Four-color butterfly | Rapoo E9350G multi-mode wireless blade keyboard brief review

Remember the first two months I reviewed the Rapper E9550G multi-mode wireless blade keyboard, this piece of products that can PK Apple Magic Control Keyboard actually has two reduced versions - E9350G and E9050G, today to talk to you is to omit the arrow keys and function keys, 99 keys with the E9350G.

Add more active colors

I have talked about the heritage of the Rapper Blade series before, which should be the earliest ultra-thin keyboard design in China, and in the latest product of the Blade series, E9350G is the most beautiful product, with a total of "popular powder" and "cold purple" and the conventional color of E9550G and E9050G - "white + black".

To be honest, the introduction of pink and purple jumping colors in the Blade series is still very unexpected, after all, the ultra-thin keyboard is designed to bring a simple desktop. And the design with frosted aluminum alloy bezel and back panel is also designed to bring a smart narrow frame and integrated keyboard visibility. However, even in formal business occasions, business people who are accustomed to wearing black, white and gray suits, occasionally changing the bright tie will give people a bright feeling. The color scheme of "pop powder" and "cold and bright purple" is to make the E9350G more jumpy, and this non-functional statement can often achieve an alternative effect on commercial products that are known for their seriousness.

Exquisite craftsmanship and humanized design

It can be seen that E9350G uses a frosted aluminum alloy frame and back panel, and the difference with apple magic keyboard is only that the keyboard surface does not use a metal integrated design (the surface of the keyboard is a high-strength plastic material, and the surface is treated with the same frosted process as the aluminum alloy back shell), but the blade series is not inferior to apple in the surface process of the mold and CNC treatment, and in terms of overall solidity, it is more solid than apple. From the perspective of three circumferences, the thinnest and thickest parts of the E9350G are 5mm and 12.9mm, respectively, and the weight is 394g, in fact, the difference between the weight and size of the keyboard and the magic keyboard also reflects the weight and thickness of the mold used by the two.

In order to achieve a more concise design, the E9350G adopts a low front and back high inclination design, the bottom does not provide variable feet, but uses 5 rubber feet to provide table top support and anti-slip. Coupled with its flat chocolate keycap design, the palm is relatively close to the desktop, and users who are accustomed to using mechanical keyboards need a certain amount of time to adapt. E9350G's keycap design is very distinctive, its surface is still frosted, long-term use is not easy to hit the oil, especially the keycap surface is specially for the finger abdomen "reserved" a pit of about 0.2mm, which is conducive to improving the control efficiency.

Precise and stable scissor foot structure

Since the blade series product setting, the scissor foot has always been the most commonly used button structure in the series of Rebbe, and you can imagine that after ten years of using a type of button structure, Rapper's grip on the feel of scissor feet can be said to have reached the point of pure fire. Compared with the notebook buttons used daily, the E9350G's scissor foot structure is more stable and the rebound feedback is more sensitive. In addition, the keyboard's key spacing and key range are left with a considerable margin, the gap between the keys and keys is about 2mm, and the key range reaches 1.5mm (the keyboard key range of many thin and light notebooks is only 1.2 ~ 1.3mm), so the margin for the finger in operation is very abundant.

Meet the wireless three-mode four devices paired at the same time

E9350G is far more connected than the Magic Keyboard, it has Bluetooth 3.0, 5.0 and 2.4G 3 wireless connection modes, of which Bluetooth 3.0 is a higher power consumption, but real-time response is more efficient mode, often used in games; Bluetooth 5.0 is a low energy Bluetooth mode, to meet the needs of daily office. In addition, 2.4G is the most mature wireless mode used by Rapoo for more than a decade, requiring a 2.4G wireless adapter to connect to the computer, thus eliminating the initial verification and pairing process of Bluetooth, and the energy consumption is between the two Bluetooth modes. The three wireless modes can be easily switched, allowing the keyboard to be paired with four devices at the same time (of which Bluetooth 5.0 supports pairing two devices at the same time), which can be switched by Fn+1\2\3\4 keys. Therefore, Lei bai's set of blade keyboard can not only be used on the desk, but also as a control device for the intelligent interaction system and home entertainment system in the conference room, and the thin and light body shape is also very convenient for storage.

Dual operating system support, the price is very fragrant

The reason why Rapper's Blade series is compared with the Magic Keyboard is because its key settings provide support for both MacOS and Windows 11 dual systems: for example, the Ctrl key corresponds to Control, the Win key corresponds to Opiton, the Alt corresponds to Command, and it can be switched between the two systems through the Fn+ "'" key. It is worth mentioning that the keyboard is highly compatible with the newly released Windows 11 system last year, and provides 13 multimedia shortcut keys in addition to the basic functions of the system, including back and forth pages, returning to the home page, opening the mailbox, playing music and other function keys, as well as multimedia buttons for playback, up/next, volume plus and minus, mute and so on, and the functions are quite rich.

In other configurations, E9350G is highly similar to E9350G and E9050G, with a built-in 300mAh battery, supporting 60-96 hours of battery life, of course, the addition of the battery is mainly to meet mobile needs, daily use in the office, you can connect the Type C charging interface after the keyboard.

Most importantly, the price of the Rappel Blade series keyboard is quite competitive: the price of Apple's two magic control keyboards is: 1249RMB and 1049RMB, even the old model needs 899RMB and 699RMB, and the corresponding E9350G and E9050G only need 249RMB and 149RMB, and the E9350G with 99 keys only needs 199RMB.

EF reviews

I've always had a real liking for Rapper's Blade series. In addition to the three E series products I mentioned, it also provides the XK series specially launched for Pad, Surface, and general tablet devices, as well as the 2.4G wireless thin and light keyboard K series with long battery life, which also includes splash-proof, trackpad, roller and other designs, and the technical depth is very commendable.

E9350G has four rich colors, 99 key arrangement at the same time to take into account the richness of key functions and keyboard size, can be put into the backpack just right, in addition, superb mold + scissor feet, and has a dual system three modes and four equipment, making it have a super cost performance.
