First of all, thanks to the computer trial platform and the provider Rado Rantopad! It is said that the horse should be equipped with a saddle, and the computer should also be equipped with a good mechanical keyboard. This trial product is Radium MXX Cherry Shaft Mechanical Keyboard [Red Shaft]

Unpacking

The outer package of the Raeto MXX cherry shaft mechanical keyboard is a black cardboard box, with the English logo of Raeto printed on the left side, the English words of the MXX cherry shaft mechanical keyboard, and the red axis logo printed on the lower right side. Of course, there is also the LOGO of our big Lei Feng computer trial platform on the front.

The overall package is mainly black, with red font as the foil, simple and comfortable, without too many complicated decorative patterns.

The contents on the reverse side of the package are relatively rich, including keyboard outline drawing, keyboard technical specifications described in four languages, and parameters such as items in the package, size and weight.

After opening the package on the side, I can see the keyboard wrapped in a dust-proof cloth bag, waiting for me to take out all the items in the package. The all black dust-proof cloth bag is printed with the words of Radium LOGO and MXX. The fabric feels smooth and draping.

The package includes Radium MXX cherry shaft mechanical keyboard body, separate gold plated magnetic ring USB cable, portable dust-proof cloth bag, acrylic key puller, fluorescent yellow binding tape, and product user guide.

The equipped key puller is slightly sharp, and the key cap was scratched during the test.

Getting Started

Appearance

This time, it was Cool Black, which is described as "beautiful" in two words. The 5000 series magnesium aluminum alloy panel has been anodized and fine wire drawing process. It has a faint metallic luster. Coupled with a black key cap, it has a beautiful appearance.

87 key design, only the keyboard area function area, there is no standard keyboard keypad. Usually, I used to use 104 key. I just need to get used to it. Moreover, this model is full of health without impact, and pressing the 87 key at the same time will not cause conflict.

A metal nameplate is inlaid at the 70 degree bend on both sides of the keyboard, which is displayed in the form of Raoto English LOGO relief.

Both sides of the back of the keyboard are equipped with rubber anti slip strips to make the keyboard more stable when placed on the desktop. The official propaganda is that the table can remain still even on a 45 degree tilt.

Design

MXX adopts a hollow backplane design, which reduces the weight of the keyboard itself. The main body of the keyboard weighs about 690g, which is only a little heavier than a bottle of pulsation. This design is not only beautiful but also practical.

The key line separation design is convenient to carry the keyboard when going out. Guide slot is added to the keyboard socket to facilitate rapid blind insertion. The USB interface adopts a gold-plated design to prevent rust and ensure smooth contact at all times.

[Light effect]

The Rado MXX cherry shaft mechanical keyboard has 6 kinds of fresh light modes and user-defined light modes.

1. Wave (default): The light flows like a wave from left to right.

2. Ripple: The backlight is completely off, press any key, and the light spreads around the center of pressing the key.

3. Breathing: Backlight breathing.

4. Follow: The backlight is completely off, press any key, and the pressed key will light up and go out slowly.

5. Six grid: The backlight is fully lit. Press any key, and the brightness of the pressed key and the keys in the surrounding six grid area will become 20% of the current brightness.

6. Always on: the backlight is always on.

If you don't like these, this keyboard can also customize the backlight mode. Personally, I prefer to follow the mode, which can save a little bit and also pretend to be forced. If the backlight is not needed, turn the brightness to the lowest, and then the backlight can be turned off.

Details

[Red Axis]

The Rado MXX cherry shaft mechanical keyboard I received is a red shaft. The pressure of the red axis is only 45g, so it feels light. The red axis is a straight up and down axis. Once pressed to the end, there is basically no sense of paragraph.

The obvious sense of paragraph is the green axis. Each stroke is like pressing the switch, accompanied by a clear and loud "click" sound, with a strong sense of rhythm. But it is not very popular in the office because it is too noisy. The low-key red axis is to enjoy yourself without affecting others, win win.

[Key cap]

Common key caps are ABS, POM and PBT. ABS is the most common, POM is slightly better than ABS, while PBT has high quality and high price. The key cap of Rado keyboard is made of ABS material. Although the disadvantage of this material is that it will be oiled after being used for a long time. However, Rado has also adopted its fourth generation skin like coating technology on the key cap, which requires 12 layers of spraying. In addition to the skin like touch, the oil resistance has also been improved. The official promotion is that it has reached 6H scratch resistance, which needs to be tested for a long time.

[USB cable]

The outer layer of the 1.8m connecting wire has been woven, which is soft and strong, moderate in thickness, not easy to tie, and has strong tensile strength.

Feeling

The touch of the Rado MXX mechanical keyboard is really good, and it really feels like you can't stop writing every word. When you hit the keyboard with your fingers, it will give you a quick feedback, that is, the knocking sound. When it is combined with your knocking action, it feels like music flowing under your fingertips, just like playing the piano. Using such a keyboard code can continuously bring you a sense of pleasure.

When typing with this mechanical keyboard, the hand speed is fast enough to fly, and the mood is much better immediately. It is also better to use a wooden hand support, which will make the wrist more comfortable. For those who want to buy a mechanical keyboard, Rado MXX is the first one!
