Foreword:


Since learning computer in 1995, I have been used to the 104-key full keyboard. In fact, I am neither financial, nor have I played King of Fighters on the same keyboard with my friends for a long time, but it is just a habit. In recent years, there have been more and more things, so many that a computer can't finish them. Strictly speaking, I work with 1.5 computers more often, with a desktop computer at work and at home, and a game notebook on both sides. In addition, I often throw the camera and other digital products on the table, and the space is even more insufficient.


Speaking of which, 87-key compact mechanical keyboards have long been available, but in the past, the number keys were reduced. If you want to replace a new keyboard, of course you want to do it in one step.





Unpacking articles:



I believe that many friends, like me, play games after work, which belongs to the type of light gamers. Therefore, the selected peripheral products will take both into consideration.


In fact, my desk is not big. Next to the 32-inch monitor, there is not only a host computer but also another gaming laptop. The desk is not a serious computer desk, but a solid wood desk. As for the large white piece on the desk, you thought it was a desktop, but it was actually just a super-large mouse pad. And under the keyboard, you thought it was spray-painted, but it was actually another mouse pad.



As an old user of Dimo ​​peripheral products, the Dimo ​​mechanical keyboards I have come into contact with before are all full keyboards, especially the F4 ghost, which is a very special semi-modular mechanical keyboard. There is an illusion that all Dimo ​​keyboards have 104 keys. Unexpectedly, Dimo's new product this time is an 87-key three-mode mechanical keyboard.


From the outer packaging, we can know that the three-mode includes 2.4G wireless, Bluetooth and wired, which is also the standard configuration of the three-mode.



This is a typical compact 87-key keyboard with color-blocked keycaps and a business-like style.



The biggest pleasure of a compact mechanical keyboard is to save desktop space. Of course, in addition to the compact design and reduced buttons, wireless also frees the keyboard from the shackles of cables, and the desktop is naturally more fresh and concise.




The four borders are extremely compact, there is nothing but the keycaps, and it looks more refined.



Our five fingers are all different lengths, so a flat keyboard is clearly not ergonomic. The Dimo ​​F87 Star Destroyer adopts a design with six rows of keycaps and four levels of height, which presents an arc as a whole, so as to fit the physiological signs of the human body.



The design of the floating keycap is still used, the panel seems to be non-metallic, and the dark gray panel looks low-key.




After adding yellow accents to the gray tone, the entire keyboard seems to come alive. It is worth mentioning that the keycaps used by the Star Destroyer are PBT, which are also two-color injection molding, but the keycaps have low light transmission.




The Star Destroyer also has 16.8 million RGB colors, and it can also be DIYed through software. However, due to the wireless keyboard, the backlight intensity is much lower than that of other mechanical keyboards of Dimo, and even the backlight of the characters is relatively darker. Basically, the backlight of the characters cannot be seen in the environment with the lights on, or the backlight is low.



As for the shaft body, the default is the shaft body customized by Dimo. From the feel, it should also be an optical shaft, that is, a similar type of optical shaft.



The Star Destroyer is designed with interchangeable shafts, compatible with all MX shafts, and basically all mainstream shafts on the market can be replaced with Golang. It is quite good for friends who have extreme requirements for hand feeling, or who like DIY.



Let's take a look at the details on the back, the non-slip foot pads on the back.



Two-stage height adjustment can meet the input habits of different users.



There is also a magnetic detachable hand rest design, which can make the wrists of friends who need to record for a long time more comfortable.



The specific size is 358X134X38mm, no matter how tight the desktop space is, it can accommodate it. Small and exquisite, it can also support three-mode and hot-swappable. For those who have many computers and many desktop decorations, the DIMO F87 Star Destroyer is a very interesting peripheral.

Keyboard layout is my first priority when buying a keyboard. The layout determines the size, proportion, and usage habits of the keyboard. I don’t know what kind of layout everyone likes. , I only like compact arrangements, and the current trend is that fewer and fewer manufacturers are launching full-size keyboards. After all, the shafts and keycaps in those keys that are not used are money.


And this year, there is one kind of combination that is particularly popular, and manufacturers have launched products one after another. This is the 75% combination. This arrangement is actually a variant of the previously popular 98 arrangement. Of course, their ancestors can be traced back to Cherry's 1800 series, a compact arrangement designed to be placed in a cabinet. The common feature of the 75% arrangement and the 98-key arrangement is that the arrow keys are moved to the left to occupy the seldom-used right function keys to save space. And 75% will discard the number area and only keep 4 commonly used editing keys, which will be moved to the left next to the main key area together with the arrow keys. The 98-key version will retain the number area. Because I never use the number area, 75% is my first choice when choosing a keyboard.


The gold powder and fast silver made by TTC with two-stage long springs have almost become the best choice for a linear axis for a period of time (you can even add one of them), and the advantage of the linear axis is to change a spring and change the pressure in grams. It can make a wonderful change in the feel. For example, the ACE switch launched before, ACE is not considered a new switch, but it was rarely equipped with mass-produced keyboards at first, and most of them were used by enthusiasts to match gold powder with large keys. It was not until this year that some keyboards were equipped with ACE switches, so all The feel of the key ACE axis is also quite exciting.


After talking so much, I finally talk about today's protagonist, the 75% keyboard ZX75 gravity wave from the IQUNIX aluminum factory, TTC ACE axis version.



The packaging is still in the usual aluminum factory style, with a girdle specially designed for each color, and only three colors of yellow, white and gray are used like the gravity wave color.



The accessories are also quite rich, such as data cables, key pullers, usb adapters, small brushes and mac replacement keycaps, adapters and data cables are all specially customized for keyboard color matching. The details are quite careful, which greatly improves the texture of the product. This is the performance that a product with industrial design as its selling point should have.


However, Gravity Wave is a traditional color scheme, and there are not many keycaps included, only cmd and opt used by mac (themed color matching keyboards of aluminum factories are usually equipped with multiple themed keycaps including space and esc)





The ZX75 uses an industrial-style design with a wide frame. Although the upper and lower covers are made of plastic, the materials and workmanship are all online. The texture is soft and the color is uniform, which is obviously much better than the plastic shell used for low-priced products. Moreover, the exposed screws on the four corners and the fake cooling hole decoration in the upper right corner give the whole keyboard a sense of industrial style. The white and gray keycap color matching and the knob design in the upper right corner further enhance the retro feeling. With a small amount of yellow keycaps, not only did not destroy this feeling, but it added a bit of personality to the usually dull industrial style. This makes the appearance of the whole keyboard very good, and only a few small details are used to make the design feel full. The design skills of the aluminum factory are really good.



The screws even use a more beautiful inner hexagon instead of the traditional Phillips screws, which has a stronger industrial feel




There is also a chic black knob in the upper right corner. It seems that the keyboard likes to add this knob recently, but the knob of the aluminum factory is obviously more design sense. The metal material is round and smooth. It is very advanced. It is used to control the volume of the system by default. At the same time, it can also be pressed to play/pause the media. Although it is not much different from the convenience of shortcut keys, the knob can bring users Come to a sense of ritual and the pleasure of playing. However, this button does not support custom functions, which is a pity.



In addition to the design of the front, side and bottom, there are two small transparent windows on the top of the keyboard. In addition to decoration, the RGB version can also reveal the ambient light (unfortunately, this is not the RGB version. YY look effect)





The pure yellow bottom surface instantly turned into a cartoon style, and the magnetic metal feet once again demonstrated the detail control that the aluminum factory designer could not suppress: although it is not as convenient as the two-stage type, it is not as adjustable as the two-stage type. But it is advanced, it just has a feeling. Put aside the practical things first, and the tonality must be full. This is also an important reason why many people like IQUNIX keyboards.


Like the flagship OG80 and F97 of the aluminum factory in the same period, the ZX75 supports full-key hot-swappable, RGB backlight, 3 sets of Bluetooth, and 1 set of 2.4G three-mode connection. I won’t go into details about these basics.





The quality of the PBT keycap is super good, the five sides are sublimated, the color is uniform and conspicuous, the lettering is clear, the touch of the keycap is soft and smooth, which is the one I like. As for the nozzle treatment and dyeing defects, this is not the thousand-yuan level Keyboard considerations. I doubt very much that this set of OEM-height keycaps is also made in cooperation with Fingertips. It is definitely at the top level among mass-produced keyboards. However, there are obviously more comfortable KDA height ball caps, why not use them? However, the camping color scheme of ZX75 is also released. The camping series KDA ball cap that 100% uses Fingertip Wenchuang is strongly recommended.




In addition to the advantages of various design senses mentioned above, the biggest special feature of this keyboard is that it is equipped with a full-key TTC ACE switch. It is also the first time I use this kind of switch on a full keyboard. The first feeling is : If the gold powder switch is the super-enhanced version of CHERRY red switch, then the ACE switch is the super-strengthened version of the cherry black switch, which is really very similar to use.




The trigger force of the TTC ACE switch body is 53g, 60g at the bottom, 2mm trigger key travel, and 4mm total key travel. From the parameter point of view, it is much heavier than the gold powder switch with 37g trigger and 45g bottom contact. Cherry black switches are somewhat similar. Due to the increase in the pressure in grams, the ACE axis is more in line with the hand than the gold powder axis. That is to say, although the force you press is large, the force of the keyboard to lift your fingers is also increased, which will reduce the contact between your fingers and the keys. The timing will make it feel less muddled when inputting at high speed. In the era of cherry switches, there was a saying that typing with black switches was the fastest and most comfortable, and this is the reason.



Although the pressure on the ACE axis is high, it is still relatively soft at the beginning, and has a relatively large sense of rebound when it hits the bottom, giving people a very cottony feeling, unlike gold powder and quick silver. It's a bit soft like a Q bomb. It is particularly cool when typing at high speed, and it is soft when pressed, and the keyboard will give you a fast and strong rebound immediately after triggering, allowing you to press a key immediately, and it feels that the typing speed has improved a lot invisibly.



However, if you press 1 or 2 ACE axes alone, it is difficult to experience the smooth flow of high-speed input, and there will be a sense of effort. This is not the correct way to open the ACE axis.


To sum it up, the ACE axis is very suitable for high-speed continuous input, soft but tenacious triggering, and the rebound that is very close to the hand makes it smooth and smooth when typing quickly, and there is a feeling that you can't stop. But when you need to press certain keys alone when playing games, it will appear heavier and more tiring.


In addition, the ACE axis is really suitable as a big key, especially the space, with strong rebound, so it is not suitable to touch it by mistake.



Needless to say, the large key of the ZX75 is an ancestral balance bar. The factory grease is full, smooth and not harsh, and the sound is ok, but changing the keycap is a bit of a headache.



Thanks to the addition of sound-absorbing cotton and shock-absorbing silicone pads, as well as a more reasonable shell layout, the sound performance of the keyboard is quite good, especially the sound of the space is clean and crisp, without any steel wire sound, and there is very little cavity sound. The performance of the product in line with this price.



Among the three recent IQUNIX new products OG80, F97 and ZX75, ZX75 is the most used one. Although the appearance is not as good as the crystal-clear OG80 wormhole, and the texture is not as good as the metal shell F97, but the exquisite and design-like appearance and Practical arrangement makes ZX75 my preferred main keyboard. In my opinion, the ACE axis is not as widely applicable as Gold Powder and Kuaiyin, and is suitable for users who need to quickly input text or prefer a heavier feel.

After using the keyboard for a long time, I find that the freshness of this keyboard is greatly reduced. The main reason is that the color matching of the keycaps is too simple. At this time, changing a set of keycaps will give people a refreshing feeling. . The reason for choosing Lofree keycaps this time is very simple, because it uses 131-key PBT keycaps, which match most mechanical keyboards on the market.



Before this, for the sake of cheapness, I also bought some keycaps made of ABS material. These keycaps are installed on the basic keys, that is, on the letter keys. The problem is that its oil resistance is too poor, the keycaps are dirty, and the wear resistance is also poor, and the keys on the keycaps are a little worn out. This time, the Luofei theme keycaps are all made of PBT material. Its oil resistance and wear resistance have been greatly improved, and it is very good to use.




In terms of color matching, this time Luofei released a lot of customized themed keycaps, and I chose "Shipboard Panda" and "Pharaoh's Golden Journey". The two keycaps have their own characteristics. Next we will Let's learn about these two keycaps separately.




The first is "Shipboard Panda". The style of this keycap is a hardcore military style. On some function keys, we can also see fonts such as "take off" and "ammunition", which are neatly distributed on the keyboard. The layout is just right. Moreover, the letters above are also designed with large characters, and the hardcore design will attract many boys.





The keycap of "Pharaoh's Golden Journey" is the reproduction of the ancient Egyptian civilization on the keycap. As one of the ancient civilizations in the world, the ancient Egyptian civilization has mysterious pyramids, various exquisite murals and pharaohs who symbolize the ultimate authority. The guard of honor can be reflected on this set of keycaps. This mysterious style also deeply attracted me.





The patterns on the theme keycaps of Lofree Luofei are still very rich, but can so many patterns be guaranteed to be clear? I don’t think there is any need to worry at all. Lofree OEM keycaps use five-sided sublimation technology. The pattern is not only clear but also the color is bright and rich. At the same time, with the high content of PBT keycaps, this set of keycaps is wear-resistant and refuses to be greasy!





This set of Lofree keycaps is equipped with 131 keys, which means that whether the mechanical keyboard you use is a 61-key small keyboard or a 108-key large keyboard, you can find the right one in this set of keycaps. The packaging has two layers, upper and lower, and a key puller is included in each set.





The two sets of keycaps "Shipboard Panda" and "Pharaoh's Golden Journey" are very good. There is no need to worry about the aesthetics. Lofree Luofei can be said to be the ceiling of appearance in this piece, and if you are tired of watching it For the mediocre color matching of the keyboard, why not take a look at the Lofree OEM theme keycap series, there is always one that suits you, as the saying goes, "play with keycaps, find Lofree"!

Size and Portability

Now, let's address the question of whether the size of mechanical keyboards matters for portability. Mechanical keyboards are available in various sizes, including full-size, tenkeyless, and compact layouts. The size of a mechanical keyboard can indeed impact its portability, but the significance of this factor ultimately depends on an individual's needs and preferences.

Full-size mechanical keyboards, which include a standard alphanumeric layout as well as a dedicated number pad, are suitable for users who require the full range of keys for tasks such as data entry and accounting. However, their larger size may make them less convenient for on-the-go use.

On the other hand, tenkeyless mechanical keyboards eliminate the number pad to offer a more compact layout, making them more portable without sacrificing the essential keys found on a standard keyboard. This makes them a popular choice for individuals who prioritize portability without compromising practicality.

For the ultimate in portability, compact mechanical keyboards, also known as 60% keyboards, offer a minimalist layout that omits the function row, navigation cluster, and number pad. While this compactness makes them ideal for travel and small workspaces, some users may find it challenging to adapt to the reduced key count.

In conclusion, the size of a mechanical keyboard can indeed impact its portability, but the optimal size ultimately depends on individual preferences and specific use cases. When selecting a mechanical keyboard for portability, it is essential to consider factors such as the intended usage, available workspace, and personal typing habits.

As you embark on your journey into the world of mechanical keyboards, keep in mind that the diverse options available cater to a wide range of preferences and needs.

Understanding the Size and Portability of Mechanical KeyboardsWhen it comes to mechanical keyboards, there are various factors to consider, including the size and portability. Mechanical keyboards have gained popularity in recent years due to their durability, tactile feedback, and customizable features. However, the size of a mechanical keyboard can significantly impact its portability, which is an important consideration for many users.

Mechanical keyboards come in different sizes, including full-size, tenkeyless, and compact. A full-size mechanical keyboard features a standard layout with a full set of keys, including a number pad, function keys, and navigation keys. This type of keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience but may be too large for users who need to carry it around frequently.

On the other hand, a tenkeyless mechanical keyboard, also known as a TKL keyboard, eliminates the number pad, resulting in a more compact and portable design. This makes it easier to transport and can be ideal for users who require a space-saving solution without sacrificing the tactile feel and performance of a mechanical keyboard.

Compact mechanical keyboards, also known as 60% keyboards, take portability to the next level by removing even more keys, including the function row and navigation cluster. These keyboards are incredibly compact and lightweight, making them ideal for on-the-go users, such as travelers and gamers attending LAN events.

The size of a mechanical keyboard directly impacts its portability. Larger keyboards may be cumbersome to carry, especially for users who are frequently on the move. On the other hand, smaller keyboards offer greater convenience and are easier to transport. Additionally, compact keyboards can save valuable desk space and provide a cleaner, more minimalist aesthetic.

When considering the portability of a mechanical keyboard, it's essential to also take into account its weight. While size plays a significant role, a lightweight keyboard can further enhance portability. Keyboards constructed with premium materials, such as aluminum or high-grade plastics, can offer durability without adding unnecessary weight.

Another important aspect to consider is the layout of the keyboard. While compact keyboards may be more portable, they often require a period of adjustment for users accustomed to a full-size layout. However, many users find the trade-off worth it for the convenience of a smaller form factor.

In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards wireless mechanical keyboards, which further enhances portability. Wireless keyboards eliminate the need for a physical connection to a computer, allowing for greater freedom of movement. This can be especially beneficial for users who frequently switch between multiple devices or need a keyboard that can easily be used in different locations.

In conclusion, the size and portability of a mechanical keyboard are important considerations for users on the move. While full-size keyboards offer a traditional typing experience, they may not be the most practical option for frequent travelers or individuals with limited desk space. Compact and wireless mechanical keyboards provide a more portable and convenient solution without compromising on performance. Ultimately, the best keyboard size for portability is subjective and depends on the user's specific needs and preferences.

Factors Affecting Portability of Mechanical KeyboardsWhen it comes to mechanical keyboards, one of the factors that users often consider is portability. The ability to take a mechanical keyboard on the go and use it in various settings is important for many individuals, especially those who use their keyboards for work or gaming. However, the size of mechanical keyboards can greatly impact their portability, and there are several factors that contribute to this.

First and foremost, the overall dimensions of a mechanical keyboard play a significant role in its portability. Keyboards that are compact and have a smaller form factor are generally easier to transport and use in different environments. For example, a 60% or 75% keyboard, which lacks the number pad and some additional keys, is much easier to carry around than a full-sized keyboard. Additionally, compact keyboards may come with detachable cables or folding designs, further enhancing their portability.

Another factor that affects the portability of mechanical keyboards is the materials used in their construction. Keyboards made of lightweight materials, such as aluminum or plastic, are easier to carry and less cumbersome when on the move. On the other hand, keyboards made of heavier materials like steel can add significant weight, making them less convenient for portability.

Key layout and design also play a crucial role in the portability of mechanical keyboards. Keyboards with a standard layout and standard-sized keys are generally more portable as they are easier to adapt to and use, no matter where you are. Additionally, keyboards with a detachable or compact keycap design can make it easier to pack and carry the keyboard without worrying about damaging the keys.

It is also important to consider the connectivity options of a mechanical keyboard when evaluating its portability. Keyboards that offer wireless connectivity options, such as Bluetooth or RF, can be much more portable than those that require a wired connection. This allows users to easily pair the keyboard with different devices and use it in various settings without the hassle of dealing with cables.

The weight of a mechanical keyboard is another key factor to consider when assessing its portability. Lightweight keyboards are much easier to carry around and are less burdensome when used on the go. Many users who travel frequently or work in multiple locations find that a lighter keyboard makes a world of difference in their overall experience.

In conclusion, the size of mechanical keyboards does indeed matter for portability. However, it is not the only factor to consider. The materials used in construction, key layout and design, connectivity options, and weight all play a significant role in determining how portable a mechanical keyboard is. By taking these factors into account, users can make informed decisions about which mechanical keyboards are best suited for their portability needs. Ultimately, finding the right balance between size, weight, and features can ensure that a mechanical keyboard is both portable and highly functional for any user's needs.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Different Sizes for PortabilityMechanical keyboards have gained popularity in recent years due to their tactile feel and enhanced durability compared to traditional membrane keyboards. However, when it comes to choosing the right mechanical keyboard for portability, the size does matter. In this article, we will explore the benefits and drawbacks of different sizes of mechanical keyboards for portability.

Full-size mechanical keyboards, which typically include the number pad, function keys, and navigation cluster, are not the most portable option. These keyboards are larger and heavier, making them less convenient to carry around. However, the full-size layout provides the most comfortable typing experience for those who require the additional keys for their work or gaming needs. Full-size mechanical keyboards are ideal for stationary use, such as in an office or home setup, where portability is not the primary concern.

On the other hand, tenkeyless (TKL) mechanical keyboards, which eliminate the number pad to reduce size and weight, are a more portable option. TKL keyboards are popular among gamers and professionals who value portability without sacrificing essential keys for productivity. The compact design of TKL keyboards allows for easy transportation in a backpack or laptop bag, making them a suitable choice for users who frequently travel or work in various locations.

Furthermore, compact or 60% mechanical keyboards take portability to the next level by removing even more keys and functions, leaving only the essential alphanumeric keys and a few others. These ultra-compact keyboards are incredibly lightweight and space-saving, making them the perfect option for users who prioritize portability above all else. Compact mechanical keyboards are favored by on-the-go professionals, writers, and programmers who need a reliable typing tool in a compact form factor, especially when working in confined spaces or on the move.

While the benefits of portability are evident in smaller mechanical keyboards, there are drawbacks to consider. One of the significant drawbacks is the compromise of the typing experience. The reduced size and key count may require some time to adapt and can lead to a less comfortable and efficient typing experience, especially for those accustomed to full-size keyboards. Additionally, compact keyboards may lack dedicated function keys and navigation cluster, which can be a disadvantage for users who rely on these additional keys for specific tasks or shortcuts.

Another drawback of smaller mechanical keyboards is the limited customizability and aftermarket keycap options. The non-standard layout of compact keyboards might restrict the availability of replacement keycap sets, limiting customization options for users who enjoy personalizing their keyboard aesthetics.

In conclusion, the size of mechanical keyboards does matter for portability. Each size offers its own set of benefits and drawbacks, catering to different user preferences and needs. While full-size keyboards provide the most comfortable typing experience at the expense of portability, compact keyboards prioritize portability while sacrificing some functionality and typing comfort. Ultimately, the choice of keyboard size for portability depends on the individual's specific requirements and priorities. Whether one values a comfortable typing experience, ultimate portability, or a balance of both, the diverse range of mechanical keyboard sizes offers something for everyone in need of a reliable and portable typing tool.
