option) keys, two The CMD (command) key is a replacement for Mac users, along with the translucent four-way arrow.

Dangdangdangdang~Look at the protagonist's keyboard.

Let's talk about the layout and size first.

First of all, the 83-key arrangement is just right for me. I reluctantly replaced the ART Z680 some time ago because it was not enough.

At the same time, BlackIO 83 strikes a certain balance between looseness and compactness. Not all keys are stacked together, but a certain interval is made between the main four functional areas, which can be easily distinguished even by blind typing. The position of the button area reduces the chance of accidental touch.

Of course, this also makes BlackIO 83 slightly larger than other keyboards with around 83 keys. I think this size arrangement does not have too much consideration for "convenience". It is not for you to take it out and use; it is not 100% The full key arrangement is more to remove the infrequently used function keys and reduce unnecessary desktop space occupation, but without sacrificing the practicality of input.

In terms of appearance, as the BlackIO series, of course it must be Black—the overall black translucent design is not as eye-catching as many fully transparent keyboards. At first glance, it looks low-key and steady black. The fn layer symbol uses bright cyan, which fits this geek style, and the transparent elements can only be seen after a little closer inspection.

Good design connects—as Jobs insisted, a really good carpenter will make the back of a cabinet as beautiful as the front.

It seems that geeks always have a paranoid pursuit of transparency. Whether it is Apple's first-generation iMac or the transparent exploration version of Xiaomi mobile phones that Mi fans are fanatical about, this translucent design brings users closer to the internal design. , will also have a higher process difficulty.

In fact, Miwu has tried a transparent keyboard before. The upper cover of the ART Z980 adopts a translucent design, but the keycap is still opaque, and the interior can only be appreciated through the frame and side.

But this time it goes a step further, the entire button part is made transparent, which means that every button has to consider how to be transparent.

The first is the transparent keycap. The PC material makes the texture of the entire black keycap uniform and transparent. If you look closely, there is a little bronze in it.

This kind of keycap is actually a bit controversial in terms of touch. Compared with most traditional keycaps, it will be slightly sticky, and the surface will be more prone to fingerprints.

But looking good is the last word. For me personally, I find it completely acceptable after getting used to it.

The keycaps of the arrow keys have been electroplated, and the surface is reflective, colliding with other keycaps, showing a different and harmonious metal texture. If you don't like it, you can also replace it with the included transparent keycap.

The character symbols of the arrow keys are hollowed out, and the key lights will show through here.

As for the internal shaft body, Kaihua fully transparent jellyfish shaft is selected, and the entire shaft body is transparent except for the metal pins. Both the keycap and the shaft body are detachable and support hot-swappable replacement.

Light transmission is very good.

Remove the shaft body, you can see that the lower positioning plate is also transparent, but with a frosted texture, you can vaguely see the parts below.

The space bar says "Innovation in the Open" product slogan, which means innovation in the open, echoing the open source freedom and appearance innovation of this keyboard.

The upper left corner protruding from the top is the indicator area, which are the indicators of power, capitalization, and connected devices (Bluetooth 1/2/3/2.4G).

On the right side of the front side, facing the direction key area, there are Miwu "MIIW" Logo and BLACKIO series Logo, see also "COLOR:#00000080", this color code is no stranger to programmers, in CSS The language actually corresponds to the translucent design of the keyboard.

The left part, corresponding to the position of CTRL and WIN key (OPT key), is five signs representing the characteristics of the keyboard.

将键盘转过来，这背面一侧靠左部分分布着按钮开关和接口，分别是电源键、三模连接切换（有线/2.4G&蓝牙无线模式）、系统适配切换（WIN/MAC）USB Type-C接口。

The power button is rebound and self-locking. Press the button down to turn on, and press the button again to pop up the power to turn off. The other two switches are toggled left and right.

On the right side of the switch interface area is the long-overdue USB 2.4G receiver storage slot. Both the Z680 and Z680cc lacked the storage slot before, and it is easy to lose the 2.4G receiver. On BlackIO 83, the receiver can be The device is stored here.

The right half is a "self-report" of the same Geek style: "IT RUNS QMK ON THIS DEVICE." This device supports running QMK~

Viewed from the side, different function key areas are distinguished by different heights of the keycaps, which reduces the chance of incorrect input.

Flip to the bottom, among the horizontal lines and concave-convex textures, there is a sticker with product information in the upper middle. The two-section feet on the left and right sides can provide three different keyboard angles, and each section of the feet has a foot pad. There are 8 screws and 5 foot pads distributed at intervals around it.

How can such a handsome keyboard lack RGB lights?

Southbound RGB lights, the official claims to provide a constantly updated QMK light effect library.

At present, there are more than 40 kinds of switches through buttons, including single-color/two-color/multi-color, static/dynamic, constant light/interactive and other forms.

If you don't like fancy things, you can also choose a single color yourself. After the light is turned off, the appearance advantage brought by the transparent shell will increase sharply.

I mentioned the touch of the keycaps earlier, let’s talk about the feel.

The Kaihua transparent jellyfish axis on the BlackIO 83 is a linear axis. With the Gasket structure, it feels smooth, and the triggering force is moderate. There is no obvious tired feeling when coding and coding for a long time.

Under the action of the internal double-layer silicone mute pad, the sound is not loud, crisp but not particularly crisp, and has a feeling of being suppressed at the end. It is quite tricky, suitable for the office, and will not disturb others too much. Steal a structural diagram from an overseas official website for everyone to see.

As for the biggest open source highlights of this keyboard - VIA key change support and QMK support, it has been introduced in the experience of other keyboards before.

Just use a Chromium-based browser to open the usevia.app website, authorize access to HID devices, import the json configuration file of the keyboard on the DESIGN page, and then you can freely customize the key positions and lighting effects, and what operation any key corresponds to. All can be highly customized according to your habits and preferences.

At the same time, it also supports the definition of 10 macro keys, which can not only directly write QMK key codes, but also provide a more friendly recording method.

QMK corresponds to the underlying system firmware of the keyboard. If you have the programming ability, you can even flash the keyboard to add the operations and functions you want.

In addition, the keyboard supports full key without punching, simply press a wave to test it.

In terms of battery life, 4000mAh is considered a relatively large battery capacity in mechanical keyboards. After all, there are 2000mAh but more expensive transparent mechanical keyboards.

Personally, I like the sense of security brought by the large battery mechanical keyboard. Wireless connection such as Bluetooth is a very cool experience, but it adds to the burden of charging. powerful. Officials say that BlackIO 83 can achieve more than 200 hours of battery life.

Of course, it takes a little longer to charge a large battery. The full charging time takes about 3 hours, and the power is within 5W.

As a high-end product of Miwu, BlackIO 83 is carefully designed in details, and the overall configuration is relatively bucket. The price of 699 yuan is already high-end in its own product line.

Previously, many transparent mechanical keyboards tended to use full transparency to face the female market, but BlackIO 83 captured the love of geeks with the sense of technology created by black translucence, which made a good difference.

Compared with the above, compared with the transparent keyboards such as Luofei and Numeow, which cost thousands of times, it is full of sincerity and full of cost performance;

In contrast, the halo of the Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise is precisely the brand, traffic, after-sales service and product strength advantages of Miwu. There are almost no bigger brands of cheaper transparent mechanical keyboards.

There are a few friends around me who have bought some well-known mechanical keyboards from small factories, but problems such as key failure occurred within a few months. The Miwu mechanical keyboards I have experienced, whether it is entry-level or high-end, use a Over a year easily.

At the same time, although there are disadvantages such as easy to stick fingerprints, this is something that almost the entire transparent keyboard category needs to face together. Just like a beautiful woman must dress up and make up, transparent keyboards also need to be cleaned and renewed frequently.

If you are not a Virgo with obsessive-compulsive disorder, you don’t care about this at all, and the Miwu BlackIO 83 is completely worth buying.
