Today, when mechanical keyboards are quite mature, more and more users are beginning to focus on “customized keyboards.” Compared with traditional mechanical keyboards, customized keyboards can meet the individual needs of more users. From the earliest replacement of keycaps to welding and replacement of shafts to today's hot-swap replacement, the easier and more convenient way of customization allows every player to easily customize a mechanical keyboard of their own.
Rapoo V700DIY
Recently, Rapoo has launched a new mechanical keyboard, the Rapoo V700DIY. As you can see from the “DIY” in the name, this is a hot-swappable mechanical keyboard that uses Rapoo's own linear quick silver axis. In addition, Rapoo V700DIY also has the currently mainstream Symphony RGB backlight system, 104-key full-size conflict-free and other functions.
Quicksilver shaft provides comfortable feel
The “shaft” is the core of a mechanical keyboard and an important part of determining the experience of using a mechanical keyboard. This time, the Rapoo V700DIY is equipped by default with the “hot-swappable linear quick silver axis” independently designed by Rapoo. Its key travel is 4mm, the trigger stroke is 1.3±0.5mm, and the trigger pressure is 45±10gf. As the name “Quick Silver Axis” says, “sensitive” is the first impression this axis brings to me.

It is worth mentioning that the “hot-swappable linear quicksilver switch” is a switch with no sense of segmentation, 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 knocking sound is relatively quiet, which is also very suitable for use in the office.
High durability is a major advantage of mechanical keyboards, and the hot-swappable linear quicksilver axis provides a single axis with a service life of 50 million times, ensuring that heavy users can use it for a longer period of time. In addition, it has a dust-proof design on both sides of the shaft, the contact shrapnel part is gold-plated, and the shaft is made of self-lubricated PVC material, which ensures that it has a longer use time.
Of course, the biggest advantage of this shaft is that it supports hot swapping. Simply remove the keycap, insert the keyboard shaft puller into the upper and lower parts of the shaft, and then pull out the shaft. When installing the shaft, you only need to align the shaft with the corresponding pins, press and hear a clicking sound, which means the installation of the shaft is complete. During the process of unplugging and installing the shaft, the keyboard does not need to be powered off. All you need to do is select the appropriate shaft and install it on the keyboard.
In addition to the quicksilver shaft, Rapoo also specially designed another shaft body – the elastic white shaft. The spring white switch also supports hot swapping and adopts a stepless design, but the trigger pressure and key travel of this switch are lower, and the feel is lighter.
Of course, Rapoo V700DIY also has broader DIY capabilities. Its circuit board is suitable for most five-pin hot-swappable switches on the market, and cooperates with five-pin switches from other brands such as Kaihua and TTC. Each user can combine their own needs and DIY a mechanical keyboard that suits them best.
“Texture first”
Nowadays, RGB has almost become the standard configuration of keyboards. It not only complements the desktop environment built by the user, but is also the personalized expression of each person. 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 playing games, you can switch to colorful RGB, and use different lighting effects to meet your own personality.

In order to meet the characteristics of RGB, the keycaps of Rapoo V700DIY are also made of PBT material. It has high chemical stability and mechanical strength and is very suitable for use as keycaps. Moreover, PBT keycaps are also difficult to oil, and the innate light color is also very suitable for creating pure white keycaps. Therefore, the PBT material translucent keycaps used by Rapoo V700DIY are undoubtedly quite suitable.
Rapoo V700DIY adopts aluminum alloy upper cover
In addition, this time Rapoo V700DIY also uses an aluminum alloy upper cover. The combination of silver and white also gives it a bit more temperament. At the same time, Rapoo also added a dorsal fin shape to the right side and accommodated the mode switching button, light switching button, wheel mode switching button, mute button, and light brightness and volume adjustment wheel in this area, making the keyboard more compact.
The bottom of the keyboard is designed with a silicone tripod
It is worth mentioning that the Rapoo V700DIY also adopts the currently well-received separated keyline design. This design abandons the thick wires of the traditional RGB mechanical keyboard, and the detachable design is also more convenient to carry. Of course, Rapoo has also introduced a gold-plated USB interface design 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 stickers on the bottom can also flexibly adjust the angle of the keyboard, and there is no need to worry about the keyboard sliding 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 for improving usage efficiency. Through Rapoo's own driver software, the 104 buttons of the Rapoo V700DIY can be programmed independently, and through the macro editing function in the software, many complex operations in the game can also be triggered at one time.

In daily use, I also like to use the driver to adjust the lighting effects of the keyboard. The lighting brightness, speed, and lighting mode can all be adjusted directly.
write at the end
The emergence of hot-swappable mechanical keyboards meets the “personalized” needs of users. For example, FPS players can replace the “WASD” with a switch with shorter key travel and faster triggering, or replace the commonly used input area with a more flexible switch, which can further improve the user experience.
Through the continuous updating and iteration of mechanical keyboards, this personalized use experience has become easier and easier to obtain. The price of the Rapoo V700DIY hot-swappable RGB backlit gaming mechanical keyboard is only 299 yuan. Compared with other keyboards, it also has many advantages in terms of price. If you are a user who pursues personalization, the Rapoo V700DIY is a good choice in the current mechanical keyboard market.
