Gaming peripheral products have developed rapidly in recent years, and their functions and types have become more and more abundant. On the other hand, office peripheral products, which are the most frequently encountered in daily life, have not launched new technologies or new design concepts for many years. In the current work and life, the demand for computers and mobile phones is increasing, and typing with a keyboard has gradually become one of the necessary skills for more people. However, due to the problem of the key layout and structural scheme of the traditional keyboard, it will cause soreness, swelling and pain in the wrists, shoulders and other positions after long-term use. Therefore, a keyboard product that can reduce the fatigue of long-term use is very necessary. . Rapoo has recently launched the NK8800 ergonomic wired keyboard, which adopts an ergonomic middle separation scheme. Next, let us see if it is more suitable for daily use.

Packaging & Accessories:

The external packaging of Rapoo NK8800 ergonomic wired keyboard products is relatively large, which continues the consistent packaging style of Rapoo office series. The package with the main color of blue provides information such as the product model, display picture, and feature identification. The accessories are a bit simple, and only a paper manual is provided.

Appearance & Details:

The overall size of the Rapoo NK8800 ergonomic wired keyboard is relatively large, about 480mm×215mm×47mm, which is significantly larger than the conventional keyboard. The keyboard adopts an ergonomic shape, that is, based on the traditional QWERTY keyboard layout, the left and right plates are separated to form a 17° golden angle, allowing users to fully open their shoulders and arms and maintain a natural posture. The middle position of the keyboard is higher, and gradually lowers to both sides, forming two slopes that are not too high, allowing users to naturally tilt their hands when using, and keep the same distance when pressing fingers, which is easier to use than ordinary keyboards. Comfortable and labor-saving. The keyboard adopts a dark gray color scheme as a whole, and the surface is frosted. The texture performance is relatively good. The dark color is more suitable for office style and business style. Coordinated without being obtrusive.

The three indicator lights of the keyboard are designed at the top position separated in the middle, which is very convenient for identification and allows users to easily identify the current status of the keyboard. The upper right corner provides multimedia function buttons, which allow users to control music play/pause, volume addition and subtraction, etc., and can also realize one-key mute, call calculator, favorites and other shortcut operations with the combination of FN keys, which has high practicality. performance and convenience.

The lower part of the keyboard provides a wrist rest, which is integrated with the keyboard and cannot be disassembled. The wrist rest is made of PU leather surface wrapped with memory foam, the surface is delicate and gentle to the touch, and the moderate friction force also makes it more stable for users to place and use, and is not easy to slip. The inner filling is very soft to press, and the slow rebound characteristics can also provide sufficient support for the user's wrist, improving the user's comfort. The wrist rest is consistent with the curve of the keyboard, with smooth lines and natural transitions. The left side of the wrist rest is also slightly wider than the right side, which is consistent with the common input angle, which can provide sufficient support for the user's wrist, reduce the fatigue of long-term use, and improve the comfort of use.

The bottom of the keyboard is relatively flat as a whole, and five rubber anti-skid pads and two folding feet are provided. The former can make the keyboard stable and not easy to slide, and it can also prevent the keyboard from sliding on various material desktops, which will affect the use. The two folding legs can also allow users to find a more suitable input inclination angle, which is very considerate for the different habits of user groups. The tops of the two feet are also equipped with rubber anti-skid pads, which can also ensure the non-slip performance of the keyboard when the feet are opened. The keyboard adopts a wired connection method and supports a plug-and-play drive-free solution. The cable length of about 1.8 meters can also meet the desktop layout requirements of most users.

The Rapoo NK8800 ergonomic wired keyboard adopts a crater-structured silicone membrane structure, which is simple and easy to maintain, and has a certain waterproof effect, and the pressing feel should be more stable. The interior is made of high-quality silicone, which can provide a key life of about 10 million times, and has high durability and long-lasting feel. It can provide easy and soft pressing performance, and the moderate rebound force also makes continuous tapping easier. A balance structure is also added to the large key position, which can provide a better feel performance for the large key position. The keycap is made of ABS material with laser engraving technology, which has a certain anti-wear effect. The surface feels fine and smooth, and the characters are clear and not raised. The hand feel is still very good.

In actual use, the noise control of the Rapoo NK8800 ergonomic wired keyboard is very good, and it will not cause interference to others. The ergonomic partition and tilting scheme also make the author no obvious fatigue after a day of use. Feeling, the shoulders and arms are also relatively stretchable, without the usual tension and soreness. The wide hand rest can also provide enough support for the wrist, and there is no obvious fatigue on the wrist and the back of the hand. However, the split scheme of the main key area still needs to get used to it when you first get started, and the enlarged design of some keys can further reduce the user's adaptation time, and the design details are still in place. In normal use after a little adaptation, the input speed and use efficiency can also be kept consistent with daily life, or even slightly exceeded, which is helpful to improve work efficiency and maintain good health.

Summarize:

Although the Rapoo NK8800 ergonomic wired keyboard looks a bit unique in appearance, the separate ergonomic design can reduce the fatigue of the hands, wrists, shoulders and necks under long-term use, and has a significant use effect .

Customized keyboard kits have been very popular among user groups in the past two years. From the earliest group-buying PCB and aluminum shells to the launch of various hot-swappable finished kits, driven by the majority of users, the development is still very rapid. Lofree, as a well-known fashion life brand in China, with a series of trendy peripheral products, very aesthetic design and rich color matching, it is even more attractive to female users. The newly launched Xiaoqiao series products have won the favor and praise of many users with their rich arrangement, function and appearance. Recently, Lofree launched the Xiaoqiao Pro keyboard kit, which provides a wealth of personalized collocation options, such as the main body color, sandwich material, positioning plate material, side panels, shaft body, keycaps, etc. can be selected and matched, Next, follow the author to take a look at this keyboard kit with super playability.

After the product arrives, the first thing you get is the joy of unpacking. All the parts of the Xiaoqiao Pro keyboard kit are individually packaged, and the names of the parts are marked with stickers, which is very friendly to obsessive-compulsive users like the author. Several larger packages are keyboard casing, positioning board, PCB, sandwich pad and keycap, and many small boxes are like side panels, shaft bodies, satellite shafts, installation tools, lubrication kits, etc. Bring better psychological satisfaction to users.

After unpacking the Lofree Xiaoqiao Pro Keyboard Kit, the above components are included, and the internal protection of the package is also tight enough to avoid bumps and damages during the express logistics process. There are also tools such as customized USB Type-C cables, key pullers, shaft pullers, and cleaning brushes in the accessories, which are very considerate. In addition, the kit provides a variety of shell and side panel colors, as well as different types of positioning plates, shafts, and keycaps, which can better meet the selection requirements of different users for feel and color matching. The author here chose a white shell, a brass brushed positioning plate, a gray side plate, and Kaihua linear jellyfish shaft and bone art theme keycap.

Lofree's brand information is printed on the positioning board, sandwich cotton and PCB, and the brand recognition and details are handled with great care. The PCB supports the current mainstream shaft hot-swap solution, which is very convenient for shaft installation and replacement. The sandwich cotton made of PORON can also better filter the noise generated during tapping, improve the bottoming feel, and further optimize the user's tapping experience. The copper wire drawing positioning plate also has a good workmanship performance, which also makes the knocking feel more tough. Various combinations and matching methods also allow users to freely choose according to their personal preferences, fully meeting the different needs of users for customization.

The keyboard bottom case of the Lofree Xiaoqiao Pro keyboard kit continues the "small warp" design of the curved bottom case, and it still has a large curvature from the side. The curved bottom case is also used in many customized kits. It can be said to be unique and has a very high degree of recognition. The shell is made of aluminum alloy as a whole, and the surface is treated with baking varnish. The visual texture and feel are both good, and it is very convenient to hold in the hand. The two sides adopt a detachable side panel solution, which is fixed by four screws. A variety of bottom shell and side panel matching solutions also make this kit more playable. The bottom of the bottom case provides a strip-shaped bottom support structure, which takes into account the battery compartment, power switch, and USB Type-C interface, achieving a better balance between aesthetics and convenience. The interior of the fuselage is treated with a push-pull structure, and the cable for connecting to the PCB is preset, which further reduces the difficulty of installation, and is also very friendly for novice users to assemble and debug.

In order to facilitate the installation and debugging of users, grease and lubricating oil for satellite shafts and shaft bodies are also presented as accessories, so that users can debug satellite shafts and lubricate shafts according to their own needs. For detailed operation methods, users can go to Station B searches for related content. The side plate fixing screws and the satellite shaft are also packaged independently, and are fixed by EVA foam, which is convenient to use and avoids confusion and loss.

The difficulty of assembling is relatively low, and it can be easily completed by following the steps in the instruction manual. After placing the PCB, PORON sandwich cotton and positioning board in sequence, you can first install the four-corner position and the satellite shaft position as a fixation, and then lubricate and debug the satellite shaft until you are satisfied. Then install all the remaining shafts and silicone clips in sequence, and the keyboard inner tank is basically completed. The bottom shell of the keyboard also provides a number of silicone support sheet installation card positions, which can provide soft support for the keyboard liner and optimize the percussion feel.

After everything is installed, pull out the cable to the right to facilitate the subsequent installation of the cable. The bottom shell has a built-in slide rail structure, and the liner and the bottom shell can be easily fixed by pulling. The "Gasket" structure is realized through the silicone clip on the positioning plate and the silicone support inside the shell. This improved "Gasket" belongs to the harder category in terms of soft bullet performance. Users who have higher requirements for soft bullet feel should pay attention. After installing and fixing the connecting cable, you can first conduct a connection test. After confirming that there is no problem, install and fix the side panels on both sides. The main body of the keyboard is basically installed. The sliding rail structure scheme also makes this keyboard very convenient to disassemble and assemble. With the hot-swapping scheme of the shaft body, it also allows users to change and adjust the keyboard more easily to meet the user's personalized needs for feel and sound.

After installing the keycaps, the overall installation of the Lofree Pro keyboard kit is basically completed. The author's set of SA ball caps uses large off-white keys with a green main key area, and adds some dark keycaps for embellishment. The character design is also very individual, and it also has a good visual appearance. The Xiaoqiao Pro keyboard adopts the very popular bluetooth wired dual-mode connection scheme and 68-key arrangement layout, and provides a double FN key scheme, which allows the number keypad to provide three-layer key values. The arrangement design is still very interesting. , For users, it still needs a certain learning cost to adapt. Common F area operations need to cooperate with the FN function key in the upper right corner to realize such as Bluetooth pairing, F area key position and some function keys, and cooperate with the FN function key in the lower right to realize multimedia control, screen brightness switching, calling programs and other operations. Familiar with After operating the logic, the performance in daily use is still very good.

Lofree Luofei Xiaoqiao Pro keyboard kit adopts the improved "Gasket" structure. Due to the internal structure scheme, this keyboard is not an extremely soft-bouncing adjustment style in terms of feel adjustment, but a slightly tough bottoming feel. The linear jellyfish shaft is light and smooth when struck, rebounds to follow the hand, presses stably, and also has a good percussion performance. However, since the bottom shell adopts a special shape with a radian, and there is no internal filling, there will still be some cavity sounds when knocking. Users with higher requirements can consider filling the interior later by themselves. The creative slide rail structure and the improved "Gasket" scheme have a good performance in installation, maintenance, percussion, and sound feedback. I believe it can meet the requirements of most users for customized keyboards. The keyboard kit of Xiaoqiao Pro has excellent performance in terms of structural scheme, detail control and overall workmanship. It can also be seen that Lofree Luofei has devoted himself to the field of mechanical keyboards.

Summarize:

The Lofree Xiaoqiao Pro keyboard kit has a very rich selection of collocations, which can meet the different preferences and needs of most users. The installation process is simple and convenient, and it is easy to get started. It is also very friendly to users with less hands-on ability. You can enjoy the fun of DIY keyboards. The Bluetooth and wired dual-mode connection scheme also makes this keyboard better adapt to different usage scenarios, with outstanding appearance and excellent feel, and can also bring users multiple visual, tactile, and auditory enjoyments. At present, the Lofree Xiaoqiao Pro keyboard kit can be purchased and placed through the Lofree applet. Users who like it may wish to try to create their own keyboard.

Friends often ask me, you have so many keyboards, why do you only use mechanical keyboards, and the thin and light office keyboards are left to eat ashes... It’s not that I don’t use thin and light office keyboards, it’s very convenient to carry them when I go out. However, I admit that the most used ones are mechanical keyboards. Compared with office keyboards, mechanical keyboards have a better typing feel, crisper rebound, and personalized keycaps that can be replaced at any time. For me, changing the keycaps can let me change my mood~

I was lucky to experience the 131-key OEM theme keycaps that Lofree launched during this period of home office. This time, Lofree launched a total of 6 main body keycaps, and I started with two of them, which are ship-mounted. Pandas and street attitude. After using it for a while, more sharing content mainly revolves around personality themes and keycap craftsmanship~

The shipboard panda is a set of main body keycaps that look relatively straight. Whether it is an English key, a number key or a shortcut key, every letter stays on the keyboard in an orderly manner. This design seems to be more suitable for those who are more regular. Don't like to toss the crowd.

The color contrast design is the most conspicuous overall. Alphanumeric keys are designed in light colors, while shortcut keys are designed in dark colors. The combination of the two colliding colors makes the entire keyboard look more personalized. The ESC and two touch typing keys use a brighter brown color, which has a great embellishment effect on the entire keyboard layout and adds a touch of vitality to the keyboard.

There are many mechanical wind elements printed on the keyboard shortcuts, such as boxing gloves, gears, take off, etc. The keycap adopts the sublimation process, the pattern is clear and full, and the high content of PBT is delicate and wear-resistant, not easy to get fingerprints, and not easy to feel greasy.

Compared with the shipboard panda, the main keycap of the street attitude looks a lot more jumpy, and the design of irregular letters and numbers is more personalized. Creative graffiti also embodies interesting souls and unconstrained ideas.

Street Attitude is a set of keycaps suitable for light-colored keyboards. It has a strange and cute shape. Who can refuse such a combination?

This time, Lofree personalized keycaps are equipped with a total of 131 keycaps, which are suitable for most mechanical keyboards on the market. In order to adapt to the two sets of keycaps, I deliberately chose two light-colored friends, a certain K620w and a certain K500, for modification. The actual effect is the same as that seen in the picture, without any abruptness.

The two keyboards I used to test are 87 and 94 configurations. During the matching process, there will inevitably be a problem of mismatching key distances. For this reason, Lofree also prepares keycaps of common sizes as replacements, and keys that cannot be determined It is also replaced with a bright pattern, so that you will not encounter the dilemma of not having enough buttons.

The biggest advantage of the mechanical keyboard is that you can replace the keycaps as you like. During this period, I used two keyboards for transformation. When I replaced the last keycap, my biggest feeling was that I had a new keyboard.

When I get tired of looking at the shipboard panda, I can switch back to the street attitude or replace other keycaps. Each design style can bring me a different mood. This is the biggest use of the themed keycaps.

Sufficient spare keycaps, flagship-level craft design and full-bodied pattern design, I admit that the Lofree theme keycaps are indeed a set of exciting keycaps, even if you don’t like this theme, there are still 4 sets available choose~

The Rapoo mechanical keyboard model I used last time was V860, which is a mechanical keyboard with high workmanship and high cost performance. At that time, I recommended several people around me to buy this keyboard. This time I unpacked Rapoo’s latest product MT510PRO wireless mechanical keyboard.

Let me express my surprise from the packaging box. Unlike the past, the material of the packaging box has been replaced by cardboard with an overwhelming structure, and a layer of colorful packaging is added on the outer layer. Rapoo has finally worked hard on the appearance and materials. .

MT510PRO belongs to 75% configuration, with a total of 84 keys.

· Keyboard body*1

· Data cable*1

· 2.4G Receiver*1

· Key puller*1

· manual*1

MT510PRO has a total of two keycap colors, which are "Navigation Diary" and "Meow Cute Holiday". , with a low configuration structure, it is a feminine mechanical keyboard as a whole, and the linear axis is more suitable for girls.

MT510PRO adopts aluminum alloy frame, CNC trimming, similar to iPhone frame technology, straight line design elements, there is an illusion of aluminum lumps, and the addition of metal elements improves the texture to a higher level.

It can be seen from the side that this keyboard belongs to the keycap suspension design.

From the above angle, you can see the MT510PRO’s USB-C data cable socket, power switch key, and non-slip feet. It supports Bluetooth 5.0, Bluetooth 3.0, wireless 2.4G, and wired four connection methods. Because this keyboard is small and exquisite, it is suitable for wireless desktop matching and is pleasing to the eye. It is recommended to use Bluetooth 5.0 to connect to the computer, 5.0 can achieve ultra-low latency, and the built-in 4000mAh lithium battery can ensure long battery life. Currently, keyboards equipped with Bluetooth 3.0 are indeed rare. This keyboard may be used by users of XP and win7 systems.

The shaft equipped on the Rapoo MT510PRO is the Kuaiyin shaft developed by Rapoo itself, which is a linear shaft, quiet and soft to the touch.

· Trigger stroke: 1.3±0.5mm

· Trigger pressure: 45±10cN

· Paragraph sense: no

"Meow Meng Holiday" keycaps belong to Pbt five-sided sublimation keycaps, which have a matte texture, are not easy to fade, and are not easy to stick to fingerprints.

This 300-priced wireless keyboard is also equipped with RGB backlight effects, which is also a surprise action. You can set a variety of modes. For example, I prefer pure blue light and white light to increase the sense of atmosphere. When typing at night, you can also use the light to hit the keys. The wireless mode supports any 6-key non-retouching, and the wired mode supports all-key non-reciprocating.

Using the Bluetooth mode or the wireless 2.4G connection method, the Rapoo MT510PRO can be used for easy wireless desktop matching. I personally prefer to use the Bluetooth mode because it does not occupy the USB port of the computer.

Code word experience. As a low-profile keyboard, it is more suitable for typing and is a typical typewriter. The Rapoo Kuaiyin switch is also the switch for the first physical examination. The characteristic of the linear switch is that it has no sense of paragraph and is triggered by the sinking stroke. It feels soft and has no spring sound. Compared with the linear switches of the gold powder switch, the Rapoo Kuaiser silver switch is not inferior, and it is easy to type. I think it is suitable for girls who code every day. The beautiful color matching can also add a little color to the desktop.

The beautiful keycaps add a lot of color to the desktop.

If you use the keyboard for a long time, it is recommended to use a keyboard palm rest like Xiaogu.
