Light changes and sound display of mechanical keyboard

Introduction

With the popularization of electronic technology products, more and more computer peripherals are emerging in the market, including the popular mechanical keyboard recently. It is believed that many players have used the common membrane keyboard, which is cheap and simple in technology. However, due to its price factors, its performance, feel and life cycle remain at a lower level. The mechanical keyboard uses a separate switch to close each key, which is the "axis" we often hear; There are different types of mechanical keyboards according to different shaft bodies. Some are suitable for typing and office work, while others can better experience games; The price is no longer limited to the expensive position of getting up early. With the continuous development of many domestic manufacturers, their prices are constantly reduced, which also makes the sales of mechanical keyboards in the market continue to rise.

The hoof 612 mechanical keyboard brought to you by today's small editor is a popular mechanical keyboard created by James Donkey with the idea of providing users with better performance and lower price. The appearance design of this keyboard is beautiful and fresh, which can bring users a fresh visual feeling. Its performance also has its own unique highlights. Next, let's have a look at the close experience of the product with Xiaobian.

Open box display

The keyboard is packed in a classic black gift box. Except for the product name and some drawings printed on the surface, there are no other decorations. It also reveals a simple beauty in the mysterious black theme style. When I first came into contact with this brand, I should also mention the 007 mouse, which has a variety of combinations. Since then, Xiaobian has slowly contacted and learned about the mechanical keyboard.

The back of the packaging box is sealed with a yellow self-adhesive paper, on which the manufacturer and address information of the keyboard are introduced; Through this label, we can also see that the mechanical keyboard in Xiaobian's hand is a white green shaft body. The description of various shafts will be introduced in detail later by Xiaobian.

We can't wait to open the outer package to see this white mechanical keyboard lying quietly in the packaging box. In order to prevent collision during transportation, four hard plastic brackets and two shock absorption sponges are used on the left and right sides of the keyboard for fixation. It can be said that the details are well handled. In particular, the weight of the mechanical keyboard is much heavier than that of the ordinary membrane keyboard, and protection work should be done well.

In addition to the keyboard, there is only one instruction card and one riser in the accessories; In itself, keyboard products do not need too many accessories. For 612 hooves, the standard configuration of the riser can serve as a highlight, allowing users to pull out the key cap more easily, and then clean the inside of the keyboard. The function, specification and precautions of the keyboard are described in detail in the instruction card. It is recommended to read carefully to prevent misoperation during use.

The front, side and back of the keyboard are displayed. The shell is made of aluminum alloy and ABS dual color key cap, which improves the appearance of the keyboard; In terms of performance, through the effective control of the green shaft body, it has a good performance in terms of key stroke, touch feel, and knock response speed, so that users can really experience the flexible effect of Papa Papa. In order to better understand the product performance, the main parameters are summarized as follows:

Number of multimedia: 12

Material: aluminum alloy, ABS (key cap is two-color injection molding)

Key: 104 key, full key without impact

Backlight: LED monochrome breathing backlight

Interface: USB

Size: 465 * 150 * 30mm

Weight: 1120 ± 15g

Detail display

The hoof 612 mechanical keyboard adopts the standard 104 key full size design. The white shell and the yellow key letter logo look very neat, revealing a sense of scientific beauty. The weight of the keyboard is heavy, which is much better than the general film keyboard; The overall size is not very large, and it will not take up too much space when placed on a computer desk or office desk.

The silver metal sides on both sides of the keyboard are made of aluminum alloy, which naturally blends with the main body white. In addition, the corners of the frame are folded and streamlined, showing the mechanical style. The logo of the humble donkey is engraved on the frame with laser laser technology, which is very artistic.

The key extractor in the accessory is simple to use, which can facilitate the user to pull out the key cap and clean the keyboard. The drawback is that only the standard letters and function keys can be selected, and the slightly larger key caps such as ALT and FN at the bottom cannot be stuck.

The distance between rows and between keys is relatively loose, not as compact as many membrane keyboards, which allows users to have more space to place and move their fingers when typing or playing games; As a result, the accuracy of keystrokes and the comfort of long-term use have been greatly improved.

Take off a few key caps to clearly see the shaft of the hoof mechanical keyboard. Many children may not be very clear about the difference between the shaft; Here is a brief introduction to two common shafts, green shaft and black shaft. Green axis's mechanical keyboard has a strong sense of paragraph and mechanics, and has a good sense of rhythm when typing; Green axis is the most representative axis in mechanical keyboard. It is more suitable for users who often type. With the mechanical sound, typing can become a pleasure.

The black axis is a keyboard axis that is more suitable for the game. Compared with the green axis, it has no sense of paragraph. The sound is the smallest in the mechanical keyboard, the pressure grams are relatively large, the trigger key range is short, and the rebound process is also very fast. Sudden events in the game can make the players react quickly, and it is the best partner in the game.

The key cap of the keyboard adopts ABS material and two-color injection molding process. The light yellow letter symbol logo echoes with the white keys, especially in the backlight mode; The great advantage of this type of keyboard is its strong and wear-resistant characteristics. Unlike the traditional membrane keyboard, the key cap will be polished and the letters will be erased after a long time.

A support frame with adjustable height is designed on the left and right of the back of the keyboard, which can be adjusted by users according to their actual needs. However, I think that the height adjustment range of the bracket is relatively limited, and I found that the keyboard can not be well supported during actual use; It is recommended to increase the height adjustment and multi angle adjustment functions of the support.

The brand logo of the keyboard and the classic slogan of "never walk alone" are still pasted in the center of the back. The back of the entire keyboard uses a yellow base plate, which has a retro feel.

The four corners are pasted with anti-skid rubber pads, which can keep the keyboard in a stable posture on the desktop and will not slide easily. Xiao Bian is somewhat worried about the way to paste the rubber pad. Will it become loose after a long time? Would it be better to replace it with a built-in mounting structure in the card slot?

The external USB connection cable of the hoof 612 mechanical keyboard uses nylon braided cable, which is also relatively thick, and can effectively prevent damage caused by pulling and increase wear resistance. The small magnetic ring on the cable can effectively prevent high-frequency electromagnetic radiation from generating induction signals on the data line. The length of the cable is 1.8 meters, which is enough for our daily computer desk layout. More conveniently, the hoof 612 is a mechanical keyboard installed with driver free software. It can be used after USB is directly connected.

Use display

The key distance and spacing of keyboard keys are well designed, with strong elastic feedback force; In addition, the arc-shaped structure on the surface of the key cap makes the knocking feel very textured. In addition to the key function of 104 key full-size keyboard, the hoof 612 also adds a combination key to realize multimedia control function; Through various combinations of FN+(F1~F12), you can control various functions such as media player, volume increase and decrease, song switch, calculator call out, open email, lock keyboard, etc., which greatly improves the user's use efficiency.

After the USB cable is connected, the backlight of the keyboard can be turned on. The letter symbol line on the key cap is relatively wide, and with the LED light source at the bottom, the overall light transmission is uniform, without shading deviation; The yellow light also increases the visual softness. The axis backlight of Jian Lv 612 can adjust the brightness through the combination of function keys (FN) and "-,=" in the main keyboard area, and can also enable the breathing mode. The effect at night is very cool.

In the dark environment, the keyboard lights show that not only the letters reflected by the lights on the keycaps are clear, but also there is no excessive light transmission between keys. When used for a long time, there will be no abnormal symptoms in the eyes.

Xiao Bian wanted to further disassemble the keyboard to let you know the structure of the circuit board inside, but there were too many fixing screws on the front of the shoe 612 keyboard, and the key cap needed to be pulled out at one time before disassembly; Because it is a new product, it is inevitable that some will not give up, so it gave up the disassembly part; It can also be seen that the workmanship of this analytical keyboard is extremely exquisite.

Xiao Bian is a game enthusiast. Previously, he only had high requirements for the quality of the mouse, and did not pursue the outstanding performance of the keyboard too much; Although this green axis mechanical keyboard is not specially designed for games, compared with the previous film keyboard, the feeling of playing games is still very HI, especially the sound of popping with each key can inject more passion into the game process.

I played DOTA and CSONLIE for several rounds, mainly testing the direction keys and space keys, but I'm still not used to them; In particular, the wrist is lack of corresponding support structure, and it needs to be placed in the air in many cases. It is recommended that the manufacturer improve this later. The sensitivity of the keyboard is amazing.

Typing is quite handy, but at this time the sound of the mechanical keyboard is not as comfortable as playing games, and there will even be some fidgety feelings for a long time. Especially in the dead of night, the voice is even more harsh. To sum up, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. You should choose according to your actual needs. If you feel that you are not suitable for mechanical sound, you can choose a mechanical keyboard with a black shaft body. The effect will be better.

Comparative display

Next, Xiaobian compares the mechanical keyboard with the traditional membrane keyboard. Of course, the purpose of the comparison is not to distinguish the quality of the products. After all, the prices of the two keyboards are very different. I mainly want to let you know more about the performance characteristics of this hoof 612 mechanical keyboard through comparison; The brand we are comparing this time is the Elf Thunderobot series keyboard. In terms of appearance, the hoof 612 is much smaller, and the number of keys and layout of the two keyboards are basically the same; The difference is that the wizard keyboard places the multimedia function key on the top of the keyboard separately, while the hoof is built in through the combination of keys.

There are also great differences in the design of key caps. The spirit keyboard key caps are small in size and low in height; The hoof mechanical keyboard has a higher key cap and a larger touch area; In the process of use, the touch feel of the latter is stronger, and the return force of keys is also greater.

The difference between the film keyboard and the mechanical keyboard can be seen by taking off part of the key caps of the two keyboards. The former is composed of three conductive films, the upper and lower layers are circuit layers, and the middle layer is insulation layer, so as to realize the control of keys. The mechanical keyboard is separately triggered by closing each key shaft, which makes it more controllable.

The bracket on the back of the keyboard has a better design. There are two layers of brackets with different sizes for overlapping adjustment. Users can choose different height ranges according to their own needs; However, the adjustment bracket of hooves is relatively limited, which has been explained previously.

LED Light contrast. Although the wizard keyboard supports the change and switch of three color light sources, the color saturation and light transmittance of the light source are worse than those of the hoof keyboard; Especially in the light mode, the letter definition on the keys is dazzling, not as clear and soft as the hoof 612 mechanical keyboard. However, the cool three color light mode is quite eye-catching. I hope the hoof mechanical keyboard can also add another color light source mode.

summary

This post about the evaluation of the hoof 612 mechanical keyboard has brought so much to you. Please forgive me for some of the things that may be wrong or not detailed in the article. In general, this mechanical keyboard has been highly praised by the majority of players since its launch due to its fashionable and generous appearance design and crisp and rapid keyboard experience. For users who like mechanical keyboards, this is definitely a product worth considering. However, in the actual experience process, Xiaobian also found several areas that need improvement, and the manufacturer should also consider Xiaobian's suggestions.

1、 The keyboard lacks wrist support design. In the long game and typing process, the semi suspended wrist will feel tired. It is recommended to extend a support structure at the bottom of the keyboard.

2、 The key extractor in the accessory can only pull out the key cap with normal size, and the key with larger size cannot be pulled out well. It is recommended that the key extractor be designed to adjust the locking principle.

3、 Although the monochrome LED light source of the keyboard works well, it is recommended to add a color mode that can be switched and use RGB color LEDs.

4. The support frame on the back of the keyboard is too limited in the height adjustment range. I hope it can expand the adjustment range so that users can have a better experience.
