Recently, for the needs of different players, Rebbe has launched a new V520RGB phantom backlight waterproof game mechanical keyboard, which not only has a full-size matching, full-key no-punch, all-aluminum alloy panel, but also a dust-proof and waterproof design, RGB dual backlight system and Rapoo independent infrared silver shaft, which can be said to be a very versatile game mechanical keyboard. Next, let's take a look at how it performs.
Packaging & Accessories:
The Raeb V520RGB phantom backlight waterproof game mechanical keyboard still continues the brand's blue and black color scheme in terms of packaging, and the recognition is very high. The front of the package has a product display and model name, and the back of the package introduces the characteristics of the product in multiple languages.
The accessories are slightly simpler, except for the keyboard body, there is only a manual and a plastic key puller.
Appearance & Details:
Rapoo V520RGB Phantom Backlight Waterproof Gaming Mechanical Keyboard adopts a 104-key full-size layout, which can better meet the dual requirements of most users for daily life and games, its size is: 438mm×126mm×37mm, the weight is about 811g, and it still has a certain weight in the hand. The keyboard adopts a floating narrow bezel design, which not only makes it have a more minimalist shape, but also makes it easier to clean in daily use.
The keyboard's keycaps are OEM heights, and the upper bottom feet provide it with a comfortable input angle and slope, which is also more ergonomic. Its upper cover panel is made of metal aluminum alloy, and the surface is also delicately frosted, coupled with the silver color scheme, making its metallic texture and tactile performance quite good. The four sides of the keyboard adopt cnc metal cutting edge process, and the four corners are also designed for rounded corners, which not only has a higher appearance performance, but also better protects the player from being scratched by the keyboard.
It also has a wealth of multimedia shortcut keys, through FN + F1 ~ F12 can quickly adjust the volume, play / pause, open mail, calculator, search and other functions, and FN + ESC can turn on / off the backlight, FN + PrtSc can also switch the lighting effect, the use is very convenient.
The bottom shell of the keyboard is ABS material, the overall workmanship is decent, and the design is also very simple. It has a total of 5 pieces of anti-slip rubber at the bottom, and 2 pieces of the upper half are above the feet, which can provide good anti-slip for players with different usage habits. At the same time, there are two hydrophobic holes on the left and right sides of the bottom, which provides an effective guarantee for waterproof performance.
The cable of the keyboard is a one-piece design, made of rubber, about 1.8m in length, the softness is quite good, although the USB interface does not use the gold plating process, it is equipped with anti-pull design and shielding magnetic ring.
Keycaps & Shafts:
The keyboard is equipped with a full set of OEM-high ABS material translucent keycaps, open characters, two-color injection molding process, and the treatment of water inlets and burrs is also good. The surface of the keycap has a slight matte texture, which is delicate and comfortable to the touch, dry and smooth, and there is no adhesion on daily tapping.
This keyboard is equipped with a 50 million click life of the Rebbe autonomous infrared silver axis, although the color of the shaft body is silver, but its feel is similar to the blue axis, with a distinct sense of paragraph and crisp tapping sound. The shaft body adopts the same infrared light blocking conduction mode as the common optical axis, which has a faster response, and the dust-proof structure on both sides of the shaft core also provides it with a better dust-proof effect, which can avoid dust, debris, etc. from falling into the gap, affecting the normal use of the shaft body.
Its large key position is designed for satellite axes, and the feel is more consistent and the percussion is also very clean, but it still has a slight wire sound.
RGB backlight:
The keyboard's backlight is one of its biggest features, with RGB lighting in both the key zone and the surround strip, and supports separate controls. There are a total of 19 built-in lighting effects in the button area, such as the common wave mode, breathing mode, ripple mode, running horse mode, single point mode, etc., and the player only needs to switch through FN+PrtSc. At the same time, it also presets 6 sets of custom lighting effects for different games, players can not only cycle through FN+Pause, but also customize settings through FN+ScrLK, which is very playable. Although the 360° full-bezel RGB light strip is very beautiful, it can also bring more cool and e-sports atmosphere to the desktop, but the only pity is that it cannot adjust the lighting effect, and can only be turned on or off through FN+Ins.
Usage test:
This keyboard supports a full-key no-flush solution, which can effectively avoid operation errors or interference caused by key interference, and can be easily controlled in different use scenarios such as office, entertainment, and games. Moreover, it also has a Windows lock function, which can be locked/turned on through FN+Windows, which can prevent accidental touch operation in intense games.
The PCB board inside the keyboard has a nano waterproof coating, coupled with the fine workmanship of the outer seam, which makes it have the characteristics of waterproof and dustproof, whether it is the accidental overturning of the water cup, or the clean water washing, it is completely out of the question, which can solve the player's worries.
In terms of game performance, the Leibai autonomous infrared silver axis can not only provide players with crisp and refreshing hand feedback, but also trigger a fast and sensitive response that can make it easier and more timely for players to release skills, bringing a better game experience. The full-key no-punch design and rich multimedia key combination also make it provide more convenient performance in daily use.
