When you talk about the originator of a lamp factory in a mechanical keyboard, who would you think of? In fact, the earliest to add LED backlight to the keyboard is TG3. TG3 is a U.S. military enterprise, mainly a police mechanical keyboard. Later, Deck 82 backlight mechanical keyboards were launched for gamers using the Deck brand. However, since the Deck brand has not been listed on the domestic market at all times, the players who want to start are only able to sea-fishing, and the cost of the final purchase is sharply increased. Therefore, the chance of making appearances in domestic Deck is still quite small.
However, some time ago, Deck finally had a Chinese agent, and I also preempted the Deck Francium Lite 87N mechanical keyboard experience for everyone. The product in the hands belongs to the Deck brand's entry-level model, using the cherry MX original black shaft, but it does not incorporate LED backlighting, but the overall sense of substance can still be felt in all aspects.
Solid work from military regulations
Let's start with an outside look. The Deck Francium Lite 87N mechanical keyboard is very sturdy from the aspect of look and feel, and the overall starry sky gray and dark gray match is very much in line with the aesthetics of boys. You have to say that this mechanical keyboard is for girls. It may not be appropriate to make a gift.
Hard and tough, its corner position is still a certain round of transition, and the entire border part is nowadays more popular "narrow frame" design, ah keyboard also built a narrow border ah. This kind of design is visually comfortable, except for its small footprint.
Of course, the narrow frame also makes the lower part of the Deck Francium Lite 87N free to place where you want to hold your wrist. If you don't have an extra keyboard pad, your hand may have to enter in a more tiring posture.
Although the sandblasting of the shell made it look like metal, you can still find it after tapping. This is a genuine plastic. Although it is plastic, the workmanship is not ambiguous, and every corner and details are handled with great care, and the touch feels more delicate.
The cleanliness of Deck Francium Lite 87N continues to the back. Such a completely symmetrical design makes Obsessive Compulsive Discomfort very comfortable.
The tripod at the bottom of the Deck Francium Lite 87N is a two-tiered design. A small tripod is placed in the tripod and is suitable for two different angles. However, the entire height of the tripod is already higher. I don't normally use the foot. frame.
The overall height of the Deck Francium Lite 87N is really quite high, and it feels slightly higher than the average mechanical keyboard, but fortunately the entire keyboard surface is a slope.
In fact, in addition to the body is relatively thick, especially the height of the top of the keyboard is larger, the bottom of the foot pad is also more obvious protrusions, such a thick floor mat, I think this is in response to "long-term war" and prepared it (laughs) .
At the bottom, we can also see that the Deck Francium Lite 87N uses non-bonded wire-separated USB braided wire and has left, right, and top three routing directions to allow players to adjust according to their desktop layout.
The heart of the mechanical keyboard, Cherry MX black shaft
Deck Francium Lite 87N's keycap uses a two-color PBT heating sublimation printing process. This two-color molding process is the formation of two different colors of plastic into a keycap, can make the keycap has not fade characteristics; and thermal sublimation The printing process also has the same fade-free properties, which makes Deck Francium Lite's keycaps very durable.
As for the touch, the coarse matte texture brought by the PBT keycap makes the fingers very comfortable when in contact with it. In addition, the sublimation printing and the top of the keycap that is slightly curved inward make the finger contact not like the laser mimeograph. The process feels like a bump.
Here we can see the black axis from Cherry MX. The characteristics of the black axis are more obvious, it can be said that there is no sense of passage at all, the trigger key path is short, and the press requires a lot of effort. This kind of axis body will have a good performance in the game, but if used for long-term typing, the hand It's easier to be sour, like me. Another feature of the Cherry MX shaft is the gold contact, which makes the shaft life longer.
In fact, whether it is the application of the Cherry MX black shaft or the key cap of the two-color PBT heating sublimation printing process, the purpose of Deck is still to ensure a good input experience, but also can bring a good durability, all of this and its continuation Since the TG3's military regulations can not do without work.
By the way, in the design of the big key, Deck Francium Lite 87N is designed for the satellite axis, and it feels a bit more natural than the design of the balance bar.
Slowly, the aforementioned Deck brand is arguably the originator of the play lights. It seems that this Deck Francium Lite 87N is not equipped with an LED backlight. In fact, this is not true, in the individual function keys, such as Caps, F10 and other key positions, is equipped with LED backlight, and will display a blue light from a transparent bar in the keycap, as for other key positions, Although there is no LED backlight, the lamp position is reserved, which is also convenient for players to do late DIY.
In addition to light can be DIY, Deck Francium Lite 87N also supports macro programming, its built-in RAM chip that can be programmed for each key of the key 64, which is important for the fans players. Another design that is more useful for gamers is full-key rushing. Deck Francium Lite 87N added this design, although in general it is sufficient to have 6 keys without rush.
In the future, it is believed that more and more mechanical keyboard brands that were only popular abroad will enter this vast market in China. At present, there are many home-made mechanical keyboards that have sprung up in the country. The future of mechanical keyboards will come in the future. There are more choices. Returning to the Deck Francium Lite 87N, Deck Francium Lite 87N, although it was only first introduced to China, it is believed to be a mechanical keyboard industry because of its reputation abroad and its good reputation among enthusiasts in the past, coupled with good quality. Add a fresh but familiar blood.
