I have used many brands of mechanical keyboards, most of them are domestic mechanical keyboard switches, and the TTC switches and Kaihua BOX switches are more contacted. Zealpc Tealio Tiffany switches and Razer's self-developed optical switches are all used by their own brands. I have heard of CHERRY MX shaft before, but I have never bought it. Recently, a friend in the circle bought a set of CHERRY's original silent red-axis mechanical keyboard, so I had the cheek to come over and experience it first. This can be regarded as a rare opportunity to experience it.



When I got it, I found that the packaging box of the CHERRY mechanical keyboard is obviously different from the mechanical keyboard packaging boxes used by those brands I have come into contact with in the past.



The surface of the packaging box has that kind of leather-like texture, and the packaging box is full of weight in the hand. There are MX axis and CHERRY logo on the side, which indicates that this mechanical keyboard is using the MX axis.



There is also information about the keyboard on the side of the box. What attracts me the most is the Bluetooth logo on the information, which means that this is a Bluetooth keyboard that supports Bluetooth pairing, which also surprised me. After reading the information, I learned a few key points: the keyboard model is CHERRY MX 3.0S wireless mechanical keyboard, MX silent red switch, white.



The CHERRY mechanical keyboard is placed in the foam cotton, and the foam cotton around the upper cover and the box is very thick, so there is no need to worry about accidental damage to the mechanical keyboard such as bumps during the logistics process.



Take out all the items from the box: CHERRY MX silent red switch wireless mechanical keyboard × 1, a paper manual in multiple languages ​​× 1, CHERRY promotional card × 1, USB 2.0 2.4GHz RF wireless receiver × 1 , Silicone head metal thread high pad × 2, USB-A to USB-C cable with USB 2.0 transmission specification (can be used as a wired keyboard, supports function and data transmission) × 1.






The more distinctive fixed foot pad, after removing the rubber pad, screw in the silicone head metal threaded high foot pad. I didn't quite understand it at first, and it was only after reading the manual that I realized that it was used in this way. A certain angle can be presented to raise the height of the mechanical keyboard, and the comfort of hitting the keycap on the mechanical keyboard can be improved by adjusting the height.



The CHERRY mechanical keyboard is a white single-color two-color injection-molded ABS keycap (bringing better light transmission effect, RGB light effect will be better), the whole body looks simple and beautiful.



The frame of the mechanical keyboard is a large aluminum alloy plate, which is more delicate than the plastic frame used by many domestic brands.



The CHERRY logo is printed in the center of the CHERRY mechanical keyboard, and there is a groove on the frame, which is convenient for grasping the mechanical frame to lift the keyboard.



On the back of the mechanical keyboard is also a backplane made of a whole piece of aluminum alloy.



Because this is a wireless mechanical keyboard with a built-in lithium battery. It also supports Bluetooth pairing, so there is a battery warning on the label on the back of the back panel.



There is a small hole here, which is used to reset the mechanical keyboard to factory settings.



There are plastic frames on both sides of the mechanical keyboard. It is estimated that the 2.4GHz radio frequency antenna and Bluetooth antenna are on both sides so that the all-aluminum body material is not used. The steel-free structure used by CHERRY, the steel-free structure uses the shell to gather the sound of the shaft body by removing the positioning plate. It is equipped with a special PCB with better elasticity. While providing a soft and elastic feel, it also presents the original characteristics of the shaft body. It is a feature of CHERRY. It pays attention to the thick and stable use feeling, and is more durable than the Gasket structure adopted by many brands. reliable.



There is also a plastic frame around the top area of ​​the mechanical keyboard, where the power switch key of the mechanical keyboard is placed, and the USB-C charging port is next to it.



There are multimedia shortcut keys in the upper right corner of the mechanical keyboard, through the FN key + the three buttons on the upper right of the far right are: USB wired direct connection, Bluetooth wireless, 2.4GHz wireless, which means that this is a three-mode keyboard . This wireless mechanical keyboard adopts CHERRY's original unique LLP (Low Latency Mode) technology, which belongs to CHERRY's unique self-developed wireless technology, and the delay is less than 1ms at 2.4Ghz.




This is a USB 2.0 2.4GHz RF wireless receiver for mechanical keyboard.





The red axis belongs to the whole without a sense of paragraph, and the hand feels soft. I believe that most people who have a mechanical switch keyboard will eventually choose a red switch as an alternative. The red switches of this mechanical keyboard use CHERRY mute RGB red switches, with a lifespan of 50 million times, 60+20g trigger pressure, 4.1mm total key travel, 1.9+06mm trigger key travel, and a light hand feel.



Since the shaft body is directly positioned on the PCB board, the bottoming feel after hitting will not be so stiff. CHERRY's original silent red switch hits the bottom very stably, the noise is small and the rebound is quick, and the feel is crisp and neat. When I play games, this mechanical keyboard has full-key no-click, 1000hz refresh rate, especially when playing fighting games such as King of Fighters, there is no pressure to perform multi-key operations such as flying, jumping and squatting, and big moves. When you successfully win the K.O with a one-stop combo, the light feel and trigger response of the red silent switch reflect an immediate advantage.




The backlight can be turned on through the shortcut key and supports RGB light effects.




This is the pure white backlight I usually use most often at night, and it will not be as fancy as RGB light effects when used at night.



This is the animation under the pure white LED backlight.



This is a real picture of the mechanical keyboard under the RGB light effect.



This is a moving picture under the LED backlight with RGB light effect.



This is a real photo of the monochrome backlight.



This is an animation under the monochrome LED backlight.



This is an animation under the monochrome LED (breathing effect) backlight.



This is a real photo of the RGB light effect (special effect).






Basically, mainstream RGB light effects can be configured.



When I got the company to use it, my colleagues around me cast envious eyes. I have to say that the appearance of the CHERRY wireless mechanical keyboard is indeed very high.



After returning home from work, turn on the EPIC and play stand-alone games happily.



Under the Windows system, you can check the power status of the wireless mechanical keyboard and wireless mouse on the Bluetooth.




CHERRY's matching keyboard software supports lighting effect adjustment.



The keyboard software that comes with CHERRY also supports custom keyboards (macro settings).



The matching keyboard software of CHERRY can set the USB report rate and brightness.



It also supports upgrading the firmware version of the wireless mechanical keyboard through the keyboard software provided by CHERRY. The software produced by the original factory is mature, stable and reliable, and there have been no BUGs in the experience.



The matching keyboard software of CHERRY has a built-in mini game: Fingertip Fortress.






This small game also has 3 camps to choose from, which is really amazing.




It is necessary to input the pinyin input method in the picture box, and send soldiers by typing to destroy the soldiers sent by the computer.


After a week of use experience, I have a better understanding of the mechanical keyboard of the CHERRY MX switch. The switch body of the CHERRY MX silent red switch feels very comfortable to use, and the gaming experience is good. I am more inclined to play adventure games like Tomb Raider. Complex operations require a good response of the mechanical axis. Moreover, the MX axis of the original factory CHERRY is obviously more reliable in terms of reliability and service life.

For many office workers, the keyboard is the computer accessory that we touch the most in our daily life. As time goes by, the keyboard gradually becomes greasy, even patted. For my obsessive-compulsive disorder, it is really unbearable, so Pick up a rag and a toothbrush and start cleaning, but if you accidentally brush the letters on the keyboard, you can’t find the keys for a long time (although I’m used to touch typing, I still occasionally look down). Helpless, I looked at the price of mechanical keyboards on the Internet, and finally decided to change the keycaps. After all, the price is lower, and it is within the range of my private money.




As for the keycaps, I am still a little picky. After choosing for a long time, I am still loyal to the appearance. It is not accidental to choose Lofree Luofei. I saw the Lofree Luofei mechanical keyboard used by our finance lady in the early days. The appearance is really good. It looks very good. I started with building keycaps. I chose Alice in Wonderland and Shipboard Panda themed keycaps. I considered one set for my daughter-in-law and another set for myself.



The first one to open the box must be Alice in Wonderland prepared for Her Majesty the Queen. The whole set of Alice is still very dreamy, full of girlish hearts.



It should be mentioned here that the compatibility of Lofree keycaps is very good, and other brands of keyboards can also be well adapted. After replacing the keyboard in my hand with a new keycap, it seems to have given new life, even The style has also become different. The bright color on the surface of the keycap makes the details of the pattern more textured.




Many times, we buy keycaps separately without a key puller. Lofree keycaps actually come with a key puller in the package. The keyboard also looks a little easier.




All the keycaps of Lofree Lofei keycaps are made of self-developed high-precision molds. The material of the keycaps is made of imported PBT material with a content of more than 85%. The advantage of PBT material is that it is not oily. Compared with ABS keycaps, this advantage is really suitable. Friends who have been using keyboards for a long time.



I briefly showed my daughter-in-law the replacement effect of the Alice in Wonderland theme keycap, and I took out the shipboard panda theme keycap, after all, this is already my favorite.



The high-precision mold can clearly see that there are no burrs on the keycap, and the injection port is smaller. The Lofree keycap adopts a five-sided sublimation design, which not only reduces the deformation of the keycap, but also makes the pattern on the keycap more exquisite and clear.



The shipboard panda-themed keycaps are more textured than my previous ABS keycaps. After installing them, it is obvious that the surface does not have that greasy feeling. A variety of color matching keycaps are assembled on a keyboard, which also makes the keyboard more dynamic.



In order to use the keyboard comfortably, I started to pull out the keycaps on the original mechanical keyboard one by one, and replaced them with this shipboard panda. It is quite time-consuming to replace a complete set of keycaps, but for us boys, it is very important for us. It seems that it is not interesting to do hands-on electronic products that you are interested in.


It is said that playing with a mechanical keyboard without changing the keycap will make the mechanical keyboard lose its soul. Although my mechanical keyboard is not expensive, I am also happy to change the keycap. The first is to say goodbye to greasy, and the second is fun . The PBT material of Lofree keycaps can easily let you say goodbye to greasy, if you also need to replace the keycaps, you can find Lofree.

The brand Greenlink is probably familiar to everyone. It covers a wide range of digital peripherals, ranging from small data cable charging heads to large private clouds in hard disk storage. I have also bought a lot of its products one after another. The overall feeling to me is that it is exquisite, the texture is quite in place, and the performance is also good. Recently, I saw that it has also started to enter the keyboard field. The newly launched Fun+ features a short axis and looks good. I directly entered one. Here I will briefly share it with you.


▼Fun+ currently has two color schemes, girls’ hearts are bursting

【Dreamland】

and fresh and concise

【Sea Paradise】

. My model is obviously an island paradise, with dark blue packaging and a keyboard sketch printed on the outer box. The brand logo and keyboard model are printed on the front of the package, which is clear at a glance.



▼The packaging box is opened on the side and fixed by magnetic suction. The first thing you see when you open the packaging box is this product declaration "

Go Fun Surf

", the cartoon pattern on the top cover draws the mind to the summer beach in a second, corresponding to the relaxed and casual style of the keyboard positioning.



▼Accessories include keyboard body, data cable, manual, warranty card, dust cover, Mac replacement keycap, and key puller.



▼The color scheme of the keyboard is obviously inspired by the waves and beaches, and the color layering from top to bottom is extremely obvious. Black rocks, dark blue and light blue correspond to sea water of different depths, and then there are gray-white beaches and jumping white waves. The overall design sense is quite sufficient.



▼The keyboard layout is the 84-key that is very popular recently. In addition to the conventional number input and the large F area, the right side retains independent direction keys and function keys. The overall size is 313 X 124 X 25mm. The compact body looks elegant when placed on the desktop, and it will not take up too much desktop space.



▼The keycap adopts the design of outer circle and inner square, with obvious curve transition around, slightly concave in the middle, wide contact area between fingertips and keycap, and the percussion feel is good. It is said that this keycap is officially defined as "

mushroom

"Let me be a little bit reluctant, I think it is more appropriate to call it pebbles, and it is more in line with the keyboard theme.



▼The keyboard is

suspension design

, this is a common design for low-axis keyboards. If a ship shell is used, the keycap is not as high as the frame. The surface of the bottom plate has been frosted, and it feels delicate. The frame also has a circular arc curve, and the overall spirit is relatively strong.



▼From this angle, it can be found that the keycap has an obvious height drop.



▼PGDN This key is very interesting. The official set it as a separate emoticon key. Press it to pop up emoticons, emoticons, and various common symbols. Although this design is not high-tech, it is quite convenient to use, especially It's time to chat.



▼The keyboard shaft body is selected

tall and short tea shaft

, the short switch is characterized by short key travel, fast feedback, and low pressure, and the brown switch is characterized by silence, so the Fun+ keyboard can hardly hear any sound, and the fast response feature is quite suitable for both office work and games .



▼Fun+ keyboard support

Wired/Bluetooth two connection modes

, the interface is

Type-C

, which is also the mainstream wireless keyboard solution. The keyboard can be connected to 4 devices at the same time, switch by FN + number keys. In terms of compatibility, Win, Android, ios, and Mac can all be perfectly adapted. If the main device is Apple, you can also replace the spare MAC keycaps for a more perfect effect.



▼In terms of backlight, Greenlink Fun+ supports

4 brightness adjustments and 15 backlight effects

, you can choose to adjust according to your preferences, and the night environment is not only convenient for input but also adjusts the atmosphere. One more thing, this keyboard is compact overall, so the power consumption rate is relatively low, and it can achieve 180 hours of battery life without turning on the backlight, basically achieving a monthly charge.



▼A glance at the back of the keyboard, the four foot pads and the mode and power switch are all clear at a glance. Here I want to make a complaint, the font is too light when the mode is switched, and I can't read it clearly after reading it for a long time.



▼Because it is an ultra-thin keyboard, Greenlink Fun+ does not use folding foot pads, but instead uses two kinds of foot pads with different heights to make the keyboard form an inclination angle, and cooperate with keycaps of different heights to make the fingers and the keyboard in a more comfortable position Enter an angle. The non-slip material on the top of the foot pad has a firm grip when placed, and there is no shifting phenomenon when inputting.



First of all, I want to say that if you want to buy a keyboard with a strong mechanical feel, Green Link Fun+ is not very suitable for you. So, who is this keyboard suitable for?


Take a look at the features of the keyboard. In terms of appearance, the lovely temperament overflowing from the inside to the outside, the 84-key compact arrangement is light and portable, multi-device compatibility and wired/Bluetooth connection methods, all of which are doomed to make this keyboard for desktop simplicity and mobile users. Imagine using it When a tablet phone or a laptop is connected to an external keyboard, do you want to put a huge keyboard to destroy the overall coordination? Moreover, the keyboard itself is super small, and there is no pressure to carry it around. For friends who regard simplicity and elegance as the standard, this keyboard undoubtedly has its own value.


So, here comes the conclusion, if you don’t have a heavy demand for keyboard input (text creators), and you pay more attention to the characteristics of portability, simplicity, and wireless device adaptation, Greenlink Fun+ is undoubtedly a good choice. Of course, if you are a keyboard collector with no emotions like me, don't even think about it, just enter it!

With the development of technology and the innovation of appearance design, domestic keyboards have achieved rapid development in recent years. Whether it is the research and development of the shaft body, the innovation of the keyboard structure, or the innovation of the appearance design and user-friendly functions, They have all come to the front of the keyboard circle, and there have also emerged many keyboard brands with good overall performance, but most of the first-line brands have no innovations. I feel that they are still relying on their laurels in terms of appearance and connotation. Among the many domestic keyboards, the one I am most familiar with is Dujia, and I just got their K620W recently.



The packaging style of the K620W is still full of technological style, and there is no overly fancy design. Overall, it still emphasizes the practical style. I chose the fog blue 87-key color matching style.




K620W, as a recent new product of Durga, adopts Durga's own wireless three-mode technology in the new mold on the basis of retaining Durga's consistent design style.




From the perspective of the overall color scheme, it meets the needs of users with a neutral-style desktop. too crowded.




From the perspective of the overall layout, it will not appear loose or compact, which improves the compatibility a lot for users with different sizes of hands. The indicator light area is also concentrated on the right, and the icons are more refined.




K320W has red switch, brown switch and silver switch for users to choose from, but for a text worker like me, I still choose the mute red switch habitually.




Full-key hot-swappable has basically become the standard configuration of an excellent keyboard. Without this function, it is embarrassing to say that it is a three-mode mechanical keyboard.




The original height two-color closed PBT keycap, no matter in terms of hand feel or letter aesthetics, it is not inferior to any mainstream keyboard configuration on the market.




It supports the connection and switching of 2 sets of Bluetooth devices, and of course also supports 2.4G and wired mode. In terms of data cable transmission, it is equipped with a USB-C data cable.




The size of the receiver's storage compartment is just right, and the damping is also in place, neither tight nor loose.




The three-stage tutorial plus the anti-slip mat can not only meet the needs of multiple usage scenarios, but also effectively protect your solid wood desktop.




K620W comes with three supplementary keycaps, which can satisfy MAC users to replace the keycaps, so as to use shortcut keys in a more comprehensive way.




In addition, K620W uses a sandwich silicone pad and bottom noise-absorbing cotton to achieve noise reduction in terms of silent and shock absorption, providing users with a good input experience.




Here I have to mention the battery life of the K620W, the charging speed is not only fast, but also the battery life is longer, the battery life is as high as 360 days when using Bluetooth, and 200 days when using 2.4G wireless connection, users don’t have to worry about charging at all question.




In the past two years, from typewriters to K310 to K620W, I have evaluated several Duga keyboards. Generally speaking, their products are very pragmatic, they do not engage in fancy content, and they are serious about making products for users.




In the process of upgrading Dujia products, you can still see every progress and upgrade. Of course, it is more about listening to users' opinions and suggestions, and improving the reliability and ease of use of the product time and time again.




The K602W, as a medium-sized keyboard with 87 keys and a relatively neutral color scheme, is also a very good choice for users who like simple desktops. Of course, those who like number keys can choose 104 keys.




Generally speaking, I personally like this keyboard very much. Although I think there is still a lot of room for improvement in some details, but from the perspective of the overall experience, it has exceeded my expectations.

Forwarder C65, shipped on April 30th, I just got it, I feel that the linear axis is still in the trial process, I bought the 104 wired cherry tea axis from IKBC a few years ago, it is a paragraph-like axis, and it is used for office use , I want to change to a smaller codeword keyboard at home, and I don’t need a full keyboard with number keys, so I thought about buying a keyboard with a small configuration. This time I changed to the newly launched Forerunner C65. The configuration just meets my needs. , but also a gasket structure.




overall effect




After getting it today, it feels really small. The typing sound is really much lower than that of the tea switch. Even the linear switch has to get used to it. The overall workmanship is good, the knob is a bit higher, but it’s okay, it’s not particularly obtrusive, it’s golden The appearance of electroplating feels a bit cheap, but what kind of bicycle do you need at a price of more than 170;




volume knob style




The sound of typing on large keys is different from that of small keys, but typing on large keys will not feel fleshy, especially the space bar, which is well tuned; RGB lighting effects are good, and the styles are also relatively rich. If the time is not used, it will sleep, so it should save power. I tried the 2.4G mode. After sleep, press the button to wake up directly, without delay;




RGB lighting effect




RGB lighting effect




I think the front height is okay, it doesn't affect daily use, and I don't use the palm rest, so typing feels good;




front high




Dahuo solved the problem of the seesaw for testing samples this time. It is relatively stable when placed there and used. The overall feeling is that the price is quite worth it;
