Digital products have changed all aspects of our work and life, but they have also brought some headaches, such as the messy desktop, the shackles of cables not only increase the difficulty of cleaning and storage, but also make the desktop appear disorganized. Neat and crisp is the desktop we want. In recent years, the "wireless" of digital peripherals has become a popular trend, and it is a good partner that occupies the desktop all year round: keyboards and mice. As a digital enthusiast, today I want to share with you a set of dual-mode wireless keyboard and mouse, they are from the well-known domestic label Rapper, the specific models are V500 Pro and VT960, whether the game or office has a good performance, the following is quickly let us understand it:
1. Unboxing:
The packaging of both products adopts a unified design with blue edges and black backgrounds, so let's put them together. The renderings on the box painting are all presented in the way of colored lights, giving people a cool visual enjoyment. The capitalized model is unusually eye-catching, while the corner labels next to it indicate different versions. It is worth mentioning that the VT960 in my hand is the latest "cyberpunk version", and the mechanical texture has been added to the skirt, while the popular V500 Pro has chosen a more compact 87-key version (red axis), which is exquisite and compact.
Contents display: First look at the mouse bar, in addition to the manual, charging cable and 2.4G receiver, but also provide an additional receiving base with a LOGO lamp. This thread is woven material, has good flexibility, wear resistance and easy storage and care. The cable is very long, and it can be used in wired mode and can be used arbitrarily.
Keyboard accessories also include a wireless receiver, a Type-C charging cable and a red key puller.
Second, the appearance and function display:
Rebb vT960 cyberpunk version
As a classic model, VT960 with its outstanding appearance and comfortable operating experience has become a hit as early as last year. And Rebbe also hit the iron while it was hot and launched a new cyberpunk version. In terms of performance parameters and appearance, there is no difference with the ordinary version, the same is a customized OLED display + RGB dazzling light design, and the original phase 3389 engine is also used. However, there are still visible differences in details, color matching, etc., and the price is the same.
Streamlined fuselage, metal frame shell, left and right key symmetrical design, plus night black color, like a supercar, especially the moment of clicking the mouse, RGB lights on, strong power, ready to go, let you enjoy freedom and happiness at any time. The specific size of the mouse is 124.77*66.2*37.45mm, weighing about 110 grams. Unlike the regular version, the new version has a completely black body, including a semi-encircled aluminum alloy frame on the back (the normal version is silver), and a cyber-style mechanical pattern depiction that extends to the skirt armor.
When I first got the VT960, the first thing that attracted attention was actually the two red side buttons on the left three-sided key, which acted as forward and backward, and the separate "little black" was the fire button. Its angle and position design is just right, just press when holding, and will not cause accidental touch. Other key operations are customizable, and we can set common shortcuts according to our own habits through the driver software. If you look down, the back of the mouse itself is replaced by a large area of hollowing, this design is more avant-garde, but also more futuristic technology, feel do not have to worry, the actual use of the grip will not have a "sense of collapse", or very full. The lightweight design also makes playing games easy and comfortable for a long time.
The use of the frosted alloy back shell brings a delicate feel, and the number of buttons in the VT960 reaches 7. The left and right keys are crisp and natural, and the roller in the center is wrapped in "wheel pattern" rubber, which has a strong sense of damping when rolling. There is also a DPI key on the lower axis. The Omron micro switch used in the mouse can be clicked 50 million times and is durable.
The dual mode of the VT960 refers to wireless (2.4G)/wired use. Therefore, the Type-C port on the top can be charged and used as a wired mouse when there is no power. Unfortunately, the mouse does not have a place for the receiver to fit. However, usually we can insert it into the receiver base. The two LOGO lights shine together, but it is also interesting. There is a 16.8 million color LOGO lamp designed in the middle of the back, which also supports custom colors, which complements the top screen, which is still very cool.
The inside of the shell is printed with information such as nameplates and specifications. The mouse has a 600 mAh large-capacity lithium battery built-in, fully charged for two hours, you can stick to three days of battery life (wireless mode). The 2mm thick aluminum alloy frame facilitates rapid heat dissipation and perspiration, and is always in the best condition. The inside of the mouse is a black shiny acrylic material, which can be described as steel and soft.
Bottom close-up: Does this look like a "grandfather" cape? There are three foot pads at the collar and two tail wings to stabilize and resist slippage. There is also a toggle switch at the top of the forehead. The VT960 is equipped with a flagship PMW3389 esports engine, which can support up to 16,000 CPI, and has 400 IPS, 50G acceleration and 1000Hz return rate, which can be described as quite powerful.
Rapoo V500 Pro 87-key multimode mechanical keyboard
The specific size of the Raeb V500 PRO-87 is 357.9*129.4*41.9mm and weighs about 927 grams. It doesn't take up much space on the desktop. The keyboard is black as a whole, with rounded corners at the edges, and it is thick and dull. Paired with a suspended ergonomic keycap, it is very comfortable to tap and easy to clean and take care of every day. The front frosted metal top cover has a good texture and enhances the grade of the keyboard.
There are many versions of the Rapoo V500 Pro, with a variety of colors to choose from, and there are also blue/red/black/tea options on the shaft body. However, the regular model is 104 keys, while the 87 keys are newly launched. Compared with the 104, it is more compact, but it has more independent cursor areas and shortcut keys than the 61 keys, which is more convenient to use. Personally, I think it is the most balanced matching style of all sizes.
The keyboard is connected in a variety of ways, it supports both traditional wired connections and the popular 2.4G+ Bluetooth wireless connection, of which Bluetooth also supports 5.0 and 3.0, which is a good balance between stable and efficient and low latency, low power consumption. The V500 Pro can also connect up to five devices at the same time for easy switching. In this way, whether it is typing on mobile phones, tablets, or on the PC, code words are more handy.
The two indicators above the cursor area are symmetrical to the left and right, namely case and mode switching. In addition, the keyboard also integrates a multimedia control function, through the FN and F1-F12 key combinations (the position below the key body is marked by a figure) can quickly switch between daily applications such as volume, up and down curve switching, play/pause control and so on.
The keyboard has no flush of all keys, and the wireless mode can support 6 keys without flush, the key response speed is very fast, and the feel is very comfortable. There is no tiredness in playing a few laps of the game.
Front center Type-C port close-up: As mentioned earlier, the V500 PRO can be wired or wireless (support 2.4G and Bluetooth), and can be used while charging in wired mode. The toggle switch next to it toggles the corresponding mode.
There are six rubber feet spread around the back of the keyboard to ensure a secure table top. Unfortunately, there is no adjustable segmented foot brace, which is different from the regular version.
In terms of battery life, the built-in battery capacity of the fuselage is 4000 mAh, and the battery life can be up to one month at a full charge.
The keycaps of the V500 Pro use a two-color injection molding process, which has good light transmission and reinforcing ribs inside. As can be seen from the close-up, the workmanship is still good, no burrs, and the handling is very neat.
Third, the use of experience:
I usually have a lot of code words, and I occasionally play games in my spare time, so I put the mouse and keyboard together. The VT960 and V500 Pro 87 keypads are both black, and the combination of the two is still very pleasing and not contradictory. The supercar shape of the mouse is unbelieving, which brings visual enjoyment and a good grip (medium size). The alloy back shell effectively avoids the situation that ordinary mice will be oiled and worn for a long time. The design of the back cutout is exactly in the palm position when held, which is where sweating is often possible. The VT960 does not have such concerns.
In terms of keyboards, in order to let players have a better sense of percussion, all well-known labels have self-developed shafts, and Leibai is no exception. The V500 Pro is equipped with its own mechanical shaft, with a single axis life of up to 60 million times, and has black, green, tea and red axes to choose from. The black axis is sensitive to trigger and the feedback is rapid; the green axis has a crisp sense of impact and a strong sense of rhythm; while the tea axis has a soft feel and a small sound, suitable for ordinary users; the red axis in my hand has the attribute of "noise reduction", which is light and quiet when tapping, and there will be no crackling keyboard noise when code words. It is very responsive and has no obvious sense of paragraph, which is very suitable for office or home use and does not affect TA people.
The keyboard features a mixed-color backlight system that supports 6 backlight modes and 4 brightness adjustments. We can switch between different light modes by Fn + Right Ctrl key combination (the default is Ripple, others have solid light/single point light/breathing/star dot/curve mode). Fn and cursor keys adjust brightness and breathing rate.
As mentioned earlier, The Raeb VT960 can download the driver through the official website to set the mouse buttons, lights, DPI (7 adjustable), etc., and support macro editing (can achieve quick combo moves during the game).
Interestingly, the VT960 is programmable with nine keys, which greatly meets the customization needs of players. The RGB backlight also has a spectrum, breathing and other circulation modes to choose from, and supports various color adjustments.
The VT960 uses a Ti de instrument wireless chip, which can provide the fastest response speed of 1ms and a stable transmission of 10 meters.
An OLED display is built into the top position of the mouse, which shows the remaining battery and DPI by default. But we can also customize text, patterns, or even doodles through drivers. The effective display area is 0.66 inches, and it is no problem to label your own name, because it is monochrome, and the pattern is too small and the second is too monotonous. In addition, for the sake of battery life, the screen brightness is low (you can also directly turn off the screen display).
The keys are crisp during the game micro-exercises, and the drag is also smooth. With the V500 Pro keyboard, in the actual game micro-exercise, whether it is a classic FPS game such as CS, or a MOBA such as LOL, the switching, shooting, and bullet change between the guns are all in one go, the positioning is accurate, the reaction speed is also very fast, and the whole round of game experience is still very comfortable.
Summary: This set of keyboard and mouse of Reppy adopts a wireless multi-mode design, and the two are paired with both office codewords and game entertainment, which have a good performance. And its compact body can be easily packed into the backpack, which is convenient for use when going out and at any time. VT960 cyberpunk version has a strong scientific and technological wind, and the addition of OLED display is full of personality. The 3389 flagship engine is smooth and smooth with Omron micro-motion. The V500 Pro 87 key shape is simple and calm, 4 kinds of connection methods, 5 devices switch, more convenient and flexible to use. This pair of good partners is personally still recommended.
