Magic egg 68 has been out for a year now, I remember in the forum often see some of the evaluation of burning oil, for me personally, feel more than exquisite, practical, because it is 60% compact layout, many conventional features Use must match with FN key, not so direct, feel adapt to come however, but it seems that a lot of programmers and enthusiasts like this layout, I have been in awe of 60% of the machinery.
In the last two months, JD raised a retro machine, and the crowd raised 1288. This price is also intoxicating. Now people sell 2288 yuan and get drunk. But it was like this whipped up the typewriter's madness, mainly the set of keycaps. It was really good-looking. I didn't expect the magic eggs to have such keycaps for a long time. It was considered that the prices of the keycaps purchased separately were not as good as the direct finished product. In fact, you can't get used to giving programs, friends (non-burning oil) as gifts, or you can play games.
Because of the reason of the key cap, the keyboard sold to 329 counted less than 200, is not a pit, and tried.
Hard-shell corrugated packaging, the box looks much smaller than the average mechanical keyboard, after all, 68 keys.
The attachment is very simple: 68, keyboard line, key puller, manual / warranty card, the role of the key puller is better than nothing, because this keycap is different from the standard keycap, circular structure so that the gap between the key and the key is very large, direct finger You can squat down.
The retro flavor of the magic egg 68 is mainly from the retro typewriter's keycap, first black + silver, is the combination of the most traditional machinery and plastic, although similarity with the typewriter is not enough, but expensive in the spirit, suddenly a Look, there are still a lot of places where God is synchronizing. So far, what can be bought and afforded on the market, this can still be YY.
The 68-key keyboard deletes two keypads: the numeric keypad, the F function, and the condensed editing keypad. In addition to the arrow keys, the remaining nine editing keys only have Insert, Del, Page up, and Page down. Because of personal habits, I prefer PG UP/DOWN to home, end. . With such a small layout, plus some multimedia hotkeys, light adjustments, etc., the entire keyboard may have nearly 50% of the keys needed to implement other adjustment functions with the FN key. FN is very busy. .
Look at this "model" with a typewriter, and if you want to play (çš„), you want to open the rhythm. It can be considered that the keyboard works well at a coarse point of view, probably because of the round key caps, and the intervals between the keys are relatively large. It's just not as retro as the elephant, but it may be the design of the fuselage or the aluminum alloy with no cover that follows the current tide.
The keycap is flat-breasted. It's a pity, but does the side look thin?
Underneath you can see the data interface separated by the key line, mini USB, there is a section of the slot to do plug reinforcement. There is a DIP button on one side. You can swap some keys on the keyboard by using 3 gears. For example, Caps lock and Ctrl on the left, win button and FN button are called. These are some of the functions commonly used by DPI. , there are instructions, I generally keep the default. This support can properly fill the lack of flat chest caps. .
The fuselage is made of aluminium alloy plate and suspended design. With this "mushroom type" keycap, it looks like there is a kind of tall forest towering feeling. It is like an umbrella and can be seen directly from here. In addition, The design and support of the fuselage itself can be slightly balanced without the defects of R1~R4 height.
In order to type Kelvin's axis, I'm a bit sorry now. I wouldn't want to save 100. Why didn't I choose the cherry shaft? ? Pull a few keycaps to see, shaft assembly and ordinary machinery is no use. It seems that the keycap can also be generic to other keyboards.
The keycap's chrysanthemum is different from my usual ABS and PBT square keycaps. It is not a cross, but a "king" word slot. From the back it can be seen that the keycap is a black ABS plastic in all parts of the blue, and a silver plated ring is wrapped around it. Fortunately, the nozzles of the keycaps are all below, and the plated rings look very smooth.
The glittering decoration of the silver ring makes the round keycap look adorable, and no, ESC is really busy, with 3 characters above it. .
Large keys, like most keyboards, are designed with satellite shafts. In addition, the space bar has the feeling of reserving the location of LED lights.
I have been worried that this kind of keycap will not be too heavy. For comparison, all of them are 0.9g and I can rest assured.
F1 ~ F12 have been 1 ~ = get on, the keyboard has narrowed a lot, portability is not small, it is estimated that my shoulder bag can be put down.
Prepare to connect the computer to the back of the line.
Magic egg 68 this is a white LED, think of only this choice, retro thing? Because the characters are opaque, the main effect of this backlight is to provide atmosphere and back lighting (real "back light", touching ah), and the effect of not turning on the lights at night can make do.
From this angle you can see the lights are "exposed", because the keycap mushroom type, the legs are very thin and long, LED lights can not be covered, this angle is wanton light leakage, if you are typing, the next person must be very painful.
"Typewriter" started slightly. . .
I'm really satisfied with this effect. It's so handsome. It's backlit, notice the silver ring, it's really shining, this is a brand new polishing typewriter, haha~~
Compared with the standard 87-key, the feeling is that the entire scale has been reduced. Try to adapt to this layout.
Simply say this typing touch, first say "feel", there are two kinds of feelings, one is to touch the center of the keycap, is a familiar feeling, the other is to touch the edge of the plating, there is a strange, after all, is Touch this key cap for the first time. Then "voice", because this keycap is completely open below, so there is no louder cavity, so the original mandarin's voice is very sharp and delicate, the mother gun. . . Ha ~ ~, the sound is not in the past we are familiar with, the sound decibels a lot smaller, but fortunately can feel the rhythm of the crackling. However, it was definitely not the same as the sound of a typewriter heard on television. There was no such metallic taste.
To be honest, this keyboard's initial chance of mistakes is still quite high, because the keycaps are not R1~R4, and the layout is compact, ESC is now the "~" position, causing me to have some uncomfortable mistakes, but over Basically, there is no problem in 2 hours. The operation of the primary key area is basically the same as that of the keyboard that I normally use. The secret is to raise the finger a little and knock it in the center of the round keycap as accurately as possible. Although the speed of current typing will not decrease, comfort is actually a bit worse than that of conventional keycaps.
Just started, deep feeling is not, as rarely play 60% of the layout of the machinery, plus this keycap is very special, really quite challenging.
A place worthy of praise,
The keyboard has its own personality, and the taste of retro is quite like, which meets my small demand of YY. After all, we missed the mechanical typewriter of that era.
The workmanship is good. There is no boring axis. The upper and lower lids are tightly closed. The leading edge of the edge is also in place.
Tucao place,
The ergonomic comfort of the round keycaps is generally flat. The flat chest caps, with their relatively open spacing, are a bit unaccustomed.
The keycaps are laser-engraved characters, and they will definitely wear out forever.
If you turn on the backlight, the silver edge of the keycap will reflect light, which is a bit dazzling, and it is more appropriate not to turn on the backlight or to make it weak.
At this time, it seems that 60% can still adapt when typing. It is a little better than I expected. The typewriter's keycap does have personality, but it also requires a skilled person to type in a perfect way, otherwise it is a retro display. Slightly.
