Question 1. The common material of the pad under the shaft can basically pass through with a touch

Question 2. The most difficult thing is to adjust the key and various lubrication assemblies

Question 3. The best thing to look for is a shaft body that supports hot swapping, so that it is easy to replace

Question 4. What is the recommended keycap for the keyboard?

Mechanical keyboards are becoming more and more popular among players, and they are gradually transforming their own keyboards from the most basic use to customized DIY keyboards. The choice of mechanical keyboards has its own advantages and disadvantages. It has its own choices and opinions in terms of keycaps, shafts, appearance, design, materials, etc. of the keyboard. After playing so many keyboards, I still like retro keyboards.

The James Donkey brand can be regarded as a clear stream in peripherals. The product is extremely cost-effective and the product quality is also well received. I recently learned about its three-mode hot-swappable cheap donkey A3 mechanical keyboard. 75 configurations + full-key hot-swappable, high-value new fancy color, and has a super high cost performance among keyboards with the same configuration, let's find out together!

First of all, in terms of packaging design, the cheap donkey A3 keyboard does not adopt a cool design, but a simple and simple white packaging box with hand-painted effect patterns to highlight the unique characteristics of the keyboard. The product's brand LOGO and English introduction are printed on the package.

When you open the box, you can see that the keyboard is wrapped in plastic to prevent dust from entering. It can be seen in the accessories of the overall keyboard that it is very comprehensive and rich. It mainly includes key puller, shaft puller, screwdriver, wrench, data cable and rubber pad, and the manual consists of several parts. These accessories and tools are enough for customized players. The disassembly and maintenance of the daily keyboard becomes very simple and easy.

The moment I got the keyboard, I was also impressed by the retro delicacy. The white color of the keyboard is not pure white, but some gray and milky white. It looks more delicate with the red font on the keycap and the red keycap.

There is a red metal multimedia button on the upper right of the keyboard. It is designed through CNC anodizing process, supports volume control, and can also be customized through the driver software. The control is very advanced.

The cheap donkey A3 supports wired, 2.4G, and Bluetooth three-mode connection methods. No matter which method you use, it is very convenient. There is a switch in the rear part to select the mode, and the C port next to it can be used for both charging and wired connection. Moreover, in the wired and 2.4G mode, the keyboard can achieve full key without punching, so you don't have to worry about typing too fast and the key conflicts.

The bottom support of the keyboard adopts a double-stage design, and the height can be adjusted according to your own experience during daily use, and the bottom also has a solid rubber non-slip foot pad, which makes the keyboard more stable when used, and the typing experience is also better. good.

The cheap donkey A3 mechanical keyboard adopts the Gasket pro structure design, which is optimized and upgraded on the Gasket structure, so as to have a better soft elastic structure. The keyboard has a built-in EVA sound-absorbing cotton, which is filled in the gaps, effectively offsetting the cavity sound of the shaft hitting the positioning plate, so as to have a better sense of hearing and feel. This is also the effort made by the cheap donkey brand.

The design of the keycap part is really unique. The two-color injection molded PBT keycap is milky white on the outside and red on the inside. This is the strength of the product, and it cares about details and quality. The structural design of the entire keyboard and keycaps is very ergonomic. Whether it is the curvature of the keycaps, the slope, or the angle design of each keycap, it is designed to fit the belly of the finger, and the percussion is comfortable and does not hurt the hand.

Customized keyboards must of course have unique switches and hot-swappable switches. The cheap donkey A3 keyboard has 2 switch bodies: Jiadalong G Silver Pro2.0 and Jiadalong G White Pro2.0. The one I started with is the white switch, and friends who want to customize it later can start according to their own needs. New shaft. The keyboard is equipped with a hot-swappable shaft seat, compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts, suitable for most mechanical shafts on the market, and can be quickly switched by DIY in the future.

The Chilu A3 mechanical keyboard not only supports customization, but also has definable 16.8 million RGB lighting colors. You can adjust the exclusive lighting effect system through the driver software and customize your own lighting show, especially at night. effect experience.

After this period of experience, the cheap donkey A3 mechanical keyboard really made me feel a different experience, from the appearance design of the product, the 75% arrangement ratio, to the customized keycap shaft body, noise reduction structure design and RGB lighting performance, this keyboard is definitely the first choice for keyboard customization players. If you also like customized mechanical keyboards, Chilu A3 three-mode wireless mechanical keyboard, you can give priority to it, it will definitely meet your needs!

The CAD that was previewed in June last year finally landed successfully recently!

Retro: ND REDRAW cad-Ver丨Retro: no redraw cad version

I really don't want to draw anymore

This keycap is a software-themed keycap designed by Headphone Fox, the designer of INKY Studio, inspired by the drawing tool CAD.

"The main theme expresses the sense of retro, supplemented by CAD elements, adjusted by drawing dog's daily work stalk"

Color matching:

Use light gray and light yellow-white as the base color of the keycap, match with black characters, supplemented by dark green, light green, light yellow, bright yellow, orange yellow and orange as root embellishments to add brightness, the overall tone looks retro, In fact, it is quite modern, fresh and natural, full of vitality, and at the same time, the overall contrast is strong, and the root effect is outstanding.

Personality section:

The personality of this set of keycaps is mainly focused on the root position of the keycaps, and some shortcut keys and tricks have been made. Among the pattern personality, the most eye-catching one is the head of the angry cat.

Resin personality:

Resin personality crafted from a hammer and a fun, angry cat head.

Personal Rating: 7—9

Retro tone, but not old-fashioned, the embellishment of the big green key makes the overall vitality, the essence of the angry cat head, but there is one thing that is a pity, it would be better if the font part can also be adapted to the theme, and the original DMK is used The font on this set of keycaps is still a bit of a show.

Purchase suggestion: 500 sets are sold out

The retro gray and white base is still very versatile, and it is a good choice to match milky white and silver.

GMK

The old group purchases have been shipped one after another, and it is not known whether the follow-up products can speed up the output.

Blot blood sacrifice

swear by blood

This keycap is designed by the designer MANU, inspired by the Nordic blood sacrifice ceremony. The designer also designed DMK eraser before.

"In the cloud of blood, make an oath."

Color matching:

This is a set of solid-color keycaps. A red color with obvious wine red characteristics is selected, which can be said to be dark red, deep wine red or brown red. Compared with the color of blood, this color is deeper and more saturated, with a mysterious feel.

Radical:

The theme is inspired by the blood sacrifices in Northern Europe, and naturally the ancient texts in the Nordic region - runes!

Personality section:

The personality is designed with a large number of rune letters and animal heads. Although I can't understand any of them, it is full of mystery.

Animal heads, such as wolf's head, pig's head, etc., are considered to have special symbolic meaning in Nordic culture, and are used in blood sacrifices as ritual objects symbolizing sacrifices and gods.

Seeing this personality, I will think of another set of keycaps - GMK Norse North. However, in comparison, I personally feel that Norse's personality design is better, the content is richer, and there is a handsome big axe.

This version of the personality rune text did not find an explanation in the IC post, but I contacted the designer and got their answer.

Column 1 TX means pagan, column 2TX means blood, Esc means death, backspace means human, carriage return means sacrifice.

The color is very poisonous, but lacks some changes, the personality is very handsome, but the versatility is less, but I personally still like the decoration of the runes very much.

It is a good choice to match silver, black, red and some dark keyboard cases.

GMK ³ Cubed cubic

dream back to the millennium

This keycap is a game console-themed keycap designed by designer MrBingo (Mr. Bingo), inspired by the Nintendo GameCube. The designer has previously designed GMK thick milk matcha

The main color of this host is purple, which is unique. However, it failed to restore the market share of the former Nintendo 64. Sales have been weak throughout the console's lifecycle, lagging far behind rival PlayStation 2.

In addition to lower sales than expected, the GameCube also gave birth to many classic games, such as "Pikmin" and "Little Robot", which later became Nintendo's hit games. In addition, some games later spawned multiple sub-series, such as Metroid Prime and Luigi's Mansion.

Color matching:

Light Grey, Dark Grey, Bright Yellow, Bright Red, Dark Blue Purple, Bright Green.

The color is taken from the color matching of the host handle, with dark blue and purple as the main tone, and light gray characters, with strong contrast and unique style.

The rest of the colors are used as supplementary embellishments

Personality section:

The personality part is quite interesting in design, the classic handlebar handle design, buttons, and several classic indicator words, as well as multi-color supplements for the corresponding buttons, and the lamp cap adds to the retro flavor.

Metal personality:

Personal Rating: 5—8

This keycap can barely be regarded as a secondary creation keycap, and there will be higher requirements for the secondary creation keycap. In terms of color matching, it is in the same line as the Gay Purple GameCube. Multi-color additions make the overall look not monotonous. The individual design is interesting and makes people smile.

Buying advice:

In terms of matching, the matching range of this keycap is limited. It is recommended to match it with purple, black, silver, and dark blue keyboard shells. Some bright color combinations may also have good results.

FOCUS

PLEASE "Focus" put your camera on the keyboard!!!

This keycap is a retro camera-themed keycap designed by designer Kanai Amamiya, with Leica cameras as the main conception direction.

It is not an old film machine, but a retro machine with modern and powerful functions, which just corresponds to the preferences of many key circle players.

"Lycra, timeless classic"

Color matching:

Retro gray and white with red, yellow, green and black as embellishments.

An off-white palette can convey a sense of simplicity, cleanliness and modernity, which can be very useful in many designs, especially when you want to accentuate other elements. However, if you want to convey a more emotional design, a pure gray and white color scheme is not enough. Although the embellishment of red, yellow and green can indeed add some interest, this color combination still lacks some novelty.

Personality section:

The design logic of the function area and supplementary keys of the whole set of keycaps is "the keyboard has the operability of a camera", and the letters of the function keys are replaced with the functions of the camera, and the computer functions are presented in the form of side engraving.

For example, the F area on the top is converted to the f value of the aperture, the screenshot key is equivalent to the landscape mode, the original icon of the Fn key is very similar to the camera’s continuous shooting function icon, etc.

You can even set the ISO value in the digital area, and the decisive function of Enter, of course, is to use the shutter as the protagonist.

"I thought about what function to replace Shift with for a long time, and finally came up with it"

It is the keycap with the most variable length, just corresponding to the lens with various lengths

Therefore, I designed Shifts of various lengths corresponding to the focal lengths of various lenses

From the shortest super wide-angle to the longest super telephoto, fixed focus, zoom...

Maybe one of the focal lengths is lying in your moisture-proof box!

Personal Rating: 6—7

Although the details are very careful, and the thinking and design of shift are also very interesting, but the color matching is still a bit mediocre, retro, camera, operating system, although these elements are indeed related to a certain extent, can they be combined? To make a good work through mastery, you still need to think more. In fact, you don’t have to have a gray and white color scheme to do retro, and the retro styles are also very diverse.

Buying advice:

Players who are interested in the theme of retro cameras can consider buying it, and the matching range of gray and white colors is very wide.

Wucai also started to make keycaps. There are many kinds of them, but they are not cheap.

Color matching:

Simple extraction, non-final color card

light blue gray, light blue, steel blue, teal, light yellow

The overall collocation gives people a bright, fresh, mild and calm visual effect. At the same time, as an embellished supplementary button, the introverted, deep and light yellow are used to create a strong contrast and make the whole collocation more obvious. and highlight.

Personality section:

Personality design is actually an old-fashioned problem. It is often difficult to highlight the author's own design style in secondary creation of personality design, and it is easier to fall into the problem of homogeneity than complete originality.

The personality design this time is still based on the character's clothing and skill characteristics, but the design of the seventh round is quite good, and it is very ornamental, while the others are quite satisfactory.

There will be higher requirements for the secondary creation of keycaps. In terms of color matching, this keycap is still a relatively common character color design, but the addition of dark cyan feels that the span is too large, neither completely reversed, nor The gradual color scale, maybe the physical color card will be adjusted in the later stage, hoping to make it more harmonious. Except for the seven chapters, the other personality designs are still a little mediocre.

Color matching:

Lilac White, Sweet Cherry Red, Candle Yellow, Golden Oatmeal, Morning Glory Pink, Aqua Green. The colors are taken from the character's clothing traits. The red and white base color is a relatively classic combination, giving people a soft and warm visual experience, and the sallow yellow embellishment does not seem obtrusive.

Personality section:

The individual patterns are mainly designed around the chapters of Aincrad in volumes 1 and 2 of the library edition. The character's sword "Shining Light", Kiritani Kazuto's sword "Interpreter", and some character appearance decorations and blood bars are full of design elements of the game. However, the repetition of elements is high. The image of the sword alone occupies about 1/3 of the pattern design, and it does not escape some problems of secondary creation, lacking personal style.

There will be higher requirements for secondary creation keycaps. Although it is a set of warm color design, it still does not reflect personal style like most secondary creation keycaps. The color matching is quite satisfactory, but there is a comparison with Soso’s set The good thing in common is that the matching is relatively simple, and the color of the keyboard shell is not too picky.

Buying advice:

Currently only IC, waiting for GB follow-up

Process question:

The so-called "comprehensive sublimation", after observation and analysis, I personally guess that this process is actually a dyeing process, similar to dip-dyeing keycaps. According to the "camping" sold overseas, this process was previously used by Mi Kewei in keycaps. It is also used on "Nezuko". The process principle is as follows:

Dyeing Buy disperse dyes, boil water, boil, and dye. Use "stickers" in advance, such as metal stickers or screen printing on some kind of substance, or pad printing, hang up after dyeing. If sublimation is to "print" the pattern on the keycap, then the dyeing process is to "buckle" the pattern and leave the outline of the pattern by covering it.

The reason for the guess is based on the following:

The blank surface here and the blank surface in the cross hole is to dye the color on the keycap instead of injection molding, and the character color is the base color of the material.

The Nidouzi photographed by Mr. Le before is more obvious.

With air in the pores, the dye cannot fully submerge, resulting in the color not being applied. This process has been proved to be a dyeing process, so by analogy, the perfect process is also a dyeing process.

However, since I don't have a complete dyed keycap at hand, I can't disassemble it.

Buying advice:

Players who have a need for side engraved customization can consider buying it, but it seems that the event has ended, and I hope to open more events in the future to meet the needs of different players.

Although traditional mechanical keyboards can also meet daily office work and have a certain appearance, they lack the fun of DIY customization. If you want to reflect your personality, a customized keyboard is the best choice. There are rich shortcut key settings, easy to use, and you can freely replace the shaft body to create your own little personality, which is becoming more and more popular among players.

Rapoo's newly launched V700DIYRGB mechanical keyboard has a 104-key full-size key layout, and the switch body supports hot-swappable, equipped with RGB backlight effects, allowing players to easily create personalized exclusive keyboards, redefining "playability", the key There is also super cost-effective, the price is only less than 300, let's take a look at the experience effect!

The main product, the Rapoo V700DIYRGB mechanical keyboard, has a keyboard specification of 435*149*48mm, a layout of 104 full-size keys, a number key area, and an independent distribution of function key areas in the upper right corner. There is no conflict in all key operations, and the functions are obviously complete and practical.

The panel of the keyboard is made of silver aluminum alloy, which is stronger and more wear-resistant than the common plastic materials. Coupled with the simple narrow frame design, it also looks very high-quality. At the same time, on the right side of the keyboard, it adds a tough dorsal fin shape, and cleverly adds 5 shortcut keys such as mode switching, lighting switching, wheel mode switching, and mute. There is also a light brightness/volume adjustment wheel in the upper right corner for easy adjustment. .

The keycaps of the Rapoo V700DIYRGB mechanical keyboard are pure white, made of PBT material, suspended design, and using a two-color injection molding process. There are no burrs around each keycap, and the quality details are worthy of recognition. When you touch these keycaps with your hands, the feel is more delicate and comfortable, with a certain graininess, so don't worry about it shining after a long time. The back of the keyboard is designed with a silicone non-slip tripod and anti-slip stickers, as well as two hidden feet, which can flexibly adjust the use angle and ensure that the keyboard body is stable when used on a smooth desktop.

DIY shaft body and feel effect

The Rapoo V700DIYRGB mechanical keyboard supports 104-key hot-swappable, and the standard five-pin switch seat is suitable for most five-pin hot-swappable switch keyboards on the market. Using the provided key puller, keycaps or switches can be easily removed for custom replacements. The hot-swappable metal shaft seat is anti-oxidation and aging-resistant. It can withstand 10,000 times of plugging and unplugging.

The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard originally uses the hot-swappable linear fast silver switch developed by Rapoo. The specific parameters of this linear shaft body are the total stroke 4mm, the trigger stroke 1.3±0.5mm, and the trigger pressure 45±10gf. Therefore, the key stroke is slightly shorter when pressed, the rebound is faster, quiet and noise-free, the hand feels relatively brisk, and there is no sense of paragraphs. The single-axis life is 50 million times, and it is suitable for office games.

Next, take out the 12 Rapoo self-developed KA-12 linear fast silver switches we got, and start to DIY the switch body.

Take off the keycap and pull out the original shaft body, then press the shaft body to be replaced lightly on the corresponding pinhole on the keyboard motherboard according to the corresponding pins, and when you hear a crisp sound, the shaft replacement is successful, and finally install the keycap, and you are done. Complete independent DIY replacement.

In addition to the KA-12 linear fast silver switch developed by Rapoo, it also has a KA-12 linear elastic white switch for option. The white switch body and the keycap are in the same color. It is a light pressure switch body, which is more suitable for frequent coding. User. In comparison, the KA-12 linear fast silver switch feels more resilient, so players still recommend the KA-12 linear fast silver switch.

Moreover, the Rapoo self-developed KA-12 linear fast silver switch uses the calibration factory run satellite switch, and the actual feel is not loose at all, which is very stable on the mechanical keyboard. The transparent top cover on the shaft body will not affect the lighting effect.

In addition to these two switches developed by Rapoo, other mainstream five-pin switches such as Goto, Jiadalong, Kaihua, and TTC genuine brands can also be replaced on the Rapoo V700DIYRGB mechanical keyboard at will. Buying such a keyboard, we can easily feel the impact of different touches, enjoy the freshness it brings when pressing the keys, and feel better.

In the button settings, users can set combination keys, basic functions, disable button functions, customize macro button functions, and set 104 button functions. This gameplay is much richer, and it is no longer limited to the conventional use of traditional mechanical keyboards, bringing a novel experience.

In addition, in the lighting settings, users can not only easily adjust different lighting modes such as blooming flowers, falling rain, left and right, and united will, but also set five levels of lighting brightness and independently set the single-button lighting effect.
