I am a peach in Loudong, and I like digital.
The article is not too long, just bookmark it, buy a keyboard together on Double 11.

There has been a long-standing controversy over the issue of "Is it necessary to use a keyboard film for a mechanical keyboard?" I wonder what is the habit of using keyboards? I am more used to adding a layer of transparent keyboard film on the keyboard. On the one hand, it is for anti-fouling (dust, snack crumbs, drinks, etc.), and on the other hand, I am used to the cushioning of the keyboard film. I type with heavy hands, especially some keys... To protect the keyboard and not to hurt my hands . As for whether adding a keyboard film will waste the feel of a mechanical keyboard... I personally think it’s okay. The current TPU keyboard film is not very thick, and it’s all cushioned anyway. I really don’t know the so-called “mahjong sound”. What is the difference between the pad inside the keyboard and the one with the keyboard film in my hand... probably because I am still a rookie.

Of course what we are discussing today is not the keyboard membrane. Isn't this a season change?
People need more clothes, and the keyboard needs to be tidied up and changed.
, Welcome to winter. Today is mainly to share my new keycaps, and by the way, the cleaning and maintenance of the keyboard.

The maintenance of the mechanical keyboard mainly includes the following three aspects:

1. Clean up the fine debris that fell into the keyboard, and remember to cover the keyboard with a cloth or bag when not in use. Dust has an important impact on mechanical switches. From the feedback of using the keyboard, the failure of the keys is caused by the accumulation of dust in the switch.
. When cleaning, remove all the keycaps, brush what should be brushed, and wipe what should be wiped. The tools used are reported as follows, and similar products can also be prepared separately.

※ I personally do not recommend the so-called keyboard cleaning gel.
The gel can only stick things on the surface of the keyboard. Usually, the notebook keyboard can be used casually. For mechanical keyboards, there are all dead corners under the keycaps, which cannot be cleaned at all.

2. Clean the keycaps.
There is nothing too particular about the cleaning of the keycaps. ABS, which is oily, can be washed with a little shampoo mixed with water. For PBT, it can be washed directly with water. If there is a particularly dirty place, use a toothbrush or the like to gently brush it. If you are lazy, you can use an ultrasonic cleaner directly.

3. Lubricate (oil) the mechanical shaft.
Just like a car engine, if you want to use the mechanical shaft longer and more smoothly, oiling and maintenance are indispensable. In fact, this is the most important step in the maintenance of mechanical shafts. However, the shafts I am currently using are all moisturized at the factory, and it has only been used for 2 months since August. It has not yet reached the point where oil needs to be replenished. This step is lazy and saves money. La.

The key points I want to share today! Check out my new keycaps:

The Darling02 keycap produced by Bald Head starts at 99 yuan.

▼

Darling's design is inspired by the character 02 in the 2018 hit animation work "Darling in the Franxx". The dark red color comes from 02's clothing, while the pink color comes from her long pink hair. (Let me see whose wife is this?
▼

02

This set of keycaps is OEM height, the keycaps are opaque, and only part of the letters are transparent. PBT two-color process, it feels smooth to the touch but not as slippery as ABS.

When I got it, it was in a cardboard box. There were 2 layers of plastic boxes with positioning inside. There were a total of 127 keys in a small set, which was considered to be the most conscientious among domestic keycaps. ▼

First remove the original double skin milk keycap. Let's hand it over, a little sense of ritual for a new skin. ▼

By the way, the Shuangpi Nai keycap uses this set:

Because I bought a new kit in August, and it was not very violent when I used it, so it is still 99% new. After the keycaps are removed, I only need to clean up the floating dust that rarely floats in. ▼

Sweep dust with a brush, wipe with alcohol cotton

Speaking of which, is it because I have Gotta Lime in my key switch? A piece of green... actually picked out 2 small green winged insects from it, and I don't know how they flew in.

Take out the keycaps you prepared, and check the quantity you need to use. Don't forget to bring the keycaps of the aunt. ▼

Power on to see the marquee (RGB) effect. ▼

Compared with the transparent keycaps of Shuangpi Nai, only the letters of the Darling keycaps are transparent, slowing down the speed of RGB, and the slow streamer also has its unique and low-key beauty. ▼

In terms of quality, this set of keycaps has some minor flaws, for example, the details of the spray paint on the reverse side are slightly worse. But it's not bad, as long as you can't see it from the front. ▼

In addition, I don't know if it's due to the material or luck, but the big keys in this set of keycaps make a particularly loud and empty reverberation after they are installed. Although this kit has one less shaft underpad than the wolf pie, the double leather milk keycap was used last time, and I didn't bother to remove it again. Continuing with Tao's little trick, I added a medical cotton ball to the keycap of the big key, and after pressing it again, it became much more normal. (After all, I really don’t want to use a screwdriver to modify it for the time being...) ▼

Use cotton padding to reduce the echo of large keys

As for the Darling set of keycaps, it appeared quite early. The Darling from GMK is more famous, but the price persuaded me to leave. Sure enough, when girls buy keyboards, it’s 80% based on their looks. After putting on new keycaps, they feel like they have a new keyboard! Darling's color scheme is really suitable for autumn and winter! It looks warm.

I am a peach in Loudong. I hope the content of this issue is also useful. See you in the next issue.

Dujia’s products have been written several times this year. I feel that their products are not only affordable, but also better and better. Especially the stacking and design of mechanical keyboards have also improved rapidly, and many products have been launched. Very good product. Personally, I still like Dujia products very much. In fact, I have recommended them to many people before.

Recently, Dujia released the GK90 three-mode mechanical keyboard, which happened to be combined with their GM90 mouse, and brought back as a peripheral for the newly installed desktop. By the way, do an unboxing and experience evaluation.

The packaging style of GK90 is obviously different from Dujia’s previous blue, and more gaming elements are incorporated in the outer packaging, which is also Dujia’s innovation in products and outer packaging.

GK90 adopts a 104-key layout, closed two-color PBT keycaps, is equipped with Duga Nebula RGB lighting effect management system, and also has a multimedia control area. The overall interface has e-sports elements, and an RGB light strip area is designed on the left.

A knob is set above the number keys, and the independent aluminum alloy knob can quickly control the volume of the computer system. Still a very good idea, the indicator light area is set on the side.

The switch body adopts a linear optical switch. As an optical switch user, I still like the fast triggering of the optical switch. It will be lighter in terms of the touch of the tap, and ultimately get a faster response speed. Of course, hot swapping is also supported.

The two-color PBT plastic keycap adopts OEM height, and it is still very delicate in terms of workmanship. It will have a good performance in terms of hand feel and oil resistance.

The keyboard in the functional area can also realize quick adjustment of more functions. Of course, users can also perform macro editing on the official software provided by Dujia to realize more personalized function definitions.

Duga's official software is still very powerful. In addition to customizing the functions of the buttons, you can also adjust more rich lighting and sound effects, so as to achieve a more personalized gameplay.

You can understand the GM90 mouse as the supporting equipment of GK90. GM90 has the same design elements and RGB lighting effects. The overall parameters are very good, and the design also has gaming elements.

The 9-button left-handed and symmetrical design is adopted, no matter whether it is left-handed or right-handed, there is no need to worry about the difference in feel, ensuring a good grip.

The 70g lightweight design has a very good parameter guarantee for fast clicking. Moreover, this mouse uses a PMW3327 optical sensor, with a DPI of 6200 and an acceleration of 30g.

In terms of service life, there is a fretting life of 60 million times, so you don't have to worry about problems even if you use it heavily. The departure speed is fast, and there is no need to worry about false touches.

The light effect provided is still very good, in fact, the appearance is still good.

It comes with a split wrist rest, which can meet the long-term use to prevent wrist soreness. Of course, I think the overall appearance is also very coordinated.

The pure black keyboard color scheme is actually very versatile. Of course, if you add RGB lighting effects, the effect will be better.

In addition, Dujia’s lighting effects are still very rich, especially the RGB light strips on the side, which are actually very beautiful at night. Of course, you can also go to the official software of Durga to set it up.

Anyway, there are many lighting modes, and you can experience all the common ones on the market, especially the effect that follows the rhythm of the system sound is really amazing.

Dujia's products are still very good. This set of keyboard and mouse is actually very good with the newly configured computer, especially the simple color matching is in line with my pursuit of a simple desktop. The comprehensive feel of the shaft body and the keycap is also very good, whether it is a game or text input, with the assistance of the wrist rest, you will not be tired even if you work in front of the computer for a day.

With the continued popularity of customized keyboards, more and more keyboard manufacturers have begun to join the battlefield, and customized keyboards that used to be expensive have also begun to be crazily introverted. Nowadays, hundreds of yuan-level customized keyboards are beginning to pour in on the market. Keychron, which was once known as the flower inside the wall and the fragrance outside the wall, has also launched a variety of customized keyboards. The V5 I bought this time is one of them. It supports RGB, hot-swappable, gasket structure, and has a knob, which can be regarded as a relatively mainstream configuration at present. In terms of price, the price of the keyboard is only 458 yuan, and the shaftless and keycap kit is 328 yuan. The price difference between the two is only 120 yuan, so it is naturally more cost-effective to choose a keyboard.

The packaging is quite satisfactory, the whole box is mainly black, the front of the keyboard body is gilded, there is no too cool design, the overall is not bad, and it is also very suitable to be placed on the side of the seat as a decoration.

On the back are pictures of the product and some selling points, but they are all in English. Fortunately, I have passed CET-4 and can understand them.

The internal packaging is relatively elegant, and opening layers is very ceremonial, and the protection is also done relatively well.

In terms of accessories, in addition to the common manual, the same-color C-port cable for the keyboard, USB to Type-C interface, key puller, and shaft puller, there are also additional hexagonal screwdrivers, mac/win replacement keycaps, and a bunch of golden screws. Bits and pieces, it's fairly rich.

V5采用 98% 的布局、全塑外壳和双垫圈设计，外着眼于个性化体验的同时，最大程度上保障打字舒适度。右侧还保留了数字区和一部分功能键，这对于我这种需要大量输入数据的用户来说，太贴心了。V5还支持QMK&VIA开源改键，后期可以根据自身需求更改功能键设置。

This V5 keyboard uses an all-plastic shell with a frosted surface, which is very delicate in appearance and touch, and feels very comfortable to the touch.

On the back of the keyboard, you can see 8 gold-plated screws and 5 foot pads, because the translucent black material is used, and the whole white silicone pad can be seen from the bottom.

There is a certain input angle on the side of the keyboard, which conforms to ergonomics. Even if you don’t use the feet, you can achieve a very comfortable typing feel, and you won’t feel sore wrists after long-term use.

There are two foot supports for the feet, and users can adjust them according to their own needs. Personally, I usually switch to the second foot support when typing at high frequency.

The knob design in the upper right corner is also a very trendy setting in this year's mechanical keyboard circle. You can quickly adjust the volume when using it. Press the knob directly to mute the sound. The knob body uses the same color as the keyboard, which looks absolutely unexpected.

The stepless knob also feels good in the hand, whether it is damping or pressing, you can get a relatively comfortable feedback.

There is a Type-C interface and a wave switch in the upper left corner, which is very convenient for one-key Win/Mac switching.

One-button switch, combined with the included MAC system keycap and dual-use keyboard, is very friendly to many dual-wielding users. After all, the external peripherals have a higher feel than the native keyboard that comes with the notebook. I don’t know where to go.

The switch body is convenient. The V5 comes standard with Keychron’s self-developed K-pro switch. There are three kinds of switch bodies in red, green and tea, which basically cover the needs of most current players. This time I chose the K-pro red switch, the trigger force is 45gf, the trigger stroke is 2mm, and the total stroke is 4mm. At the same time, the transparent shaft cover can also reserve better performance space for RGB.

The full keyboard has a total of 5 PCB satellite axes, and they are installed with screws, which not only increases stability, but also helps users to adjust themselves. The most difficult thing to handle in the keyboard is the few big keys. The performance of the V5's big keys is still very good, and it is definitely at a level that can be used at hand.

Since it is a customized keyboard, it is not easy to disassemble it. Use the included hex wrench to unscrew the 8 golden screws.

Take a look at the structural order of the keyboard while removing it. From top to bottom, there are knobs, keycaps, shafts, upper covers, positioning plates, noise-reducing cotton interlayers, PCB boards, silicone pads, and bottom shells. Each part can be Adjust according to your own habits. If you need more sinking deformation, you can remove the bottom silicone pad.

After disassembling the top cover, you can see that the keyboard uses a Gasket structure inside. There is no rigid connection to the inner tank. Screws are used to fix the upper and lower covers. The interior is fixed by ears + Poron sliver + slotted soft support.

The biggest advantage of using the Gasket structure is that it has a certain degree of deformation inside, and it can also effectively reduce the shell resonance noise caused by typing on the keyboard.

Pull out the shaft body, and you can see the PCB board underneath. There is nothing fancy on the PCB. The RGB design of the lower light position is compatible with tripod shafts and five-pin shafts. Combined with hot-swappable, it can provide users with richer customization options. .

Plug in the data cable and start to experience the keyboard formally.

V5 is a keyboard that supports RGB, and the operation is relatively simple. Press the Fn and Tab keys at the same time to turn on the RGB lighting effect.

The overall RGB lighting effect is still very comfortable, and the default is this kind of faint RGB light when it is turned on.

If you don't like it, the V5 comes with 13 RGB lighting effects, and you can switch the lighting effects by pressing the Fn and Q keys at the same time.

There are 13 kinds of lighting effects that come with it. If you don’t want to toss too much, in fact, so many options are enough. Let’s choose a few to show.

Of course, since it is a user who chooses a customized keyboard, it is natural to focus on tossing. The V5 keyboard supports QMK and VIA, and can custom program each key on the keyboard, from the keyboard layout to shortcut keys and backlight effects. All can be customized, very playable.

Generally speaking, the V5 is an entry-level customized mechanical keyboard with excellent appearance and internal quality. In terms of appearance, Keychron's designers are always online. As for the switch body, for new users with little experience, It can be used without adjustment, which is very suitable for beginners who are interested in customized keyboards.

I changed a new office in the unit, thinking that the previous keyboard was almost at the end of its life, so I decided to take out my small treasury and change a set of keyboard and mouse. After researching on the Internet for a long time, I found that the small matching keyboard is more popular now, but I There is still a need for number keys, so I finally decided to buy a 98-arrangement one. Among the many keyboards, I chose rk98. After all, the price is not very expensive, and it is still affordable.

Let me talk about the advantages first, high cost performance, and online appearance. The switch body does not feel as good as the cherry red switch, it is a little softer, and the layout needs to be adjusted for a while. The white and green color scheme looks good, and the connection is also convenient. It supports Bluetooth and 2.4G receivers, and the test Ubuntu system also supports it. Let me seriously evaluate it. It is super cost-effective and suitable for people who want to get started with machinery in a short time and don't really want to toss.

Compared with the entry-level and retreat mechanical keyboard fl980 and rk980, this keyboard is a good intermediate product. How to get it right in one step, and consider the above model if you don’t want to toss your wallet and have enough budget in the future. If you want to use it better, wait 3-4 years until you have money. Yes, look again, you can consider this one. Single mode is also good and more economical. The last idea is that the yield rate of popular mechanical keyboards is actually a bit problematic. Get it and check it with the next software. If there is no problem, it will be fine. It is recommended that manufacturers can control the quality. There is no problem with this keyboard. The 98 series really has fewer problems in the market due to infringement issues. I like this layout. The price/performance ratio is good. It is enough for office learning and games.

The name "Xuanpai" may not be familiar to most users. In fact, Emdoor Digital, to which Xuanpai belongs, was established in 2002 and has been deeply involved in the PC industry, with nearly a thousand R&D members. Xuanpai is a brand jointly incubated by Emdoor Digital and JD.com. It defines products based on JD.com's big data, so it understands the needs of users better, and the product workmanship is also excellent and solid. Xuanzhixing three-mode mechanical keyboard is the latest keyboard launched by Xuanpai.

So, what is the specific performance of this mechanical keyboard? I hope the following evaluation can give the answer.

Let’s first look at the unpacking of Xuanpai Xuanzhixing’s customized three-mode mechanical keyboard. The outer box is packed in a colored carton:

The color tone of the packaging adopts the iconic green of Xuanjixing, which is in sharp contrast with the orange of Xuanjixing:

Let’s look at the specific details: Xuanpai Xuanzhixing’s customized three-mode mechanical keyboard uses an 84-key layout. Compact and beautiful 75% arrangement, saving 30% space.

The shaft part adopts the relatively well-known Huannuo brand shaft in China, and the service life of a single shaft is 60 million times. This keyboard is available with green switches and red switches, and this time I chose the keyboard with red switches. As a linear axis, the force of the tap trigger is relatively small, and the sound is also relatively soft, which is more suitable for scenarios such as office typing:

The fence of Xuanpai Xuanzhixing's customized three-mode mechanical keyboard is made of all-metal aluminum alloy, which has metallic luster and high-grade touch. Can withstand extreme use and is not afraid of corrosion:

In terms of connection mode, through the switch at the rear, you can switch between three modes, namely two Bluetooth modes, 2.4G wireless and wired modes, and you can quickly switch up to 5 devices. The attached 2.4G transceiver is magnetically attached to the base, easy to take and not easy to lose:

The keyboard has a built-in 2500mAh large-capacity lithium battery, and the charging port is located on the left side of the keyboard. The connection in wired mode is also implemented through this interface:

It is worth mentioning that this keyboard uses PBT keycaps. Compared with ABS keycaps, it is not easy to fade and oily, and the color will last forever. It is the standard configuration of mid-to-high-end keyboards:

Two sets of keycaps bring rich DIY playability:

Looking at the actual experience, the 84-key full key of Xuanpai Xuanzhixing's customized three-mode mechanical keyboard has no conflict, and there is no conflict between pressing multiple keys at the same time:

Support single-key RGB mode, up to 16.8 million colors. There are 20 dynamic lighting effects and 8 colors, and the intensity of the light is also adjustable, which can be set through the App of Xuanpai Keyboard:

In addition, Xuanpai Xuanzhixing's customized three-mode mechanical keyboard uses double-layer sound-proof cotton at the bottom to isolate discordant factors such as cavity sound, and the sense of hearing is even better:

Overall, Xuanpai Xuanzhixing customized three-mode mechanical keyboard is a cost-effective three-mode keyboard with kind materials, excellent workmanship and excellent compatibility.

The overall appearance of the keyboard is also very online, and up to two sets of keycaps are provided for users to DIY, which is very suitable for users who need high-quality mechanical keyboards.
