may be affected by the mobile Internet. In recent years, portable keyboards have gradually become popular, especially the 84-key compact keyboard with contrasting colors. Not long ago, the well-known domestic peripheral manufacturer Rapber also Start to fill in this product line and launch the V700-8A multi-mode backlit mechanical keyboard, supporting Bluetooth 5.0/Bluetooth 3.0/2.4G Hz wireless/wired four connection methods, including three colors: Lonely Brave, Unman's Land and Mecha Purple. The axis covers Raptor autonomous black axis, red axis , tea axis and blue axis , among which, Mecha The purple key cap is the boldest color combination, with white and purple intersecting, supplemented by green as embellishment. The author is relatively mature and chose the relatively low-key loner. The axis body is my favorite panacea - tea axis .

Appearance display

Packaging style continues the consistent tradition of the Rapberry V series, intuitively displaying the keyboard renderings, and the keyboard model and shaft body are also marked very clearly.

unboxing list, in addition to the keyboard body, data cable, 2.4GHz wireless receiver and manual, a key puller is also provided. By the way, it is really convenient to use a key puller to remove the key cap.

V700-8A adopts 75% 84-key compact key layout arrangement, greatly reducing the keyboard size and improving portability. At the same time, it adopts a key wire separation (detachable wire) design, making the desktop more neat and release to the greatest extent Desktop space. Compared with the mecha purple and no man's land, the color scheme of the Lonely Brave is much more low-key and restrained, with gray and black intersecting, which is relatively close. The orange Esc in the upper left corner is embellished, mature, low-key and flexible.

Although the keyboard is not large in size, it is not light in weight and solid in workmanship. The border is made of aluminum alloy. It has been oxidized by metal sandblasting . It has a delicate feel and uses CNC edge cutting technology at the edges, which is very high in shape.

key is Rapber's classic suspended borderless design, breaking through the constraints of keyboard borders, and is very simple and elegant. Especially after turning on the backlight, you can see the backlight around the shaft from the edge of the keyboard, which is quite gorgeous

because it adopts a compact design. V700-8A arranges the Del, Home, PageUp, PageDown and End keys in the rightmost column of the keyboard. At first, I was a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, these keys are not used very frequently, and I get used to it after using them for a while. Now. There is a Rapberry V series Logo LED light in the lower left corner of the border of

V700-8A. While it is full of faith, it also has practical functions. White means booting and red means charging. As the saying goes, you can rely on your appearance, but you have to rely on your strength.

V700-8A is equipped with Rapberry's independent shaft body. After more than ten years of technical accumulation, the shaft body feels very close to CherryMX, with a lifespan of up to 60 million times, and its feel is long-lasting and reliable. The tea shaft I chose will have a slight sense of paragraphs, but it is not as laborious as the blue shaft, nor as hard as the black shaft . You can also experience the pleasure of mechanical keyboard , taking into account both typing and gaming, it can be said to be a mechanical keyboard The panacea in the shaft is recommended for users who are first exposed to mechanical keyboards.

Shift, space and other large keys adopt satellite axis design, with high button stability and good hand feel consistency.

keycaps are a two-color injection molding process, with good light transmittance and wear resistance

Press Fn+1/2/3/4/5 to switch Bluetooth/2.4GHz wireless/wired modes respectively, and Fn+right Ctrl can switch ripples, constant light, single light, breathing, starry dots and curved light effects modes in turn. , Fn+ left and right direction keys can reduce/increase the light frequency, Fn+up and down direction keys can increase/increase the light brightness. It is worth mentioning that when Fn is pressed, all keys that can be combined with Fn will automatically light up, which is really humane. There is a toggle switch at the bottom of Hua

, two foot pads and two foot support.

has a built-in 4000mAh lithium battery, which supports charging and use. Thanks to Rapport's low-power wireless technology, the battery life can reach 25-225 hours under full power (depending on whether the backlight and the brightness of the backlight are turned on at the same time), and the brightness of the backlight is the highest. It can basically support about a week of working hours, which can be said to have met normal needs.

Driver Experience

First of all, it should be noted that the driver settings are only available in wired mode.

V700-8A and V960S use the same driver. This has changed the style of Rapporte, one model and one driver. It is estimated that Rapporte will be unified in the future. This must be praised, especially the unified driver of the keyboard and mouse is very necessary because players have to use it as a whole. Generally, they have their own brand preferences, and the peripherals are most likely to be products of the same brand. In this case, the keyboard and mouse have to install drivers separately, and it is not only troublesome, but also has a strong sense of separation when used.

driver interface style is more modern, with menu classification on the left and specific content on the right, supporting multiple configuration files. It can be designed according to office, games, etc., or game categories such as FPS, RPG, or specific games.

V700-8A keyboard all 84 keys are programmable, and basic functions, key combinations and macros can be set. The macros can be modified after recording. If you use them well, the functions are quite powerful, and combos and a series of functions can be easily completed.

In addition to the Fn+right Ctrl key that supports switching light effect mode, you can also set custom mode through the driver. In this mode, all keys can independently set 10 brightness levels, which means that players can set the backlight according to the frequency of the keys required by the game. Brightness is used to remind yourself of the game buttons. For example, when playing FPS games, you can set the commonly used W, A, S, and D to level 10 brightness, and the second commonly used F, R, C, 1, 2, and 3 to set the 6-level brightness, Z, X, and V are rarely used to set to 3-level brightness, and the Logo light at the lower left corner of the keyboard can also be set to be on, breathe and turn off.

can be easily upgraded in the driver. It is recommended that you must first upgrade the driver and firmware after you get the keyboard to get the best user experience.

Typing experience

The author is an programmer . typing code is my daily routine, and I often need to go out with a thin laptop on my back. The keyboard feel of the thin laptop is really hard to describe. I understand what I have used. I have long been I just want to get a portable mechanical keyboard. The portability of the V700-8A is really great. The 14-inch laptop can be installed on , and it also supports two wireless modes: Bluetooth and 2.4GHz, especially in smart When typing on the TV, it is really convenient to use. Needless to say, my colleagues who use the remote control to enter text know the pain in my heart.

Thanks to the excellent ergonomic design, although the V700-8A is compact in size, it is not easy to touch by mistake. It feels very comfortable to type. The moderate trigger pressure makes the fingers very relaxed. With the dynamic backlight, click on the code It was like flowing water. This time, my mother no longer had to worry about me being at a loss at the customer site.

Game experience

I also need to relax moderately after work. I will become a game player. V700-8A is also competent in gaming. It can support full-key without impulse in wired mode, and any 6-key without impulse in wireless mode supports any 6-key without impulse in wireless mode. , is enough for daily use, after all, no one can play doubles fighting games on such a compact keyboard, no, no. With the help of the driver, using the macro definition function, even the most complex combos can be easily completed.

and my favorite custom mode in lighting effects. You can directly set the key backlight according to the game keys, so that you can focus more on game operations.

Summary

Overall, the experience brought to me by the Rapport V700-8A multi-mode backlit mechanical keyboard is quite amazing. The cool appearance, excellent workmanship, portable experience, and full-key programmability are all left behind. With a deep impression, it can be called a bucket-level configuration, and with a sincere price of 299 yuan, it will surely become the best choice for young people to buy portable keyboards. In addition, I was very pleased to see Rapport's efforts in software before, because as hardware configurations gradually converge, software demonstrates the hard power of a manufacturer. The author expects Rapport to further make efforts in the integration of peripheral drivers. , looking forward to Rapport bringing us better integrated driver software next time.
