Mechanical keyboards must be familiar to everyone. In the peripheral circle, they are undoubtedly among the best sharp tools. As the saying goes: "If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools." In the past, when we purchased mechanical hard drives, Most of them are based on the axis body, brand, and price. The most common appearance is nothing more than black/white color matching, which has no appreciation at all. A little deeper is various joint names, just more colors, but it has become popular recently. Lofree is doing something again, what's wrong?

——Never Expected Series

Can Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao play customization? Easily create a "unique" mechanical keyboard of your own, in order to find out. Yes, I went into the pit to test the water first, so I came up with this "Amway" article today. To put it simply, it is that Lofree provides a wealth of keycaps for users to choose from. We can choose keycaps, It's interesting to DIY the shell to get the "needed" keyboard, isn't it?

It's not a skin... no, it's a skin, but it's just a physical keycap

When I saw this picture at the time, I thought it was a skin of a certain input method, O(∩_∩)O haha~ I got on the car because I liked a certain skin. In fact, I have played a lot of keyboards , but it's the first time I've seen this kind of gameplay. Closer to home, let's start with a driving tutorial.

Make up the ticket and get on the train: WX so-and-so search for "Luo Fei Build" - select "Xiaoqiao Keyboard" - select "Keycap" -OK! Simple isn't it? I chose the Xiaoqiao 100-bit cement gray color scheme, and the [Skin] choice is the [Street Attitude] keycap. There are many creative keycaps, and it feels cute.

The moment I received the product, I thought it was a good keycap, but I didn’t expect it to be a separate type, that is to say, I will receive two boxes, namely the street attitude keycap and the Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard, which need to be assembled by myself , feel the fun of DIY.

Street attitude keycaps: Ta’s design is rather cute, and its appearance is yyds. It hits the vision directly. From this photo, you can find that the pattern of this skin keycap is cute. Well, it’s really exquisite. It adopts large fonts, cute patterns, black, white and gray There are different colors, and the Esc key is as dazzling as a lone ranger.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard: the body supports three modes, that is, Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4G receiving, and Type-c wired mode. The three modes can be switched at will. In this way, the use environment of Xiaoqiao is very Wide range, no matter it is usually in the PC office or game scene, it can also be connected to mobile phones, tablets, TVs, boxes and other devices.

List of accessories: certificate, manual, warranty card, key puller, 1 Type-C data cable, 3 AAA batteries.

Do it yourself to have enough food and clothing, and at the same time experience the joy of "assembly"! Hello everyone, my name is Foxconn Assembly Line, and my job number is 9527 Xiaohong. My daily job is to assemble keyboards.

Cough... Cough... Stop making trouble, is it difficult to get started, in fact, moving the keys is super simple, just move them one by one to the small warped body shell according to the position of the keycaps.

By the way, the Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard (cement gray color) in my hand uses Jiadalong G Yellow Switch Pro. How to say this kind of switch? The knocking sound is completely different from the crackling and crisp sound of tea switches and green switches. The sound is relatively small, straight up and down, and the smoothness and smoothness left a deep impression on me. The pressure is moderate and the trigger speed is fast. It belongs to both office and game. god axis.

Unknowingly, the keycaps have been installed. The street attitude keycaps are really cute. If you observe carefully, you will find that the cartoon image design of the keycaps in the white area is in place. The commonly used letters and the number area on the right are black. It is more prominent and clear to use, while the two rows of F1, F2, F3...1/2/3 are similar to gray, and I personally like this set of keycaps very much.

In terms of material, PBT sublimation keycaps are used. Needless to say, this material is durable and wear-resistant, and the design of the corners is also rounded. The PBT keycaps provide an excellent touch feel and reduce oiling. The odds are high, and the street attitude skin as a whole can also bring people a pleasing vision, and I can't help touching it every day sitting in front of the computer.

Looks also need material, after all, as a mechanical keyboard with "attitude", Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao 100 three-mode mechanical keyboard is also full of materials, so its usability is very high.

Well, don’t worry, none of the performance should be lost.

write at the end

On the whole, when I first received this keyboard, I felt that the appearance was very cool. Apart from the impressive appearance, the actual experience is also very powerful. It belongs to the orientation of "suitable for both office and game". Although there is no cool RGB lighting effect, what it brings is a more comfortable experience and a visual feast. It is worth recommending and has no pitfalls.

Hello everyone~ Double Eleven is getting closer and closer, and everyone must start to study what peripherals are worth buying this year. What I want to bring to you today is the chapter on domestic peripherals, which of the A-series mechanical keyboards of Kangkang’s domestic volume king Daryou are more worth starting.

Dareu A87 is the pioneering work of Dareu A series. From the initial theme version to the follow-up three-mode version and shaft seat hot-swappable version, not only the appearance is being updated, but the internal structure is also quietly improving.

The A87 hot-swappable series currently has a total of 5 color versions, and the single-mode version is the sky version and the purple gold version that are used in the subsequent A series.

The A87 hot-swappable series continues the design of the magnetic cover and steel fixed structure of the Dareu A series. In terms of the shaft body, it is the first time to use its own customized shaft, the sky shaft and the purple gold shaft.

Starting from the hot-swappable version, Dareu A series began to add a thick silicone layer between the PCB and the metal positioning plate to remove the cavity, and this is also the beginning of the Dareu mechanical keyboard structure.

After the launch of the A87 three-mode hot-swappable version, Dareu’s follow-up new products began to roll out, each of which is directly equipped with three-mode, hot-swappable and RGB.

The A100 chooses a brand-new layout design, which reduces the size while retaining most of the conventional buttons, further improving the user experience.

The switches on the A100 are the TTC gold powder and fast silver switches that have been very good at the time until now. The configuration is full, the switches and keycaps are good, and the hot-swappable design is also favored by many players who are getting started with customization.

Dareu A84 flame red can be said to be another leap forward of Dareu A series. The stunning keycap color matching and popular arrangement, there was a rare out-of-stock situation in mass production during the first release.

Since the first launch was TTC's newly launched flame red switch, the switch body with light guide column and Q-ball feel design has also become a major selling point of this keyboard.

The surface treatment process of the base is also very amazing. At that time, even if the keyboard was disassembled and sold as a kit, it was more expensive than the official price, and the price-performance ratio in the true sense was full.

Not long after Dareu A84 was launched, Dareu launched another explosive model, that is the A98 with a gasket structure. The soft and tough material gasket structure, which is rare in mass production, has been praised by many bloggers in the circle. Since then, A98 has been equipped with machinery in 98 The keyboard has become a popular choice.

Different from many mass-produced mechanical keyboards with gasket structure at that time, Dareu A98 chose PC material positioning plate with silicone layer as the supporting inner tank, and the edge was added with silicone layer to engage the upper and lower covers, and the bottom of the PCB was also added with thick silicone support. Real de-cavitation has been achieved, the hand feel of each part is more consistent, and the soft elasticity of the gasket structure is also particularly obvious.

As for the choice of the shaft body, it is its own sky shaft V3. The light and linear feel of the sky shaft is combined with the fence-type shaft core design of the V3 version, which further improves the stability of the shaft core, and has also been used in different subsequent Dareu products.

Dareu A84pro can be said to be a relatively niche product, and it is also Dareu’s first aluminum mechanical keyboard. The audience is more enthusiasts and customized players.

In terms of appearance design, the workmanship and surface treatment of the aluminum alloy material bring people a good texture and touch, and a sound control wheel and a more distinctive RGB pickup light strip are added above the keyboard, making the appearance of the keyboard very recognizable high.

In terms of structure, of course, the gasket structure of the explosive product A98 is used. The shaft body also adopts the sky shaft V3 mentioned above. It may be the sound reverberation effect of the upper and lower covers made of metal. It is easier for Dareu A84pro to create what is called "Mahjong" on the Internet. sound". Of course, everyone has their own preferences for the sound, and it is not recommended that you judge the quality of a keyboard by the sound of the keys.

Sure enough, 87key still has a higher audience. After going around with different configurations, the A87 was finally upgraded to the Pro version, and the structure was further improved.

Due to the upgrade to the gasket structure of the A87 Pro, the design of the magnetic upper cover has also been cancelled. Moreover, the silicone layer of 87pro has also been upgraded to a fence structure, and the edge wraps the PC positioning plate while strengthening the bite of the upper and lower covers. On the whole, Dareu's improvement in structure has not stopped, and it has been improved from different angles.

Dareu A81 is a recent new product of Dareu. This time, the new product has re-adjusted the structural design and adopted a steel-free gasket structure design.

The casing and keycaps are black and transparent, and the appearance is full of value. There is no steel structure, that is, no positioning plate, the shaft body is directly welded on the PCB, the bottom layer is supported by silicone, the upper and lower covers are occluded with a non-positioning plate structure, and the soft elastic feeling of the keys is softer. It is a brand-new gasket structure mechanical keyboard experience.

After looking at so many Dareu A series mechanical keyboards, I personally feel that A81 is the most anticipated one at present. For both daily use and light customization, I personally recommend A100 and A87 Pro. I hope that after reading it, it can bring you a little inspiration for buying a mechanical keyboard~

Angry Miao, founded by Li Nan, released a very special new keyboard product called AM AFA, which is expensive and unique in shape.

Through the replacement of materials, the rebound strength of the typing experience can be adjusted, and a set of bottom pads and two sets of adjustment pads can be freely combined and matched. This allows AM AFA to combine up to 18 different sounds and feels without changing the shaft and keycap.

The split structure is not uncommon, but the left and right typing modules are packaged as independent button boxes, and the battery, motherboard and wireless charging module are also packaged separately, so users can even adjust the softness of the typing modules for the left and right hands. .

The Numeow AM AFA high-end mechanical keyboard is priced at 4,800 yuan, the brand new HOVER magnetic levitation wrist rest is priced at 210 yuan, and there is also a finished set priced at 5,600 yuan. ), maybe this design will inspire you, creators come on~
