In two days, Meizu will hold a summer new product launch conference. It is unclear what new products will be brought, but just now, Meizu officially announced that PANDAER will once again cooperate with IQUNIX to launch a new mechanical keyboard.

Since it is combined with IQUNIX, the overall style will be similar to IQUNIX products. This customized keyboard is simple and neat as a whole, and is made of brand-new aluminum alloy. From the promotional picture, the keyboard is mainly blue and white, and some keycaps are orange-yellow. There is also a PANDAER LOGO logo on the side of the fuselage. In addition, the bottom is a huge foot support. From the side, the keycap should be a spherical keycap, and the bottom of the fuselage is slightly thicker.

Friends who are familiar with IQUNIX should have guessed that this customized version is actually the F97 recently launched by IQUNIX, with 96% of the key design, some function keys are moved to the upper right corner, and the numeric keypad and direction keys are retained. The keypad is more compact.

The whole metal frame is made of high-quality aluminum alloy, and then after high-precision CNC cutting and anodizing treatment, it follows the minimalist narrow frame design.

In addition, it also supports hot-swapping, which is convenient for players to replace different axes at any time, and is adapted to the key design of the macOS system, using PBT material keycaps and special supplementary keys.

This is a three-mode keyboard that supports Bluetooth 5.1 and 2.4GHz and wired links, and can connect multiple devices. The ultra-low power consumption wireless connection module and the large 4000mAh battery enable the F97 wireless mechanical keyboard to provide up to 260 days of battery life.

At present, the price of joint customization is not clear, but it is known that the price of F97 is around 1200 yuan, and the customized version is expected to be 1500 yuan? I don't know, my favorite friends and so on.

As a productivity tool, the keyboard is crackling and busy every day.

Before voice input is popularized, this will be the most frequently used means of communication in the Internet world.

The things you use every day must feel good and have strong performance in order to be comfortable to use. But compared with the value of the face, everything else stands aside. If a keyboard looks good, has powerful performance, and feels comfortable in the hand, it must be recommended to all friends.

The Dareu Small Cube Z82 I experienced this time is such a keyboard. The chocolate keyboard has a chic and attractive shape, and you can’t take your eyes off at a glance. The matte appearance and frosted surface make people fondle admiringly. Three-mode mechanical keyboard, one-key all-in-one for gaming and office, come and experience it with me out of the box.

unpack

The keyboard is packaged like a gift box, with a line drawing of the keyboard in the center of the front, and some cartoons of office elements scattered around, which looks very artistic. The upper left corner is Dareu's LOGO, and the lower right corner is the product name: Xiaofangtang Z82 wireless mechanical keyboard. Xiaomian and his team also thoughtfully marked the purpose of this keyboard, which can be used for office work, home use, gift giving, and leisure. Well, I'm considering giving it to my girlfriend.

On the back of the box are some parameters of the product, including three connection methods 2.4G, Bluetooth, wired, the number of keys is 82 keys, the switch type is mechanical switch/sky switch, white LED backlight, the keyboard is a sugar cube round PBT keycap, the product The weight is 760 grams, and the product size is 330*140.6*40mm.

Open the package, in addition to the keyboard, there are three keycaps in the box, which can be matched with a set of all white keycaps, and a set of pink replacement keys for the Enter key, ESC, and space bar, which is pink and girly. There is also a data connection cable and instructions in the package.

In terms of appearance, this keycap is a must. The sugar cube is round, with an inner circle and an outer square, with curved joints and a slight inward depression in the middle, giving people a warm feeling of butterscotch cubes, which is comfortable to look at and easy to touch.

to experience

Candy powder and canvas white, two colors, for girls, you must choose the candy powder that girls like. Pink background, white keycap, clean and durable, romantic.

The material of the keycap is PBT, the surface is hard and wear-resistant and not easy to scratch, the matte texture feels warm and moist like jade, the depression fits the finger belly, and the lifting effect is obvious. The radians of the corners are handled compactly, and it is not easy to accidentally touch the buttons next to it when typing fast with both hands.

On the side of the upper left corner of the keyboard, there is a product model mark, and the USB signal transmitter is inserted into the groove. Next to the Type-C charging port is the mode switch, which can switch between the three connection methods. Level A is wired connection, 1 corresponds to 2.4G connection, 2 corresponds to Bluetooth mode, Bluetooth mode is more commonly used, when the switch is turned to 2, press and hold the Fn+Q combination key for 3 seconds to pair and connect, which is very convenient.

If it is an Apple MAC computer, you can switch the WIN/MAC system through the Fn+DEL key.

There is a silicone non-slip pad on the base of the keyboard, which is more stable on the desktop. The foot support adopts a two-stage design, and the lifting angle is optional. I still prefer smaller angles of 6 degrees and 9 degrees. After tapping, lift your fingers Easier. There is a cat claw knob in the upper right corner of the keyboard, through which you can directly adjust the system volume, which is much more convenient than the traditional mouse operation volume panel, and the adjustment process is smooth and more intuitive and controllable. This is for those who are used to the knob adjustment method. Said, quite cordial.

This keyboard adopts the sky axis V2 axis body, plus the built-in silicone sound-absorbing pad, the sound of typing on the keyboard is very small, it is very suitable for use in the dead of night, and will not cause noise disturbance to people around you. At the same time, because the shaft body is light, it can be fired with a light press, without effort, and it will not be tiring after a long typing time. Satellite shafts are set around the long keys, such as the space bar, and the touch on both sides is the same as that in the middle, which is very important for those who pursue a perfect feel.

In terms of battery life, this Daryou Small Cube Z82 is also very powerful, with 2000mAh power, it can provide 15 days of use, and you are not afraid of temporary charging when you are on a business trip. If you use it at night, the white backlight effect is soft and not dazzling, and you can also adjust the brightness by Fn + space bar, which is very considerate.

Summarize

Dareu Small Sugar Cube Z82 is exquisite in appearance and comfortable in hand. The cat’s claw knob is lively and cute to adjust the volume. The sky axis is light and quiet and considerate. It is even more cute for little girls to use. Come and try it.

In fact, I have played several times, and more and more domestic manufacturers have begun to make efforts on the peripheral keyboard, so now we are not many years ago, when only cherry is available, not only black, red and blue. Tea and so on, tossing and turning are those kinds of options, which kinds of feel can be chosen, not just membrane keyboards, mechanical keyboards, and even expensive electrostatic capacitors. In fact, each has its own unique axis. The difference in body and feel really makes us really confused when we choose.

When you search JD.com, you will find that traditional brands are also mixed with a large number of emerging domestic brands, such as SKYLOONG experienced today.

In fact, with the crazy popularity of mechanical keyboards today, there are still some different products. Of course, being different from the public also means that the price is high, such as the electrostatic capacitive keyboard that everyone knows. They are all open or open, how to realize it, for example, the common mechanical axis is to control the on-off through the change of the force of the metal shrapnel, relying on the contact of the metal contact, and the static capacitance is to judge the on-off through the change of the capacitance capacity, because there is no Physical contact points, so the life is longer (relatively speaking), as for the optical axis is similar, the difference is that it uses light-emitting elements, light-receiving elements, etc. Only springs and other accessories are mechanical structures, which are similar to static capacitance structures, so in theory, the open circuit and path are judged by the resistance of the light path, without the participation of mechanical contacts, so the service life is also very long, except of course The extremely high lifespan of the redundancy, the optical axis also has the advantages of fast response and no noise, so this new type of axis is also beginning to be popularized.

And Skyloong uses the self-developed customized optical axis V3.0. Everyone knows the benefits of self-developed. In terms of quality control and consistency of the axis, the controllability is much better. Of course, the cost advantage is also one aspect. , the rest is the choice of pressing weight, stroke, linear/paragraph axis.

Because it is game-oriented, I chose the Glacier Optical Axis Bumblebee V3 with the shortest action stroke and the lightest pressure. This kind of fast axis is indeed used for playing games.

The bedding is almost ready, let's open a box?

Compared with the packaging of the past, the current product is more complete and the positioning is clearer from the perspective of the packaging. The word "competition" explains everything.

I always like to give away keycaps and switches. Unfortunately, I didn’t give away the switches this time. I’m actually curious about the internal structure, but I still gave away a lot of keycaps.

Although the dust cover is simple, it's quite thick, and it's over when it's covered.

Only from the keycaps provided, we can see that the keycaps are made of the more common PBT material, two-color injection molding, the biggest feature is that the leather is durable, and there will be no severe wear and tear of the ABS keycaps used in a certain high-priced keyboard back then. In this case, I have not used another main keyboard so far. I am really sorry for its high price.

The Type-C fabric cable and the key puller work well, and the key puller is well received, much easier to use than the previous one.

The color contrast design is basically a method that everyone has started to adopt, and the overall quality is good, so I like it at first sight.

The main blue design, with some pink keycaps, and black transparent shell, although it enhances a little plastic feeling, but from the perspective of appearance and weight, it is still a heavy keyboard.

Although it is a 75% keyboard, it still does not belong to the category of thin, light and portable. Considering that this is a wired product, it is not recommended that you take it with you. After weighing tests, the weight of this keyboard reached 956g and nearly 2 catties. One derogation and one praise, although very important, have nothing to do with workmanship.

After all, I have also dismantled the previous keyboard of Xiaodu. Its solid workmanship and materials are really impressive, but this time I will not dismantle it. Judging from the official announcement, it still continues the original design. The patented Lite gasket The flick structure, multi-layer design, silicone core and high-precision 0.2mm shaft underpad also make this keyboard feel and quiet performance extremely good. The existence of the positioning board also makes the overall support of the keyboard good enough, and the material used is really good. Carefully.

75% of keyboards also means that the use of combination keys is normal, and the key functions do not exist alone.

My personal favorite, the volume adjustment knob, is made of aluminum alloy CNC cutting, which can be regarded as the finishing touch, and its function is still bright, we will talk about it later.

The included key puller is really nice to use.

After removing the keycap, you can see the switch body itself, which is basically similar to the conventional mechanical switch body from the appearance. The customized design also means that the shaft is also detachable and replaceable.

The bottom structure adopts a black transparent design, so the internal structure can be vaguely seen. With the foot pads, the structure is very stable, and the three-outlet design is also more flexible.

The three-stage foot support design is also reasonable, and can be adjusted to meet different needs. From the side, you can also see that the overall keyboard is also ergonomically designed. There is an obvious concave, and it is relatively close to the original purchase in terms of user experience. An old product with the feel of a back panel.

How did you feel initially? As far as the workmanship is concerned, there are some small surprises. The products produced by the small worm are indeed more and more regular, and the progress is very obvious. For example, the continuation of the patent structure of Lite gasket also continues to give full play to its own research and development advantages. Good, of course. To continue, such as self-developed optical axis, still adopt detachable replacement design and so on.

As for the keyboard, it’s either typing or playing games. Everything needs to return to the experience, so how does it feel?

The large character design is the most intuitive. It is as special as the transparent keycap. It is a pity that it is also opaque. If there is a need for light transmission, it is recommended that you can choose other models, which are supported.

Of course, this is only a difference in style. From the perspective of lighting effects, there is also continuity. Thanks to the powerful software, there is still no need to worry about lighting effects. For lazy people, 164 kinds of lighting effects and the most commonly used There may be only a few, anyway, there is always one that suits you.

The details are also in place, such as the criticized WIN key, is it a headache to misuse it often? Just lock it directly, and after locking, it will cooperate with the lighting effect, well, it is very intuitive, red.

For other special effects, just show a few.

By the way, I almost forgot this detail. The volume knob can not only be customized through software, but also very easy to use. It integrates the functions of increasing, decreasing the volume and mute.

After talking here, we should talk about the game, yes, this is a keyboard with a strong gaming style, supports a large number of custom macros, and supports editing at the same time, such as LOL, DOTA2 has a large number of macro commands, details down to the keystrokes, The delay can be modified and adjusted completely according to your usage habits.

But at this age, I often play old games, and of course I also play some new games. I usually play stand-alone games. As World of Warcraft is about to stop, it is true that I don’t play much anymore, but it’s just a button experience. For the game, it is really not too much.

For example, "Far Cry 6", with the mouse at hand, really complements each other, the keys are brisk, the rebound is crisp, and the sound of the keys is relatively soft, without a strong sense of paragraph and rigidity, even if it is played by a girl It is relatively easy .

Some people will also say that the black axis is suitable for FPS? It is indeed true for professional players, but for most ordinary consumers and players, the game is more entertainment than competition, but the stability brought by the optical axis is still quite good.

Is "Cyberpunk 2077" still playing? The game is indeed a good game, although there are indeed many bugs.

Speaking of returning to the experience, not having a small keyboard is more a process of getting used to it. From another perspective, the game itself does not really need a large keyboard, and the global consistency brought by the self-developed optical axis and keycaps It really surprised me. Simply put, I am really willing to use it to play games.

Compared with the lightness of the previous ultra-thin keyboard, the "heaviness" of this keyboard is basically carried through the whole body, but it can be called "lifting weight as if it is light", what is heavy? What is light? Heavy weight, thick overall, heavy color, solid and stable operation; the lightness and stability of the keys themselves, the easy locking of the WIN key, and the portability of the independent volume keys all make this keyboard distinctive, so it is only used for playing games? No, no, it can be more comprehensive, except that it is not particularly convenient to use without a numeric keypad, the difference is not much. Of course, if the button is too light, there will be some small troubles. Occasionally, when the finger is placed to read the friend’s information, the key will be accidentally triggered. Of course, it will be fine after getting used to it, because this is not a defect, but just a change of habit.

Let’s talk about Skyloong again, perpendicular to the peripherals, the research and development is indeed not inferior to many traditional brands, even without the burden of the brand, Skyloong’s performance can be said to be more outstanding, and the details are also done better, and self-developed although The initial investment is large, and the quality and cost can be controlled more easily, which is why the price of GK75 is still controllable even with the optical axis, and the price of 359 is indeed not expensive.

I have experienced many Durga keyboards. However, this time Dujia adjusted the new brand strategy, starting with this HI KEYS wireless dual-mode mechanical keyboard, and launched a more diversified Hi series product. So you may wish to join me to appreciate this younger and warmer new Dujia product.

Only from the outer packaging, we can already see the changes in Durga. Hi KEYS with more lively fonts, smiling faces made up of keyboard shapes and various cartoon gestures, all of which declare to the world that I am very young~

There are not many accessories in the whole box, only a user guide and a Type-C to Type-A cable.

Of course, as a wireless dual-mode keyboard, the receiver is indispensable. The receiver of the Hi KEYS keyboard is located in the storage compartment on the back, which is more portable and not easy to lose. Interestingly, the storage compartment cover adopts a magnetic suction method, which can be removed with a light push. Bluetooth wireless mode (5.0) supports two sets of Bluetooth device storage connections and quick switching of shortcut keys. 2.4G wireless mode supports a set of Bluetooth devices to store connections and switch quickly with shortcut keys.

Both the connection mode selection and the switch dial are made of indium-plated material this time, which adds a lot of refinement to the entire keyboard. The practice of switching the connection mode through the knob also adds a lot of playability.

The appearance design has changed greatly from the previous Dujia style. Although it is still a minimalist shape, it is obviously younger in terms of color matching and keycap details.

The Hi KEYS keyboard adopts a simple layout of 84 keys, except for the number keypad, most of the functions are retained. But I still hope that in the near future, Durga will launch a 104-key arrangement based on this keyboard, so that we have more choices.

The difference this time is that the shape of the keycaps has changed a lot, the corners of the keycaps have become rounded, and the keycaps in the shape of toast bread and the active paint look like they will produce a kind of The wish to tap. It is precisely because of the change in the shape of the keycap that the dirt-resistant and wear-resistant ABS material is used in the material.

ESC, space bar, and enter key are painted in yellow, and black texture is added, which forms a strong contrast with the dark and light colors of other keycaps, which is very beautiful.

Probably out of the consideration of the overall display effect, the keycaps use a shading design, which is also a common practice of many high-end brands.

The keyboard specifications are 322mm long, 138mm wide, and 33.7mm high. Portability is not bad, I have no problem putting it in my usual backpack.

On Hi KEYS, the DURGOD logo is placed on the border at the lower left corner of the keyboard.

And the EST.2016 in the lower right corner means that the Dujia brand was established in 2016. Time flies like a fleeting moment, and it has been 7 years since then. In the past 7 years, we have witnessed the upgrade of a series of keyboard models, and also witnessed the process of a brand becoming stronger.

The large keys are designed with satellite shafts to ensure consistent feel, which is a practice adopted by almost all models of Duga keyboards.

From the gap of the satellite shaft, we can see the white steel plate with the DUGA LOGO. The built-in steel plate not only brings better stability to the keyboard, but also brings better feedback to each tap.

In terms of shafts, Duga Hi Keys provides two options of tea shafts and silent red shafts. The shafts are Kaihua Turbo series shafts, which is a very good representative series of shafts at present. Personally, I chose the brown shaft because I like the sense of rhythm when I hit it. It has a trigger stroke of 2.0±0.4mm, a trigger force of 40±10gf, and an ultra-long service life of up to 80 million times.

The back of the keyboard is relatively flat, with a large DURGOD lettering. This LOGO is designed with a high brightness. The new keyboard is covered with a protective film, which will be more beautiful after being removed. However, if you remove it, you will lose the protection. To remove it or not to remove it is a question.

Durga has ergonomically designed the key curve of Hi Keys, and with the independent foot support, it is easy for us to obtain a more comfortable feeling of use.

The backlight of Duga Hi Keys is a white ambient light, which supports brightness adjustment, and has 8 ambient light modes to choose from: constant light mode, ripple mode, rotation mode, breathing mode, reflection mode, response mode, laser mode and wave mode. Occasionally change a mode, change a new experience, and keep the feeling of freshness all the time is quite good.

The tea shaft with a clear sense of paragraph has clear tactile feedback, and it has a great sense of rhythm when it is tapped, and it feels silky and addictive.

As a wireless and backlit mechanical keyboard, battery life is also an important concern for us. Durga Hi Keys has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery, which has a battery life of up to 70-90 days when the backlight is turned on, and 360 days when the backlight is turned off and Bluetooth is used. Although I can accept a relatively small battery life for the backlight, but everyone is more willing to be lazy, the long battery life even makes me forget the problem of power consumption.

Having said so much, the point is that I am very happy to see that while consolidating its position in the mechanical keyboard industry, Dujia is determined to forge ahead, constantly changing to improve itself and develop more diversified products. Looking forward to it, more Hi Keys series products will be launched in the future, this experience is here first, see you next time~

The key caps are made of PC material, the characters are clear and eye-catching, and there will be no oily phenomenon when you hit the key caps. Because of the elastic arm Gasket structure, the overall stacking of the keyboard is quite sufficient, that is, the overall structure is a screwless design. In this way, when in use, one is: the sound of the shaft knocking can be further weakened, because the inside of the key body is blessed with Poron cotton. The second is: it can make the feel of all shafts more consistent, which is more suitable for friends who code and write codes.

Good ergonomic design, even if you use it for a long time, you will not feel tired. The Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard has a compact design and removes the traditional number keypad. One is to facilitate operation, and the other is to save more space for the desktop.

Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard supports 2.4G+Bluetooth+wired three-mode connection and full-color RGB lighting effects. In terms of the connection of the three modes, from my actual experience, it is easy to use and can be switched seamlessly. It is worth mentioning that the Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard also supports Windows and Mac dual systems, and the switching is simple and stable.

After pulling out the key, you can see that it is equipped with a sky axis V3 axis body, which supports hot swapping, and has a good guarantee for the button feel. The game and code experience are very smooth and full, and the sound of pressing is very Q. The strength is also very moderate, you will not get tired after typing or playing games for a long time, and the response speed is also very fast.

Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard, after power on, full-color RGB lighting effects, a variety of lights can be switched, which can make your desktop more cool.

I mainly experienced the three-mode connection and switching of the Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard. The 2.4G+Bluetooth+wired three-mode connection channel is smooth in multiple scenarios. need. In the performance of the game, the Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard is also quite good. In the actual combat process, in terms of game use and adaptability, its key response and tactile feedback have good performance, and it rebounds quickly when it hits the bottom. There is no sense of paragraph, and the noise is small. Generally speaking, Dareu A81 three-mode mechanical keyboard gives me the feeling that it is especially suitable for user groups who often switch between different devices. The Gasket structure of the elastic arm is combined with the blessing of Poron cotton, which makes it feel excellent. When we code, the knocking sound is small and more Q-bouncing, which will not annoy others. The sense of quality is full, and its excellent design makes people love it.
