After gradually improving and enriching the product layout of the Q series, the Internet celebrity keyboard brand Keychron has launched a new V series product line while the iron is hot, and recently brought the first product of the V series - Keychron V1. Different from the metal style of the Q series, and also different from the wireless connection of the K series, the V series, as a brand new series, focuses on affordable prices for the people, which can be seen in the price of the V1.

The V1 adopts the packaging style of the sky and the earth cover. In addition to the keyboard, it also provides accessories such as a key puller, shaft puller, data cable, additional keycaps, removal tools, and spare screws. Why is there a disassembly tool and spare screws given away? This is related to the product characteristics of V1, let’s make a secret first, and reveal it later.

The appearance of Keychron V1 directly reproduces the design language of the same door Q1: 75% column size, 82-key partition layout, four-sided equal-width border, metal knobs, ball cap matching, and even the position of the USB interface and the Win/Mac system switch The location is also the same. But the biggest difference from the Q1 is that the V1 uses a plastic body and cancels the Gasket structure, so that its cost has been further reduced, and the price is more friendly to the people. In a sense, Keychron V1 can be regarded as the youth version of Q1.

The overall layout of the V1 with the knob in my hand still has some trade-offs - the key gap around the entire F area is smaller than that of a conventional full-size or TKL keyboard, and the right side of the arrow keys is not greedy to set 4 functions. keys. This makes the key layout of this keyboard sparse and orderly, not too crowded visually, and has a more coordinated and well-proportioned look and feel; at the same time, it also ensures the independence of the direction keypad and reduces the probability of accidental touches.

The back of the keyboard is relatively ordinary, and there is nothing particularly eye-catching about Yimapingchuan’s graphic design. Black strip anti-skid pads are arranged on the four corners of the back to improve the anti-skid ability of the keyboard, and the two-stage foot support is used to adjust the input angle of the keyboard. From the exposed 8 golden screws on the back, it can be judged that the V1 adopts the classic structure design of the heaven and earth cover. It is quite simple and easy to operate when disassembling the upper and lower covers. .

Although the Keychron V1 is based on the subtraction of the Q1, it has not done any castration in the matching of keycaps. It still uses the ancestral set of OSA PBT two-color injection molding ball caps, following the classic black, gray and red color scheme. The height of this set of OSA PBT two-color injection molded ball caps is close to the common OEM height, and the rounded rectangle around the outline has been optimized to make it more round and lovely, with strong brand recognition.

The shaft mounted on the V1 is no longer the previous Jiadalong G PRO series shaft, but the independent shaft developed by Keychron: K-pro shaft, double side wall structure + factory lubrication, which has better stability and smoothness. For slippery feeling, there are currently three options of K-pro red switches, K-pro brown switches and K-pro green switches. The keyboard itself supports hot-swapping, and adopts a formal design with a lower light position, which is quite rare in mass-produced RGB keyboards.

The disassembly of the keyboard is quite simple: use the tool in the accessories to unscrew the 8 hexagonal screws on the bottom surface, and then the upper and lower covers can be separated; the PCB positioning plate is fixed on the bottom cover by screws, and can be separated with tools, and the keyboard is disassembled. . The hot-swappable shaft seat of the keyboard comes from Jiadalong. There is a layer of noise-reducing cotton between the PCB and the positioning board, and a complete silicone pad is also laid on the bottom cover to solve the noise and vibration problems when the shaft touches the bottom. , to improve the feel performance of the keyboard. Of course, if you have other ideas, you can also DIY yourself.

At the software level, V1 continues Keychron’s feature of supporting QMK and VIA open source, and uses the open source programming VIA software to program and remap the keys on the keyboard. To be honest, the operation of setting the key positions through VIA software is somewhat difficult to get started, and it is not as straightforward as the special driver software. If you are interested, you can follow the instructions on the official website to operate. Of course, for players who love tossing, there are higher playability.

In terms of user experience, the double-sided wall structure of the K-pro red shaft has relatively good stability, and the shaft core is less likely to shake during the pressing process. The ex-factory self-lubricating support brings a smooth and smooth pressing experience to the shaft body, and the overall stroke is evenly stressed without excessive rustling. As far as the experience is concerned, the K-pro red switch can be regarded as an independent switch body with comprehensive quality. The large key position of the V1 keyboard is designed with a satellite shaft. The screw fixing method is different from the common structural design. With sufficient grease adjustment, the large key position touches the bottom without any sticky feeling, and there is no unnecessary noise and wire sound. .

As the first product of the V series, the Keychron V1 retains the Q1's array size and appearance design, and further reduces the cost by replacing the plastic body, but its user experience is not much different from that of the Q series, and still has a higher Excellent playability and stable input experience. Keychron V1's affordable price and stable experience are enough to make it the first 75% keyboard for young people.

As one of the most commonly used peripherals, the keyboard plays an important role in both office and game scenarios. When choosing a keyboard, in addition to paying attention to its hardware configuration and practicality, its appearance is also an indispensable part. However, a large part of the keyboards currently on the market are relatively stable and single in shape, and there are not many keyboards with a personalized design style.

And I recently bought the Daryou Small Cube Sugar Z82 office mechanical keyboard, which has a unique appearance design. It adopts a compact layout scheme of 82 keys, which is not only light but also has an online appearance. Lovely feeling, after this period of actual use, I personally think this mechanical keyboard is both good-looking and easy to use. The hardware configuration is quite good. It is equipped with sky axis V2 with PBT keycaps, and supports wired, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth. There are three connection modes, and then I will share the experience of using this keyboard.

The unpacking process will be skipped this time. In the box, there is the body of the Daryou Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard, a USB-C power supply data cable about two meters long, three spare keycaps of different colors, 2.4GHz Wireless receiver, multimedia rotary button cat claw cover, and manual, but does not come with a keycap puller.

There are currently two color-matched versions of Daryou Small Fangtang Z82 mechanical keyboard, which are vitality powder and canvas white. I have the vitality powder version in my hand. The shell and keycap characters are mainly pink. The pink appearance is suitable for girls. It is very attractive, and adopts a more rounded shape design. The transition between the four corners and the edges is smooth, giving people the first impression of being round and soft.

In addition to the sleek and cute shape design, the size and weight of the fuselage are well controlled. The size of the Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard is 33*14*4cm, and the weight is only 760 grams, which is comparable to a 14-inch laptop. The ratio is even comparable, and the light weight and small size have advantages in portability, so there is no pressure to carry it out and use it.

The mechanical keyboard adopts a compact 82-key layout design. Compared with the common 104-key standard layout, it only compresses the numeric keypad area, which is similar to the key layout on a notebook computer. At the same time, it has a wealth of FN combination key functions, which can realize Screen brightness adjustment and multimedia shortcut control provide users with a more complete typing experience.

Ordinary mechanical keyboards are subject to compatibility, and some keys may not work when used on Mac system devices. This Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard is compatible with Windows and Mac system devices at the same time. It can quickly switch to different operating modes, and flexibly switch between different system devices. The exclusive logo of the Mac system is printed on the side of the keycap.

On the upper right corner of the mechanical keyboard is the multimedia physical knob, which is mainly white in color, and the cat claw cover is made of soft silicone material. You can adjust the volume of the system by rotating left and right, and directly press the knob to achieve mute operation. There are three buttons on the left side of the knob. There are two status indicators, which are caps lock, Bluetooth pairing and charging indicator.

The mechanical keyboard adopts the design of separating the keys and wires. The connection mode switch and the USB-C charging interface are located on the left side of the top. The 2.4GHz wireless receiver is placed under the interface. When the 2.4GHz wireless connection mode is not used, the receiver can be placed directly The storage compartment avoids loss, and the mechanical keyboard supports three connection modes: wired, Bluetooth wireless and 2.4GHz wireless.

The entire shell of the mechanical keyboard is made of PC plastic, and the bottom surface adopts a stepped shape design, which looks more layered and three-dimensional. It is also designed with five slender non-slip rubber pads and equipped with two-stage adjustable feet. The support can be adjusted to three different heights. The mechanical keyboard has a built-in lithium battery with a capacity of 2000mAh. It is advertised that the battery life can reach 15 days when the backlight is turned off.

The mechanical switch mounted on the Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard is the sky switch V2, which is a straight-up and straight-down linear switch. The total stroke of the switch is 4.0mm, the trigger stroke is 2.0mm, and the trigger pressure is 37g. The factory red shaft has a service life of up to 5000W times. The shaft body adopts a blue and white two-tone design, and the upper cover of the shaft body is blue and translucent. The shaft column is white.

Large keys such as the space bar and enter key all adopt the satellite shaft scheme, and replace them with mechanical shafts with a greater pressure in order to offset the weight of the keycap itself, so that the pressing feel between the keys is more consistent, and the mechanical shafts are installed On the positioning plate made of PC, there is a built-in sound-absorbing silicone pad to reduce the cavity sound when the mechanical shaft is knocked to the bottom.

The keycaps of the mechanical keyboard are made of PBT material and are manufactured by a two-color closed-end molding process. The characters directly penetrate the entire layer of the keycap, so there is no need to worry about problems such as character fading. The edges of the keycap are round and neat without burrs. Compared with The ABS material keycap is more resistant to oil stains, even if the keycap surface is used for a long time, it is not easy to oil.

The shape design of this Dalyou small cube sugar Z82 mechanical keyboard visually gives people a kind of elegant and gentle, yet soft and cute feeling. It is not as dull and single as ordinary keyboards, nor as dazzling as e-sports keyboards. Cool and avant-garde, the round and lovely shape is matched with the light pink color scheme, which makes it highly recognizable. I believe that not many girls can resist the temptation.

The mechanical keyboard is plug and play without driver software. Personally, I have always kept the computer desktop as clean and simple as possible. I don’t like all kinds of messy data cables, so I will try to use 2.4GHz wireless connection, which is more stable than Bluetooth wireless connection. Stronger, and there will be no delay, as long as the mechanical keyboard is charged at the right time.

Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard adopts 82-key compact layout design, which is much shorter than the keyboard with 104-key standard layout, which significantly reduces the occupation of desktop space, and the space vacated can be used for other Items, such as the digital tablet that I often use, and the mouse also have a larger movable space.

It supports automatic sleep function. When it detects that it has been idle for a period of time, it will automatically enter the sleep state to save power. When the backlight is turned on, the battery life will definitely be reduced. If you cooperate with the appropriate reduction of the brightness of the backlight, you can easily do it. By charging once a week, I personally think the overall battery life is not bad.

Due to the frequent use of laptops and desktop computers for work, it is indeed difficult to accommodate two mechanical keyboards at the same time in a limited desktop space. It is particularly important to be able to connect multiple devices. Dareu Small Cube Z82 mechanical keyboard supports Bluetooth wireless, wired and 2.4GHz wireless three connection modes, through the connection mode switch on the top of the fuselage, you can quickly switch to different connection modes, through the 2.4GHz wireless mode to connect to the desktop, and the Bluetooth wireless mode is used to connect to the notebook computer.

Next, let’s talk about the subjective feel of the sky switch V2, which is a straight up and down linear switch body, but the pressure in grams is lighter than that of the red switch, and it has a very light pressing feel. It is smooth and smooth without a sense of resistance at all, and it touches the bottom firmly and rebounds neatly.

If it is used in the dormitory, office, library and other scenarios, and there is a higher requirement for the mute effect of the buttons, then you can choose the canvas white version equipped with the Kaihua light tone switch body. The difference between the two should be similar to the red switch and the mute red switch. The difference between the shafts is that they are all straight up and down linear shafts, but the cavity sound of the Kaihua light tone shaft will be much reduced, and there will be a soft feeling when you press down and touch the bottom.

The front of the keycap adopts the design of concave in the middle and raised around the surroundings, which is similar to the shape of a ball cap, but the height is smaller than the latter, so the distance between the surface of the keycap and the desktop is not too high, and it is basically not necessary to use it with a palm rest. , Different from the common design of concave in the middle and convex on the left and right, the concave arc of the keycap fits the arc of the fingertips very well, and the three-dimensional and wrapping sense is stronger when pressed on the keycap.

The keyboard adopts a compact layout scheme of 82 keys, which only compresses the area of ​​the numeric keypad. The layout is very similar to the keyboard on a laptop, and has less impact on the efficiency of daily game input. Function keys, so that it has a more complete text editing input experience.

The upper right corner is equipped with a volume adjustment knob, whether it is in the process of gaming, watching movies or working, you can adjust the volume of the system in real time or enable the mute state. The knob feels just right. When the white knob is covered with soft silicone material After the cat's claw cover, you can't help but rotate and press it to feel its soft and elastic feel.

The mechanical keyboard is equipped with a single white backlight, and supports a variety of dynamic lighting effects. You can choose different lighting effects according to your preferences, and supports four-level brightness adjustment. Since the keycaps made of PBT are not transparent, the white light passes through the pink The reflection of the positioning board is more natural, soft and unobtrusive visually.

general comment

The appearance of this Dalyou small cube sugar Z82 mechanical keyboard is really hard to put it down. With its round and soft shape and light pink color scheme, the cat claw cover in the upper right corner is the finishing touch. It can be said that it is for the pursuit of Tailor-made for people with good looks, it will attract attention no matter where it is placed. The compact and lightweight design and the separation of keys and wires make it not occupy much space on the desktop, and at the same time have high portability. Easily take it to the library office for use. The hardware configuration of the mechanical keyboard is also excellent. It is equipped with Sky Switch V2 with PBT material keycaps. The cavity sound when the shaft touches the bottom, the keycap feels dry and comfortable and has a strong sense of wrapping. It is very friendly to users who code for a long time. It is compatible with Windows/MAC dual-system devices, and supports wired, 2.4GHz wireless and Bluetooth 5.0/3.0 Three connection modes, free connection is no longer subject to the compatibility of the device, generally speaking, it can really give people a different visual perception and fun of use.

When I was in school, my goal was to become a "white-collar worker", because that is an elegant name for a decent worker. After entering this complicated society, I realized that "community animal" is the most appropriate adjective. In the Internet age, there is no such thing as "9 to 5". 996 is a more realistic portrayal of work. After gradually becoming the backbone of the family with "the old and the young", the time spent in the office is not the longest but longer .

Passing through the busy traffic, saying goodbye to the feasting and feasting, and walking into the company facing the rising sun every day, began a day of "Internet" life. If the daily work is to fight monsters and upgrade, then it is particularly important to buy some handy equipment. In the dungeon, a good-looking and easy-to-use mechanical keyboard is especially important. Release some stress. Recently, with the attitude of giving it a try, I bought a K310 of the DURGOD TAURUS series to test the waters. I never expected that the appearance and experience exceeded expectations.

Taurus means reliability, stability and elegance, which is most suitable for social animals. The blue and black color packaging box is quiet and high-end. As an entry-level mechanical keyboard, there are not many brands willing to work hard on the packaging.

If it is nothing unusual to send a key puller, then it is very kind to have two data cable cables (C-B, C-C) as standard, and even a cable tie to solve the length of the cable is very detailed.

Now there are more and more different shafts on the market, but based on my personal experience, if you want to be safe, you should choose [CHERRY] honestly. This thing is still high-tech. Durga is a brand that keeps the bottom line. The whole series uses cherry shafts directly supplied by the original German factory, which are absolutely high-quality in terms of touch and response speed.

K310 is unavoidably the first mechanical keyboard for many people, so here I will talk about how to choose the most suitable one among the various colors of switches. If you like violent aesthetics, go for the black switch. This switch is the toughest. If you are not afraid of noise and like crackling, then go for the green switch or the brown switch. There is not much difference between the two. Choose the color you like; if you are more restrained, you like it. If it is relatively quiet and comfortable, then choose the red switch. I hope to add a word "more" and there is also a silent red switch. As for the silver switch, which is the advantage of Cherry, it is generally a little more expensive than other switches. The biggest feature is that it feels refreshing. It is neat, and if girls want to save effort or play more games and want to operate faster, then the silver axis is strongly recommended.

I am used to using the green switch. Although it is very decompressive and cool, it is really disturbing. It is not convenient for colleagues to knock on the break time, so I bought a red switch this time to try to avoid being scolded a few times, haha.

In addition to the shaft body, the keycap is also very important. Whether it is the touch or the appearance, the material is more important. The K310 uses a high content of PBT material, which performs well in terms of wear and resistance, and is relatively more oil-resistant. Make sure it stays looking good even if the pan is a little longer.

Dujia's painting process looks good. Blue is actually a "dangerous" color. If you are not careful, it will be very LOW and cheap. But as a blue lover, you can only gamble on "light fog". Blue", I was really worried before receiving the goods, and to be honest, it really exceeded expectations after I got it. How should I put it, that kind of vision is very elegant and beautiful!

Let’s talk about the operating experience again. From the side, you can see that this keyboard uses OEM height stepped keycaps, which are fully compatible with the aesthetics and feel. Many people are arguing about the advantages of OEM height keycaps and original factory height keycaps. I personally think there is no comparison. This depends on the choice of the brand. After all, different manufacturers have different compatibility requirements and design languages.

In terms of overall experience, the layout of the keys is still very reasonable. There is no conflict among the 104 keys. Whether it is a cousin or a game expert, any number of combination keys can be easily triggered.

Pull in the "lens" and look at the F keys on the top row. Different commonly used function logos are printed on the side, making the office process easier and more convenient.

In addition to the simple key combination design, Dujia’s keyboard can also edit other keys except Fn through its Zeus driver software. Macro settings are really a blessing for gamers. It can solve various complex key combination operations. God's way is one step faster than others.

What can bring people back to the good memories of the "computer class" is the classic simple indicator light design. Let me introduce the meanings of each, from left to right: Number Lock indicator light, Caps Lock indicator light, Scroll Lock indicator light (scroll lock, scrolling pages more conveniently), lock key (Fn+ Left WIN) indicator light (win key is locked to prevent accidental touch pop-up window during the game), driver software custom key layout configuration call (Fn+F12) indicator light.

【Two-stage foot support design】Three different use angles can be realized to meet the needs of more users and scenarios.

The rotating shaft here is actually the detail that distinguishes the quality of the keyboard. It is recommended that you can compare and compare it yourself if you have the conditions.

[Three-way wire slot design] Keep the desktop clean and simple, whether your power supply port is on the left or right side, it can be hidden and arranged, and the socket is also designed with a fool-proof slot to make the wire power supply more stable.

A simple design, although it will increase the cost of the merchant, but the aesthetic level has really taken a big step.

If the wire is too long, this strap will come in handy, it's really the details.

The German original cherry switch ensures the experience, the high-quality PBT keycap guarantees the life, and the Duga Zeus drive realizes the expansion, and then it is matched with colors such as high-quality spraying technology, large key position of the satellite switch adjusted by professional technicians, OEM The presentation of details such as height stepped keycaps, two-stage foot support design, three-way wire groove design on the base, and key wire separation design has undoubtedly created a high-quality mechanical keyboard with both appearance and experience. It can be said that this The K310, even as a social animal, has decent and excellent equipment.

In summary,

Brothers, let’s just say that girls really have no resistance to cute items. Take my wife as an example. The original Luofei milk tea set is used well. I saw that I bought a handful of cement with 100 series. After Hui Xiaoqiao, he coveted it without saying a word, and he wanted to go with it, but he had no choice but to promise to give her a hand. It just happened that Luo Fei's Xiaoqiao series has two new models recently. The theme colors are Galaxy and Cotton Candy respectively. Galaxy has a stronger artistic atmosphere, while Cotton Candy has a touch of gentleness, and the keycap pattern is more cute. After much hesitation, the Cotton Candy theme was finally finalized.

The logistics is very good, it was delivered before Valentine’s Day, the outer packaging is also very girly, the pattern and color are very cute, to my surprise, besides the data cable and battery, this time the accessories also come with a metal tray , really made me envious.

In terms of appearance, since this marshmallow is essentially the Xiaoqiao series keyboard, both the key arrangement and the function layout are consistent with the previous cement gray color matching. Here is a brief introduction.

The front is a compact 100-arrangement design, which has a full-key function experience, but the volume is much smaller, and it saves space on the desktop.

The keycap is made of PBT material, the corners are very rounded, and the height is the LSA height created by Luo Feijia. The pattern on the keycap adopts the sublimation process, which is not easy to fade and oil after long-term use.

The fonts and patterns are a bit hand-painted. The contrast of the color is relatively low, which looks very soft. It matches the overall color matching of the keycaps and will not look too jumpy.

Viewed from the side, this marshmallow keyboard also has a classic 9° slightly warped design. This arc is very in line with the curve of the wrist. When the palm is naturally resting on the keyboard, it will fit very well and is not easy to fatigue.

Other design details have not changed. For example, the three-mode rotary switch that I like is still equipped with lights, the battery compartment at the bottom can still accommodate the 2.4G receiver, and there are also silicone feet at the bottom, English slogan on the right and Embossed logos are also readily available. These details make me often feel that Luo Fei's designers must be a group of stubborn people who pursue perfection.

As a keyboard that supports full-key hot-swappable, Luofei Marshmallow can naturally replace the switch body easily. Remove the keycap, and you can see that the G red Pro switch from Jiadalong is assembled this time. Self-lubricated, soft and waxy to the touch, and good mute effect, it is a very comprehensive shaft body, plus this time a silicone sandwich pad is added between the PCB board and the positioning board, which further eliminates the cavity sound, even if it is It is used in a very quiet environment and is not afraid of disturbing others.

The attached metal tray mentioned before unpacking is actually used to place dolls on the keyboard. Of course, the type of dolls may not necessarily be Luo Fei’s own set of Longli, and you can use whatever you like. Put it, it would be better if it has a magnetic suction function, it can be adsorbed more stably. Here I will use the Longli suit to show you the matching effect.

Here I will use the Longli suit to show you the matching effect.

Let’s add a few actual table effects. The mouse and mouse pad are also from Luo Fei’s family. There is nothing to say about the appearance.

For daily use, the three-mode connection + 100-key compact layout is still very comfortable to use. In terms of advantages, the connection is stable, the switch is convenient, the appearance is high enough, the hand feels comfortable, and the mute is not disturbing. There are also disadvantages. When will you come? A rechargeable version with a built-in lithium battery would be just fine.

The above, in general, is still a very worthwhile keyboard, especially for girls, it is worth starting with the appearance and design alone. If you also want to give your sister a keyboard, this Luo Fei Xiaoqiao Marshmallow limited edition will be a good choice.
