Compared with the traditional mechanical keyboard, the customized keyboard can meet the individual needs of more users, from the earliest replacement of keycaps to welding replacement shaft body to the selection of today's hot-swap replacement, more easy and convenient customization, but also allow every player to easily customize a mechanical keyboard of their own.
Rapoo V700DIY
Recently, Rapoo launched a new mechanical keyboard Rapoo V700DIY, which can be seen from the "DIY" in the name, which is a hot-swappable mechanical keyboard using Rapoo's autonomous linear quicksilver axis. In addition, the current mainstream color RGB backlight system, 104-key full-size non-conflict and other functions, Rapoo V700DIY also has one by one.
Quicksilver shaft provides a comfortable feel
The "shaft body" is the core of the mechanical keyboard and an important part of determining the experience of using a mechanical keyboard. This time Rapoo V700DIY is equipped with the "hot-swappable linear quicksilver shaft" designed by Rapoo by default, its key travel is 4mm, the trigger stroke is 1.3±0.5mm, and the trigger pressure is 45±10gf, as the name "Quicksilver Shaft" says, "sensitive" is the first impression this shaft body brings me.

It is worth mentioning that the "hot-swappable linear quicksilver shaft" is a shaft body without paragraph feeling, and the short key travel of 4mm also means that it is very suitable for gamers. Of course, another advantage of this design is that the tapping sound is relatively quiet, which is also suitable for use in the office.
High durability is a major advantage of mechanical keyboards, while hot-swappable linear Quicksilver shafts provide a lifetime of 50 million cycles per axis, ensuring longer use for heavy users. In addition, it has a dust-proof design on both sides of the shaft body, a gold-plated design for the contact shrapnel and a self-lubricated PVC shaft core, which ensures a longer service life.
Of course, the biggest advantage of this shaft body is that it supports hot swapping. Simply remove the keycaps and use the keyboard shaft puller to insert the upper and lower parts of the shaft body to remove the shaft body. When installing the shaft body, you only need to align the shaft body with the corresponding pins, press and hear a clicking sound, which means that the shaft body installation is complete. In the process of unplugging and installing the shaft body, the keyboard does not need to be powered off, all you need to do is select the suitable shaft body and install it on the keyboard.
In addition to the Quicksilver shaft, Rapoo also specially designed another shaft body - the bullet white shaft. The white shaft is also hot-swappable and also has a paragraphless design, but the trigger pressure and key travel of this shaft body are lower, and the feel is lighter.
Of course, Rapoo V700DIY also has a wider range of DIY capabilities, its circuit board is adapted to most of the five-pin hot-swap shaft bodies on the market, with Kaihua, TTC and other brands of five-legged shaft bodies, every user can combine their own needs, DIY a most suitable mechanical keyboard.
"Texture comes first"
Today, RGB has become almost the standard on keyboards, which not only complements the desktop environment built by users, but also is a personalized expression for everyone. This time, Rapoo V700DIY provides users with office mode and game mode, for example, in the office, you can choose a slightly restrained lighting effect, and when gaming, you can switch to colorful RGB, and through different lighting dazzling effects, to meet your personality.
Rapoo V700DIY supports colorful RGB
In order to meet the characteristics of RGB, Rapoo V700DIY keycaps are also made of PBT, which has high chemical stability and mechanical strength, which is very suitable for use as keycaps. Moreover, PBT keycaps are also not easy to oil, and the innate light color is also very suitable for creating pure white keycaps, so the PBT material transparent keycaps used by Rapoo V700DIY are undoubtedly quite suitable.
Rapoo V700DIY is made of aluminum alloy upper cover
In addition, the Rapoo V700DIY also uses an aluminum alloy cover, which also makes it a little more temperamental through the combination of silver and white. At the same time, Rapoo also added a dorsal fin shape on the right side, and accommodated the mode switch button, light switch button, wheel mode switch button, mute key and light brightness and volume adjustment wheel in this area, which also made the keyboard more compact.
The bottom of the keyboard is designed with a silicone tripod
It is worth mentioning that Rapoo V700DIY also adopts the current well-received split key cable design, which abandons the thick cable of the traditional RGB mechanical keyboard, and the detachable design is also more convenient to carry. Of course, Rapoo also introduced the design of gold-plated USB interface to improve the corrosion resistance of the interface and ensure that the keyboard has a longer service life. In addition, the silicone tripod and anti-slip patch on the bottom can also flexibly adjust the angle of use of the keyboard, and there is no need to worry about the keyboard being slipped away during intense gaming.
There is also high degree of freedom programming
The current mechanical keyboard is not only an input tool, but also a great tool to improve the efficiency of use. Through Rapoo's own driver software, the 104 keys of Rapoo V700DIY can be independently programmed, and through the macro editing function in the software, many complex operations in the game can also be triggered.

In daily use, I also like to use the driver to adjust the lighting effect of the keyboard, from the brightness, speed and light mode, etc., can be directly adjusted.
Write at the end
The emergence of hot-swappable mechanical keyboards meets the "personalized" needs of users. For example, FPS players can replace "WASD" with an axle body with a shorter key travel and faster trigger, or replace the commonly used input area with a more flexible shaft body, which can further improve the user experience.
Through the continuous update and iteration of mechanical keyboards, this personalized experience has also become easier and more accessible. Rapoo V700DIY hot-swappable RGB backlit gaming mechanical keyboard price is only 299 yuan, compared with other keyboards in the price level also has many advantages, if you are a user who pursues personalization, Rapoo V700 DIY is a good choice in the current mechanical keyboard market.
