A lot of these keyboards have tiny keys and many people find them annoying to use. If you are one of those people, then these small keys will not be a problem anymor...

A while ago, the keyboard in the office suddenly went on strike, so I hurriedly replaced it with a new one, but the office environment was complicated, and I didn’t know which keyboard to choose, so I chose an old brand—the new product from CHERRY ~

CHERRY can be regarded as the big brother in the mechanical keyboard, and the cherry switch once became synonymous with high-end, stable quality, and high-quality feel. The first mechanical keyboard I bought many years ago was his most basic black switch. Later, I bought the most classic CHERRY G80-3494 as my main office keyboard. It has been used for a long time without damage. This The keyboard has a retro shape, but it takes up more space on the desktop. After changing the computer, I put this keyboard away.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to change the keyboard, I opened the CHERRY store, which I haven’t visited for a long time. I used to think that the keyboard design of this brand is more straight. There are many new products that meet the trend of young people with color matching, such as the low-axis product MX-LP6.1, which is a mini keyboard with 68 columns and three-mode wireless. So I chose another basic colorful color matching wired keyboard, KC200MX.

This keyboard has four colors, all of which are pretty good-looking, and belong to the kind that can be used by both men and women.

The positioning itself is an office keyboard, which is more suitable for my usage scenario, but it also has functions such as full-key no-click, 1000Hz return rate, and button customization, which is more than enough for games.

The next step is to officially enter the unboxing ~

I chose the combination of pink, dark pink and light pink, which is cute and playful, adding a touch of vitality to the desk.

This keyboard is equipped with multimedia keys, and you can quickly control the volume, calculator, etc. through the keyboard. After all, it is very social to suddenly release the sound of a short video in the office. One button can clean the world, which is very practical.

With a full-size keyboard and traditional key positions, it doesn't take much time to get used to it, and you can use it right away. Although the length is a little longer than 86 keys, it is still very practical for office scenes. The numeric keypad is really indispensable at certain times~

The keycap adopts a floating design, which is easy to clean, just blow or wipe it, and the entire keyboard looks lighter and more flexible.

The openable support feet on the back can be opened or folded according to your own usage habits, and a rubber pad is added to the support feet, which makes the two angles have high stability. I personally like a larger slope, so basically They are all locked and opened. Some people like to use the desktop stand and tuck the keyboard under the stand. At this time, the legs can be folded to lower the height of the keyboard and make it easier to tuck in. There are rubber pads on all four corners, so you don't have to worry about slipping.

I still like the fonts of English letters on the keyboard. The keycaps are designed with ball caps. The corners are rounded, which looks very soft and cute. The English fonts are also round. The combination of the two is harmonious and unified.

The keycap is made of PBT material, which is more wear-resistant and not easy to oil.

With a metal matte panel, it will not easily scratch and at the same time, a sense of sophistication emerges spontaneously.

Although the keyboard is dull, several function keys such as caps lock and numlock keys have lights on the lower edge, and the switches are clear at a glance.

With CHERRY KEY assistant software, you can also customize the keys in the F area.

This keyboard is equipped with CHERRY self-developed MX mechanical switches, and the optional switches are classic red, tea, and green switches. I have used the red axis and the green axis. This time I will try the tea axis. The tea axis is also called "universal axis" by players.

The pressure grams and trigger key travel are in the middle of all kinds of shafts. The pressure grams of 55cN and the key travel of 2mm are compatible with the micro-operation requirements brought by the short and medium key travel and the moderate pressure grams. Sustainability, low knocking sound, excellent for office use, whether it is matched with a scene that requires a long time of input, or occasionally relaxing in the office to play a game, the tea switch is a good choice.

The full key has no impact, and the high return rate of 1000hz is more than enough for daily text input.

It is also completely controllable to play a game while working at home.

This keyboard is still very thoughtful - good-looking, comfortable, practical, and detailed.

After all, it is the first office keyboard launched by CHERRY, and the price can be regarded as full of sincerity. With the promotion of Double Eleven, the starting price is really shocking~

As the big brother in mechanical keyboards, CHERRY has not been resting on its laurels in its few classic switches, but has been innovating. In recent years, whether it is the LP short switch or the ultra-short switch used in notebooks, in the Today, when various keyboard brands emerge in endlessly, Cherry can still come up with some eye-catching designs~ to expand the female user group and office user group, and the price is also very good. I believe this change will also allow CHERRY to have more consumer audiences. , into the desks of more people, for example, my female colleague next door has already asked me for a link...

Speaking of mechanical keyboards, in the early years people still regarded it as a standard equipment for geek players, and as the price of mechanical keyboards became more and more affordable, it gradually appeared on the desktops of ordinary computer users, office workers and gaming parties . Compared with ordinary keyboards, it is not only more beautiful in appearance, but also has a more comfortable typing experience with the mechanical shaft body. Some players who like peripherals and tabletops also like to collect various mechanical keyboards.

Rapoo is considered an earlier brand of computer peripherals in China. I remember using Rapoo’s keyboard and mouse set when I was in college. In my impression, Rapoo gave me the first impression of solid materials and cost performance, and the aesthetics have always been mediocre. The recently released MT510 Pro mechanical keyboard caught my attention, and it is also the most beautiful and design mechanical keyboard of Rapoo so far.

The packaging of the keyboard is higher-grade than that of the previous Rapoo products. It uses a cardboard box with a layer of cardboard envelopes on the outside. The packaging style should correspond to the color of the product. I chose the “Voyage Diary” color scheme. The overall packaging is dark blue, with a rendering of the keyboard printed on the front, with Rapoo’s LOGO on the upper left corner, and the product model on the upper right corner.

The keyboard's package contents, system compatibility, and manufacturer information are listed on the side of the box.

The middle of the main box cover is printed with the Rapoo LOGO in blue hot stamping process, which is simple yet stylish.

The packaging content is relatively rich, including keyboard, Type C data cable, 2.4Ghz receiver, key puller and instruction manual.

There are two main reasons why this keyboard looks good. One is that it is equipped with a set of customized keycaps with the theme of "navigation diary", which are composed of dark blue, light blue and white, and gradually become lighter from the left and right sides to the middle in the arrangement. Graphics of nautical theme elements replace text, which is not bad in aesthetics. As a male user, this color matching is not rejected.

The second reason is that this keyboard adopts a 75% arrangement, removes the number key area on the right, and integrates the function keys. In the end, only 84 commonly used keys are retained. Personally, I have always liked this kind of small keyboard, which looks more refined and does not take up too much space on the desktop.

In addition, the MT510 Pro adopts an all-aluminum alloy middle frame, and the surface is supplemented by sandblasting oxidation process. The gun-gray middle frame gives people a calm and restrained impression. CNC chamfering and trimming are also done on the transition of the side of the middle frame, which is more refined, and there is a debossed Rapoo LOGO on the left.

The frameless design makes each keycap look more independent, and the shaft below the keycap can be seen from the side. If there is dust in the gaps of the keyboard, it is easier to clean than the wrapped structure with a frame. Viewed from the side of the keyboard, the rear of the keyboard is higher than the front as a whole. The height of the six rows of keycaps is not exactly the same, the front and rear sides are slightly higher than the middle, forming a natural curve transition, which is ergonomic.

There is a Type C interface reserved behind the middle frame of the keyboard, which can be connected to the computer with the attached cable, and can also charge the keyboard.

The bottom of the keyboard is covered with a complete plastic cover with black matte texture. There are raised non-slip rubber pads at the four corners, and a support foot is designed on the left and right sides of the rear, which can lift the keyboard to a certain angle, but only supports one-stage support. There is a toggle power switch reserved next to the supporting feet on one side, and a self-adhesive nameplate is pasted in the middle.

The Rapoo MT510 Pro mechanical keyboard supports three connection methods: Bluetooth, wireless 2.4Ghz and wired. The Bluetooth mode supports two channels of 3.0 and 5.0 respectively. Switch between different devices. Multiple connection methods not only have better compatibility, but also can meet the needs of a multi-device party like me.

In actual use, the keycaps and shafts most directly affect the keyboard experience. The former determines the tactile comfort, and the latter determines the percussion feel. This set of "navigation diary" themed keycaps carried by MT510 Pro adopts five-sided thermal sublimation process, and the surface is treated into a frosted texture, which is comfortable to the touch and has a certain sense of damping. The characters on the surface of the keycaps are bright in color, and can avoid fading and oiling even after long-term use.

Thanks to Rapoo's years of experience in mechanical keyboards, the MT510 Pro is equipped with the fast silver switches independently developed by Rapoo. According to the official parameters, the trigger formation of the silver axis is 1.3±0.5mm, the trigger pressure is 45±10cN, and there is no obvious sense of paragraph. Each shaft has a lifespan of more than 50 million knocks, and the pressing force and stroke will not change significantly after long-term use, which is durable.

Remove the relatively large keycaps such as the Enter key, and you can find that the large keys all adopt the structure of satellite shafts, and an auxiliary shaft is designed on the left and right sides of the main shaft to avoid the key from being tilted to one side when the key is tapped, resulting in failure to trigger normally. The problem.

As a user who has transitioned from the silent red switch, it is easy to get used to the Rapoo silver switch, and their common characteristics are small trigger pressure and short stroke. The slight difference is that the silver axis has almost no sense of paragraph, and the sound when tapping is also very small, which is very practical for users who are engaged in text entry. You can code for several hours a day, and your fingers won’t feel sore and sleepy. The silent design is also suitable for use in public offices or at home, so you don’t have to worry about affecting colleagues or family members.

When playing the game, I personally feel that the performance of the silver axis is also very good. First of all, this straight up and down tap feeling can shorten the time from triggering the button to responding, making it one step faster and taking the lead in fierce game matches. The second is that when playing games such as Need for Speed, frequently tap a few fixed buttons, and a small trigger pressure can reduce fatigue.

In addition, in the wired mode of Rapoo MT510 Pro, all 84 buttons have no impact, and each button can accurately respond and execute commands. In wireless mode, it supports up to 6 keys without punching, which can basically meet the needs of office and game scenarios. For example, when I use PS to retouch pictures, I will use complex shortcut command buttons, which can help improve work efficiency to a certain extent.

At the same time, in Windows mode, you can also use the Fn+F1-F11 keys to call quick shortcut commands to help quickly start some system tasks, such as browsers, multimedia and other routine operations. The Fn+Win key can also control the Win key to be turned on or locked to avoid accidental touches in full-frequency games.

As a mechanical keyboard with online appearance, backlight is also essential, but Rapoo did not match it with fancy RGB backlight, but chose a set of fluorescent blue backlight, called "ice blue backlight system" . After power on, the light shines through the gaps and sides of the keycaps. The overall feeling is fresh and refined, very elegant. It not only plays the role of illuminating the keyboard characters, but also adds a touch of decoration to the desktop.

In order to give full play to the listening ability of this keyboard, Rapoo has also developed a supporting driver for it. After installing the driver, more hidden skills can be unlocked. The newly designed driver UI has improved a lot in aesthetics, and the hardware and software go hand in hand, which is commendable. Then let’s talk about the function. The function of each button can be customized through the button setting option. The scope of customization includes combination keys, macro functions and basic functions of the Windows system. Of course, this button can also be directly disabled.

In the lighting setting option, you can customize the brightness and flashing speed of the keyboard backlight. In addition, it also provides seven preset lighting effect modes and supports four levels of brightness adjustment. Of course, if you don't like the backlight, you can also turn it off to save power.

In the macro function setting, you can record a section of keyboard and mouse operations, define it as a macro command, and assign the trigger operation to a certain button. For example, gamers can set up one-key combos, and office users can also implement functions similar to PS software batch processing.

All the custom settings of the above-mentioned users can be saved locally, or uploaded to the cloud after logging in to the Rapoo account, which is convenient for reinstalling the system or re-acquiring the previous setting items after changing the computer. In addition, Rapoo will occasionally push firmware updates through the driver.

In the past half a month, I have been using Rapoo MT510 Pro as my main keyboard. After actual experience, it is no problem to meet the needs of daily work and occasional game use. Coupled with its high-value features, it has also attracted the attention of many colleagues. As far as the product itself is concerned, the appearance style is simple and fashionable, and the theme of the sailing diary is more in line with male aesthetics; the metal middle frame is matched with sandblasting oxidation process and CNC cutting, and the details are carefully processed. 75% of the configuration is small and exquisite; it supports three-mode connection, and can connect 5 Equipped with Rapoo's self-developed fast silver switch, the key stroke is short, the trigger force is small, there is no sense of paragraph and knocking sound, and it is suitable for text entry and games. In addition, the beautiful ice blue backlight system and feature-rich drivers also add a lot to its actual experience.

The annual Double 11 Shopping Festival will be ushered in soon. If you want to upgrade your desktop, or want to change to an easy-to-use mechanical keyboard, I strongly recommend this Rapoo MT510 Pro. Miss sister can choose another keyboard. The "Meow Meow Holiday" color scheme!

所谓“分久必合，合久必分”，这句话放到如今的机械轴体上好像也说的通，为了满足用户对极致的追求，比如为了满足游戏玩家而推出的快银轴，为了满足办公码字用户退出的金粉轴；不过有些时候键盘的功能区分没有这么明确，就像上半年在家封闭的时候办公、游戏的界限就变得模糊。也许是为了满足这部分用户的需求，TTC 推出了结合快银、金粉优点的烈焰紫轴&烈焰雪轴，两款轴体的技术参数是一致，区别主要是壳体的颜色。

Because the technical parameters of the two switches are the same, I mainly chose the flame purple switch, and I only got a few less flame snow switches to try.

TTC’s Kuaiyin V2 and Gold Powder V2 have already been experienced. Starting from daily office work, the trigger of the gold powder switch is very gentle, and the rebound is easy to follow. It is not easy to get tired after a long time of coding; but when the interest of the game comes, you can change it at home. It is not very convenient to get on Kuaiyin, so judging from the parameters of the flame purple axis, it still meets my requirements.

Apart from the difference in color between the two switches in appearance, another major difference is the light-transmitting design. The flame purple switch adopts an upgraded condenser lens structure, while the flame snow switch is a common curved lens. According to past experience, the flame purple switch The light effect will be more concentrated.

Except for the difference in color and light-transmitting structure, the other mechanisms of the two shafts are basically the same, and they both adopt the three-legged design commonly used by TTC, so that it will be more adaptable to customized PCB design.

Although the flame purple axis and the flame snow axis are a combination of quick silver and gold powder, they are not a simple addition of the two. It is not difficult to see from the official parameter comparison chart that, except for the slightly longer spring, other key parameters are Comparing the compromise, the actuation pressure of Lieyan Purple and Lieyanxue switches is 42±5gf, the actuation stroke is 1.6±0.3mm, and the total stroke is 3.6±0.3mm. A 23mm single-segment spring is used, and the life of the shaft body is 100 million times.

The bottom shell of the flame purple switch and the flame snow switch is made of PA material, and the switch cover is made of PC material, except that one is color transparent and the other is high transparent, and the center of the switch is made of POK material. At the same time, it adopts a family-style dust-proof wall design, which has the functions of dust-proof and improving stability.

The 23mm single-segment long spring can be distinguished by the naked eye, which can bring fast and powerful rebound.

The shafts of the two shafts have been lengthened. The advantage of this design is faster triggering. In addition, the structure at the bottom of the shaft is optimized to bring clearer sound and a sense of confirmation. At the same time, there are obvious lubrication treatments on both sides of the shaft, and the pressing is smooth without noise.

In addition, the trigger shrapnel and metal ends of the TTC shaft that I have used during this period are more silver-plated to provide anti-oxidation ability and avoid blackening, thereby improving the service life of the shaft and looking more beautiful.

Let’s look at a wave of pictures of the two shafts

This time I used HELLOGANSS HS87T to experience it. This version of HS87T has a middle layer of sound-absorbing sandwich cotton, a sound-absorbing shaft underpad, and a bottom-layer sound-absorbing cotton, which can greatly reduce unnecessary noise.

Although the flame purple axis is enough, but for the experience, the flame snow axis is also installed.

First, let’s take a look at the appearance without the lights on.

Next, turn on the light effect and take a look. The effect of the condenser is still as concentrated as before, the light is brighter and more concentrated, and there is almost no light transmission in other places; because the flame snow shaft is a high-transmission shaft cover, it has extremely strong transmission. Light, the whole axis looks more transparent, but the light is more scattered and naturally it will be less dark (compared to the condenser).

Finally, let’s talk about the actual use experience. Although the stroke is a little longer, the trigger pressure has also been reduced, so the experience of playing games is closer to that of Kuaiyin; Not as strong as the Kuaiyin shaft, but it has a Q-bomb feel; the overall feeling is between Kuaiyin and gold powder. For users who only play games occasionally and need to work more time, the Flame Purple Switch or the Flame Snow Switch is a good choice. It has a gaming experience close to that of Kuaiyin, and it is not too tiring to code for a long time.

If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. As an office worker, he deals with computers every day. If the keyboard is not strong enough, the work efficiency will drop. Everyone knows that mechanical keyboards have always been the favored products of keyboard pursuers. Of course, I am also an old user of mechanical keyboards. I simply bought another one, and after many comparisons, I chose the Heijue AK992 wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard. Here is a usage evaluation for everyone.

From the outer packaging of this keyboard, we can see that the model of this keyboard is AK922, which supports wireless three-mode mechanical keyboard. From the upper left corner, we can see that this keyboard is also a partner of the League of Legends professional youth training base. So I can believe that this keyboard can meet the needs for work or game entertainment. In addition, this keyboard has a numeric keypad. The lack of a keypad on a notebook has always made me more distressed, so this is one of the reasons why I added an external keyboard.

Open the package and you can see the keyboard body. This time I chose the Lanqin-Green switch. Of course, mechanical keyboards can also choose switches. Some manufacturers have price differences between different switches or different colors. This keyboard does not make a price difference on the axis body, which is very good.

In addition, the color of this keyboard can be selected from Ode to Spring, Green Field, Brown Sugar, and Lanqin, and it is divided into white light, RGB light and matte version. Because of the cost relationship between light and light, there is a slight price difference for the backlit version. Having said that, the keyboard of the Lanqin version I chose is a matte version, less than 200, and the original one is white with black fonts on the keys, which can be said to be quite beautiful.

The back of the keyboard is the basic information of the keyboard, but I pay more attention to the overall design of the back of this mechanical keyboard. I can see that the back of this keyboard is designed with a wire harness guide groove, and there are three directions in the left, right, and middle directions. So when you want to use a wired connection, any orientation can meet your needs.

Here I will give you a detailed introduction. I also said that this mechanical keyboard is a three-mode, so the upper left corner of the keyboard is the mode switching function key of this keyboard. You can see that the upward is 2.4G wireless mode, and the downward is BT. (Bluetooth) mode, the middle is the wired mode, the specific wired connection method of this keyboard will be introduced in detail below.

Corresponding to the keyboard's three-mode function, the indicator light is also equipped with three-mode indication and four indicator lights for the number lock. Another thing worth mentioning is the design of the number keypad of this keyboard. I personally hate using a laptop without number keys. keyboard.

Another mode of this keyboard is the receiver mode, which is what we often call wireless mode and 2.4G mode. The 2.4G wireless receiver of this keyboard has a special storage slot, which is quite well designed in mechanical keyboards. Comrades who have lost receivers before should understand.

The bottom gasket of this keyboard is also very well done. You can see from the back view of the keyboard above that there are non-slip rubber pads on all corners of the back of the keyboard. The upper elevation legs of the keyboard are also designed with two positions. You can raise the upper part of the keyboard according to your own needs. In addition, the two tops are also specially pasted with non-slip rubber pads.

Another mode of the keyboard is the wired mode. Here the keyboard uses a Type-C data cable as the wired connection method of the keyboard. When using the wired mode, plug the data cable into the keyboard, and plug the other part into the device that uses the keyboard. It is very convenient to use. If you are careful, you can also see that the data cable of this keyboard is specially made with grooves on both sides of the data cable, so that the data cable can be inserted into the keyboard more stably, and it is not easy to fall off.

This keyboard is worth recommending. There is a scrolling volume control wheel on the upper right corner of the keyboard. Rotate the computer clockwise to increase the computer volume, and counterclockwise to decrease the computer volume. When you need to mute, just press it. Mute and then press to release, very practical and very convenient.

Another design detail is the mode switching button. This button is equipped with a U-shaped groove, so that it is very convenient and labor-saving when we toggle the switching mode.

The indicator light of this keyboard is also very streamlined, there are only three working mode indicators and the number lock switch indicator of the numeric keypad. It is worth mentioning that the location of the indicator light is very ingenious, which saves a lot of space for the keyboard.

The keycaps of this keyboard are designed with two-color injection molded OEM high-level PBT material. The touch is delicate and dry, and it does not fade or oily.

This keyboard comes with some blue keys as a gift. As mentioned above, my keyboard is blue, so other color keyboards also have gift keys to match the color. I also checked other color keyboards on the Internet. Very beautiful, the appearance is full marks for me.

This keyboard also comes with a keycap removal tool, as well as four shafts and shaft removal tools. Everyone can understand here that the shaft of this mechanical keyboard can also be disassembled. When there is a problem with the shaft, you can do it yourself. The replacement is very practical. If you want to experience the feel of other shafts, you can just plug in and replace them.

Everyone is used to the removal of the keycap, and the removal of the shaft body is also an improvement. When the shaft body is broken, or if you feel uncomfortable and want to replace the other shaft body, you can do it yourself. My hobby is DIY.

My original keyboard uses the green switch. The whole feature of the green switch is that the knocking sound is very crisp. I like the sound of typing. Of course, each mechanical keyboard switch has its own characteristics and characteristics, so when buying a mechanical keyboard Get to know first.

summary

In addition to the attractive price, this keyboard also has many advantages such as three-mode, two-color keycaps, volume adjustment knob, and switchable keycaps. It is also worth mentioning that the space utilization rate of this mechanical keyboard is It's really good, in the case of having a numeric keypad, it feels that the keyboard is very small and eliminates the keys we don't often use.

In addition, the office and gaming experience of this keyboard is very good. The gasket structure commonly used on customized keyboards has been transplanted to this keyboard, and the feel is really good. Also, no matter what the scene is, there is no delay when using wireless functions (including Bluetooth and 2.4G). Since then, I have given up the keyboard of my laptop! Recently, friends who are in need of a wireless mechanical keyboard can consider this keyboard, and it will be available for 199. It can be lowered when you are active, and you can squat if you are not in a hurry.
