If the price of the custom TTC colorful red axis version of RK98 is discounted in half, can the products that come out still guarantee high cost performance? The answer to RK is yes. On the basis of the TTC colorful red axis three templates that sold quite hot before, only a single mold was retained, a set of keycaps and a custom shaft body were replaced, and the price came to 200 yuan after reducing some of the configurations, and the custom shaft three templates also added dozens of pieces, the price butcher...
Exterior details
Or class 98 with columns, thick border, adjusted to a compact F-zone, and tucked in two more function keys, looking for stubble can not see the difference in design with the previous TTC three templates. However, the latter is much higher in the degree of customization, not only in the shaft color matching is very elaborate, the fuselage color is also as close as possible to the version of the theme color. Ordinary RK98, whether single mode or three mode, there is no contrasting cover and base, only black and white are available.
The indicator light is marked with high contrast between the letter and number fields, which is clear and easy to understand. The RK98 series has no wire slot, the USB cable interface is in the left rear, open interface, quite friendly to third-party cables.
Looking at the bottom of the keyboard, it seems that there is no difference from the TTC axis version, and the bigfoot brace is very hard and not easy to close, which is a plus.
The net weight of the three-template is about 1045g, which is 58g heavier than the 987g of the single-template, which is the weight generated by the battery. The battery capacity is still 3750mAh, according to the general use scenario, almost can be used for 1 week, if you do not turn on the light + Bluetooth mode endurance can be doubled more than that.
Keycap shaft body
White with white, black with black, single mode and triple mold return to the most common OEM high injection molding keycaps. The keycaps are transparent and closed, and they are relatively beautiful after turning on the lights. The delicate and smooth touch also helps the input experience a lot. In addition, the three QWE keys of the three templates will also have Bluetooth toggle key combinations. It is also worth mentioning that this pair of keycaps has no burrs, and from the side, there is no crooked shaft, and the look and feel is worth the price.
The new product debut is equipped with a customized K yellow axis, and the trigger pressure is increased to 50g. The smoothness is slightly better than the customized red shaft, and the noise generated by pressing is also the same, so the K yellow shaft is a little more expensive than the other three shafts. The problem with the big key is still similar to the RK87 of the previous period, and the bottom is a bit meaty. But fortunately, this keyboard supports hot plug, simple two steps to remove the satellite axis can be DIY, grease does not have to be added, the factory comes with, the amount is not more and no less.
Single-mode and three-mode configurations are also subdivided on the silencer pads. The single mold has two layers, including sandwich cotton and bottom cotton, and the three molds only have sandwich pads. Therefore, the cavity sound control ability of the three-template version is slightly inferior to that of the single-template.
Driver software
There is a driver download of the RK98 on the official website, and the model identified is the TTC axis version, but it does not affect any function at all. The interface is old and the rules are old, changing keys, macros, and custom lights are also many. There are also several new lighting effects in the lighting effect options, which are in line with the times.
Lighting effects
The brightness and RGB lighting effect of the white version are much better than those of the black version, because the white material can reflect more light. There is also the advantage of word transparency keycaps, which comes out, especially in low ambient light, the effect is better. Of course, it is not perfect, at least the FN key combination function annotation is no way.
Write at the end
The price of only more than 200 yuan, for other customized peripherals, is estimated to buy a kit. But to RK, it is a set of finished products, and the shaft quality (K yellow axis version) is also beyond the level that this price point should be, and it is very capable of playing. The existing problems, not nothing, the big key feel or almost sincere, because of the support of hot plug, move to remove the satellite shaft in two minutes, the shaft core cut foot is perfect.
