The keyboard may be the most playable among computer peripherals, but many people are limited to a mechanical keyboard with RGB equivalent. In fact, the highest level of keyboard playing is customization. For customized keyboards, you can choose the body, axis, keycaps, etc., and install a keyboard of your own according to your hobbies. In the past two days, I have bought the keyboard of Lofree, and I will share with you the experience of installation and use.

The first thing to explain is that when purchasing on the e-commerce platform, there will be fewer options for customization. After all, the presentation of the e-commerce platform needs to be standardized, so customization needs to be carried out in the Luofei building applet, so that you can choose by yourself Keycaps, switches and body. I chose the tofu color of the 68 keys, the yellow switches of Jiadalong and the keycaps with the theme of summer invasion.

Here I want to explain that in addition to 68 keys, there are 100 keys, because I have been using keyboards with more than 100 keys before, so I chose 68 keys this time, which can save some desktop space.

After receiving the package, there are actually three core components in the package, namely the fuselage, keycap and shaft body, all three of which are individually packaged, and there are also three batteries, connecting wires, key puller, manual, certificate of conformity, etc. small component. It is worth noting that the packaging of the keycaps is actually fixed in order, which is convenient for us to install.

Because it is customized, we need to install it by ourselves. The installation sequence is to install the shaft body first, and then install the keycaps in the corresponding order.

The shaft I chose is Jiadalong's yellow shaft. The top of the shaft is yellow, the bottom stitch is golden, the two stitches are staggered from each other, and the base of the shaft is white. Pay extra attention when installing, because if you are not careful, the pins will be bent. There is an experience when installing, that is to tilt the shaft body slightly, the angle of inclination is the same as the body, and then press it hard.

In fact, a total of 71 shafts are equipped, and three more shafts are added to prevent the pins of some shafts from being broken or broken. When installing, it is recommended to install the shaft body from one side, and it is recommended to press after each installation to test whether the installation is successful. If the installation fails, you can adjust it in time, otherwise it will take a lot of trouble to check it out after everything is installed later.

The installation of the keycaps is much easier, you only need to install them in the order of the keycaps. After installation, the height of the keycap may be different due to the force. Don't panic at this time, just press all the keycaps once to achieve the same height of the keycaps. The entire installation process is actually much simpler than imagined. When you face the keyboard you installed with one axis and one key, you will feel a sense of pride in your heart.

The set of keyboards I customized is called Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao. In fact, it is named after his appearance. The entire keyboard has a high top and a low bottom, showing a rounded arc with a slight upturn, which is more ergonomic and more comfortable when typing. In fact, the reason for the warping is a very clever design, that is, the position where the battery is installed at the bottom of the top of the keyboard, which forms the key to the small warping.

I chose this set of beach-themed keycaps. On the keycaps, elements of the beach are integrated, including lighthouses, coconut trees, waves, parasols, iced drinks, etc., and they are made in cartoon style, very cute, male and female suitable for all. The lower three rows of keycaps are sea blue, and the upper two rows are light blue, which is very harmonious. Although it is said that there are only 68 keys, but everything is available, switching from 104 keys to 68 keys can be directly adapted. It is worth noting that there is only one hidden indicator light on the front of the entire keyboard, and that is the indicator light on the upper and lower case keys.

As for the yellow axis of Jiadalong, I personally feel that the pressing is relatively smooth, the pressing feedback is moderate, no force is required, the sound is relatively calm and not too noisy, and it is very suitable for people like me who have a lot of code words. Of course, you can also choose to buy another set of shafts for other scenarios.

This pair of keyboards can be connected in three modes. In addition to direct cable connection, you can also use Bluetooth connection, or you can choose to use 2.4G wireless network connection. The branch factory is considerate, especially the connection cable is also made more beautiful and easier. Cable elbow design.

The assembled Lofree 68 keyboard, I think, may be the most comfortable keyboard I have used in these years. After all, the shaft, cap and machine are selected by myself, and it is installed by myself with one shaft and one cap. . In fact, the appearance is really high. If you play with mechanical keyboards, then I think customized keyboards must be your final destination. Luo Fei, you can really think about it.

In addition to the AK966, Heijue also launched the AC081 Year of the Tiger limited edition customized mechanical keyboard, which is made of all-metal shell and electrophoretic yellow technology, equipped with a limited edition box custom switch for the Year of the Tiger. It is now on sale at a price of 1099 yuan. focus on.

Built on the basis of AC081, it adopts an all-metal CNC body, weighs 1.8Kg, and has a narrow frame design with outstanding texture and delicate touch. There is no major change in the configuration, 75% of which are still equipped with 81 keys, mainly Kaihua box Year of the Tiger limited switches, and a set of limited edition Box Year of the Tiger custom switches, 45gf trigger.

Adopting the design of gasket structure + poron spacer, it feels soft and elastic, supports full-key hot swap, and is compatible with three-legged and five-legged axes. Players can define their own feel as they like. In addition, it also supports 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects.

When wandering online, I often see some netizens want to buy a mechanical keyboard, but when they see a dazzling array of product pages, they get stuck in a tangle: which one is better to buy? Which one is more suitable for me? There are countless similar questions.

For a long time, the aristocrat in the mechanical keyboard is aluminum Tuotuo, which has a handsome appearance and various configurations can be customized. After playing so many keyboards, my longing for Al Tuotuo has always been there. On the night when the Heijue Light Krypton Series AC067 Yuanfeng Blue was first released, it rushed without hesitation. Today Uncle V will test its overall performance for everyone.

[unpacking]

It is a very thick box in hand. Open the package, there are: keyboard body, manual, data cable, key puller and shaft puller, etc. With the keyboard in hand, you can feel the feeling of falling into your hand. Heijue Qingkrypton AC067 Yuanfeng blue shell is made of all-aluminum alloy, Yuanfeng blue is anodized, the matte texture is full, and the color matching is also very cool in summer.

The keycaps of AC067 are white, yellow, and blue. The color matching gives people a fresh and refined feeling, and it matches the Yuanfeng blue shell very well. The 67 keys are arranged in a compact arrangement, and the whole is compact and exquisite. The square and neat shape also has rounded corners that are very friendly and easy to handle.

There is also a stainless steel metal mirror trim like overlapping peaks on the back, with a blue shell, which may be the origin of "Yuanfeng Blue". There is no foot support at the bottom, and a more suitable input angle can be achieved through the slope of the side. In order to ensure the integrity of the shell, the wireless switch is set under the space bar, and there is no need to close it or worry about power consumption after it is turned on.

【Experience】

One of the biggest highlights of Heijue AC067 Yuanfeng Blue is that this all-aluminum shell keyboard supports three connection modes: Type-C wired, Bluetooth 5.0, and wireless 2.4G. In Bluetooth mode, it can also connect to 3 devices and switch between them. It is compatible with Windows and Mac. And Android and other systems can be connected to devices such as tablets, mobile phones, and computers. I was worried that the all-aluminum shell would shield the wireless signal, but in actual use, there is no wireless delay, disconnection, etc., which is super awesome.

The first feeling I get from this AC067 three-mode aluminum tuo is that it feels thick and heavy in my hand, and the second feeling is that I can hardly feel the cavity sound when I hit the keys.

It is understood that it is mainly because of the gasket structure design adopted by AC067. Poron sliver support positioning plates are set on the upper and lower covers to avoid hard impact between the inner tank and the outer shell, plus the stuffed EVA sandwich cotton and two EVA bottoms Cotton, so that the sound produced during the whole key tapping process is completely different from the plastic kit with ordinary structure, and it feels soft and comfortable to the touch, and it will not feel hard to touch after a long time.

Heijue Qingkrypton AC067 Yuanfeng Blue is equipped with a 35g blueberry shaft. The color of the shaft body and the kit is similar, echoing the theme of the color scheme of the shell Yuanfeng Blue, it is really "blue"! 35g trigger pressure, double-stage gold-plated spring, smooth pressing, dust-proof wall design, stable output, and relatively quiet knocking sound, even if you use it in the office or late at night, you don’t have to worry about disturbing others. The satellite axis of the big keys such as space is also well tuned, without steel wire sound.

In addition, Heijue Qingkrypton AC067 Yuanfeng Blue also supports full-key hot-swappable, using the mainstream Kaihua hot-swappable shaft seat, which is compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts, and almost all shafts on the market are compatible. Experience that different shafts can be replaced anytime and anywhere, which really saves a lot of extra keyboard replacement expenses.

AC067 is preset with 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects. Through the driver, you can set various lighting effects such as single-key color adjustment, and there is also a very interesting music rhythm. The lights will dance with the rhythm of the music, and the playability is quite high. , very atmospheric. The standard 2000mAh battery can also have a battery life of 100h in no backlight mode, which Uncle V thinks is very good.

【Summarize】

Heijue Qingkrypton AC067 Yuanfeng Blue three-mode mechanical keyboard is designed with an all-aluminum alloy shell. Blue, the texture is very good. 65% arrangement layout, 67 buttons with small front teeth design, small and exquisite, will not take up too much desktop space; gasket structure + sandwich cotton/bottom cotton stuffed, good hand feeling consistency, good sound; 35g blueberry switch, Feel light and smooth, Kaihua hot-swappable shaft seat, compatible with three-legged and five-legged shafts, you can change different shafts anytime, anywhere, easy and convenient; there are also 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects that can be switched, supporting cool functions such as music rhythm , it would be more perfect if there is a dust cover attached.

The daily price is 749 yuan, and it can be even lower during activities. The price of Heijue Qingkrypton AC067 Yuanfeng Blue Three-mode Gasket Aluminum Tuo Tuo Mechanical Keyboard is really cost-effective. Uncle V personally thinks that this is a super-value and exciting keyboard. Exciting peripheral products.

A computer with powerful performance, a stereo with excellent sound quality, a game that you can become addicted to after playing, and an exquisite mechanical keyboard all over the body. I really want to touch it even after touching it. The computer does it. A man's happiness is very simple, a simple thing can be enjoyed for a long time.

As a digital technology blogger, a home PC is a must, and the performance must be hard, the desktop must be cool, and the peripherals must not be bad, especially the mouse and keyboard, which need to be touched for a long time every day, so the peripheral requirements for the PC Still very high. Recently, I have been optimistic about a three-mode aluminum Tuotuo, which is this Heijue Light Krypton series AC067 Yuanfeng Blue customized mechanical keyboard that has just arrived.

[unpacking]

▲Starting from the packaging, you can easily enjoy customization. For the Heijue×Qingkrypton AC067 series, the upper cover of the packaging adopts double color matching. The simple line drawing of this keyboard is in the middle, and the relevant parameters and manufacturer information are on the back, including:

Model: AC067

Color: far peak blue

Shell material: aluminum alloy

Keyboard size: 323*116.8*34mm

Connection method: Bluetooth+2.4G+wired

Battery capacity: 2000mAh

Lighting effect: RGB 18 kinds

Line length: 1.6 meters

System: Windows2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10

▲ Here comes the product list, including: AC067 keyboard body, Type-c cable, 2.4G wireless receiver, manual, integrated key and shaft puller, and hexagonal wrench, which can be said to be relatively comprehensive.

Most customized keyboards are generally assembled by players after purchasing relevant accessories, but Heijue provides a one-stop service this time, from the all-aluminum three-mode keyboard kit, to the switch body, to the keycaps. It is complete, and you can use it directly after purchase. For DIY keyboard players who like to do it themselves, you can make more detailed modifications by replacing the keycaps, shafts, and sound packs.

▲This is the front of the Heijue Qingkrypton AC067 Yuanfeng Blue customized keyboard. It adopts the blue/white/yellow three-color keycap design, the overall 67-key layout, and 65% arrangement, which is what most keyboard manufacturers currently know. A series launched, it will be very easy to use after getting used to it.

The first thing I feel when I take out the package is that it is heavy, it is very heavy, and it is also commonly known as aluminum lump. The shell is made of all-aluminum material, and the texture is full.

▲The most eye-catching thing on the back is the silver mirror mountain design in the center. As the name suggests, it echoes this Yuanfeng blue. It is fixed with eight hexagon socket screws and four silicone foot pads, which play a strong, non-slip and quiet effect. The bottom is The product label of the keyboard, including: brand, product, factory serial number.

▲The only opening position of the keyboard body is the TYPE-C wired mode connection port, which is also the charging interface. This keyboard supports three connection modes: Bluetooth, wireless, and wired. It has a built-in 2000mAh lithium battery, and the RGB backlight can last for 8 hours. , it can last for 100 hours after turning off the backlight, and it only takes 4 hours to fully charge it, and it can be charged while using the wired mode.

▲This keyboard adopts a non-compact design. Small incisors are used to separate the direction key area to avoid accidental touches. Then, the PGUP/PGDN page-turning keys are reserved. The positions of the DEL and HOME keys above should be changed up and down. In fact, It's not a big problem, I will use the exclusive driver of this product to change the key position later, in fact, these keys can be arranged according to your own habits and mood, just use the driver to change it.

▲Because it is a whole piece of aluminum, there is no folding foot support, and the shell has a certain design curvature. After actual experience, this height is basically suitable for anyone. In fact, it takes two days to get used to each angle. , as long as it is not too high, there is no problem.

▲ In terms of the switch body, the Heijue AC067 Yuanfeng blue keyboard uses the 35g linear blueberry switch of Heijue’s own fresh fruit switch series. The linear axis is basically an all-field axis. It does not disturb people in office work and responds quickly in games. The life of the axis reaches 80 million times, the operating force is 35g, the bottoming force is 50g, the key stroke is 4mm, and the total stroke is 4+0.4mm. The blueberry shaft adopts a fully transparent design, which can maximize the RGB lighting effect without blocking it.

Kaihua's hot-swappable shaft seat design is compatible with three-legged/five-legged shafts, which is convenient for those who have higher needs in the later period to replace any other shafts. The desire to play all kinds of shafts with a keyboard can be realized on it. .

▲The keycaps are made of a full set of PBT material, without burrs, and with slight particles on the surface. The two-color injection molding process makes the characters and colors never fade, and has strong anti-gloss ability after long-term use.

[gasket structure]

▲ Let’s take a look at the composition and structure of AC067 Yuanfeng Blue, starting from the keycap, aluminum alloy upper frame, custom satellite shaft, blueberry shaft, PORON spacer, aluminum alloy positioning board, EVA sandwich cotton, hidden switch, three-mode RGB Kai Huare plug-in shaft seat PCB board, EVA bottom cotton, separate small board, lithium battery, EVA positioning board anti-collision cotton, aluminum alloy bottom shell.

▲The aluminum alloy frame is surrounded by Poron cotton slivers, which is the recently popular gasket structure. By setting the poron sliver on the upper and lower covers to support the positioning plate, the inner tank will not be hard on the outer shell during the keyboard knocking process. impact, providing a softer feel and a purer typing print.

To add a word, the overall CNC craftsmanship of this keyboard is very sophisticated, without any flaws, and it can be seen that it has been strictly selected when it leaves the factory.

▲We can clearly see that the buffer sandwich cotton between the aluminum alloy positioning plate and the PCB board can eliminate most of the knocking noise.

【drive】

▲You can download the PC-side driver of the AC067 keyboard from Heijue’s official website. In the driver, you can set the keys for the normal key layer and the FN layer separately, set the speed and brightness of 18 RGB lighting effects, and then record and edit macros. It is very useful to play fighting games, how cool it is to have a one-click super.

【pair】

▲Heijue AC067 keyboard can be adapted to Android, IOS, win, mac and other systems, and can be connected to 3 Bluetooth devices for free switching.

During the typing process, the ambient sound is about 37-40dB, and the typing noise is basically below 70dB. In order to ensure the downforce of daily typing, the rebound of the shaft body is relatively fast, and there is a percussion sound similar to mahjong sound, which is much quieter than the traditional black switch and red switch.

▲The full-key non-reverse is basically an inherent advantage of mechanical keyboards. After all, each character is powered by a separate axis. The full-key non-reverse is very useful for friends who love to play games. Non-gamers can ignore it.

Use the Keyboard software to test it with no impact, five or six times in the whole test, the result is also conceivable, no red key appears, and the performance is good.

▲Heijue ACA067 Yuanfeng blue keyboard has built-in 18 kinds of RGB lighting effects, which can be replaced cyclically with one key, which is very simple and convenient, including constant light, breathing, light wave, kaleidoscope, neon, shooting star, raindrop and other modes. This model is cool, and you can also adjust the light and shade of the lighting effect and the speed of the flow. Through the driver, you can also set the mode that the light follows the rhythm of the music, which is very fun.

The picture above shows only a part and is for reference only.

▲ Routine operation LOL, this is also one of the essential games for me to basically test the keys. It mainly depends on the key force, rebound response and overall key travel. After two games, I feel that the overall travel is moderate and not very short. Skills The pressing response instantly reaches the state of seconds out, the force of 35g-50g of the blueberry shaft is still acceptable, and the overall LOL experience is quite pleasant.

▲A masterpiece is still a masterpiece, it will never be out of date, Metal Gear Solid Phantom Pain, this game is relatively comprehensive in terms of operation, basically requires most of the keys on the left side of the keyboard, the overall operation is also affected without F1-12, the left side The regular layout of the buttons is all that is needed. This is because there are not too many adjustments for the game. For the whole movement, you need to operate the keyboard instead of the mouse. In the wireless mode, there are no dumb keys or connected keys as a whole. The trigger is accurate and the performance is very good. Stablize.

▲This time I didn’t play God of War 4, I’m a bit tired of aesthetics. Let’s go to this cool war machine with bullets and bullets. Except for the plot point, there is basically nothing to say in the whole process. Just do it and pick all kinds of big toys Fight monsters. The overall effect of fighting is very wow, the rebound of the shaft body is very fast, and the skill can be triggered by pressing it again without rebounding to the peak value. Sex is higher.

▲In terms of table setting, I personally prefer flattening. I don’t like the upper layer and the lower layer. The graying desktop lights up instantly, and the whole room depends on its existence.

▲Finally, let’s take a look at the overall weight of this aluminum handle. The weight of the PCB and the all-aluminum shaft positioning plate is 388.8g, the weight of the aluminum body chassis is 646g, and the weight of the aluminum frame is 260g. The positioning design of the aluminum body has been stretched to the full, and it is difficult to move it if you do not use too much force. , Yes, this is what I want too. After getting the aluminum lump, I feel that the ABS plastic keyboard is not so fragrant in an instant.

【Summarize】

After 2 weeks of heavy use of the Heijue AC067 Yuanfeng Blue customized keyboard, I would like to talk about the feelings during use. The first is the appearance, the Yuanfeng blue color is very beautiful, and there are different blue presentations at various angles; the second is the arrangement On the one hand, there is more room for the mouse, so users who just need a numeric keypad don’t have to think about it; on the other hand, in terms of functions, three-mode connection, Bluetooth, wireless 2.4G, wired, and a 2000mAh lithium battery with a maximum battery life of 100 Hours, when it leaves the factory, it is equipped with its own 35g blueberry shaft as a one-stop standard, and the feel is still good. It is matched with Kaihua hot-swappable shaft seat, and the subsequent replacement of the shaft is also very convenient. The last is the structure, which uses the gasket structure. And the sound is much better than a normal keyboard...

Overall, this customized keyboard of Heijue Qingkrypton AC067 Yuanfeng Blue Three-mode Gasket and Aluminum Tuo Tuo can be used for office work and games. .

As the father of a nearly two-year-old princess, his family status has gradually declined since he had a baby, and even the little computer desktop space has been squeezed.

780 * 380 The desktop needs a 27-inch monitor and a 104-key keyboard. It is really difficult to accommodate these in such a small space. After barely putting it down, the desktop is very crowded, and the user experience score is -10. So I wanted to change to a small keyboard to reduce the pressure on the desktop. After checking the recommendations on the site many times, I came up with the idea of ​​customization, but due to my limited time and energy, I thought about buying a finished customized keyboard. After learning about it from many sources, I started today's protagonist: Keychron's K series - K3Pro 。

What is a customized keyboard:
A customized mechanical keyboard is a keyboard that can be customized and assembled according to the user's preferences and needs. It is different from the common finished mechanical keyboards on the market. Users can choose various parts by themselves, and then perform operations such as welding, screws, and wires to complete the assembly. The advantage of this is that the user has full control over the appearance and performance of the keyboard, creating a unique keyboard.

The packaging of K3Pro is black as a whole. The laser keyboard rendering and the brand model can show different colors under different angles of light, and the recognition is full. The inner packaging is also protected by bubble wrap, which protects the keyboard and accessories well.

In addition to the keyboard body, the K3Pro package also contains USB AtoC data cable 、 key puller 、 shaft puller 、 manual and to replace win system keycap set 。

At first glance, it is too small. Compared with the 104-key keyboard, it is really small. 75% of the structural layout The use of 84 keys makes the keyboard appear compact, but it can be regarded as a reasonable use of space. The size of the keyboard is compressed to the extreme while keeping the use of it as far as possible without accidentally touching it, which successfully saved my desktop anxiety.

The wired connection of K3Pro is in the middle of the keyboard, and the buttons for adjusting the system and connection mode are on the left side of the top.

As far as I know, the overseas market of Keychron is very good, and many YouTube owners highly recommend this brand, which is why the English version of the packaging is in English and the instruction manual is also the first. Keychron may not be well-known to the domestic public, but Keychron is popular in China. The key ring and digital experts are quite famous.

As always, the K3Pro still leaves the factory with the default mac keycaps. If you are a win system user, you need to replace the keycaps yourself.

For the shaft, the Jiadalong , Jiadalong's short shaft can be said to be quite famous for the key ring. Because it is used for office work, I chose the red switch. The red switch is more suitable for long-term typing on the trigger, and the sound will not be too loud. After all, you don’t want everyone to take a lunch break at noon, and your keyboard clicks. Let the clacking sound attract the public outrage of colleagues!

At the same time K3Pro The shaft body supports full-key hot-swap , It is more convenient to replace the shaft body. Since it is a low-key keyboard, it naturally only supports three-legged or five-legged short switches.

K3Pro The tripod supports three gear adjustments , Different heights can adapt to various desktop heights. After all, as an office artifact, it must adapt to different desks. (Suddenly remembered that I worked in a company before, and I changed positions five times a year, and the height of the table was different five times, which was a toss.)

The RGB of K3Pro has 22 kinds of colorful lighting effects , The light effect of the non-transparent keycap is not too serious, and the low-key and non-dazzling light is suitable for office work. For those who like light pollution, you can consider changing to a set of light-transmitting keycaps.

K3Pro is Support QMK/VIA open source key change Yes, download the corresponding VIA open source project according to your own device. VIA supports Macos, Windows users and Linux.
The official comes with four layers of keys. Different layers correspond to different systems. You can set them according to your needs. For example, I am using a win10 streamlined system without built-in screenshot function, so I can set fn+z to ctrl+alt+A, so that I can directly call the screenshot function of WeChat or QQ.

The overall experience has been about half a month. Compared with VGN, the king of volume, it may not be beautiful in terms of price. However, the overall texture and experience of K3Pro are quite good. After all, it can be recognized by so many overseas markets, and the brand still has something to offer. At the same time, I also hope to pay more attention to the domestic market. At present, I know that Keychron has too little promotion in China. In addition, their business color matching as always has made most of the beauty parties directly persuade them to quit. I personally think that they can still target the domestic market. Do some linkage or other macho color schemes.
