Lei Bai once launched the explosive entry-level mechanical keyboard V500 Pro, with its super high cost performance has won the favor of many consumers, so that in the Jingdong platform search box input Rapper, the first candidate word is V500 Pro. Later, the V500 Pro added wireless versions, multi-templates, and multiple new color matching versions, and the price could be maintained at the approachable 100-yuan level. Some time ago, Leibai launched the V500 Pro-87 mechanical keyboard on the basis of V500 Pro multi-template, in short, Leibai V500 Pro-87 is the 87 version of the V500 Pro mechanical keyboard, the same origin, the overall design is almost the same as the V500 Pro multi-template, only in small details on the adjustment.

The keyboard comes with a key puller, about this key puller, nothing more than convenient for later cleaning or changing key caps
The V500 Pro-87 follows the V500 family's suspension shaft body design, frosted aluminum alloy cover, blackened treatment, and the base assembly is quite tight. However, there are still some burrs in the details of the base frame, and the workmanship alone is not too obviously improved compared to before. There is a rapoo logo and two indicator lights on the arrow keys, in addition to the traditional case indicator, there is a second status indicator, showing the connection mode, and a red light when charging, unlike the previous V500 Pro multi-template, the entire logo is lit up.

The back is still the familiar power switch and USB-C interface, and each switch does not need to be turned to the bottom, which is good. The USB interface has no inverted, so it does not dig a guide slot and is compatible with all USB-C cables. There is no traditional two-stage foot brace at the bottom, the anti-slip is all based on 6 rubber pads, and the keyboard height cannot be adjusted arbitrarily.
After all, the upgrade has a backlight, so the keycaps are replaced with this set of OEM high ABS two-color injection molding keycaps, the characters are translucent, but the opening, compared to the previous non-translucent radium carved keycaps, sacrificed a little look and feel to change the word transparency characteristics. Individual keycaps are marked with the FN combination function, and if they are in a completely dim environment, they will not be able to see clearly (after all, it is not transparent). But fortunately, these FN combination functions are distributed in and around the F zone, and after a period of use, they are casually blinded. If you look closely, there are also one or two keypoints with slightly crooked keycaps.
Lei Bai has adopted an autonomous mechanical axis on many of its own keyboards, corresponding to the 4 common shaft bodies of red and black tea green, Lei Bai's green axis parameters and performance are also similar to MX green shaft, the trigger stroke of this green shaft is 2.2mm, the trigger pressure is 50cN, but the rustling sound of pressing and rebound is much smaller, which is an advantage. In terms of overall feel, in addition to the space bar, a few large keys are still old problems, and adjusting the tightness of the keycaps cannot solve the meat problem. In fact, there is still room for improvement in the stability of the shaft core, if this problem can be improved from the source, then the overall feel of the keyboard will definitely have a qualitative leap.
Multi-mode wireless, FN key combination switching
The V500 Pro-87 supports Bluetooth, 2.4G and wired connectivity, and the Bluetooth solution is Bluetooth 5.0 and Bluetooth 3.0 like the V500 Pro Multi-Template. The built-in lithium battery has not shrunk, still 4000mAh, supporting charging while using. Even with the addition of backlight, coupled with Leibai's low-power chip and power-saving technology, 4000mAh can still make the battery life reach 1 week to 1 month. Both The Pro-Test Bluetooth 3.0 and 5.0 are perfectly paired with common mobile devices, and there is nothing to criticize in terms of stability and latency.
V500 Pro-87 itself also supports mixed color backlighting, switching 6 light modes through FN + right Ctrl, but the light color of each area is still fixed and cannot be customized, and the playability is limited to a certain extent. But well, at least the lighting atmosphere is done, just like a game mechanical keyboard.
Cheap, still the biggest killer of the series, the key position is reduced to 87 matching, the price is 20 yuan lower than the full size, as long as 229 yuan. Among them, in Jingdong with coupons can even be 179 yuan to hand, this price of three-mode wireless + backlight, and has a good wireless endurance, the cost performance is still quite prominent, although some of its workmanship details and feel is not very good. But as long as the quality control is stable in the later stage, this is another entry-level wireless mechanical keyboard weapon.
