1. Appearance

Moka Ae75 is the second product launched by Moka after Ae98. It uses the same design language as Ae98 in design. There is still a conspicuous family-style acrylic light board in the upper right corner. There is a separate Led lamp bead under the light board. When turning on the lights, it’s relatively easy. The light board supports customization and can be DIY. There are three-way outlet slots on the back, three-mode and dual-system switching switches, snap-on 2.4G wireless receivers, and a metal counterweight in the middle, but it is actually a plastic plate decoration, which can be regarded as an ordinary back. A little more embellishment.

2. Structure and noise reduction

Moka Ae75 uses Moka’s own I-shaped silica gel to realize the Gasket structure and cooperate with the PC positioning board, which has obvious deformation, is very soft and elastic, and still feels great; for noise reduction, it adopts an integrated sandwich silicone shaft underpad and EVA Bottom cotton is relatively good at suppressing cavity sound.

3. Shaft body and satellite shaft

The performance of the satellite axis is very good, the rebound is crisp and neat, and there is no space key stroke or steel wire sound. As for the switch body, Moca main switch body, cherry powder switch and sea salt switch are used, which are manufactured by seawood, and the retail price is one yuan each. The quality of this shaft body is very good within 400 yuan for the three-mode finished product. I have a sea salt switch, which is a long-stage switch in advance. It has a strong sense of paragraph, and the bottoming sound is also better. The coding experience is very comfortable.

4. RGB and keycaps

The RGB effect of Moca Ae75 is very good, the brightness is sufficient, and it is also very smooth. The keycaps are made of original height, PBT material, and two-color process. The keycaps corresponding to the Fn level are engraved with laser, which is convenient and practical.

5. Summary and Purchase Suggestions

Moka Ae75, single-mode 299 yuan, three-mode 399 yuan. The advantages of Moca Ae75 include soft elastic Gasket structure, super bright RGB lighting effect, first-class satellite switch, excellent seawood foundry switch body, and comprehensive user experience is excellent. If you like these advantages and can appreciate the appearance of Ae75, then Ae75 is totally worth buying. In addition, there are kits to choose from, single-mode 199, three-mode 299, the price is also very impressive.

I believe that many friends have a kind of worry when shopping, worry about the premium for high prices, and fear of cutting corners for low prices. Who dares to sort by price these days and order the one with the lowest price. There are too many routines, sometimes the keycaps or other accessories are clicked, and some are other disgusting people, such as the graphics card in the girls' dormitory.

Recently, I bought a pair of mechanical keyboards in the early 500s. Note that it is a pair, not a set. Can a mechanical keyboard with an entry-level price be played? Just follow me out of the box.

When it comes to entry-level mechanical keyboards, many friends will immediately think of picking up leaks. In fact, if you occasionally see a car with a mechanical keyboard on the shopping guide platform, you can miss it at around 100. But most of them are mechanical keyboards with 87 keys and monochrome backlight. It has to be said that this is also a successful marketing method, and it is a good return for watchers who are good at getting stuck and picking up leaks.

But what I will share with you today is a set of cool 107-key gaming-style mechanical keyboard that doesn’t need to be stuck, missed or tossed – Dimo ​​F8.

The 104-key full keyboard is more friendly to 7080 and other users who use computers for a long time. In the past, the keyboards we have come into contact with are all 104 keys, so even if they are not financial personnel, many users are more accustomed to the full keyboard layout.

The main reason for the initial implementation of 87-key domestic mechanical keyboards is actually to save costs. The essence of a mechanical keyboard is composed of multiple shafts, and one shaft is essentially a switch.

For example, the price of 50 high-tech green shafts is about 26 yuan, which is about 50 cents (reference price on the Internet), while the price of cherry shafts is at least two yuan.

Another advantage of the 87-key mechanical keyboard is that it is suitable for the small desks of Internet cafes that have not been upgraded in the early days. The 87-key mechanical keyboard has fewer number keys, which can save a lot of desktop space. You know, in the early CS1.6 era, e-sports players chose to rest and put the keyboard, just to make room for the right hand to operate the gaming mouse more conveniently.

Although Dimo ​​F8 is a 104-key mechanical keyboard, it adopts a compact and simple design, which can greatly improve the utilization of desktop space.

The four borders are designed with ultra-narrow borders, which is extremely simple and more capable.

Another significant advantage of the compact design is that the shortcut keys of the gaming mouse will not be accidentally touched due to the extended metal cover.

The classic design of metal upper cover and floating keycap is used, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the keyboard.

The metal cover of Dimo ​​F8 is tinted, which is not dazzling and more attractive. The large cross-cut lines of the brushed metal on the top cover add a lot of color to the keyboard as a whole.

In terms of backlighting, a red backlight is used.

Dimo F8 red light version, the keycap is made of ABS two-color injection molding. For the F8 cherry version, PBT is used.

PBT has high heat resistance, toughness, fatigue resistance, self-lubrication, and low friction. Resistant to hot water, alkalis, acids, oils, PBT is one of the toughest engineering thermoplastic materials, it is a semi-crystalline material, has very good chemical stability, mechanical strength, electrical insulation properties and thermal stability. These materials have good stability under a wide range of environmental conditions. The wear resistance of the keycaps made of PBT is quite good, and its high wear resistance even reflects the characteristics of not oiling for a long time on the keyboard, which has also been loved by many senior players. With such a strong hardness, it will be slightly harder in terms of hand feeling, but when the pattern is infected, the color reproduction is high and the color is not easy to fade. Its inherent light color is more suitable for the processing of white and other keyboards. Friends who like light-colored mechanical keyboards can pay more attention.

In terms of the axis body, the F8 red light version uses an optical axis, which has a lifespan of 100 million times and a response speed of 0.2ms. It not only has a longer lifespan and faster speed, but also has better waterproof and dustproof performance.

In terms of hand feel, it is similar to the classic MX blue switch, which has a clear sense of paragraph, but the pressure and noise are much lower. When entering a large amount of text, the wrist is not so tired.

Dimo F8 adopts the design of six rows of keycaps with four levels of height, which presents an arc shape as a whole, so as to fit the physiological signs of the human body.

The bottom cover is made of non-metallic material, the classic two-stage height adjustment and large area non-slip floor pads, but the diamond-shaped texture is added, which can be regarded as a small art.

According to the naming method of a technology company, Dimo ​​F8 Red Light Edition should be called F8 Youth Edition, that is to say, it has changed the optical axis and simplified the backlight from the mature design of the original F8 Cherry Edition.

For friends who are looking for entry-level mechanical keyboards, this high-end product with reduced configuration is more cost-effective.

In recent years, technological products have been replaced rapidly, and the development of mechanical keyboards is also constantly moving forward. A few years ago, people paid more attention to the brand when buying keyboards, but with the continuous improvement of the aesthetics of modern young people, the demand has increased, and the color matching, shaft body, convenience and comfort of the keyboard have become the focus of modern consumer groups. . At the same time, in order to meet the major needs of consumers, design developers have launched a variety of novel products such as high-value, manual DIY, and cross-border joint names.

Since the keycaps are designed to be opaque, the keyboard is equipped with a backlight system with ice blue lighting effects, and the backlight system can be adjusted in 4 levels. The backlight shines through the gap between the keycaps, so you don't have to worry about not being able to see the keyboard when you use it at night.

The back of the keyboard is equipped with four long strips of non-slip feet, which are ergonomically designed. The silicone feet and non-slip feet on the back can effectively ensure that the keyboard is stable when used on a smooth desktop, and you can also use it as you like.

There are 4 connection methods, namely Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 3.0, wired connection, and wireless 2.4G connection, which can be connected to multiple devices at the same time. The multi-mode connection method of the Pennefather MT510PRO mechanical keyboard also means that the keyboard basically does not choose the device or the system, no matter it is a mobile phone, tablet, computer, etc., it can be connected at the same time, and can be quickly switched between devices , I have to say that the Rapoo MT510PRO mechanical keyboard is really efficient.

Recently, I have been typing a lot, and the desktop area is relatively small. The previous 108-key keyboard took up a lot of space, so I replaced it with the new X4 keyboard from Black Canyon, which is wired plus 2.4G dual-mode, with keyboard backlight, and magnetic wrist rest. With a plastic dust cover, and best of all, it's a compact-class layout with a numeric keypad in a small footprint.

The version selected this time is black and white keycap color matching and Kaihua blue switch.

Kaihua's blue switch has the strongest paragraph sense, the strongest mechanical sense, and a full sense of typing rhythm, but the blue switch is the most noisy when used. Lan Kaihua's switch has a refreshing and crisp sense of paragraph, plus the unique "click" sound, it is a very good enjoyment to type when you don't disturb the people around you, but because of the very strong sense of paragraph of the blue switch, it is very Few gamers choose to use blue-axis mechanical keyboards, and more office users choose to use them. Users like me who type a lot are one of the target customer groups of Kaihua Blue Axis.

I deliberately took the previous picture under warm yellow light. This picture is its original color. Its original color tone should be pure white, but only the upper part of the keycap is made of pure white color. Half of it is black, and it looks like a floating keycap at first glance.

The first reaction I got when I got the packaging box of Black Canyon, I thought it was an 87-key layout keyboard, but after opening it, I realized that it was a 99-key keyboard.

The Black Canyon X4 keyboard comes with two useful things: a fully matching magnetic wrist rest and a plastic dust cover. More and more keyboards come standard with plastic dust covers, but few keyboards come standard with wrist rests.

The interface of the Black Canyon X4 keyboard is a Type-C interface, which has two functions: wired connection and charging the keyboard. Because the Black Canyon X4 keyboard is a dual-mode keyboard (2.4G/wired), it is dual-purpose. The Type-C interface should be the most widely adapted interface at present.

The 2.4G receiver is placed on the back of the keyboard, and there is a dedicated storage slot design, which is great, so you don’t have to worry about the storage of the receiver. The two-stage foot support adapts to the typing habits of different people, and a physical switch button is used to switch the keyboard. (Tip: Black Canyon X4 keyboard can also be directly plugged into the Type-C cable to use the wired mode when the power is not turned on).

In wireless mode, the power display is displayed by three small lights next to the ESC key on the keyboard.

In addition to the two-stage foot support design, the Black Canyon X4 keyboard also has an ergonomic curved surface design, which fits the curve of the hand very well when typing.

The keycaps on the photo are actually a little deceptive, it looks like a floating keycap, but it is actually a standard OEM height keycap, only the upper part is made of white, and the lower part is made of black, so both the appearance and the The closure used.

The version I bought this time is the sky blue switch body of Kaihua’s new BOX switch, the paragraph switch, which feels more like the blue switch of the typewriter version.

Different from Cherry, domestic shaft manufacturers like Kaihua have been insisting on developing new shafts. They have developed a lot of new shafts in the range of paragraph shafts and linear shafts. The naming of various shafts It has completely surpassed the category of color.

The feel of the sky blue BOX switch is similar to that of the green switch, with a trigger pressure of 45g, a trigger of 1.8mm and a total stroke of 3.6mm.

The Cherry MX switch is a product of the 1980s and has a history of more than 30 years. It can fully meet people's use in ten or even twenty years based on people's requirements for keyboard performance at that time, but in the second decade of the 21st century In 2019, the popularity of the Internet and the popularity of e-sports drew people's attention to the mechanical keyboard, a "magic toy" with various shapes, especially the combination of high-value, high-quality Versailles culture and faster, higher and stronger competitive spirit. After that, the requirements of players and enthusiasts for mechanical keyboards increased exponentially. The structural shortcomings of Cherry MX switches such as low life, poor waterproof and dustproof, and poor stability undoubtedly hindered the rapid development of the industry. unprecedented attention.

The new sky blue BOX shaft is upgraded to 100 million times of service life on the basis of the original BOX shaft, which is more durable and reliable. It is worth mentioning that the BOX shaft has a sealed dust cover, which has the effect of dustproof and waterproof, so that the BOX shaft can eliminate interference factors and achieve a long life.

What consumers may not have considered, Kaihua has considered.

The new Kaihua sky blue switch used in the Black Canyon X4 keyboard perfectly meets the needs of writers in terms of feel, and has a super striking feel, just like typing on a typewriter. Of course, the problem is that it is a bit noisy, which is the same as a typewriter, so this keyboard is actually only suitable for one person to use in the study.

Fortunately, I am also alone hehehe, so I can let go of myself and type.

The typing experience of a keyboard with a wrist rest is indeed a level better than that of a keyboard without a wrist rest.

In fact, when I bought a mechanical keyboard before, I always put something on my wrist, which can relieve the fatigue after typing for a long time. So in fact, whether to wear a wrist rest or not is an important factor for me to decide whether to buy it or not.

The wrist rest of the Black Canyon X4 keyboard is also a detachable design, assembled as a magnetic adsorption, and it is very convenient to disassemble and assemble.

Because it is a black and white color design, the visual thickness is actually much smaller than its actual thickness, which makes the whole keyboard a little more agile.

Finally, I put a display picture of my typing desktop, with a white desktop and a white keyboard under the warm yellow light, and after taking a shower, I comfortably wiped my hair and sat in front of the computer to type and write articles, feeling like the typewriter coming from the fingertips The touch is a pleasure.
