As a relative newcomer who has just come to Aunt Zhang for several months, I was able to get the opportunity of this new Raytheon keyboard test. I was very careful because I just took a try and took part in this test, of course, the application form. I also filled it with my heart. I didn't expect it to be successful. There was also some pressure for happiness. I wanted to try my best to perfect this report.
My understanding of mechanical keyboards has only been in place for more than a year. I feel that the manufacturers of mechanical keyboards seem to have sprung up suddenly in the last two or three years. In particular, many former manufacturers of computers or computer accessories, such as pirate ships, Cool, and even Chichi, Gigabyte, Kingston, Asus, Lenovo, etc., have launched, launched a number of different price, different types of mechanical keyboard, dazzling. In addition, in addition to a public cherry keyboard mechanical keyboard, a variety of domestic shafts have also appeared, occupying the low-end mechanical keyboard market. I remember that when I bought a mechanical keyboard, I didn't know much about the axis. I entered the Pennefather V500. At that time, it seemed like the cheapest one was more than 100 hundred times faster. This was only a year, and it was about 100 yuan or less. The mechanical keyboards are listed on the market. As the domestic axes are doing better and better, I believe they will occupy half the sky in this industry, just like domestic mobile phones.
The mechanical keyboard for this test is the Raytheon Blue Blood 87-key green axis mechanical keyboard, model K750C. Raytheon this brand is just emerging in recent years to do the game this, behind the Haier injection, the blue sky foundry, and now also ready to share a slice of the peripherals, Raytheon has out before several mechanical keyboard, I remember there is a The money is called Black Diamond and there is a money called White Spirit (whatever this is the name), the same aluminum alloy shell, electroplating keycap, just different colors. This time, Raytheon custom shaft, aluminum alloy base, floating keycap design, RGB backlight, single-button backlight control, blue body and blue electroplating keycap, better waterproof and dustproof performance, is the mechanical keyboard The point of promotion. Next, I will introduce the keyboard from the aspects of unpacking, appearance, keycap and axis body, lighting, disassembling, and using experience. If there is a bad description, please give us more advice. In addition, I only use a small millet 5 to take pictures, it's macro can not, the effect of optical image stabilization is not very good ... I hope we do not Tucao.
One, out of the boxSince he learned that he had successfully applied for public testing, he would look at logistics four or five times a day. This time, SFG was slightly not awesome. It made it on the first evening and went to the urban area at noon the next day. It didn't continue to deliver, and it dragged on for a day until it was delivered at noon on the third day. We did not know why. Because I had bought several mechanical keyboards before, I didn't feel very heavy or very light and normal weight.
When I got the parcel, I saw the tape with Zhang Aunt's characteristics. The “value to†estimate represented many people's voices after they got the courier.
I read many posts elsewhere and said that I hate the kind of person who says a few pages when he opens a box. So I just put the picture on it and I need to talk about what I need to say.
A kraft paper box, a simple Raytheon logo, and a product information label on the side. Later I discovered that the SN code was not only outsourced, but also contained the inner package and the product.
Seals on both sides of the seal are affixed with tamper-evident seals, which will leave a white “VOID†on the box when uncovered, so that it can be easily identified whether it is used or not.
Open the package, there is an inside package, no information on the front and four sides, basically are the logo, I will not ink, and directly on the map.
The back of the rendering and function key identification, in fact, mainly light adjustment shortcuts, as well as vendor information and product information. You can see the specific specifications of this keyboard: 87 keys; measurements (I measured a bit, the height refers to the height of the ESC row of keycaps after opening the bracket); press the button... C-like; key life, 60 million times, in fact, feel now speaking about the key life is meaningless, as long as it is not bad, how many keyboards can use the end of life, but the passage of the green axis will decline over time, so the second-hand green axis It may be difficult to find; there are 12 multimedia buttons on the F1-F12.
Open the box, there is actually a layer of black cardboard lid... It feels really hard to open a box...
Take off the lid and a blue light shines in my eyes. Because the outer layer of a layer of semi-transparent plastic paper, so this blue looks particularly soft and elegant, very in line with my appetite, both sides have a sponge pad fixed, reducing the risk of keyboard impact.
The keyboard is first taken out and put aside to see what else is in the box. A white plastic key puller, a small bag containing a few sheets of paper, took out a look at the warranty card, the manual and the letter to Lei Feng (Ray Raid...).
Summary: The above is out of the box, whether it is Aunt Zhang's packaging or Raytheon's own packaging, are very detailed, the keyboard itself has played a very good protection, so I split the five or six layers to see the positive ... In addition, Raytheon also pays great attention to anti-counterfeiting, whether it is anti-explosive or three-in-one, no matter how effective, at least he did so, and consumers who buy original authentic products should be more at ease.
After some torment, the Lord has finally appeared. The keyboard is called "Blue Blood" and blue is the biggest feature of the appearance. Whether it is the shell or the keycap, even the data line is mainly blue, and it is particularly eye-catching in a relatively single and boring environment in the office. The data line is made of nylon fabric material, which is relatively hard. The gold-plated USB interface, shielded magnetic ring, and tie-wire are all standard, and nothing to say. The color of this line is indeed quite good-looking, if the keyboard is broken, the line can be removed and used on other keyboards. Buying a colored braided thread is expensive.
To get rid of the last veil, I first drew it. The first is that the gloss of the electroplated keycaps is flashed, and the other is that the color of the keycaps is not quite the same as that of the imagination. Before because of the relationship between plastic paper, there is no obvious reflection, the blue is very uniform, after the nude will feel the overall color of the keycap is slightly deeper than the shell, no blue shell looks comfortable.
A recent photo of a keycap is really smooth and reflective. In short, it is not very ugly, but it is not as beautiful as it seems.
Due to the compact and concise design, only the arrow keys above the front of the keyboard have extra space above their own logos and indicators. The color and style of this logo are relatively simple and unobtrusive, merging well with the entire keyboard style. The indicator light is white, consistent with the overall color match.
There is a high-angle chamfer around the keyboard, which adds a noticeable outline to the keyboard. At the same time, this chamfer chamfers away the sharp metal edges, making it smooth without cutting hands. In addition, as can be seen from the following picture, the side of the keyboard is separated from the bottom shell and the upper shell, the joints are slightly jagged, and there is a noticeable sense of fault, but not cut. After all, if the entire bottom surface is pressed out of an aluminum alloy plate, the cost can be even higher.
Both sides are secured with three large screws on the body. The left middle screw is affixed with a fragile sticker.
In front of you, you did not. Through the two pictures, you can see that the keyboard axis body has used a transparent shell under the white, and the large key position has adopted the satellite axis design.
At the top, non-bonded lines are separated. To be honest, I don’t have a lot of cold on the separation of the key lines. First of all, the weight and volume of the keyboard are set there. It is not destined to be a portable product. Besides, the frequency of plugging and unplugging can be frequent and frequent. Worried about the life of the interface.
The bottom, blue and white color is very clean and fresh, the keyboard shell are anodized, do not know this shell color is not solid, may be more resistant to scratch, saying that looks like Raytheon these icons on the back of the keyboard is not the same, Before that Black Diamond was a Tomahawk totem, it was an orangutan head, but this crown is a mean...
The upper bracket is higher than the bottom bracket when the bracket is assembled, so there is a slight angle when the bracket is not opened. The non-slip rubber is used more often and the non-slip effect is good.
The bottom foot and the water hole are close-ups. The bottom two feet are sticky and look awkward. As for the outlet we will say later.
Product information stickers, consistent with internal and external packaging, three yards in one.
After the stand is opened and closed, the height of the keyboard changes quite clearly.
Because it is a half-height bottom shell, the upper part of the entire keyboard is particularly prominent after the bracket is opened. Compared with the full-height shell keyboard on the hand, the height of the highest point of the two keyboards after the bracket is opened is actually the same, but from the visual From the above, Raytheon's keyboard has a higher lift angle and the bottom is vacant too much. Finally, I still give up the bracket.
Summary: The keyboard's material and appearance are introduced here. In general, the material and color of the metal shell are very satisfying. This combination of pure blue and white lettering, brackets, etc. is not so hard, but people feel that Very simple and clean. There is a certain color difference between the keycap and the bottom shell. In addition, the strong mirror reflection and the matte material on the underside produce a sharp contrast. I feel a bit offensive, but the high-angle chamfer in the bottom case makes the two different materials A buffer zone makes the transition less unobtrusive. The six big screws on the side, said to be nice and rough, and not so nice, it's called rough and ugly. I hope Raytheon can come up with a better way to solve it.
The keycap is made of ABS material, and the surface is coated with a layer of metal coat, and the specific process flow is not known. The light transmittance of the keycap is better, but this unclosed font looks uncomfortable... when it comes to perfect fonts.
However, after I unplug the ESC's keycap, I found that the keycap's chrysanthemum is very dirty, and there are many burrs on the inside of the keycap, and it is very uneven. Afterwards, the key caps of other places were pulled out. It was found that there was no such problem and it seemed that this key cap had won.
In addition, most keycaps have the problem of uneven color on the right side, with the appearance of uneven rough plating surface, as shown in the figure below, which is a very common problem.
In addition, although the official promotion of the plating surface has many drawbacks, more unique, not oil, but actually used, it is simply an oversized fingerprint collector. The following two figures are the pictures I used for half an hour and after I had used one afternoon. I am not a sulfuric acid hand myself. This fingerprint is so frightening that I feel no better than the oil. In addition, the keycap is very smooth when touched, and it becomes creamy after being contaminated with the fingerprint. Compared to the ABS keycap coated with a skin-like coating on the surface, it feels worse than ten streets.
Also, if you have a light source in front of your keyboard, such as a desk lamp, the reflection of the keycap at a certain angle can be very touching... So you can't switch on the backlight during the day and it doesn't make a big difference.
Remove the keycap and let us look at the shaft. Thor's several keyboards so far have not used the existing common axes, such as Kaihua, Jiadalu, and Gott, not to mention the cherry. Earlier versions used TTC custom mechanical axes. There is not much known about this TTC company, and the contents found on the Internet are also relatively limited. I actually saw the micro-motion of this production on a domestic mouse that I bought before; Raytheon's customized TR axis is used. It is not clear who the foundry is. The network transmission is still TTC.
Shaft body close-up, you can see that the axis is different from the general axis is two sides of the shape of the baffle, manufacturers advertise that this design can be better dustproof and waterproof, pressing down when the axis is still Close to the upper shell, reducing the chance of dust entering the inside of the shaft, this design is similar to the one you saw before, the Kelvin dust shaft is similar to the design, but Kaihua that surrounded by a layer of baffle on all sides , more complete than this. The advantage of this large axis is that it is relatively stable. After the keycap is mounted, the shaking is relatively small. At the same time, due to some friction with the upper shaft shell, the pressing will be slightly heavier than the ordinary blue shaft. Will speak.
As mentioned before, although the trigger pressure for the design is the same as that of cherry blue, the hand used by the user still feels slightly heavier than the cherry, and the relative sound is not crispy with cherry, but it is lighter than the green axis of the G axis. It's not too hard to play the word. But this big key bit of my hand feels like I have to spit it out in real time. The blank space is still used in the past, but the ok and backspace keys I use often feel bad. The specific performance is meat, very fleshy, and very boring. Do not say that compared with other small keys, just as compared to the left and right shift, the feeling is not a mother, and each time I press it will let me have an illusion that I am not pressing the wrong keyboard.
Summary: From my use of the past few days, the performance of the shaft is still acceptable. It may also be the reason why I use the green shaft for a short time. This keyboard is slightly different from the style of the cherry. There is no Essential quality problems, but the big keys feel bad. In addition, although the keycap is a show, it is a large-scale fingerprint collector, and the reflection is quite serious. I still decided to put on a black or white PBT keycap for a while.
Fourth, light As a light pollution lover, the RGB lights of this keyboard are very attractive to me. The price of cherry RGB was prohibitive for me. I couldn’t do it with two thirds of a month's living expenses to buy a keyboard. This time I was fortunate enough to get an RGB keyboard, so naturally I have to study it.
The RGB light is equipped with a transparent shaft cover, which makes the light scattered more evenly without glare. The light spills out from between the keycaps. With the high reflection of the keycap, it is particularly fantastic in a dark environment.
Turning on the self-determination mode, looking through the cracks in each row of keycaps, you will find a different world (forgive me for being bored with three pictures).
Comparing with my own XD60, I can see that the light spills are very powerful, and the same color is connected. Of course, this kind of big-colored model looks pretty, if the colors are constantly beating, it will look very cluttered. If you have children's shoes to buy this keyboard, you can try the "digital era" of light effects, that is, a variety of different The colors appear randomly and are disorderly.
A few days ago I reluctantly bought a G502 RGB. The feeling in my hand is not the same.
Night is the world of RGB, the gospel of light pollution lovers.
A variety of preset lighting effects have been listed in the manual. When I see this inexplicable adjective, I'm almost forced. The keyboard factory actually comes with 18 preset lighting effects, and each lamp The effect can change the color and flow direction ... will play.
In fact, it is said that it still can not escape the kinds of tricks, the third line of the three is rather novel, what Dapeng wings, thick and thin, digital age...
In addition, this keyboard also has a publicity point is a single key independent lighting, and do not need to drive settings, the keyboard itself can be set independently for each button color settings ... This idea is also wayward. The specific flowsheets were also written, I personally feel a little troublesome, and there are only eight kinds of adjustable colors.
After that, I went to the official website to find out about the driver. It did have it, but it was very basic and the function was very simple. The following is the main interface of the driver. Only the lights can be adjusted.
There are several kinds of lighting effects preset in the manual, all of which are available. The last item refers to the country's single-button monochrome. Only when this item is selected, the rendering on the right has an effect. The rest is Furnishings...
Single lighting this item is also preset a few options, such as MOBA, FPS, etc. The first picture below is the custom lighting effect that I made when I studied before. It can be seen that the so-called lighting diagram is just to draw a box with the corresponding color on each key... After selecting the color, click the corresponding button, and the backlight of that button becomes the color of your choice.
After experimenting with different lighting effects, I silently retuned the default lighting effect. The other ones were either too much to kill Matt, or all sorts of dazzling colors, and the colors were so messy that I ended up giving up.
Summary: I feel that Ray's RGB lighting effects to the keyboard to the extreme, not only refers to the own more than a dozen kinds of lighting effects, but also get rid of the shackles of the drive, you can set a single key on the keyboard color. But on the other hand, there are too many presets. If you want to find one that you like or test one by one, or look at the manual, the single lighting method is really troublesome and requires a certain amount of learning costs. Instead, it is more convenient and quick to drive adjustments. And intuitive. However, this driver is only in a very preliminary stage. The interface is ugly and the function is simple. Hopefully, Raytheon can find more gameplay on it.
V. Dismantling For new things, not only the keyboard, I can not bear to split, only wait for a long time, feel indifferent when it began to tear down. However, in order to write the report, he still had to take down the keyboard.
There is a keyboard-like disassembly chart on the Internet, so the process is not too much trouble. The first step is to start with the three large screws on the side. This fragile sticker was rather solid and I wanted to squat down. Later, I couldn't come down for a long time and I had to go straight to the barrel.
After the three screws are finished, the side baffle naturally falls off, and there are no other fixed places.
When both sides are removed, the surface gloss is slightly different when viewed with the naked eye. There is a fragile sticker that looks more delicate on the matte side, and the other side is more rough and feels no different. I don't know what it is. Reason, the picture may not be very clear.
The front was actually mad at the 11 screws, which made me easy to find. There are only three rows in the second row. The backside of the confirmation key is the location of the master and data cable connectors.
The specifications of the screws are different. The two screws on the lower left and right corners are longer, so I place the screws on the keyboard.
Remove all the front and side screws, the front panel can be removed, connected with the PCB, the bottom is not directly fixed on the aluminum alloy shell, but there is a layer of black plastic plate, a very large number of feet, for Fix the PCB.
Date printed on the PCB, August 20, is very fresh. In addition, you can see that the backlight is patch RGB lights, the axis is a tripod, solder joints full of soldering feet, PCB does not leave any traces of unknown liquid, very clean, very comfortable to look at. The resistance is pin resistance. It is estimated that it is better to solder than the chip resistance.
The main control and wiring head of the keyboard, I know nothing about the circuit, did not solder the master control and the like, the plug is used 5p.
The master model has an unknown solid above it.
Look at the housing again. The three screws at the bottom are used to fix the stand.
These screws look to the side with a size. After removal, the bottom bracket can be removed. At the same time, the black base plate and the aluminum alloy housing are also fixed together by these screws.
Between the two is a pull-type structure, which is very stable in the vertical direction, but loose in the horizontal direction. When it is slightly tilted, it will slide straight out.
To Zhang Quanfu
The side of the metal shell, thickness can be, there is no vernier caliper, had to use a common ruler about a bit, the bottom thickness is about 2mm, two sides thicker.
The two side baffles are about 3.5mm thick and heavy.
The positioning plate on the top is relatively thin. This is no way. After all, the axis is there.
Regardless of whether this keyboard is a PCB or a shell, the workmanship and materials used are satisfactory, except for fear of the solidity of the color. Although I wouldn't even bump into it, I've tossed it so hard that the two sides of the bezel's sharp corners have faded.
Summary: The entire keyboard works well, the structure is solid, the shell is also no glitches and cut the place, the unique luster and touch of the metal, I know this is the keyboard in addition to the largest addition to the lamp points. The PCB board is clean and tidy, and the solder joints on the shafts are also very full. In short, the internal work of this keyboard is reassuring.
But after some dismantling, I still did not find where the so-called excellent waterproof and dustproof performance is embodied in the structure. The bottom outlet is only a simple three holes. I do not know the good dustproof and waterproof ability he promotes. What is the meaning of the index? Even if it is a redesigned axis, I think there is no obvious improvement in dustproofness and waterproofness. I hope that I can understand my friends.
Sixth, use experienceSo much to say, the keyboard is always for use. The common usage scenario is nothing more than office and games. In the days of the National Day holiday, for the dead house where my female ticket is not around, the office and dormitory are for me. The only destination. A few days before I took it back, I used it in the office and compared it with the Zahman cherry red-shaft keyboard that I bought in the office.
Do not say anything else, just look at the appearance, it is simply a demon goods, a pure and unpretentious. Such a bright show must not be used in the office, and the blue axis is noisy. Fortunately, there are not many people in the office on holiday.
As I mentioned before, the keyboard's green axis feels slightly heavier. When typing, the sound is not as crisp as the previous cherry, but it's just a matter of style, not quality, and it doesn't affect use at all. And the axis body is not stuck, the keycap is less swaying, and the feel is quite first-rate, except for the two big keys mentioned earlier. Nothing comparable to the red axis. I now use this cherry red keyboard feel soft, abnormal smooth, but this keyboard has a steel plate, the bottom of the button will be relatively hard, people kind of stop feeling.
Since there are RGB lights, it must be more coquettish at night. So I moved back to the dormitory at night and compared it with my previous group's XD60 steel-free tea axis. It's seen that the 60 is more compact and refined.
To two DNF, the operation of this game basically all rely on the keyboard, just two days of professional awakening, play a black pressure stunned. This keyboard is default full key no punch, no other options. I did not understand before that usually is the x key no red, and then give a shortcut key can be set to full key no red approach is why, you directly engage in a full-key no red is not it? The feel is the same as when I was using cherry green, because of the sense of passage and the longer trigger key range, the game is not very handy and a bit unfavorable. Because the steel-free tea on the hand is not positioned on the positioning plate, the sense of the passage of the tea axis is further weakened, and the feeling turns to the black axis, and the game is naturally refreshing, but... I obviously want the axis of the tea. Feel.
However, I haven’t finished a picture yet... You are afraid of scaring words, spicy chicken game....
Summary: Green axis keyboard is really cool to stop typing, crisp and clear paragraphs, let you enjoy the fun of the input, but too loud noise makes the use of the keyboard of the blue axis become very embarrassing, oneself Of course, you can think of how heaven can be, but if it is in the office, in the bedroom, this kind of people need more quiet places, the green axis is a little disturbing, so I used a keyboard on the blue axis for a period of time and finally out of the . In terms of games, I think the green axis is not suitable for games that require fast operation. Of course, some people like to play games with the blue axis keyboard, such as a game anchor that I watched at the b station, and the keyboard beats.
to sum upFirst list the advantages and disadvantages I found:
advantage:
Anodized aluminum alloy shell force high, feel good, color pleasing to the eye, the whole body including the bracket and other work fine, thick material, no shaking, most of the different components are fixed with screws, layers interlocking. The entire bottom shell has no burrs, including the inner PCB and the plastic brackets are treated very well on the surface and all around, where there is no hand cut, the high-angle chamfers around the shell both lighten the outline of the keyboard, and soften the keycap and the bottom shell Two different styles of visual conflict;
Plating key caps forced higher, but to a certain extent, but a little bit to kill the feeling of Matt, clear font printing, burrs and nozzles are few, work better;
Full PCB solder joints, no welding, patch LED and neatly arranged resistors, PCB back is very clean, no stains, internal work makes people feel relieved;
Raytheon custom TR green axis, feel crisp, small key position rebound is also very rapid, no smell axis, licking axis, axis shake is small, full key no rush, regardless of typing or games can be competent, bottom RGB light transmission Well, the transparent shaft cover also helps to scatter the backlight;
Onboard a variety of RGB lighting effects, you think of the basic are, you did not expect there are many, crazy cool hanging days, do not need to drive can be set, including single-button monochrome.
insufficient:
After the bracket is opened, the bottom of the bracket is vacant, which makes people think that the keyboard is too high and not solid;
Electroplated keycaps are heavily reflective. During the daytime, the reflection of the keycaps even overshadow the backlight of the keyboard itself. So even if you open RGB during the day, it doesn't make much sense. Because you can't see clearly, you can see clearly at night, but who can see at night? Get coquettish blue plating? So I personally think that either change the reflective keycap, or design the backlight into pure white, and the brightness is higher, now this bright blue is not suitable for RGB backlight. And it is easy to be contaminated with fingerprints, and it is not easy to take care of it.
The baffle treatment on both sides of the keyboard shell is too rough, including the exposed screws, and the joints between the two baffles and the bottom shell are not neat;
The firmness of the aluminum alloy is unknown. At least after I dismantled it, some sharp corners have been worn out and faded. In addition, the aluminum alloy is soft overall. Although the keyboard shell does not touch under normal circumstances, if the desktop has What foreign objects may scratch or fade?
RGB backlight is a big problem. The original design of this keyboard is very good. We want users to recall their favorite lighting effects directly on the keyboard. However, the cost of learning will undoubtedly become even greater. Preset 18 kinds of lighting effects, and each lighting effect can also adjust the speed and color separately, even a single button custom lighting can also be done directly through the keyboard, have to admire people on the lamp this Ray really will play, but this Too much trouble, I still look at the instructions step by step to learn a single-button monochrome setting method. The driver is also very basic and simple, but this is a good way for the consumer to adjust the backlight more easily and quickly;
Green axis noisy, of course, this is not a drawback, the green axis is not noisy also called the blue axis, the overall adjustment is very good, but the big key is too fleshy, especially the backspace and confirm the two keys, the meat can not;
In general, Raytheon's keyboard is full of sincerity, the shell, keycaps, are very prominent personality, color is also very bright and bright, high recognition, people can not forget to see at a glance, work is not bad The most important thing is the keyboard's core - the mechanical axis. This thing feels that it is a pass. As for durability, it is not the result that can be obtained in a short time. After all, Raytheon has not had several keyboards, and this TR axis is also just Out, there may be little experience accumulated, and some keys still need to be tuned to get a more perfect feel. I really sincerely hope that the domestic axis and the domestic keyboard can catch up in this one, and that those big-name keyboards will not be beautiful enough. After all, it is the consumers who finally benefit.
However, on the other hand, the keyboard lacks a sense of design in addition to the color, and it is not fine. When you look at it, you have the feeling of watching the millet 3 and have your own style, but it is rough. After all, the keyboard is not only used for , or use to see, a good keyboard is even used to appreciate, Raytheon is far from this level of difference. Finally, I sincerely hope that Raytheon can go further on the mechanical keyboard.
the above.
