Legendary artifacts: 2/4, inadvertently collected several mechanical keyboards


At the beginning of the purchase of the mechanical keyboard, I did not know about the “four artifacts” that had been circulated. The impression was that at the time, only the cherry was concerned and the others did not. Because the usual use frequency is not high, so after buying the iMac, has been using the built-in Bluetooth keyboard, the words began to feel that the keyboard is still good, the appearance is good, the design is also good, especially the laser engraving power indicator, considered the year A feature of apple

Coupled with good-looking fonts, reasonable layouts, convenient shortcuts, and not a moment to want to replace.


Also, there weren't many Mac-compatible keyboards at the time, and there were few membrane keyboards, let alone a mechanical keyboard. Used to iMac, like the feeling of only one line on the table, in addition to the power cord, the rest of the equipment is wireless, use it very comfortable, and when the mechanical keyboard is basically all cable......

Afterwards, the mechanical keyboard gradually became more and more, and there was no in-depth understanding. Even if it was purchased, I could buy a cheap cherry keyboard... But, "@qtazure" told me that he had 3494 in his collection...

Click to see who qtazure is.

I was reminded of this curiosity and wanted to see if this expensive and retro-looking keyboard was so special... So one day, I didn't know why... I got a coupon for Jingdongli, so I A single 3494 was placed on the list... White was chosen because of the PBT keycap, although individuals prefer darker things.

So, my first mechanical keyboard appeared!

Cherry G80-3494

After opening the box, the moment to get started, it completely likes the delicate feel of PBT, smooth surface, feels very good, typing is not procrastination, individuals do not like skin-like surface, feel more sticky, PBT is extremely dry and has a good mood. It is a tool that can bring joy to people.

I couldn't help reminding me of IBM in the early years. I had an IBM 200X laptop accidentally during my school days. Although the performance was poor, the design of the body was really first-rate. The solid overall feeling was experienced in other laptops. Less than that. It is worth mentioning that its keyboard, in theory, as a notebook membrane keyboard, will not have any feelings, but 200X do, stronger than all laptop keyboards, stronger than most desktop keyboards, this is not an exaggeration, 200X key process, bottom out feedback, people feel that this is the keyboard, run out of this, other brands of notebooks really can not be used, every day on the Internet, typing, are very easy.

I'm accustomed to the tools in my hand, and I've bought them a little better. A good tool is a work of art.

Fortunately, the 3494 brought me this feeling, and the red axis received no problem. Individuals liked this kind of rapid reaction setting. After arriving, typing, playing games was very good. In order to experience the keyboard, the World of Warcraft was deliberately downloaded. "...


It can be said that the red axis is really suitable for playing games!

Due to the need for repeated keystrokes, this soft, no-paragraph feeling is too convenient, can be quickly triggered, and the skills can be used to say...

On the table is this... Appearance, acceptable, not as good as the Mac comes with a keyboard, but it will not be very abrupt, that is 21.5 iMac looks so small......


As for what to say... There are still some.

1. Some Mac shortcuts cannot be used, the only one that can be used is the screen brightness adjustment, the rest of the volume, lock screen, shut down, can not be used. Always curious, why not cherry for Mac version...

2. When it comes to the Mac version, I lost the Win key and the Alt key and use it as the Command key and the Option key. It doesn't work for the Mac version...

3. Not Bluetooth, that line is still out of the question, why not cherry out of the Mac version ... No, Bluetooth version.

Cables are always annoying, and so are headphones...

In addition to those three points, other performance is satisfactory. As for the use of the Command and Option, this is no problem. After the keycap is off, you can set the mapping in the system. The habit of using Mac does not need to be changed. Then press.

This setting will do.


So, the next thing is... I want to find a keycap with the Command key.

However, the keycap was not found. It was actually the DSA GMK WASD and other information...


Philco (FILCO) FKBC87M/EFB2 side engraved black shaft

The convenience of Bluetooth is always haunting... so one day, I don’t know why I’ve got another coupon, and Filco’s dual-mode has arrived...

Choosing the black axis is entirely curious. The 3494's big key is more boring, and the rebound is not enough. I think the black axis is very elastic. Will it be better? With the addition of a cap liked by no time, so when choosing Filco, choose the sidecut, after all, it is still very smooth.


After the arrival, there was no disappointment. A few keystrokes were pressed at random. A tight feeling spread between the fingers. It was like a precision machine without any gaps. It was a kind of ignorance, a solid bottom, and a strong rebound. In a state of tightness, you can enter the battle at random... It is estimated that you will be very passionate about using it all.

Then try the big button, this is completely subverted, feel too good, and even people think little difference between small keys, rebound without delay, quickly and powerful ... and 3494 of the two buttons sound It is completely different and the touch is not the same.

It looks like this.


It's not even a match... but there's no longer a line, Bluetooth is so convenient!

The next time, the use of this keyboard as the main, and the most important, but also the pursuit of everyone, is its feel, down a period of time, but also have a more intuitive experience, the black axis is still more tired than the red axis Some of it.

When the time of daily use grows, typing again is basically suspended. It is not the control of oneself but it is not so deep. Although it is rumored that the black axis should have been typed this way, there are times when it is quite like that it is not necessary to control the tactile sensation.

Personally, the black shaft is like a shock absorber. Once it is pressed more than half, the resistance becomes greater. When you start using it everyday, it's easy to press it. When the fingers are tired, they are unwilling to press down. Each time they press, they fight the resistance in the latter half of the day...

After a period of time, another problem has arisen, that is, the bottom is too hard ... ... touched the plate without any resistance, the fingers will feel a sudden stagnation, a large counter force back to the fingertips. With a long time the fingers will still be a little tired. This point, for the axis without paragraph feeling, or 3494 feel better, no steel design, the finger is not so hard to touch the bottom, the impact of the finger is also smaller.

There is also an important point, the feel of the keycap, Filco's keyboard is exquisite workmanship, light weight, knocking feel good, but this coated keycap personally do not like it. At first it feels good, but when you play the game for a while, you will feel sticky and cool, plus the resistance of the second half of the black shaft. It is not comfortable to use 3494.

The influence of the keycap's opponent feeling is very large, which is described separately later.

At this time... Curiosity is coming again, what exactly does Filco Shaw feel? ?

Selling F black naturally, suddenly one day, I don't know why there is another coupon, so Filco tea comes to hand.

Philco (FILCO) FKBC87M/EFB2 side engraving tea shaft



It looks no different than before...

Tea Axis feel

The word is completely different! The tea axis is much lighter, and it's really easy to play words. When you type quickly, there is a brief stretch in the middle for you, and it's not easy to feel it. It's just that elasticity, which resolves the bluntness of the bottom of your finger. Feel light and feedback, make people feel the trigger point, but will not have too much interference with the fingers, there will be no iron impact on the feeling of the fingers.

When you slowly press down, the sense of the passage will be obvious, and the feedback will be more obvious. This is beneficial for pressing less operations, knowing that you haven’t pressed it yet.

To be fair, this paragraph feels like playing “World of Warcraft” games, the feel is worse, not as good as the red axis, continuous buttons, it is not so fast as the red axis, there is always a paragraph in the middle card.

However, this is not a big problem. It may be that he already owns 3494. For the poorly-feeling tea shaft, he can still accept it. He likes it very much. Playing the game is not too much of a problem. After all, it is much easier than the black shaft. Is it fun to use the film before?

In addition, the tea shaft is really not the same as the film. This is a completely different kind of hand. No matter how advanced the film is, even the once-favorite high-end keyboard on the IBM server that everyone likes can't give the feel of the tea shaft. The physical structure of the rubber cannot be made of metal.

compatibility

Now using the tea shaft every day, I feel very good, this keyboard should not be sold in a short time, because the compatibility of the Mac is very good, I think with the Mac's wireless mechanical keyboard, dual-mode Filco is currently the best choice The estimate is also the only option.

1. Most of the shortcut keys can be used, multimedia volume adjustment, screen brightness adjustment, lock screen, shutdown, can be achieved, but these operations need to use with Fn key, and Mac native keyboard ratio, just press a key to use With these features, I think there is nothing to be picky about, and there are no problems after being proficient.

2. Dual mode This method is very convenient, usually with Bluetooth, if there is a setup system, you need to boot, if Bluetooth can not connect, you can still use the USB cable, this is more convenient than other simple Bluetooth keyboard , I have encountered a new installation system, third-party keyboard does not support, had to pull out of the original keyboard to carry out the problem ... In addition, many third-party Bluetooth keyboard reset key is too easy to touch, no matter you have to re Pairing is also tiring. Filco's keys are hidden and the fingers won't touch them at all.

3. As for some keyboard Bluetooth pairing failure, can not be re-paired, but also have to turn the native keyboard, there is a certain probability of happening ... ... can be said that many people have to retain a wired keyboard in order to deal with reinstall the system, etc. Had used the Filco dual mode, these troubles were gone.

As for the Bluetooth keyboard game, I currently play "October World" this level of operation of the game, without any discomfort, do not feel any delay, of course, does not rule out some of the keyboard response to the high requirements of the game is not suitable for use this keyboard.

In summary, such a good-looking, easy-to-use, feel-good, good-quality, high-playability, very convenient, and fully compatible with Mac and PC, in addition to Filco dual-mode?

Sleep problem

Filco goes into hibernation when it is not used for 30 minutes, disconnects, and needs to press any key to reconnect (where is any key?). This setting is totally different from Apple's native keyboard. Apple keyboard Should be always connected, can be used directly every day to boot, use is very convenient, of course, the drawback is very expensive electricity, the use of rechargeable batteries, can only be used for several months.

Filco is still very durable, small tips: try not to use alkaline batteries, the leak is finished ...

About keycaps

As mentioned before, buying a 3494 is a key to changing the keycap, especially with Mac's several special keys. This is really difficult to find the right one.

The Alt key swap can't change the visually unpleasant facts... Fortunately, the 3494 key's feel is really good, it feels very comfortable, and it doesn't matter.

Clean, but also a few days of wallpaper it ... ...


Later, after entering the Filco black shaft, the sticky skin-like coating was a bit unbearable, and the need for key caps was even stronger!

It's not that Filco's hand feels bad. On the contrary, Filco's lightweight ABS keycap has a very good typing effect. Its keycap is very thin and very light, and it strikes it crisp. If you use thickened PBT keycaps, it will become very boring and feel completely different. In addition, many PBTs are too rough and handy, and their hand feels worse. This is also why some people say that PBT does not feel like ABS.

What I don't like is just the feeling of Filco's touch. It's a feeling of touch, not a percussion. Good touch can be solved by purchasing a PBT keycap.

It is worth mentioning that why the 3494 feels good?

It can be seen that the 3494's PBT is very thin, just a little bit thicker than the edge of Filco's ABS key cap, so the overall weight will drop a lot, and the impact on the percussion will also become smaller.


Another point is that the 3494's keycaps are very delicate, the matte particles are very slight, they feel smooth, they do not scratch, and they are still rounded.

It is the lightweight and delicate surface treatment that gives the 3494 an extraordinary touch and achieves a balance between tactile sensation and percussion. Personal feeling in the PBT, 3494 comes with this set of GMK keycaps and SP production DSA ball cap, feel is the best.

Casual reading

# The original innovator # on the mechanical keyboard and the key caps of those things mixed in Aunt Zhang for many years, we all know more or less the mechanical keyboard "can never go back once" attributes. Not only that, but many of my friends, like me, have unfortunately further fallen into the deep hole of the keycap after entering the mechanical keyboard. Shortly after the fever had disappeared, I decided to write a summary of the complete experience of using the keyboard and keycaps. Today let us review the story about burning the keyboard and the keycap. The four shots with their own hands are said to be worth it. | Likes 179 Comments 247 Collections 872 View Details

So also sprouted their own thoughts of buying DSA ball caps, ranging from buy, after all, in the foreseeable future.

So head straight to the DSA Granite Granite Set!

Of course not unexpected...

In desperation, decided to purchase a set of play, then find the "DSA Sublimated Keycap Sets", this SP's basic set, custom options are very rich, you can freely match colors, and even can match their own granite color, in addition to not Blue carriage return and red ESC. However, my heart is still not forgetting about granite, and I resist the lack of self-cooperation with granite. I just chose the initial color scheme on the site, white WFJ, and blue BDJ. Even the white color is to deliberately avoid the light gray color of granite. Can buy granite.

Next is a long wait, during this period, every day will use mobile phones to refresh the purchase page of granite, every day is no stock, has long heard that granite is not good to buy, did not expect such a strenuous effort.

It refreshes a dozen times a day, and lasts for a few days.....it happens to refresh, and when you add a shopping cart, you actually add the "Common Kit" part!

Excited in my heart, and even suspected that it is the reason for the network, after all, this foreign website is not very smooth to visit, and sometimes inventory can not be refreshed.

Quickly click on the payment order, did not want to really deduct the success. Go to refresh the purchase page and find that it is still out of stock...

No, it's only a purchase. Until the time of delivery, it was suspected that something was wrong...

Two weeks later ... "DSA Sublimated Keycap Sets" arrived.


What are you waiting for? Since mentioning the courier, the first time to go home to install!

DSA ball cap really deserved reputation, excellent workmanship, good touch, mold fineness, when the installation of the keycap does not appear too loose or too tight. Although the process behind the process due to the reasons, there is no GMK's exquisite, but no harmless, saying that GMK's two-color molding keycap, turned over is not quite ugly? The SP thing, compared to GMK, feels a bit rough, like most American goods, but it's not inferior.

The positioning key is called "deep dish". The shape is different from other buttons and it is well recognized. There is no problem with blind typing.


The final result is that the white is white, contrasting with light blue and very bright feeling.


DSA ball cap without height difference, you can also see the different positioning keys.


The desktop became like this, not as boring as it was all black.

The details are very good, but also when the phone wallpaper......


After a few days of fun, I started to refresh the transit information every day... because the granite I was expecting day and night was on my way, though it was only part of it.

Finally one day, the granite letter area arrived.


Two kinds of gray granite, and the most white contrast.

The overall effect... The hue is no longer bright, and it is deep, but it is acceptable, so it took a few days to mix and match.


Not rigorous testing: the weight comparison of ABS and PBT.


It can be seen that even a thin DSA ball cap is still more heavy than ABS. The 3494 keycap and DSA keycap are light weight designs, and the impact of the opponent's feeling is not very large. It is recommended that you choose.

In chronological order, then, it was time for me to remember Filco tea. During that time, I sold the Filco black shaft and the white and blue DSA suit... and used the Apple keyboard.

I used to think that the Apple keyboard feels good, but I used a mechanical keyboard and then used a thin film. I feel awkward. It's really not easy to use.

At the same time, the first thing every morning is still to refresh the keycap purchase page, I still have half a set of granite did not get together! Nothing happened for a month... Just during the Chinese New Year, there was a power outage in the house, and the webpage was arbitrarily taken aback... It was actually available! !


Instant orders! By the way, I also chose the "Apple Kit"... After refreshing, I found out that I was completely out of stock! Wow haha, feeling luck is really good!

However, a reminder message was found in the mail box because it was not used very often, and there was no notification at all. It was better to be more diligent.


With the keycaps, the Filco tea can also be bought, and it's only a few days later.

On this axis of tea, something different from the black axis was found. The keycaps have become rougher and have a stronger matte finish. The coating is not a very smooth feeling. Surprisingly, the word is not so sticky. I don't know if it's a lot, or if it's improved. It feels good. When you wait for granite, you always use the original keycap.

I do not know whether or not everyone knows that granite has a new color, but in the domestic group purchase did not see it figure.


Is this, I do not know how to translate, simply understand the high-contrast color?

Color matching is this way. If you like it, go and buy it. I have limited ability to buy two sets of granite...

After a while, my "Text Modifiers" and "Apple Kit" were finally in shock and the process did not mention it.



First put two color keys on it, haha.

Complete the effect! So far, the combination of the Filco 87 dual-mode tea shaft + DSA Granite granite has been completed! And including the "Apple Kit" for use with the iMac, no regrets.


Still like this feeling, the only blue, the overall retro, simple and refined.

Discovered an interesting coincidence, granite color, and the iPhone's keyboard color is somewhat similar.

In the end, I left the two keyboards. On the desktop, each has its own merits. It may be that the future use is that the Filco tea tends to be typed, and the 3494 is biased towards the game. Anyway, some play will do.

The current state is just like this. This article is also written in this combination.

Just so much,

Hope it helps.

May everyone have more and more toys.
