This article only represents personal opinions, and is used to record and watch some keycaps. The color card should be based on the real object, as sublimation will produce deviations. The personal scoring part is a subjective part, and will be scored according to the manufacturer's status, design, and personal preferences. It is for reference only. Let's take a look at the latest interesting keycaps After quickly producing several sets of two-color keycaps, pbtfans continued to work hard, previewing the products that will be on sale after the year This keycap is made by "MARS. Universe" designer Jr.Mars designed the retro-themed keycaps——Retro Dark Lights. The designer started designing in June last year. Currently, the studio is also operated by himself. He has designed many interesting products before. MW-STONE Age, MW-Coloradas, Melgeek-Salmon, ePBT-Winter Breath and other works mainly design products with key caps. Of course, the source of inspiration for this keycap is not the traffic lights, but the Dark Mode of MacOS. Previously, there was a set of its sister model MW-Retro Lights Color matching: Although this keycap has a rich color scheme, the overall impression is mainly dark, with other colors dotted in it, which is very similar to the system operation interface of the dark night mode, mainly black and gray. At the same time, in terms of color selection, I chose darker and purer colors, which are very eye-catching. There are too many places about the history of mac OS that UI designers should study and study. At the MacWorld event in San Francisco in 2000, Jobs demonstrated Mac OS X, which has a completely different visual experience and unique interaction logic-"aqua", which also set the tone for future mac system design. macOS 11.0 redesigns the system icons and interface, dilutes the concept of physical switches, and gives people a lighter feeling. Make the overall UI and the visual experience of mobile devices ios and iPad OS more systematic. Larger button spacing, less grayscale intermediate colors, and stronger black-and-white contrast all make the interface more concise and clear. But the design of the new version is not perfect. For example, the icons of the new version are all framed in a rounded rectangle, which may cause some visual fatigue after a long time. Personality section: Personality comes from some dot icons in the system. Very clear and minimalist personality, "close", "hide", "zoom". Metal personality: Table mat: Keycap information: Material: PBT material Height: original factory height Process: two-color keycap Personal Rating: 6—8 I personally classify this keycap as a secondary creation keycap, and the scoring requirements will be higher. But compared to works with specific images, the source of inspiration for this keycap is a more abstract system concept. The minimalist style and colorful black are different from the traditional gray and white retro keycaps. I like it very much. Purchase suggestion: Players who like minimalist style and colorful black can consider buying This keycap is produced and manufactured by pbtfans, the quality is guaranteed, and it will be sold in stock at the same time, but this time the sub-kit needs to be noted that due to the limitation of the production process of the two-color keycap, the color supplement is not put into the keycap base. In terms of price, if you want to match color supplements, the price is expected to reach 700+. Lingmao Studio was established in 2020. In the past, the production and sales of keycaps were mainly carried out in the form of independent design and cooperation with foundries. The previous representative work was Yimeng Dunhuang. In 2022, they began to prepare their own sublimation keycap production line. The current keycap products are mainly produced independently, and their new molds and new materials are currently put into production. Dailan Dunhuang This set of keycaps is the first work of the new designer KK. It is a set of national style theme design, which is very similar to the style of Lingmao Studio. IC will be released in March 2022, and GB will be opened in December. This set of keycaps is inspired by Dunhuang murals. Dunhuang, a glorious land, preserves the sanctuary of unyielding beliefs; the strong westerly wind solidifies works of immortal culture. We integrate all of these into the color scheme to highlight the user's thick and flexible attitude towards life. Regarding Dunhuang, Lingmao Studio has also launched a product with the same theme before——Dream of Dunhuang However, the design styles of the two are still very different. Color matching: Early IC post, for reference only This blue-gray collocation is still very classic, such as the deep sea and the Arctic Circle, which are used in this color collocation. As the color of the whole set of keycaps, dark blue looks like Dai in the distant mountains, and smoke in the near water. It is the modern encounter between the drunkenness of the ancients and the favorite of designers. Personality section: Real shot display: Keycap information: Material: PBT material Height: original factory height Process: five-sided sublimation keycap Personal Rating: 5—6 Compared with many fancy color matching national style keycaps, the color matching of this keycap is relatively stable. Guofeng keycaps have a fixed audience, but for me, some of the key design content in the personality part is too much, but it has a complicated visual feeling. Drawing is a two-dimensional artistic creation, but the keycap itself is a three-dimensional form. A good keycap designer must be able to play and understand keycaps. It is very important to understand the shape of keycaps well. This is why I don't like the "divided body" keycaps very much, and various methods of directly printing illustrations on the keyboard. I can accept the design of some parts of this keycap, but I still need to pay more attention to the design of the pattern. At the same time, I need to consider whether these designs can achieve a "textured" effect when they are made into real objects. Purchase suggestion: Players who like the national style theme can consider buying it The expected price of this keycap is 189 yuan, the price is relatively close to the people, and it is currently sold on the platform. Some kits I've noticed recently Studio: "Weird Studio" Strange Studio is a customized studio specializing in niche and exquisite kits, established in November 2021. At present, 40 and some small toys are the main products Arrangement: "40% Alice (Louise)" Structure: Top+Oring Configuration: coated aluminum cover (OEM color selection, flash powder +20), acrylic mountain bottom cover, knob Liner: FR4 positioning plate (other materials are optional), 1.5mm single-mode slotted PCB (SKNX three-mode +135 is optional), partition lights + solenoid valves. PE shaft pad, 3.5mm Poron sandwich cotton. Connection mode: three-mode, single-mode Price: Deposit 700, final payment299 Personal evaluation: The combination of "stinky tofu + durian", 40 and Alice, is a niche but interesting product. The biggest selling point is the iceberg decoration on the back. Buying advice: As a niche product, this price is quite sincere, but at the same time, the threshold of use has also been raised a lot. Studio: "M•ONE Studio" Arrange "65%" Structure: Gasket Mount+Leafspring+Flexcut Configuration: National standard 6063 aluminum + CNC processing, anodic oxidation electrophoresis PVD Liner: standard 1.2mm hot-swappable PCB, optional welding 1.2mm soldering PCB, sub-board design, positioning board: PC and FR4 (choose one), standard shrapnel Gasket module and silicone Gasket module Connection method: wired Price: The electrophoresis anode is unified at 1499 yuan, the deposit group is 499 yuan, and the balance payment is 1000 yuan before delivery Personal evaluation: Ginkgo, as an excellent player in the 1.5k price range last year, is still very capable after being upgraded this year. For players who are just getting started and want to buy a well-designed mid-low price customized kit, Ginkgo pro is good choice. But it must be explained that, judging from the current construction period, it will not be available until at least April and May next year. Buying advice: 65% is a small set with a low threshold, and it is easy to get started. At the same time, Ginkgo has a good reputation. For many players, it is a good "young people's first non-tool customized keyboard".

For ease of use, I bought this mechanical gaming keyboard with a smaller size. When I unpacked the box and saw it, I was amazed by its "smallness". The size of this keyboard is designed to be very compact and solid. This mechanical gaming keyboard is made of aerospace-grade all-aluminum alloy structure. It is quite heavy and does not take up much space when used on a computer desk. , thanks to its attractive figure. This mechanical gaming keyboard has two switches, they are green switches and red switches, and in their packaging, in addition to the key puller and USB-C cable, there will also be two special edition switches. The keycaps, if you like them as much as I do, can be replaced directly. In order to free up more space on the desktop, equipped with this mini keyboard, the space on the desktop is significantly larger. Although this is a small keyboard, it is equipped with a lot of keys, even the arrow keys Page Up/Down, Home, Delete and other keys, it is equipped with it, it can be said that its design is small and exquisite. This keyboard weighs about 800g, and its design is very solid, and its USB-C cable can also go out to the left or right, which can be freely adjusted and matched, and its back uses a large area of ​​rubber non-slip pad, Make sure we have better stability when using it. It also has the same RGB light effect that is emerging today. The RGB light effect designed by this keyboard is uniform in color and brightness. It can be said that it is very good. Nowadays, many people are more fond of customization. In fact, after installing the official software corresponding to this keyboard, we can also carry out more in-depth customization, such as partition dimming of buttons, assigning button functions, etc., can be easily done. . I'm a newcomer Xiaobai, can you follow me, bookmark and comment?

At the beginning of this article, I might want to introduce a kind of "hypocrisy". I always wanted to make use of the fragmented time. In my hand, I have a Thinkpad from the company for my notebook and a Huawei MatePad Pro that I have reviewed before for my tablet, but there is no keyboard cover. Perhaps the most important thing is non-professional bloggers. If it is work, it is estimated that they have to finish writing on their mobile phones. So in order to take care of this kind of "hypocrisy" and use time, I have actually thought about some methods. One is mobile phone + voice, which is somewhat effective at certain times. At present, Netease Cloud Notes, etc. support real-time voice-to-text conversion. , the difference from the voice-to-text input method is that you don't need to press the voice every time, and after the complete recording, the voice and text will be completely preserved. But the usage scenarios are relatively limited. After all, reading drafts on the phone is easy to be disturbed when there are many people around, which is also very strange. After looking at it, I feel that adding a thin and light typing keyboard to the tablet, a 10-inch tablet, is much more convenient to carry than a notebook. I won't be too lazy to turn on the phone and touch it just because I just want to write a few hundred words of answer. I have a Goss ALT71 mechanical keyboard in my hand, which supports Bluetooth. I also considered taking out the small mechanical keyboard to use with the tablet, but then found two new problems caused by using a mechanical keyboard. Gaussian ALT71 1. This machine is relatively heavy, and the size is 3~4 cm wider than the full 60% because of the HOME button and so on. Don't underestimate the 3~4 cm. In this case, it is only about 30 cm. The size is obvious. The SK630 that I used for nothing before was a short shaft, but it was wired, which was inconvenient, so I gave up. 2. The noise of the mechanical keyboard is relatively large, which is a natural disadvantage of the mechanical keyboard. Even if it is a silent switch, it is difficult to make the sound smaller than the membrane keyboard. I still feel a little embarrassed when there are many people around. Of course, the advantages are also obvious. The feel of the mechanical keyboard makes people feel that typing is a pleasure, and naturally they can write more. After looking at the keyboard covers around, I feel that the original ones are a little expensive, and there are not many third-party ones that are reliable, and the evaluation of the key original ones is relatively average. Finally, this also passed. In the end it was generally decided that: 1. Switch to a smaller layout, change from 68 keys to 61 keys, and change from full-size shafts to short shafts. This solution can solve the size and weight problem, but it cannot solve the noise problem. 2. Switch to a small-sized membrane keyboard, sacrificing some feel, but the size and weight can be well balanced. For 2, the first thing that comes to mind is MX Keys Mini. I tried it briefly, and the feel and texture are really good. It is a feasible solution, but the price is really unbearable. Before confirming that it is feasible, I still want to find a suitable one from various alternatives on the market and use it first. So after many comparisons, I bought this Rapoo E9050G. When accompanying children to training classes, waiting for others, and between trips, you can touch it out and type temporarily to write down what you think of. I feel that this plan is the one with the least cost and the most satisfactory effect for the time being. product body smooth metal bottom Because it is dual-mode, I replaced it with a 2.4G adapter and a Type-C charging cable. In line with the above mentioned, it is only 1cm thick, the keyboard layout is basically simplified to the extreme, and the layout is not as tight as a notebook keyboard. The weight is more than 310 g, which is not light, but it is also lighter than ordinary keyboards. The completely flat keyboard looks very regular, but it is not as efficient as touch typing. A long time ago, public testing evaluated a Cooler Master SK630, which is a low-axis mechanical keyboard with flat keycaps. It looks really good. , but when using it, the proportion of typos and mistypes has skyrocketed. This is the basic element to ensure the basic feel. Membrane keyboards have no advantages over mechanical keyboards in terms of feel and response, but scissor feet can guarantee a basic feel. The entire bottom shell is made of aluminum alloy with a metallic texture, which can be greatly praised. Although the use of plastic for the keyboard is not a big problem, this improvement in texture is a big plus. Non-slip silicone on the bottom In addition to the ultra-thin design, the key stroke is a nominal 1.5mm by visual inspection. The keycaps are stable, there is no feeling of looseness, and it is a relatively regular and integrated feeling. The "wedge" design is good, with a certain slope, and in most scenarios, it can have a small experience improvement. There are many connected devices, supporting 3 bluetooth + 1 2.4G wireless device, which can meet the usage of mobile phone + tablet + desktop. As for other things, probably if you have an Android TV box, you can also connect a bluetooth Easy to type. I myself have a mini console and a tablet. 2.4G is temporarily useless. The arrow keys are better than nothing. The keyboard is small enough, and with this half-height design, it is really difficult to press the up and down keys. Fortunately, the left and right keys are normal. Arrow key The size is small and light, in terms of length, width, height and weight, this is basically the limit of a portable keyboard without affecting the feel Compared with the mechanical keyboard, it is a bit of a bully, but the 1.5mm key travel + scissor feet is indeed better than the ordinary membrane keyboard A large number of connectable devices (3 Bluetooth + 1 2.4G) The button layout is reasonable, and there is a groove design for touch typing Good metal texture and overall feeling ABS+transfer keycap wear resistance is average without backlight There is no built-in place to save the 2.4G receiver, easy to lose There is no indicator light for caps lock, and it is impossible to judge whether it is on or not No segment design, no slope adjustment Generally speaking, according to the price and usage scenarios in the early 100s, it is a product worth pushing. These shortcomings are actually not fatal shortcomings for a portable typing keyboard, so if it is used as a tablet typing supplement, It is still worth recommending.

Hubatu’s new product in the second quarter of this year is here. This time it is a compact 70% mechanical keyboard with 75 keys. The appearance design is quite eye-catching. At the same time, all aspects are individually optimized for female users. Pretty good for a handful as a gift. As a peripheral work of a female designer, Hubatu F75 has quite a lot of design details. Let me share with you the evaluation experience of this F75. If you find it helpful, please pay attention, like and bookmark Sanlian. If you have any complicated questions, please contact us separately. . For female users, appearance is always the first consideration when buying a keyboard. Hubatu F75 uses a separately designed private mold. Xiachanjuan (pink and white) and Hanjiangxue (light cyan) are available in four colors, and this time I got the hibiscus rouge color. The second is the hardware solution. As a high-end customized kit, the configuration is unambiguous. The Gasket structure and the TTC custom shaft feel very soft and Q-bomb. The volume knob and display screen are also not absent, and even the accessories are given. There are enough, custom-made aviation plugs and dust covers, it is quite suitable as a one-step gift. Not much nonsense, let's enter the unboxing link. Hubatu F75 uses a 75-key arrangement. The benefits of the 70% arrangement need not be introduced. Compared with the 80% and 100% arrangement, the desktop area occupied is smaller, especially for younger sisters with smaller hands. quite comfortable. The keyboard as a whole adopts three colors of cherries, pink and milky white. The colors are quite flattering, and it is easier for girls to match their own makeup. At first glance, the shape of the side is a bit similar to MAC bullet lipstick, and the edges are rounded, so it is not easy to cut your hands whether you are carrying it or moving it. As the core purchaser of TTC, this time the Hubatu F75 uses a brand new high-speed rail shaft that TTC spent more than a year building. The shaft slider runs through the upper cover and always slides on the long track of the shaft cover. The whole process is seamlessly connected to the upper cover, without any abruptness, micro-steps and jamming, and the pressing is always stable. The Neptune axis is a linear axis with parameters of trigger pressure of 41gf + trigger stroke of 2.0mm + total stroke of 3.8mm. The design of the transparent base and the transparent button can realize the dual-channel transmission of the light between the buttons and the light of the TTC condenser lens module, bringing The uniform and full light effect makes the RGB light effect of the whole keyboard more transparent and uniform. The keycap adopts the OEM height of customized color, which pays more attention to practicality. The corresponding function is marked on the underside of the keycap. Press and hold the Fn button to input the combination key to realize the corresponding function. Even if you don’t read the manual, you can get started quickly. use. As a top-equipped keyboard, wired + Bluetooth + 2.4G three-mode is standard configuration. You can easily switch between different modes through the switch on the right. It is more friendly for multi-device users. The switch button for Mac and Windows modes is also here. . Hubatu F75 still uses the Beiying solution. There is a 1.14-inch TFT display in the upper right corner. The default mode can display the status of time, battery and connection mode. It can also be used to play your favorite GIF through the driver. . Like the screen, the volume knob is concentrated on the upper right of the keyboard, which is convenient for users to control. The volume label is electroplated, which looks really good, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to become a fingerprint collector. On the upper left side of the keyboard is the power switch and the Type-C interface. The left interface is indeed relatively rare. It should be designed for the consistency of appearance. It will be a little troublesome to unplug and plug in. Usually, the problem with wireless connection is not a big problem. The 2.4G receiver is hidden under the metal magnetic nameplate on the back. It is really inconvenient to take it, but it can prevent rust and dust from getting in compared to the exposed storage slot, and it can also improve the consistency of the overall shape of the keyboard. The original nameplate is shown in the picture below. If you plan to give it away, you can ask the customer service for the size and thickness of the nameplate, and go to Ma Yun’s house to customize a replacement. Customization with a full sense of exclusivity is more sincere. Tiger Batu F75’s solid materials are not only reflected in the keyboard itself, but also the accessories are full of sincerity. The original cable is a paratrooper rope-style replaceable aviation plug-in cable, which can not only effectively prevent winding and electromagnetic interference, but the L head is also convenient for desktop routing. Install. This keyboard has many functions, so the Tiger Batu team also specially optimized the PC-side driver. By driving the mouse, you can realize custom items such as screen control, macro configuration, and lighting effects. . Next, I will record a video of the input for everyone. You can refer to it: Summarize for friends who have pulled to the end: I asked a few female friends, and they all said that the Hubatu F75 in the color of hibiscus rouge is very good-looking, and the private model is indeed much more recognizable than the stereotyped public model. The light transmittance of the TTC Neptune axis is really good, and the linearity is quite comfortable for female users. With the Gasket structure, it not only feels warm and moist, but also has a pleasant mahjong sound. For details, please refer to the above recorded video. Generally speaking, Hubatu F75 is a very suitable keyboard for female friends, and it is also good for personal use. It is recommended.

Over the past few years, customized keyboards have gradually entered the public's field of vision. Originally, it cost at least 2,000 yuan to play a customized keyboard. Now some mass-produced brands allow you to experience custom keyboards for only a few hundred yuan The excellent feel and rich playability of the customized keyboard can be chosen by friends who want to get started lightly. As a game lover, I recently paid attention to a wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard with a price of less than 300 yuan, 98 columns + volume knob, gasket structure, full-key hot-swappable...etc. Features, it is The AK992 side-engraved three-mode mechanical keyboard from Heijue. Let’s do a simple unpacking first. As a mechanical keyboard that can be hot-swappable for all keys, Heijue AK992 comes with a key puller and shaft puller in the package, which is convenient for you to replace the keycap and shaft body. There are also 4 replacement shafts, as well as a data cable for wired connection, complete accessories. Exterior Heijue AK992 has 5 versions to choose from. Among them, the side-engraved version is pure black color matching. The classic and simple color matching is more suitable for a variety of table-top scenes. Quiet aesthetic, cool. This is the first time I have used the side engraved keyboard, try something new. Heijue AK992 adopts a 98-column layout design, which removes the function buttons that are not commonly used by gamers, and retains the arrow keys and small keyboard area, which reduces the size without affecting the normal playing experience of various games, and is also very suitable for Users with small computer desktops or many things start with it. A volume metal knob is added to the upper right corner of the keyboard, twist left and right to adjust the volume, press it to mute/play, it is very simple and quick to use. As for the keycap, it is made of PBT material and processed by two-color injection molding process. The surface has a fine frosted feeling. In addition to the rich touch, this material can also avoid oiling or fading after long-term use, and the top of the keycap is slightly concave. The design makes the fingertips more fit and comfortable when typing on the keyboard. In terms of the shaft body, Heijue’s new AS shaft is used, and there are two types of AS red shaft and AS brown shaft. According to the official statement, the customized AS shaft can effectively eliminate the sound of spring shrapnel, and the sound is more crisp. Run the shaft, and the design of the extended shaft core has improved the stability of the shaft core a lot. In addition, this keyboard supports full-key hot-swapping, that is to say, we can replace any switch body according to our own preferences. 99% of the tripod switches and five-leg switches on the market can be used for experience. You will encounter the embarrassment of incompatibility. On the left side of the keyboard is the mode switching switch, which can be switched to 2.4G, Bluetooth, and wired connection methods according to the needs. The concave design is also very convenient to slide. This design is very exciting. Compared with the design of placing the mode switch at the bottom of the keyboard, it is really not too convenient! On the right side of the keyboard is the wireless receiver storage compartment, which is very convenient to take and store. The back of the Black Jazz AK992 keyboard is designed with 5 non-slip pads and 2 2-stage pads, which are very stable on the desktop. to experience In terms of connection, as mentioned above, Heijue AK992 supports three connection methods, the connection speed is very fast, and it can be connected instantly after finding it. It is worth mentioning that the Black Jue AK992 can not only be used on the Windows platform, but also supports the Mac platform, and can be switched to the Mac system mode by pressing FN+A. In terms of feel, I am used to using the red switch personally, and I think I am familiar with the red switch. The percussion feel of the red switch of the Heijue AK992 is quite good, the feel is very uniform, and the pressing feedback is just right. In terms of percussion sound, it is crisper than the red-axis keyboards I have used. This should be due to the Gasket gasket structure, which reduces the cavity sound and improves the feel and sound to a higher level. This keyboard supports the design of full-key without punching, and there will be no key conflict no matter how fast the key is pressed. Of course, it is not uncommon to have a full key with no impact, and it is almost universal on all mechanical keyboards. The side engraved AK992 I bought also supports RGB lighting effects. There are 18 different lighting effects built into the keyboard, which can be switched through FN+. The diverse lighting effects can be adjusted according to everyone’s preferences. Of course, I don’t like lighting effects. Otherwise, you can also directly press FN+X to turn off the backlight. If you want to set more possibilities, or complete the custom setting of individual buttons, you can download the corresponding driver from the official website for adjustment. As for the battery life, the RGB version has a built-in 4000mAh battery. The official data is: it can be used for 40 hours with the light on, and the battery life is longer when the backlight is turned off. According to conventional use, one charge per week is enough, and the effect of not using the backlight can be close to one charge per month, and the battery life is very good. Summarize From the perspective of a cheap entry-level wireless tri-mode keyboard, the Heijue AK992 side engraving is a very good product, with free connection of wireless tri-mode, highly practical volume knob, and distinctive PBT side engraving Keycaps, AS factory run shaft body, full-key hot-swappable and Gasket gasket structure, three-layer sound-absorbing cotton, RGB lighting effects, etc., are a good choice for a 98-match three-mode keyboard within 300 yuan. In terms of shortcomings, the overall shell of the keyboard is made of ABS material, so the plastic feeling is relatively strong. In addition, there is no corresponding combination function marked on the side-engraved keycaps. You can only find the FN function through the manual. I want to experience the feeling of side-engraved keys. That's why I chose this version. If you want the original one, you can also look at the other 4 themes of the AK992 series. The highest price does not exceed 300, and the lowest price is 199. You can start with the matte version of this series. Generally speaking, within the price of 300 yuan, the Heijue AK992 three-mode gasket structure RGB side-engraved mechanical keyboard is worth buying.
