Christmas 2021 is coming, but we pay attention to the mechanical keyboard in the version that belongs to this season is not much, as a new brand in the keyboard field, Ruismith's momentum is very strong, R87 released only more than 1 month, and a new metal theme mechanical keyboard: winter.
Winter winter, blue and white tones are dominant, accustomed to the red, green and white Christmas tree color, this color matching seems to present a wider field of view, not stuck to a tree. There is R87 all-aluminum metal fuselage as the bottom, showing a superior sense of plastic fuselage, and then take a look at the weight of the real 1.3kg, the word "precious" appears to be worthy of the name. (PS: The white keycap of this test prototype is off-white, the actual shipment will be pure white, and the clean snow white is of course more in line with winter :)
Because it is based on the R87-key TKL layout, it is also a wired keyboard in winter, so it is still a pure machine that pursues material, workmanship and feel to the greatest extent, but it has a single function. Compared with the ordinary R87, the winter version of the keycaps still looks like a three-color gradient routine, but its blue keycap process is no longer injection molding blue, but 5-sided sublimation to create blue, and added a lot of personality characters, gradually releasing their energy in PBT sublimation.
Don't look at the pattern only a little bit over the folded surface, but this spacebar must also use five sides of the sublimation, small snowmen and a few pieces of falling snowflakes, let me think of the scene of the winter morning rise as a child, but this five sides (only printed this pattern) is really a loss, but the biggest advantage of this is that the transition from the white letter area is very natural, the overall sense will be grabbed, like a large piece of snow. Look at other personality sublimation keycaps.
Area F has 8 personalized keycaps with snowflakes, snowmen and other patterns, and the sharpness is not bad, but the off-white of the prototype looks like this snow is a bit gray, and I look forward to the pure white keycaps of the big goods. Taking the edge of the inner frame of the fuselage as a reference, the deformation of the ruismith keycap is very small, the edges are straight, and these personality paintings are also printed clearly, and there are many sublimation keycaps on the market, I believe that the R87 winter workmanship level will not disappoint.
Compared with the space bar, the five-sided sublimation of this enter key is much stronger, and this sense of snow vitality can only be created by the second dimension :)
And R87 has been different from the existing blue sky, sunny days and other versions, the winter theme has a breakthrough in the process, in the editing key area of the vacancy to increase the UV printing process, in the aluminum alloy fuselage printed out of the theme picture, the painting with an anodized blue fuselage as the sky, and the snow is located in a village full of cooking smoke, the picture is not complicated, but look at the natural scene, although the fineness is not particularly perfect, but it is enough to look at and personality.
It can be seen that the blue five-sided sublimation color difference is very small, close to the injection molding effect. In terms of feel, R87 will continue to carry TTC's gold powder, ACE and quick silver shaft in winter, and the big key is still matched with the Blue Sky satellite axis independently designed by Ruismith, according to our test data, the feel of this satellite axis will not disappoint. Pure workmanship and feel, with the theme of the scene, in the appearance and personality of the improvement is not small, the specific price needs to wait for the platform to be listed to know.
