In 618 more than a year ago, I fell in love with a mechanic's K600, but at that time I made a successful decision and chose Dareu's A98. But later, I was still "undead" about the color transparent shell of the Mechanic K600, and finally bought a 68-keyboard of the Mechanic K600 at the beginning of this year.

This keyboard is a Kaihua BOX red switch. In addition to its unique appearance, the overall quality of the keyboard is average. In addition, I really have a lot of keyboards, so it took a while after I got it. In addition to the shell, I am hardly satisfied with the keycaps, shafts and large keys of this keyboard, so I started a journey of tossing about this keyboard.

Let me first talk about my purchase list for tossing this keyboard.

Keyboard: Machinist K600-68 BOX red switch

Shaft: Kingston water shaft (from Taobao)

Satellite axis: FLCMMK Fuling V3 Marshmallow satellite axis

Keycaps: ①bald head-whistle, ②Akko Clear ASA highly transparent keycaps

First of all, let’s talk about the original keyboard of Mechanic K600-68. The keycaps are actually okay. The contrasting colors of orange, blue and white, especially the large orange characters on the white keycaps, look very clear.

This set of keycaps is opaque, and when the light is turned on, the LED light will be exposed from the side of the keyboard.

The BOX axis used is quite satisfactory, and the satellite axis is relatively ordinary, with obvious steel wire sound.

Family portrait of satellite switches, keycaps, switch bodies for remodeling, satellite switches, switch bodies, keycaps and keyboard kits are all blue.

The satellite axis of Fuling has a good reputation in the player circle, but it was wiped out by rk R87, a 100-yuan keyboard under rk, some time ago. However, it is sufficient as a replacement for the conventional satellite axis and the general keyboard, but the price is a bit expensive.

Kingston HyperX Alloy originated from water shafts, and now there are really fewer and fewer tea-like shafts, and even fewer are doing well, so there is the saying of cherry tea YYDS, but the new version of cherry tea shafts is still too dry after all. .

The water shaft is now sold in a certain treasure. I am not sure if it is a disassembled shaft. The price of a shaft is about 2.5 yuan. And this shaft body is quite beautiful, it is said that it is manufactured by TTC.

The first is to pull off all the keycaps to expose the BOX red switch. Kaihua BOX Red is a very cost-effective shaft, but the texture and rebound are still a bit poor when knocked.

Next is to remove the shaft. Finally, the positioning board and the PCB board below are exposed.

If you are completely tossing, you can consider adding bottom cotton, adding a pad under the shaft, and sticking masking paper. But I don't have such high requirements.

The keyboard itself has a silicone sandwich cotton, and an important reason why there is no bottom cotton is to allow the LED lights to shine through the bottom. The cushion under the shaft is actually of little significance to the tea-like shaft.

The new satellite shaft must be lubricated before it is put on. I just dipped it and didn't add much oil.

A brand new keyboard with all the large keys and switches on it. Without the keycaps, this switch matches the dark blue case very well.

My niece started helping me put on the keycaps.

The final finished keyboard, how should I put it, the keycap of the whistle is very in line with my aesthetics, and it belongs to a relatively elegant style, but I always feel that it does not match this kit.

So I had the idea of ​​changing the keycaps again.

In addition, because the keycaps are opaque, and even if the keycaps of the whistle set are white, there is actually a little bit of blue mixed into them, so the color of the backlight that shines through the gaps in the keycaps also changes.

First look at the actual color of the LED light from the back.

And in the light that passed through, the bright colors were basically suppressed, leaving only the blue-green light.

I need a set of keycaps that let light through.

Now think about it, would it be better to buy Taihao's keycaps? But at that time, I felt that the color of Taihao was not enough to match.

First of all, the renderings on the details page of AKKO Clear look like this.

And this is what it actually looks like.

There was a feeling that I wanted a refreshing fizzy fruit fizzy drink and it turned out to be fruit milk.

The entire keycap seems to be emulsified, a bit like a jelly keycap.

The light transmission effect is about this level.

The next step is the familiar work of dismantling the shaft. The last part was not taken, but this photo shows that the color of the satellite axis and the water axis is almost the same, as if it is the original.

After assembly, there is a clear gap with the expected effect, and the kit and keycaps have a clear sense of splitting.

The chrysanthemums of this set of keycaps are very close, and it is easy to take off the shafts when the keycaps are removed.

After turning on the light, the effect is a little better.

This set of keycaps, anyway, sees through the red backlight very well.

The actual effect is lower than expected, this set is ASA height ball cap.

The following one is considered the best angle. It should be said that this keycap is tight except that the chrysanthemum is tight, and F and J have no positioning blind spots. Other aspects are okay, but it is not very suitable for this keycap.

Perhaps, the best match for this keyboard will be this set of transparent keycaps from Zhitip Wenchuang? However, the price of 300 yuan still allows me to think again.

Playing mechanical keyboards is all about tossing. Anyway, the structure is simple, and our low-end players with poor hands-on ability are nothing more than

Add the filling structure, add the pad under the shaft, change or adjust the satellite shaft, change the shaft, and change the keycap. Like CIY67, the entire Gasket kit is made by yourself.

This is probably the fun of playing keyboards, and at the same time, large and small rollovers cannot be avoided, haha.

The axis ladder map is continuously updated. There are not enough axes measured before, but it will be gradually improved. Please rest assured that we will do better if you give some time. Recently tested 5 shafts, their data has been updated in the video column, if you are interested in the details, you can take a look.

Among the 5 axes updated this time, two unexpectedly entered the top three, namely Jiadalong’s G Silver PRO 2.0 (contact NO.3) and Shuangfeiyan’s LT optical axis (non-contact NO.3). ), a proper dark horse, and the current ranking has also undergone some changes. I will briefly share my feelings about the several axes tested this time.

The OmniPoint magnetic switch, the earliest mass-produced magnetic switch, is hardly used by anyone except SteelSeries. This magnetic switch has very obvious characteristics of the early Giadalon red switch. Normal pressing is smooth but also very loose. After installing the keycap Its shaking range is very large. According to the data at the corner of the keycap, you can see that the smoothness of 85% is average. If it is based on the aesthetics of current players, this loose feeling may not match the thousand-yuan price at all. Regarding its stroke, we have measured it before, and the 0.4mm trigger cannot be achieved, and the earliest 1.08mm conduction is possible, but objectively speaking, this axis is not born for code words.

The new optical axis structure of LT Shuangfeiyan is completely different from the 2nd and 3rd generation of LK optical axis in appearance, more like ordinary machinery. But it can achieve 3-segment triggering (2.0-1.5-1.0mm), we also took the time to verify it, and revealed in advance that its three-segment conduction measurement is about 2.2-0.9-0.6mm. Combined with the data of the magnetic axis, it is objective It is not small to be precise about this multi-stage itinerary. In terms of feel, although the previous LK third-generation structure has a balance bar, it is not perfect. The main reason is that the guide core shakes a lot and the corner pressing force increases relatively. Now this LT has improved these problems. The new structure guide core of the LT optical axis is much more stable, and some quiet designs have also been added. The entire percussion sound is dull and not gathered.

I remember that when the ROMER-G axis first came out, the feedback was not very good. The key stuck. After so many years, it seems to have improved, but it seems that the structural flaw is difficult to completely overcome. The light-emitting structure in the center, but the latecomer ROG’s RX axis has played around. After adding the scissors structure, the guide core is stable and the corners are extremely smooth when pressed. The smoothness (98.51%) is almost perfect from the data point of view. . Looking at the ROMER-G L-axis, the parameter settings (travel, force) are all in line with the needs of the game, but the feel is only basically usable, and it is gratifying that there is no bottom. Maybe Logitech’s GX axis will be better.

As for the other two traditional axes, the G Silver PRO 2.0 climbed to the third place, which is really unexpected. Strictly speaking, G Silver PRO 2.0 is not perfect in terms of curves, but it has no shortcomings, and its consistency and smoothness are around 90%. As for the NX shaft manufactured by Kaihua for ROG, its performance is stable and quite satisfactory, and it is not bad to be able to climb to No. 10 on this ladder.

I usually use a lot of online documents for work, and then I found that I wrote about 400,000 words in the online documents in 2022. Considering that there are almost double the amount of input in normal times, a rough estimate, my typing in a year is about The magnitude of 120W-150W. I feel like it's a lot.

Because of a lot of typing, I found that although mine was typing very fast (the post-90s had typing classes when I was a child, I was still the first in school, which is the device below, and my friends from 90 years ago should have an impression)

Then typing fast + typing for a long time will cause wrist soreness, because our typing keyboard is actually not ergonomic. The hands are basically perpendicular to the keyboard, and there is an angle with the wrist. Keeping this angle for a long time is easy for the wrist. Soreness, even tenosynovitis, and the sound of gada gada when you often move your wrist. At this time, we must pay attention to the fact that there are many occupational diseases in the office. This is a kind of occupational disease, and it is easy to be ignored by people!

In fact, it is the posture of the hand. You can understand it by looking at the hand shape of the special-shaped keyboard and the hand shape of the ordinary keyboard. The wrist of the ordinary keyboard is obviously not in a straight line with the hand.

Because I have learned to type, which finger I use for each key is actually very regular, so when I first started using it, the probability of my wrong pressing is not high. I found that the position of the keys relative to the fingers does not change, what changes is the angle of your fingers and wrist, so after an hour, I basically got used to it, and after 3 days, there is basically no wrong pressing, so everyone can rest assured.

I also feel this problem. When the special-shaped keyboard is pressed to return the case, I feel that it is more convenient and faster. On the whole, it improves the input, but I have been number one in the school since I was a child in typing. You must know the top experts. The improvement is always the most difficult, so as far as I am concerned, I feel that there is an improvement, but I can't make a data comparison.

I asked another little girl in the office who only uses 6 fingers to type. She happens to also use a special-shaped keyboard. She said that it will be faster, because the hands are comfortable and not awkward, and the efficiency will be improved.

So, on the whole, I think the process of switching from a normal keyboard to this Keychron V8 special-shaped keyboard is relatively smooth.

This keyboard has a total of 3 switch bodies to choose from, namely K-pro red switch, K-pro green switch and K-pro brown switch. Everyone can choose according to their own preferences.

At the same time, because Keychron's V8 uses a noise-reducing cotton interlayer, even if it is a crisp shaft body, the noise control is also very good. Cushioned for comfort.

For a small number of special types of work, it may be necessary to rewrite the keys of the keyboard to achieve the purpose of improving daily efficiency. The method of use is relatively simple, and the firmware can be easily rewritten by downloading the firmware from the official website.

Although for ordinary users, it may not be easy to plug and unplug the switch body at will, but for gamers who are keen on the keyboard, who would die on a switch body, right? Who didn't write colorful shafts in the drawer? Therefore, it is very important that the switch body can be hot-swapped at this time. Changing it to a variety of customized keyboards you like is the embodiment of individual life!

The following is the structure of this keyboard. According to Keychron’s instructions, all the structures can be disassembled and replaced. I think the bottom is also fixed with screws. There are no hidden screws, or ultrasonic welding, which ensures the convenience of disassembly. Praise!

I think this special-shaped keyboard is especially suitable for coders, text workers, or friends who type quickly for a long time. It is a keyboard product that you can’t go back after you really use it. And the lighting effect is also very handsome, and the price of about 400 is not expensive. If you want to buy yourself a small gift for the New Year, then this is a very good choice!

Men must have hobbies, otherwise it is easy to take detours! My hobbies are fishing and picking up trash! Little yellow croaker accidentally saw a Bastron wireless bluetooth dual-mode mechanical keyboard, missing the cap, missing the receiver, the quality is rubbish, not packaged, no return or exchange after sale! I checked this brand, this keyboard has been discontinued, and the company has switched to industry custom keyboards, but 40 yuan, bluetooth, mechanical keyboard, I think it is still worth buying.

This keyboard should be recycled from the waste station, and it will be disinfected with alcohol, and it will be cool for a day! The power supply is powered by four AA batteries. The original keycap is missing a part, and the color is OK. Remove it and wash it, put it in the detergent water basin, soak it for a day, wipe it with a wet towel, disinfect it with alcohol, dry it and put it away. Put it in a bottle for later use! Start to disassemble, it is very simple, there are four screws on the back, and two are under the foot pads, the inside is okay, there is some grease, spray alcohol, wipe it with a wet towel, dry it, and let it dry in the sun! The battery slot and the main board are fine, but I hope there will be no problems!

I spent another 28 to get a set of keycaps. I didn’t understand it at first, and thought they were all matching. Who knows, this knowledge is still great. After buying it, I found that some keys were missing, and some were not matching. Fortunately, the original one was not thrown away!

Assembled, feels pretty good

Plug in, turn on, Bluetooth pairing, button test, everything is normal! I feel that 68 yuan is still worth it! Two devices can be connected, mobile phones, tablets, and computers can all be used. When playing League of Legends with low power, there will be some delays! But now that I have a child, I don’t play much anymore, so I put aside my original non-branded keyboard and use this as the main force!

Recently, the backspace key suddenly didn’t work today. I tested the phone, but the computer didn’t work. It’s probably a problem with the keys, and I don’t have any extra keys to replace. Prepare to swap F5, which is not commonly used, with the backspace key!

It is not difficult to remove. The electric soldering iron is heated, and the tin suction device sucks it, but the suction is not clean. You can only use a screwdriver to tilt it, and the other side is reheated with a soldering iron, and it falls off. There is a lot of rust on the pins. It is estimated that the keyboard has been exposed to water before. In addition to rust, install the F5, plug it in, test it, and the backspace key can be used normally.

Picking up leaks is risky! But tossing is very happy. When I was young, I couldn’t restore things when I dismantled them. Radios, alarm clocks, etc., I have dismantled everything that can be dismantled. There are either multiple screws or multiple gears. Now I can slowly solve some small problems. It can be restored perfectly! After all, thirty, has grown up!

Hi everyone, I'm Garbage Goodman, thank you for watching

With the continuous expansion of the domestic e-sports peripheral market, in addition to the established peripheral manufacturers, more and more manufacturers have begun to make efforts in this field, especially in the field of keyboards, more and more custom-made The emergence of modernization and DIY keyboards has made this circle more flourishing. At the same time, the established manufacturers did not give up their progress and brought more keyboard products with higher playability.

As a member of domestic and foreign established manufacturers, Rapoo is not far behind. This year, it has launched a variety of more playable DIY series keyboards and Rapoo's independent switch body, aiming at the DIY keyboard market. And what came to our PChome evaluation room today is the recently released Rapoo V700DIY hot-swappable RGB backlit gaming mechanical keyboard. Quick Silver Axis. The keyboard adopts a 104-key full-size design, achieves full-key no punching, and is equipped with a magic color RGB backlight system.

In addition to the keyboard, we also received another switch from the Rapoo main switch, the KA-12 hot-swappable linear spring switch. How do you feel about using and replacing the two brand-new autonomous hot-swappable shafts? This review will reveal them one by one.

From the appearance point of view, the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard adopts a silver-white color matching as a whole. The keycaps and shortcut keys are all designed in white. The keycaps are made of PBT two-color injection molding process, which has a delicate touch and uniform light transmission, and can also prevent oiling and wear. , both practicality and appearance are very good.

The keyboard adopts a floating design as a whole, and the white keycaps are suspended on the silver-white aluminum alloy cover, showing the sense of technology vividly. The narrow frame and the metal LOGO in the upper right corner further show the outstanding temperament of the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard.

The protruding special-shaped shortcut key area in the upper right corner is quite eye-catching. There are four shortcut keys and a scroll wheel. The four keys can switch keyboard mode, change lighting effect, switch wheel mode and mute, and this scroll wheel can Adjusting the brightness of the light or the volume of the computer, it can be said that these shortcut keys and scroll wheels are very practical designs for players, and can be easily set up with the keyboard and computer. Of course, it would be even better if the follow-up Rapoo can support the function of customizing these shortcut keys in the driver.

In addition to the shortcut keys in the upper right corner, the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard can also use the combination of the Fn button and the F1~F12 button. The keyboard can implement 12 functions including starting email, calculator, search, play/pause, previous song, next song, etc. This kind of shortcut operation makes the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard not only suitable for game scenes, but also has a convenient experience in office and entertainment.

At the same time, the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard also supports full-key programmable. In the Rapoo dedicated driver software, you can set your own combos and shortcut keys, etc., and you can also upload configuration files through the Rapoo V series smart cloud storage. to the cloud, and even share it with other players. These settings greatly enrich the playability of this keyboard. The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard supports full-key without punching, so you don’t need to worry about key conflicts whether in typing or gaming, ensuring an immersive input experience.

The RGB lighting of the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is also a highlight. The keyboard has two modes. In the office mode, you can switch between 18 lighting effects through the shortcut keys on the upper right corner. In the game mode, you can switch between 19 lighting effects through the shortcut keys. Various lighting effect modes, you can also use the driver to set personalized lighting color, mode and brightness, a variety of preset modes are very good in terms of lighting perception, and support for custom settings is also excellent in playability, very suitable for Players show personality.

In terms of details, the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is also very careful. Although the keyboard only supports wired connections, it adopts a design with separated keys and wires, which is more convenient to store and carry. The bottom is equipped with 5 rubber non-slip foot pads, and the bracket is also equipped with rubber non-slip pads. Whether it is work typing or gaming competition, there is no need to worry about the keyboard moving, bringing a more stable operating experience.

And a question that attracts everyone's attention is naturally how the performance of the two independent axes launched by Rapoo this time is. The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is equipped with the Rapoo self-pluggable linear fast silver switch. The total stroke is 4mm, the trigger stroke is 1.3±0.5mm, and the trigger pressure is 45±10gf. After the overall experience, this switch is sensitive to the trigger and has a strong hand feel. The sound of the shaft is not loud but relatively crisp, which is a good choice for both office use and game use.

Rapoo's independent Kuaiyin shaft is made of PVC material with self-lubricating effect, which can reduce the friction of the shaft. The axis is also equipped with a wall dust-proof button, which not only has a dust-proof effect, but also reduces the shaking of the keys and makes the keys more stable. The shaft body adopts a transparent upper cover, which is also designed to reduce friction, bringing a smooth experience.

The interior of the shaft body is made of stainless steel springs and alloy copper sheets to ensure the long-lasting use of the shaft body. The service life of a single shaft of 50 million times allows players to have no worries. The nylon base at the bottom also has the advantages of high strength and good wear resistance, which can reliably protect the shaft body during the shaft replacement process.

In addition, Rapoo also launched an independent hot-swappable linear elastic white switch, which is different from the quick silver switch in that it uses a POM material axis and a PA material base, with shorter key travel and lower trigger pressure. However, due to the use of extended springs and different material designs, the rebound is stronger and the touch is more stable. The total stroke of this switch is 3.4±0.4mm, the trigger stroke is 1.3±0.4mm, and the trigger pressure is 13±10gf. The trigger is easy, the sound and feel are lighter, and the relatively fast silver switch is more suitable for typing and office work, and it can also be competent Gaming and esports jobs.

These two switches are compatible with most of the five-pin hot-swappable switch keyboards on the market. The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is also equipped with a five-pin hot-swappable switch base, which is made of metal and supports up to 10,000 plug-ins. When replacing the shaft body, you only need to use the attached key puller to remove the keycap first, then insert the key puller under the shaft body, and pull out the shaft body. When installing the shaft body, you only need to align the pins of the new shaft body with the pinholes reserved on the keyboard motherboard and press gently. The operation is very simple, but be careful not to use too much force when it is difficult to press, so as not to damage the shaft body. prongs.

After experiencing the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard and two Rapoo main switches, it can be seen that Rapoo has made sufficient preparations for entering the DIY keyboard market. Both the keyboard and the shaft have brought me a lot of surprises. . The Rapoo V700DIY keyboard is ingenious in design, and the combination of additional shortcut keys and keyboard shortcut keys makes it an unprecedented experience in practicality. Excellent and customizable lighting effects combined with a simple and outstanding design style bring players a more excellent and personalized visual experience.

In terms of user experience and the shaft body, the performance of the Pennefather V700DIY keyboard is also remarkable. Rapoo's independent linear fast silver switch and spring white switch have good performance in terms of design and actual input experience, and at the same time have distinct characteristics, which demonstrates Rapoo's deep technical accumulation in the autonomous switch body. If you also want to use a keyboard that can be customized freely and can also take into account an excellent user experience, the Rapoo V700DIY keyboard with a price of only 299 yuan is a good choice.
