foreword It can be said that there are more and more people engaged in the Internet industry now. Computer office is already inseparable. Daily communication is done through keyboard typing. As time goes by, it is obvious that the key layout of the keyboard seems to have unreasonable problems. In addition to the low typing efficiency, the wrist is also prone to soreness. After all, I am also a heavy keyboard user. In order to fundamentally improve typing efficiency and relieve wrist joint pain, the conventional keyboard can no longer meet the needs. This is why I think the X-Bows Lite ergonomic mechanical keyboard is worth starting. Because this keyboard was designed with comfortable operation in mind, it is quite different from conventional keyboards. personal experience The X-Bows Lite ergonomic mechanical keyboard provides a variety of switches. After all, in addition to codewords, games are also a part of daily life. Personally, I tend to choose brown switches. The pressure to trigger the keys is moderate, and the stroke is also sufficient. Whether it is playing games or working, it is a good compromise choice. In addition, it is also equipped with a palm rest, which can alleviate the joint pain caused by long-term use of the keyboard to the greatest extent. The choice of a variety of switches allows me to choose. The floating button feedback of this tea switch is straightforward, and it can also bring a little knocking sound. The feeling of real-time feedback is very strong. Although it is designed with 86 keys, all keys support custom programming, and commonly used combination keys can also be freely defined. Why do I need to use the X-Bows Lite ergonomic mechanical keyboard? Because the key layout of the conventional keyboard is unreasonable. After all, it is the design of an old-fashioned typewriter, which is prone to frequent accidental touches, and the wrist is always pushed up, and the joints will be subtly damaged. The split design of the X-Bows Lite ergonomic mechanical keyboard allows the wrist to maintain a neutral position on the horizontal and vertical planes without upward or downward bending, thereby reducing the occurrence of carpal tunnel syndrome. Whether it is an office crowd or a game player, long-term key operations can relieve wrist pressure to the greatest extent. As far as I know, the thickness of the keyboard has actually reached the extreme. In addition to passive changes in gestures to solve joint damage, height is also an influencing factor. If the thickness of the front edge of the keyboard exceeds 50mm, it will cause the wrist to rise too much, which will increase the load on the hand. In order to maintain a suitable 30mm or so, it is necessary to cooperate with the X-Bows palm rest if necessary. X-Bows breaks the conventional design. The operation areas of the left and right hands can be independent of each other, forming a triangular area in the middle, which fits the natural curve of both hands at the desk, and can relieve the pressure on the knuckles and wrist joints even in the state of long-term coding. At the same time, the keyboard supports the Fn combination key function, commonly used shortcuts such as search, calculator, and email. For professionals, the combination key can directly access these functions, greatly improving office efficiency. Like most mechanical keyboards, X-Bows supports free disassembly and assembly of the keycaps. With the included key lifter, it can be easily disassembled, cleaned or replaced. The connection design of the wire is also split, which is easy to store and easy to carry when going out. . The backlight that the mechanical keyboard should have is also reserved. The light effect mode can be switched through the Fn combination key on the keyboard. There are 16 built-in light effects, which make playing games more atmospheric. Summarize As an ergonomic keyboard, the positioning of X-Bows is very clear, the focus is to solve the problem of wrist joint damage, and secondly, it can reduce a certain amount of typing errors. Although it will be a bit uncomfortable to use at the beginning, this type of keyboard will have to be accepted passively sooner or later. After all, as a long-time keyboard user, the comfort of codewords is related to one's own interests. Most people may think that this type of ergonomic keyboard looks strange, but as long as you can take the first step to experience it yourself, you can feel the relaxation of your wrist during use.

I did buy a lot of keyboards in 2022. In the last article, I took stock of the six keyboards in the first half of the year, and then I will talk about a few keyboards from the second half of the year until the end of the year. If you haven't read the previous article, you can review it. The 98 patent incident still came. Akko put 3098b, which was previously involved in patent issues, on its own applet. 299 was cleared, and I followed the car to grab one. I said I snatched it, but in fact, the two colors of 9009 and princess dolls were gone early in the morning, so I took another color that no one wanted-Ocean Star. For this keyboard, 299 is really worth it. The jelly white axis is a light pressure linear axis, and its quality is very good. It feels soft and smooth, and it has the quality of more than one piece. The colorway of Ocean Star. Although it is not easy to match the keycap, it is still very good-looking. With the addition of three-mode and RGB, it is really worth it at 299. Perhaps the biggest disadvantage is that although the sandwich cotton is advertised, the sound is still relatively empty. If you like the sound, you have to deal with it further. But for me, the price is cheap, it looks good, and it feels good in the hand, it's already pretty good. During this period of time, I don't know what the wind is, and I suddenly want to make a mess. Obviously waiting for a few more months, the 399 Magic Geek M1 will be released, but unfortunately I didn't know it at the time. I ran all the way across the city to buy this KeychronQ1, and it was raining, but I was still very happy at that time. Keychron's products are really good, and the packaging gives you a sense of value, and even provides an aviation plug-in cable. The original phantom yellow switch is the G Yellow Pro color changer. After writing this, I found out why I like G Yellow Pro so much. It turns out that I have used so many G Yellow Pros this year. 75% of the Gasket knobs are made of aluminum, and every move hits the key points of the market. Therefore, as a keyboard with a sound of nearly 1,000 yuan and flaws in the first release, the popularity of Q1 has not been low. Although the sound is widely criticized, but fortunately I am not a sound party. The original phantom yellow, coupled with a set of Affie SA green screen, is still on the main keyboard of my desktop. At the end of the year, I suddenly became able to toss around a lot. I got a Dareu A84 in Xianyu City. It looks very Iraqi, the keycap is dirty, and an 8-key is broken-I became a trash guy again. When I got home, I disassembled the eight pieces, and washed the keycaps, positioning boards, and shells with water. Remove the PCB, solder the fallen shaft seat, and it is a good keyboard again. It's a pity that the price of 200 yuan can't give me TTC Flame Red. The seller matched it with ash wood v3. The hull structure, ordinary workmanship, and ordinary shaft body, after cleaning up, the ordinary one also lost its role of bringing me fun, and lay quietly in the box. The mixed key circle still has to keep up with the trend. Although I don’t pursue sound and don’t rush for vgn98, it is still necessary to get a better buy from the K980. I have to admit the progress of today's mass production manufacturers. Although the mold is old-fashioned, the three-mode RGB hot-swappable, one-piece mold opening silicone pad, and BOX axis V2 are also placed at the price of 399. Most of this article comes from this Micon K980. Although the BOX red is cheap, it is still very easy to use. With the Micon K980, the sound is indeed very solid. Recently, I stocked up on a lot of dry batteries, and suddenly wanted a keyboard with dry batteries, so I thought of Gauss. The HS98T Pro kit I bought just arrived in my hands, and I haven't had time to install it yet. This keyboard may not be available until 2023. The texture of the knob is average, and the fretting PageUP and PageDown keys are very innovative. The above are the keyboards I have used in 2022. I said a few words on each keyboard, and finally wrote more than 3,000 words. I hope that in 23 years, there will be more outstanding products in the key ring, and more keyboards suitable for everyone. I also wish you a happy new year.

The keyboard in my hand, at a glance, feels like the one on a notebook, the keycap is not high, the keys are compact, and the layout is square. This shape reminds me of early lenovo and thinkpad Because ordinary mechanical keyboards are big, heavy and thick, if you want to choose a thin, small and light one, it is difficult to find the right one. Then I found this low-axis one, and I built one, nuphy air75 three-mode keyboard A low-axis mechanical keyboard with 75 layouts and 84 keys is basically half the height of a normal mechanical keyboard, with a height of 16mm and a length of 31cm The middle frame is made of aluminum alloy. There is a light bar on each side of the front of the keyboard. The rear side is for switching between windos and mac, bluetooth and 2.4, and wired three-mode switching. The typec port is not plugged into the 2.4 receiver because of the size of the body. Into the fuselage, it's a bit unnatural The back cover is ABS translucent, when the RGB lighting effect is turned on, the back cover is also transparent With four long foot pads and magnetic foot supports, it is not too high. In the middle is a mirrored metal nameplate, which can be used as a mirror When you are typing, you suddenly want to shave, pop acne on your face, put on makeup, etc., it is still enough, needless to say the purpose of the mirror, The overall texture is good, the foundation is very pleasing to the eye The key cap is PBT, which is frosted like the shell, but it feels smoother. I can’t tell its up and down except for the characters, so when I look at the direction keys, I just put it on. It comes with keycaps for windows and mac, and the official driver can also change the key position. This keycap is also opaque, but the bottom of this keyboard is still very good-looking. Change to a short chocolate keycap that is light-transmitting. It should improve the appearance. Quality improvement, of course, regular height keycaps can also be used for replacement In addition, it also comes with three Jiadalong green switches, tea switches, and red switches. I chose the red switch, and the key stroke is very short. Except for the brittle feeling between the big keys, the overall sound is more wooden. click sound, I might prefer the red switch, but the short switch may feel better than the green switch, because there is a segmented feedback and a more mechanical feel, but the sound is too obvious. Except for the space bar, its shaft is very difficult to pull out. I almost thought it was welded, and I didn't dare to pull it out at first, but it supports hot swapping, which requires a lot of effort. Moreover, when its shaft is pulled out, it is left and right. It is not compatible with the shaft body of the regular height, so pay attention when changing the shaft The keyboard body itself is light and thin, there is no sandwich cotton, and there is no bottom cotton. Open the upper case to find the pcb board and 2500 mAh battery The weight of the whole machine is relatively light, one catty, it is very suitable for business trips, carry it with you, it can be placed on the notebook and covered with the original keyboard to enhance the feel Comes with 2D stickers, official driver can set keys and control lights The appearance and potential appearance are high, and the appearance is also very neutral. It takes into account the portability of the membrane keyboard and the feel of the mechanical keyboard. When I first started, I felt that the appearance was not so amazing, but when I thought it was an aluminum shell + transparent back cover, I became more and more excited. The more pleasing to the eye, change to a chocolate translucent keycap later
