When talking about Thunderobot, I believe you will think of their game notebooks, but this time I will share with you not the game book, but its latest mechanical keyboard. Friends who love playing games must be familiar with the mechanical keyboard. This time, Raytheon released three versions of this keyboard at one go. The price ranges from high to low: K75 (RGB backlight, green axis, black axis, electroplating key cap), K71 (red and blue backlight, green axis, black axis, electroplating key cap), K70 (red and blue backlight, green axis, black axis, tea axis, and two-color injection molding key cap). This time, I got the K71 with the official price of 399 yuan, which is still my favorite version of Green Axis.
The packaging of Raytheon K71 adopts a double-layer design, the outermost layer is thin kraft paper, and the front is simply printed with the logo of Raytheon. The openings on both sides are sealed with stickers, making the product more secure.
After opening, the inside is the real package. The pure black color matching is very low-key and deep. The back of the keyboard is printed with thumbnails, and all the combined functions are marked, eliminating the trouble of reading the manual. In addition, one of the basic parameters of this keyboard is introduced. Its weight reaches 1367g ± 20g, and it is heavy and has a sense of quality in the hand.
There is nothing to say about accessories, but the manual, warranty card and key puller. However, the protection of the keyboard inside the package is quite good. It is not only covered with plastic protective bags, but also fixed and shockproof with foam pads.
K71 There are many bright spots in the appearance, such as the frosted metal panel and suspended key cap. These 104 standard key caps use electroplated metal key caps, and the silver ones look very textured. Although this kind of key cap has its own characteristics, it has this problem and is very easy to leave fingerprints. After a period of use, the shoes are covered with fingerprints, and the children's shoes with cleanliness addiction may be going crazy.
Because no macro function is added, K71 achieves plug and play, but it also has 12 built-in multimedia function combination keys, which can be realized through simple Fn combination. Although it is less fun, it also makes it easier to get started, and there is no need to download and install drivers.
K71 OEM standard configuration is adopted, so the design of key position will not be introduced too much. Raytheon used the TTC axis this time. Maybe many people have never heard of it, but I found that its hand feel is similar to that of the Kaihua axis.
I have used the Blackjack AK33 for a long time. After using the K71, I obviously feel that the TTC axis is more powerful than the Zorro axis in triggering force, and the rebound speed is also faster and more crisp. To sum up, the TTC axis is hard, while the Zorro axis is soft.
These two keyboards use the satellite axis design on the large key position, which is very stable to use. However, the K71 is much more difficult to remove than the AK33, because its key cap is very tightly connected to the shaft, while the AK33 is very loose, so it can be completely removed without a key puller. The advantage of K71 is that it is relatively stable. The AK33 fell off the table and the key cap was scattered on the ground, which is very embarrassing.
K71 It is the ordinary backlight version. Except for the blue light of the win key and direction key, all other lights are red. Not only is the light color simple, but also the light mode is simple. There are only two modes: constant light and breathing. In the constant light mode, there are ten levels of light brightness that can be adjusted. If you are a player who pursues lighting effects, it is recommended that you choose the RGB version of K75.
In fact, I prefer the shape and workmanship of this keyboard. The gray matte metal panel and the suspended key cap design bring great visual impact, and the highlight chamfer adds a touch of style to it. However, it also has some defects. The transition parts at the four corners are a little uneven. I hope they can be improved in the future.
After all the key caps are removed, it can be seen that the front panel is fixed by 11 screws. However, it is not enough to remove only these screws if you want to disassemble it. There are also 3 screws on the left and right sides of it, and they must be removed together.
The whole disassembly process is still very simple, but it's interesting that I didn't see the fragile label during the whole process. Does this mean that you can disassemble at will and still have warranty? K71 actually has a certain waterproof ability. There are three holes under its bottom plate to let water flow out. On the front of the motherboard, you can also see a layer of plastic film through the space bar.
The Black King Kong logo on the back is also very eye-catching. In order to increase its anti slip ability and improve stability, its bottom has two anti slip mats. There are two folding legs on the top. I am used to lifting the keyboard when I use it, so this is very practical for me. Carry it with you. The dead weight of K71 and the anti slip foot pad make it very stable in use.
After seeing the welding points of the main board upper shaft, I think its workmanship is very good. Basically, all the welding points are very full, and the overall layout is also in good order. The K71 uses SMD LED. In the later stage, if you want to transform the light by yourself, it should not be very convenient, but it should be relatively simple to return the axis. Children's shoes that love to toss and turn can be replaced with some rare axes to try.
During this period of use, K71 gave me a good experience. First of all, its appearance has left a good impression on me. There is nothing wrong with the workmanship except for a small flaw at the border mentioned earlier. Although the TTC axis is relatively unpopular, it still feels very good. However, I haven't used the original shaft, so I haven't compared the feel, but it is better than the Zorro shaft. If you have any regrets, I think it's the lighting and macro settings, but if you care about the lighting, you can choose K75. The price of 399 yuan is not very low, but compared with the original shaft at this price, I think it is very competitive in appearance.
